hobbies/sports/activities you are really good at but have no passion for...

[persiafly]

Basketball. I was always just really good and probably could have made the NBA pretty easily but who wants to put up with filing for the draft and stuff you know? Way too much hassle there. So yeah I just gave it up even though I had such an abundance of natural talent that surely would have translated to 7-figure contracts had I continued, but I just didn't care enough about the game and I didn't love it.

...

yes, i did make all-state.

but  i'm 33 years old, man. digital cameras were barely even a thought while i was playing ball.

sorry, no pics.

Piano and programming. I never really liked piano but I was good and my mom always hoped I would eventually. Nah. Programming is just natural. If I learn the language code its a matter of someone telling me what they want the program to do. Just didn't like sitting infront of a cpu

track and basketball, usually ended up droppin off teams because it just didnt do it for me anymore.

 

[mercenary x]

Street basketball, ya know, doing those fancy tricks and making people ankles snap... for some reason - I lost the passion for it.

I still play from time to time though.

It's funny, because people don't expect me to be good at basketball/crossovers/tricks - but when I step on the court... people be like

that's fine. doesn't really make any difference if you believe me or not.

unlike most of the people here, i don't live with my parents. they are the ones who have all of my baseball stuff. also, all the articles and pictures are 17+ years old. i wouldn't even know where to begin to look for them.

guess i'll never be able to prove it.

you have no idea how much it pains me that a bunch of little 16-17 year old kids don't believe me. i don't even know how i'll make it through the day...

if you have a serious question, i'll be more than happy to answer. just send me a PM.

Drawing, painting, etc... I haven't done any artwork in a while. Used to go to school for fine arts, but just couldn't keep it going. I realized I only became an art major because at the time it was the only thing I knew I was good at. I hadn't discovered any other talents/abilities at that point, and I would have gone down a different path had I taken a little more time. Only time I do any artwork now is if someone commissions me to do a portrait or something for them, but that's it.

I was good with guitar but never appealed to me..
