Come to vegas man. I'll show you some thangz.

I'd love to learn more about engineering specifically I want to be able to always fix my amp, and build my own effect pedals. Part of me wants to go back to school, the other part says I can probably teach myself.

Have you read chess books? I got about as good as I could get w/o reading the books and then started digging into em. They bored me to tears and I didn't keep up with them, but I did get the sense that unless you're naturally a chess prodigy you have to read books and worth through their exercises/problems to get to the next level.

love chess...the books are boring and require an intricate knowledge of the game to be beneficial...ive been playing for years and have improved greatly just competing against players equal or better to myself and watching matches between advanced players, studying strategy, sacrifices, etc....to answer the question...

I would love to learn how to read music and play instruments (esp. piano).

Gamble

Better Piano Skills - I can get down as far as making music goes - writing original songs and playing proficiently on them. But Id love to be at some baller party in a tux, sitting at the piano taking requests, Singing along with a martini and knock out blonde at my side.

Recipes rather than cooking on the fly - I FUCK up the kitchen. I seriously get down. But everything I make is improv with the ingredients I have - which means staying consistently stocked with expensive ingredients that sometimes go bad before i get inspired to use them. Not cool. Julia Childs Mastering French Cooking, im coming for your ass.

Wine Knowledge.

Wish I could play stringed instruments. Guitar, why cant I wrap my head around you?

Italian. Being essentially the only person in the family not fluent is NAGL.

French. You too.

Fencing. I have a fantasy of me being lowered by helicopter to some ultra fancy fencing competition in the south of france. I best dukes, princes, landed gentry to become the first angelino world champion. Then i eat caviar out of my helmet with a martini and knock out blonde at my side.
