Yes, restoring cars is an absolute yes.

I'd like to learn more about sound engineering and mixing. I'm pretty much just a live musician, I need to know more about pro-tools, recording, etc.

And Chinese... for business purposes.

That's probably good, I'm sure Asian girls are put off by nerds who want to fulfill their hentai fantasies and watch DBZ 24/7.

If an Asian girl grew up in America you could probably talk to her about whatever you'd talk to any other girl about.

12/16/2009 1:49:34 PM

Survival skills.. but not likely I'd ever get to truly use them, and I guess I already know a fair amount... but i guess if you needed it, you couldn't know too much.

Construction, on the nerdier level--not the "I shingle for some guy in the summer", more like "I have a plot of land in Vermont that I built a compound on and have all sorts of cool stuff".

Cooking.

12/17/2009 9:57:04 AM

It's not that I haven't learned anything about it, but I would like to learn some more specialty stuff in the realm of cooking


I can do all the standard stuff (more so than most of the other guys I know), but I would like to be able to impress some people with some shit-


and in this, I would include wine and beer knowledge, again stuff I know a decent amount, but I would like to know alot more (especially about pairings and stuff)

"and how to drive a stick shift"

Carson needs to get on this... I feel like everyone should know how to do this, and it baffles me how many people don't know how

what if you are in a life and death situation, and the only way to get somewhere is in a manual... I know it sounds extreme, but that would be a crappy place to be.

I wish I still had my little car, cause I have a whole gaggle of people I want to teach how to drive a manual

I've been shown a few times before, but no one ever explained WHY I was doing what I was suppose to be doing, so it never really stuck.

A less extreme version of this happened once, involving my DD getting completely shitfaced drunk/stoned... long story short I tried to drive home and ended up rolling backwards down a hill at a stoplight, I was so pissed/freaked out that I walked home and left his drunk ass in the passenger seat in the middle of the road.
