Things You Will Never Be Able to Do!

I want to be fluent in every language in the world.

Not gonna happen. It’s taken me about a decade just to learn Spanish. Foo.

A pull up.

At my most healthy, strongest body and lowest weight, I could not do a pull up. I actually could not figure out what muscles I needed to move. That was about 5 years ago and I’m only getting older and fatter.

Ah, the Pee of Tranquility.

Compete the the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest. I had a gastric bypass a few years back, and it’s all I can do to eat 2 hotdogs at a sitting. If I tried 50, I’d be running at both ends before exploding violently.

Do time in a Turkish prison.

Give a sitting President of the U.S. a killer wedgie.

Taste an Ivory Billed Woodpecker.

Win the entire Westminster Dog Show with some dog I picked up at the pound.

Work as an Alaskan bush pilot.

Own a famous Louisiana plantation house but that one might be a maybe.

Kick Kim Jong il hard in the nuts as he is laying on his deathbed.

Design a large building that is both attractive AND functional.

Throwing a football for any sort of distance or accuracy. I’ve been told that there’s a certain age-range after which such skills are very, very difficult to learn, and I know I -never- played catch or anything similar before those ages with anything more fast-moving than a balloon. Believe me, I regret how terribly I throw.

I wonder if I’ll ever visit the US. I keep having dreams where in the dream I say to myself “I’m finally here, and it’s not just one of them dreams where I think I’m here and I’m not dreaming”

I have New York in mind specifically.
