I need a hobby!

In last night's finale of Beauty and the Geek, the two final couples were asked to spend the day teach each other what they are good at. Chuck taught Caitilin martial art, Cait in turn taught the big handsom geek how to cook salmon. Meanwhile, their rivals, Richard and Mindi were busy acquainting with each other also. Mindi coached Richard kayaking, and who knows the obnoxious Richard could play a beautiful piano solo. It really proved the fact that you can not judge a book by its cover, and everyone has his/er shining points. Then, being a narcissist that I am, I thought about myself. If I were on the show and asked to teach the other partner what I am very good at, what would I do? Dug into my memories, I did learn to play some instrument when I was five, and I even used to go to pingpong lessons when I was in elementary school, then for my lack of perseverance and my parent's overprotectiveness, I didn't follow through. I don't really have anyting that I can be an expert of. Then this sense of shame began to come over me. What have I done for the last twenty+ years? I felt like a big L was hanging on my forehad. Half of the summer has already been gone, and what have I done? Nada, except sitting on my ass all day at my office. I want to learn something, anything, yoga, karate, cycling, you name it. I don't think I can afford keeping squandering my life away like this anymore.
