There are some things, that no matter how much I wish to be skilled at them or at least not poor, I cannot learn. So, this thread is dedicated to that skill which you have been unable to master despite reasonable dedication/desire to do so. I'm curious what other people have in the forever unchecked "learn" list.
I've got two right off:
1. Play chess. I'm no dummy but I just suck at chess and it pisses me off. I've read enough books to know most openings but by mid-game I've always done something stupid. The mind is a strange thing, and mine cannot grasp chess.
2. Fillet a fish. I see those guys who can take a dull knife and come out with a cartoon fish bone thing and two beautiful fillets, I cannot. I get shreds, I get bones, I get fish nuggets, I get wasted fish. Arggghhh.
Carry on.
