    A thread that's probably been done a billion times, but I haven't seen it so fuck it.

    I was just reading that 'instrument' thread there.


    I wish I could play the fiddle, and get laid obviously. Not incredibly adventurous (well not the first one anyone) but ah well.



    So what about you?

    Why not add why you can't do the things you want to do too. I'd love to be fluent in Irish but can't devote the time to it at the moment but it will happen.

    I wish I could fly, dream big people ;)

    I wish I could sing. And it's only when I'm drunk that I ever believe that I can. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,842 ✭✭✭✭kippy


    Am happy with my lot but really wish I had an understanding/talent for music/singing.
    Even just being able to sing well would be a great starting point.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving


    I wish I could get my own way ALL the time and that I could turn spider webs in to €100 notes.

    Yeah good idea. I can't play the fiddle because it would require far more work and effort than I'm capable of. Might try it in the future though.


    Getting laid, well blame my looks and/or personality

    Find inner peace (seriously).

    Play a guitar.

    Do a wheelie in my car.

    Throw a rock at a target @ 100mtrs.

    Have a chat with my dogs.

    Speak fluent Irish.

    Have a summer house in Cliffden, Co.Galway.

    Cos beastality wasn't illegal back then?

    I wish I could take up astronomy - pretty confusing knowing where to start, and equipment is expensive.


  • Registered Users Posts: 645 ✭✭✭dagdha


    Have a chat with my dogs.

    +1 on that. I'd love to be able to have a chat with my dogs, I often sit there looking at them and thinking to myself that I would love to know what they are thinking and what's going through their heads, especially in those situations where you find yourself and your dog just looking at you.:confused:

    I'd love to be able to speak Spanish and play the guitar.

    I can play the fiddle, since I was 5 years old, but it most certainly doesn't get you laid. Just pay for a hooker, some of them are really good.

    I've two dogs, a Staff and a Pitbull.. The Pitbull is the softest, gentlest and more loyal dog ever.. But he looks evil (poor thing, everyone is afraid of him), when people meet him for the first time they fall in love with him and almost all say "he looks like he has something he wants to say".

    I've never seen a dog look so deep into your eyes, I'd swear he's been here in another life!.

    My grandad is an astronomer. He starts speaking and my brain turns into a bag of jelly. So.freaking.complex.

    I wish:

    I could sing
    I could write poetry
    I was thinner
    I was happier about not being thinner/prettier
    I could speak lots of languages
    I could talk to my cat
    I was wealthy
    I got a job that excited me

    Most though: I wish I could live in New York forever.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    I wish I could; be in America right now over with a person I miss (end of april will be there! :)), get out of my rut, shag on a church alter, sing well enough that I could make a modest living as a troubadour with just me, my guitar and my passport, be fit again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    I've always wanted to be able to play bass. Unfortunately though, my attention span ain't great, so I never really got into it. Some day I might though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,314 ✭✭✭Marcus.Aurelius

    Had Staffies all my life, everyone says the same about them and related breeds like pitbulls.

    There's something so human about them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    I wish I could play my guitar like Steve Vai or Joe Satriani. Failing that, knowing how to speak German, Spanish or Japanese...or all three!

    I wish I could zap myself from one place to another, have a cuppa with my mum in Holland, be back here in time for tea.
    zap myself to Australia every morning to earn more cash, and still be back in Ireland every night.
    I also would love to make myself invisible and sneak into people's homes to see what they're up to when they think they're alone.
    And I wish I could sing really well and play every instrument I get my hands on.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 318 ✭✭grungepants


    1-I wish I was little bit taller,
    I wish I was a baller,
    I wish I had a girl who looked good
    I would call her
    I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
    and a 64' Impala

    I wish I was like six-foot-nine
    So I can get with Leoshi
    Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
    You know I see her all the time
    Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
    I can scheme a way to make her mine
    Cause I know she's livin phat
    Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
    So how am I gonna compete with that
    'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
    I'm always last to be picked
    And in some cases never picked at all
    So I just lean up on the wall
    Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
    Who came to watch their men ball
    Dag y'all! I never understood, black
    Why the jocks get the fly girls
    And me I get the hood rats
    I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble
    Got hit with a bottle
    And I been in the hospital
    For talkin' that mess
    I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
    That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
    Glad I came to my senses
    Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
    Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together
    Right?
    So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type
    (rpt 1, 1)

    I wish I had a brand-new car
    So far, I got this hatchback
    And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
    And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
    I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
    But that's flat
    And do you really wanna know what's really whack
    See I can't even get a date
    So, what do you think of that?
    I heard that prom night is a bomb night
    With the hood rats you can hold tight
    But really tho' I 'm a figaro
    When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
    Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
    Well then I'ma have to get in my car and go
    You know I take the 110 until the 105
    Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
    Cause it's hard to survive when your livin'
    In a concrete jungle and
    These girls just keep passin' me by
    She looks fly, she looks fly
    Makes me say my, my, my
    (rpt 1, 1)

    I wish I was a little bit taller...
    I wish I was a baller...
    I wish I was a little bit taller y'all
    I wish I was a baller (3)

    Hey, I wish I had my way
    'Cause everyday would be a Friday
    You could even speed on the highway
    I would play ghetto games
    Name my kids ghetto names
    Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
    Yo you know that's on the real
    So if you're down on your luck
    Then you should know just how I feel
    Cause if you don't want me around
    See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
    Hey, you , what's that sound?
    Everybody look what's going down
    Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
    Everybody wants

    Realistically:
    I wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life so I could go study it and persue it.
    I wish I could play at least one instrument properly.
    I wish I was better with technological things.
    I wish I could speak at least another language or two fluently.

    In my dreams:
    I wish I could teleport like in Star Trek
    I wish I was more 'exotic/Mediterranean' looking

    And being a little bit taller wouldn't be a bad thing either:p
