Things I'll Never Be Able to Do

As I have gotten older, I have been forced to come to the realization that there are some things that I will never be able to do. I had always been of the mind set that "I can do anything that I set my mind to". It hate to say it, but that isn't always the case. Here are 5 examples of things that I'll never be able to do.

1) Hula Hoop - I have never been able to keep a hula hoop off the ground for more then a few seconds. I see other people doing it and it seems so easy, but I simply can't do it nor will I ever be able to.

2) Roll my tongue - Do you know what I mean by this? It is where you fold up the sides of your tongue to make it look like a circle. My wife can do this. My son, Selleck, can even do this. But, sadly, I will never be able to do this.



3) Win the lottery - No matter how much I would love to win the lottery, I never will. The lottery seems to have this dumb rule that says you can only win if you buy a ticket. And, since I never buy a ticket, it seems that I'll never be able to win the lottery.

4) Dunk a basketball - In the height of my athletic ability, I was able to dunk a baseball, but, I could never jump high enough or control the ball well enough, in one hand, to be able to dunk it. So, with my athletic ability continuing to decline, I do not see myself ever being able to dunk a basketball.

5) Play a professional sport - This last one goes hand and hand with number 4. As my athletic ability dwindles and my age increases, it seems that my hopes of playing a professional sport are diminishing with each passing day. So, unless they come out with a new professional sport, like t.v. watching, I will never become a professional athlete.

I know you may be sad for me, because I will never be able to do any of these things listed above, but you don't need to be. There are still lots of things that I might still be able to do. I can't really think of what those things might be, but if I do, you can rest assured that I will post a blog about them!
