talent?

[fowltemptress]

None of my talents make for anything visually stunning, but my SO spins and breathes fire.

You can't really see on these next two, but he's in that ball of flame somewhere.

I forgot to add . . . ironically enough, he's a firefighter

Yep, that's what I said when I first saw it.

I forced him to do it for the talent show at our family reunion . . . so now he's more popular in my family than I am

I bet he is! Fire is awesome..... In the right arena

LOL Odd hobby for a firefighter! That's down right neat though! How did he learn to do that?

He's one of those annoying people who picks up a new hobby every month and winds up being able to do it perfectly in a matter of a week or two.

It makes for an interesting life. I've been through his obsession with scuba diving, rock climbing, hunting, sword swallowing, sphere play, wood working, lock picking . . . you name it, and he's probably tackled and mastered it. This particular hobby was picked up when he met a guy in college who spins with a fire spinning group. He decided to learn it from them, did a few shows with the group, and the rest is history. I never have to worry about coming up with an ice breaker with him, that's for sure.

Wow that is awesome that he can learn so many things that fast!!

It's nice, especially when he chooses a hobby that can really help around the house. It can be a bit daunting at times, because I take awhile to learn something and it makes my head twirl a bit to see him spinning the fire while I'm still trying to figure out how to move the things without conking myself in the head. Right now he's going through a woodworking phase and making end grain cutting boards. I'll post some pictures of them later, if anyone's interested in seeing them. He's only finished one so far, but it's incredible looking, IMO.
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Yeah, he can do all that, but he can't spell!" just to assure people he's human.
