Crazy Hobbies

What's your hidden talent or hobby most people may not know?

I ride a unicycle and dabble in magic, clowning and play Santa Claus. Most people I know never recognize me when in costume or makeup and not even my kids know me as Santa to this day. My daughter almost figured it out (and may have by now) when I visited their school when she was younger and she said to me, " Dad, that Santa that came to our school today looked just like you." Not waiting to give away the "secret" I quickly said, "well...Santa always looks like someone you love."

1. i dont hide my talents they are exposed n explored
2. My hidden talent or hobby would have to be playing my keyboard. Alot of my friends don't know I use to play the keyboard and I used to sing too in church concerts and stuff but I don't do them much anymore.
3. well I'm a kinds shy person so I don't really get to showcase my talants too much I guess well singing, I'm shy about singing. I'm not the greatest singer but at least i can carry a good tune. my parents both like singing and I like singing in the shower but I don't like singing in front of people
4. I can read your mind. Yes I can. Can so. Stop thinking that. I am not.
5. I love art. Usually all forms but mostly the classics.
6. When I was a child back in the fifty's, I always read comic books. When I finished reading one, I would always draw the front cover, before giving the comic to someone else to read. When I started art class in school. It was a realy boring even though I got streight aaa's. I was also good at building plastic ships, cars and airplanes, eather plastic or wood. Painting by numbers was boring, so I always drew my own picture on it and painted it my own way. I always would draw the picture in the magazine where it showed an animal to draw, that said to "Draw Me" and want you to send it in. I had a friend who sent them in. In return, they would always tell him how good it was and ask for money to send for more pictures, and each time the price got higher. I just drew mine to prove to myself I can do better. When I got into high school I breezed through drafting also with streight aaa's. In high school, I learned to be a tailor. When I joined the navy I was a tailor, and made my own clothes in my spare time while at sea, and learned well how to play chess. after service moved to Detroit and was a tailor, but the auto industry called so I ended up the next 30 years as a pipefitter. Before marriage I made my wife her gown for the prom. after marriage when our daughter was born, since back there was no wallpaper in Disney designs, so I painted Winnie the Poo characters on her walls. People kept asking where I got the stickers. as a hobby later on, I got into woodworking crafts and stained glass. I even helped teach a couple evening classes in stained glass for a time. So tell your kids, you'll never know where life will take you. To end this my son is a plumber, and my grandson is now my "hobby." as in taking pictures and spoiling.
7. I used to play guitar, but all my friends know that. I like to take pictures.
8. secretly i love to write in my journal everything i saw that day. from the qwirky to the abnormal, but especially the hilarious. little things that crack you up that day but you forget as time goes by. for example when my sister was trying to say "potatoe patatoe" she was thinking of "hakuna matata" and so it came out "patuma patama" you kinda had to be there but it was funny. or the time when my kid brother fell into the crack between the bed and hte wall and woke up the next morning screaming "who put me here?! Who put me here!?!"
9. I can whistle melodies really really well.
