The basic premise of this thread is just to (shamelessly) show off and blow your own horn about why you kick ass.

This isnt about one-upmanship or however you spell that. I hope we might be surprised about any talents or hobbies that some escapists have.

So whether you play guitar or you happen to be a chainsaw artist let us know.

As for myself. I currently practice parkour several times a week and I do medieval full contact longsword fighting. I've also dabbled a bit in archery and firespinning.

Thats some of what I do and I think it makes me awesome. Its why I walk in the streets with a little extra swagger in my step.

No you don't, not before I say it.

Won a battle of the bands a couple of years ago. Singer and Guitarist, that's why I'm awesome.

Heck, guitar is hard enough for me without trying to sing at the same time. Not mention my lack of singing ability.

I'm a handsome and available Renaissance man best known for playing 83 different musical instruments, holds the record for the most weight ever calf-pressed, flown a fighter jet around the world blindfolded, ranks first in the world in good looks, serves on Fortune 500, fluently speaks 83 different languages, can totally be trusted with your daughters, can move small objects with my mind, a tongue contortionist, and I build an orphanage or wells or whatever in poor areas of the world every year if that's what turns you on.

OR,

I'm the lead guitarist and backup growling vocals in a metalcore band jamming on my Ibanez RGT42DXFM, covering material from Flyleaf, Paramore, Evanescence (we have a female singer).

I myself on the other hand cover songs from Dethklok, As I Lay Dying, Trivium, and Metallica (of course).

I have a girlfriend but at this point she's more of a fiancé. I have a large assortment of friends. I'm drug free (I've never even smoked of a cigarette or tried pot because of moral choices) and I choose not to abuse alcohol. I'm pretty content with life.

I also come off as an asshole to a lot of people when I argue.

I've gone fishing, commercial fishing several times, and got to enjoy and see the ocean like most of you probably wouldnt want to but for me its one of those things that make my life interesting to others.

Well, I think I'm awesome because I don't think I'm awesome.
I feel more proud of my modesty, humility and shame, than I should because it seems like a rare thing for people to have nowadays, and I actually will go out of my way to be nice to someone, because it makes me feel better than everyone else around me, and I'm ashamed that I do it just to feel good about myself, no for the person, and the shame is what makes me feel like awesome, because nobody else seems to take much notice of what other people think.

Anyway, I think I'm awesome because I know I'm not.

So do I, whoopty do. I am not seeing that as quite the accomplishment you are.

For me, well I have fought in two wars, and was medically discharged after surviving being blown up. I currently own and run a small buisness here in the Pacific Northwest and we concentrate on custom built automation and robotics systems.
