Of course my wife hates this, I have this thing where I take a deep breath and hold it while I'm sleeping. She says she sits there and watches the clock sometimes and I lay there holding my breath for 2 minutes or more. She's slapped me a few times to wake me up.
If you stop breathing while you're sleeping, you could have sleep apnea...where the throat seems to relax in on itself, and blocks the airway. There's treatment for this. The saturation level of oxygen in the blood can be considerably reduced by sleep apnea. It might be worth looking into.
I've watched my brother-in-law hold his breath for 5 minutes. Everyone in the room was screaming at him to stop holding his breath, because he started to turn blue. It was actually quite freaky to watch.
I'm pretty good at video games. When Myth the Fallen Lords was new I made it to a rank of 83rd in the world. I usually dominant at LAN parties when we play FPS, and because of this I've had friends comment that, "Killing Quarem is better than sex." No joke.
Because they become totally loyal even though you openly are not. When you have 4 all thinking they will be the one to convert you, then you know.
Ah, but their big mistake is becoming totally loyal.
Never a strategic move for a female when dealing with someone who openly plays the field. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Gotta give that guy a taste of his own medicine; and if he 'comes around' and decides HE wants to be loyal to ensure her loyalty, great. If not...OH WELL... just more water under the bridge. 8)
But seriously, it's usually the ones that always get what they want that think they will.
To get what she wants, a female sometimes needs to give the impression that her interest in a guy is extremely casual and mild; and she needs to be seeing other people at the time, just as he is doing.
You have to be perfectly willing to 'lose' someone in order NOT to lose him. heh. This is not a game for the faint of heart. And, unfortunately, it IS indeed a game. Tsk. But hey, I didn't make the rules. I just know how they work!
Becoming loyal to a guy who isn't is just foolish, shortsighted, and SUCH poor strategy. No, no, no. That will NEVER work. Guess they'll have to learn the hard way. Oh well.
I'm afraid that I have an addictive type personality. A few years ago, I became intensely addicted to shooting hoops, for 2-3 hours every night.
I didn't have much range (distance). Guess you need more upper-body strength than I have (though everyone says that's not true ). But I could go around the key and never miss. Ahhhh.....love it SOOOO ****ing much!!! Perfect jump-shot form, too. (Let me make it abundantly clear right up front that I DON'T shoot like a GIRL!!!!! EEEeeeccchhh!! ) And I was never on a girls' high school team, or anything. Shooting around is something I took up as an adult. (Weird, huh?)
Then I got a hairline fracture in my right ankle from a jogging accident, and ended up in a walking cast for six weeks. As soon as the cast dried, I was out on the courts. BUT...I couldn't put any weight on my right foot for a jump shot, so instead I developed a hook shot, going off my left foot. That's all I could shoot for six weeks, so I got REALLY good at it. heh.
Now, in class or anywhere, any time I have paper for the waste-paper basket, it's gotta be a hook shot. I always make it - if the paper stays waded tightly enough. 8)
God, I love basketball. Finger-roll lay-ups, around-the-back lay-ups. It all just FEEEEELS so good! Ya know what I mean???
My dribbling skills, however, need a LOT of work. Sigh. I SUCK at dribbling. Damn!!! But since I have a Gemini moon sign, I know that I can get good at it, with dedicated effort.

P.S. Oops. I think I mentioned most of this in the broken bones thread....oh well. Sorry about that.....
One thing I'm good at is cooking. I may not be maître de cuisine like Anders, but it's good enough that people return to eat at my place. Ha. I'm also good in wasting my time on the internet.
What I really excel at: Reading. Reading books. I've always been the fastest in my class, but I'm the fastest in my whole school. 500 Pages? Give me a day. (Sometimes less than that.) Listening. Yes, I'm good at that, even though I'm male. You may have heard of some guy who 'understands women'? that's me. Listening isn't that hard, but you just have to do it. Women like it. Another thing I really really excel at is 3D Modeling. Not 3D Modeling of people, but of machines. The tool that my company uses, Pro/Engineer, is more for the engineer, not for the Cinema 4D type. I'm really quick and fast at it. I also know a lot of its quirks and faults. I have lots of knowledge of it, and I'm fast. click click clickclick click done.
There are other things I'm good at, but hey, you can always come over and find out?

That's what you say now.
But seriously, it's usually the ones that always get what they want that think they will.

Hey... thank guys.
After a loooong hiatus from painting, I'm forcing myself to get back into it. Here's the site I've made to help me do it:

You can see some more of my work in the gallery section of the forums.
