I'm not talented at all, but I play any instrument I can get my hands on, mix / produce, delve into sound design, do graphic design (got halfway to my AA degree before drinking intervened, and I need to complete it yesterday), do video editing, and I even enjoy trying to wrap my head around game programming or other means of visual programming (Audiomulch and Reaktor patching, for any of the other nerds here - basic ****, but it's a lot of fun).
Thankfully, I get to use the most basic forms of these skills in my work, so it's not all a wasted pursuit.
Art is the only thing that makes sobriety bearable, especially if you have time on your hands (everybody technically does, but art is a much better pastime than TV IMHO). I don't know what the hell I'd do without it.
