Glad I learned it, and I still use that method to tie things in general, but I actually never do this any more. At some point in my youth, I realized there were plenty of shoes that you just slip on, and honestly I’ve been glad to avoid the hassle.
I wish I had learned more music as a kid. Kept thinking it wasn’t my thing, and then eventually (while still young) that I was too old. Later I got into it; I’m still not any good, but it’s a lot of fun. What keeps you from playing around with music these days?
To be fair, I do wear loafers and such quite a bit at work, but I do wear sneakers when I work out, and those use laces.
A combination of factors… I don’t really think I have a passion for playing music at all; I don’t think I ever did. I just played music to play, and while it was fun, it was never something I cared too much about. I love music, but I love listening and thinking about music much more than I do actually playing or making it myself.
That being said, I basically stopped entirely when I moved for university. My trumpet stayed behind with my philharmonic band and my guitar and bass gathered dust while I did other things I was enjoying more at the time.
