A few subcultures that have always interested me are "extreme sporters," and "Americans who speak multiple languages." I have always been interested in these two subcultures for the reason that I may possibilly have the ability within me to become a part of one, or even both.
First of all, I happen to suck at skateboarding, snowboarding, and roller-blading. Although I took lessons and actually rode a wave into shore, I suck at surfing as well. For some reason I feel that somewhere deep down I have the potential to atleast get better at some of these venues and possibly someday, incorporate them into my free-time activites. In my leisure time I enjoy hiking, Basketball, football, and swimming; I have never really done any extreme sports other than biking. Actually, I just recently learned to "bunny hop" even though it took me about 7 or 8 years to finally man up and try it again. All in all, I might have been born to be more of a general sporty kind of guy; at any rate, I atleast want to learn to snowboard (it doesn't hurt as bad when you beef it on the snow).
Speaking multiple languages is something I have also always been interested in. Having been to Jamaica, and California (an area with tons of Bilenguals), I was inspired to become a speaker of atleast one other language. But I want to be fluent in another language. I did take two years of Spanish but I am quite limited to introducing myself, where I am from, and an obscenity or two. I am curious as to how some Americans can so easily adopt multiple languages. I would not consider myself jealous, but I am definately intrigued by these people. In conclusion, I simply want to be able to speak inteligently in atleast one other language. That is a subculture that I am looking forward to becoming a part of (if I only had the time).
