Me
By Robert W. Oakley
Who am I? To put it simply, I am a Boy Scout. Allow me to elaborate: A scout is trust worthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent; ask anyone who knows me and they will say, “Rob Oakley is a Boy Scout." Clearly these attributes seem too good to be true—honestly no one is perfect—on the contrary, I strive to do my best and a good turn daily. ¶ I also like to consider myself as a good friend: a friend of understanding and great consideration for others and their feelings. Listening, an ear which is quick to hear, also strikes as an awesome quality; however, it does lack in memory, but I am working on this forgetful mind of mine. Tell me your name and I am bound to forget; get to know me and sooner or later will understand each other; eventually I’ll get the bare minimums down and the names straitened out, but please be patient. ¶ Patience, patience, what an interesting concept; do you ever wonder of all the things you wait for and ask, “Is it ever truly worth it”? Clearly, in many cases it is but surly there was a time when you finally got that something and it didn’t turnout quite like you intended. I hate to wait; then again, I love it, but will there ever really be a day when I will truly want nothing and be made perfect and entire? Of course there will and I count the days and realize they are numbered but heaven waits on the other side—the next greatest adventure. ¶ Life is full of its adventures—large and small, great and tall, few and far between—I grow weary at times when there is nothing to do, but I suppose I could pick up a book and transport almost instantly to the lands unknown and the lands of fantasy. “Why don’t these lands truly exist?” I often wonder “and why must stories end?” I suppose that is why I find writing quite a fancy: where old fables and tales end another begins out of thy own very hand thus creating a new original, personal, exquisite, and extreme theme of wonder (well, at least to my own opinion; I could care less what others would have to say). To be that Hercules, Spartacus, or dragon slayer; to live in Middle earth, Rome, or Alpha Centaury; to even know and become best friends and live together with some of the greatest characters the world has ever known would blow my mind, but alas it will never be so. On the other hand, I do have this life! And I can make it my own; on the other hand, I serve an awesome God who has an incredible plan for me; on the other hand, I don’t know what that plan is, but where ever and what ever it is, I know it will be a time of infamous wonder. ¶ I always strive to set a good example and to be as original as possible. I’d finally consider myself to be an artist (brace yourself). If I could choose any one profession, it simply couldn’t be done: in other words, I want to do everything! Well, at least the things I consider fun, exiting, and beneficial, but where do you draw the line? I want to be an artist--gourmet chef, graphic artist, animator, film maker, producer, director, actor, entertainer, writer, author, musician, conductor. . . . EVERYTHING!!! I want to be a Renaissance Man and a Renaissance Man I shall be! Amen.

I am SOOOO ENVIOUS!! That looks like so much FUN!! Do you have a particular band that you always use?
O!
I know the music we use is popular but to be honest it's just a small juke box and some large speakers
Irish music and other tunes I am sure you've heard and have fallen in love with.
It would be neat though to have live music!
~Rob
everybody's crazy about a sharped dressed man...................and chocolate chips
Ya'll look great. I can't wait till the winter ball. I wish I didn't have to miss the spring one. But duty calls. I was at the Homeschool World Series Regionals in Fort Worth. I must admit it was ALOT more fun than Dancing. I do hope you agree Mr. Robby.
Baseball is the BOMB!
so is dancing :)
Yep They're both on my Top 10 favs list.
That frog game is addictive!
Isn't it?
I've managed to step away from it for awhile, bu you just wait and see: I Rob WILL make it on the top ten list!
~Rob
Oh yeah? Well I Darby will make the top 300 list! Ha ha ha ha!!!
4250
I've gotten as much as 14000
HE HE
but then again I had LOTS of practice
LOL
I'm baby sitting while Ryan, Dad, and Mom are at the SETHSA conference...
So you can call me...
Mr.MOM
ERR... I don't think that title is very masculine...LOL
~Rob
Ha Ha I thought babysitting was a girls job?? Jk. I am babysitting right now too that is why I have so much time on my hands to do stuff on the computer I was babysitting yesterday too. Fun. At least I get paid do you? How old are you? (that was random) Darby Maeve
No... I don't get paid...
I just get rewarded for my good deeds
but, hey, I can't complain! I have a roof over my head, plenty of food to eat, and cloths on my back
Usually you can find out a lot about someone by reading his profile.
I'm 17 years of age (say this with a scruffy old voice)
Na, thats not old at all!
I hated it when I turned 16! now look at me.
Sometimes I feel like my life is a raging river--uncontrollable and rushing far to quickly.
This summer is gonna go just like that and there is nothing I can do about it.
O well!
but you don't want to listen to me wine and complain about there being no such than as a never land.
I do look forward to having a career someday and a family of my own though :)
Future film maker!
I make movies like "Facing the Giants," "The End of the Spear," and "The Last Sin Eater" ect.
I am a BIG fan of SCI FI and Fantasy too!
Hopefully this will happen! but it all depends on what God wants; I pray and ask everyday what he wants me to do, and little by little he tells me and I try to go and do with Gazelle intensity!
~Rob
Did I say I made films like such and such???
What I meant to say is I WANT to make films like such and such...
OOPS!
Have you watched the Oakley epic movie "Dragon's Lair"?
If not, I'll either post on this blog or you could watch it on my Oak Tree Productions Blog or the new (in the middle of construction)
Oakley Vblog
where every movie I've made or just really like will be!!!
~Rob
I did it!
I got on the frogger list!
Rank 289!!!
Beat that...if you dare
wow... I don't dare. I can't make it past level 3
~MW~
Aw! come on I was just try to be a little intimidating you can do it!
I'm still alive:):):) Maybe I'm not everywhere:) I haven't made more than 2000 on that Frogger game.
Kakiedoo
Your not on there anymore. :D Sorry I havn't read your profile very carefully I just scroll down to where it shows your blog and click on that. :) I still havn't seen Facing the Giants. :( I LOVE the Last Sin Eater though and the book is even better. No I havn't seen "Dragons Lair" but I am sure it is very good. Are you making a movie for the film festival? My dad is a judge so we get to watch them all like 2 months ahead of time. :D I love movies... Some of them are really boring though. And some are done really badly. Oh well. One thing my dad says that you always have to watch out for in a Christian film is to have a strong message but not have it be too preachy. Does that make sense? I hope so. Let me know when you figure out who the anony is! Darby
Yea that makes scenes!
I think Time changer is one of those movies :)
It would be neat to make a movie for the festival, but I just don't have the reassures to get started...
I do have connections though; I just might surprise even myself if things work out :)
I can't get past level one on that aggravating frogger thing!!!
BTW, Thanks for that awesome picture, Robby. That is so cool!!
You're welcome ;)
You should receive it via E-mail soon!

~Rob
