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.

Oh my goodness! this post is sooooo interesting I think I will have to say its my favorite!!!!;)
Kakiedoo
I aim to please ;)
~Rob
Well, you really do need to put a REAL new post on:) I guess this could be a chatting post:)
Kkdoo
Sure!
I mean... I've got nothing better to do but then again, in the time it takes me to chat I could write up a new post but that isn't as fun and enjoyable...
~Rob ;)
Are you glad to have your brother back home where he belongs?
I could very well assume you don't know what to do with yourself, you know, having a brother come back home then have another leave for a week...
I mean... that's got to be frustrating!
But then again, having Jaron back after all those weeks may off set the frustration...
If I where you I would chain all my siblings to a post and tell them there not aloud to leave... EVER!
But then I would be taking away their freedom and it just wouldn't be as fun...
When you think about it, tough times just brings you closer together!
I guess that's why divers trials and temptations are so necessary and (if you play it out right) rewarding!
~Rob

I am a homicidal maniac when it comes to grammar...
Did I miss anything???
LOL
;)
~Rob
whoa that was deep...
Yes, its nice to have him back, and frustrating for Missy and J.C. to be gone!
Kakiedoo
O, that's right...
Missy is gone too
Let me share your pain...
*Jaw drop*
*the sound of a distant scream*
*the sound of someones head banging against a wall*
*the sound of someone in lots of agony...*
I don't think that made me feel any better...
I have a head ache...

~Rob
so i think there's only 4 people blogging right now. just a random fact. i like the music.
Yea, You, me, Kailey, and Ryan...
you spelled KAYLIE wrong.
Don't bother correcting me...
I'm hopeless...
;)
~Rob
I don't think I am QUITE that frustrated:):):)
Kakiedoo
And its more like 3 people blogging cuz Ryan has not gotten on in a long time, or at least if he has he hasn't made a new post or commented on anything..
Kakiedoo
Here we go I am going to leave a post riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight ummmmm
...
...
Here!!!!
PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Render Moonarrow~
Hey I'm here! Did you miss me? So who all is gone because this is like really boring without everyone. PEACE OUT! darby
Hey Darby! Of course we missed you!
We always miss you given the fact you're a thousand miles away and you only pop up out of nowhere from only time to time...
;)
Everyone is at Summit...
(World view Camp)
which apparently I am missing out on but, hey! You and I are going to the film festival!!!
I just enrolled into a film academy!!!
Cinenosin Film Academy
Tomball and Online
www.cinenosin.com
I'll be there for the Vision Form Academy and to promote Cinenosin
I CAN'T WAIT!!!
This is one more AWESOME THING!
I am the mentors personal assistant so I get to film the class and do all the "grunt" work...
Here is the catch...
I'll be getting some great filming experience, I'll be known as a key element in the production of the online courses (coming soon), and i get FREE tuition!!!
Other than the drive this academy is pretty much a huge first step for me...
I'm just glad there's going to be a little less sacrifice money wise than originally anticipated ...
Just another sign of God's handy work.
Good to hear from you, as always
Your Friend,
~Rob
O! What do you think of the new blog design?
Thats awesome!
The design is very cool.
Kakiedoo
Ya know, on one of your side pics of a car where you said "beauty at its finest"? Well, you spelled beauty wrong. Just thought I would point that out.
Kakiedoo
So will you be there for the Festival part too? Please say yes because otherwise there is a very slim chance of me seeing you I was looking at the schedule online and Wednesday morning my dad meets with the other judges and they have a meeting so I will probably be free then but I don't know if you will be at the place or not. I hope so. But I think we fly in Tuesday night so if you are only there for the academy part then Weds morning would be the only time. Films should be arriving any day! I can't wait! I love getting to watch them before anyone else. Ttyl, Darby maeve
Yea! I'll be there for the festival part of it!But I thought you were going to do the academy too?
I really hope we don't accidentally miss each other :(
It just isn't fair that you get to have so much fun while I have to sit and wait 2 more months...
Don't enjoy yourself to much ;)
But of course, I can't stop anyone from having a good time :)
~Rob
Ok then I am sure we will find each other somehow. Sooner to the time I can e-mail you and find out when is good for you. I don't know anything about what i will be doing wether my schedule will be packed or whether I will be really bored. So either way I will make time for you. :D Ttyl darby
Well thank you!
I think my heart just skipped a beat...
I AM SO EXITED!!!
I CAN'T WAIT ANY MORE!!!
October here I come
Festival! Here I come!
Darby here I come!!!
;)
~Rob
OW!
Who put that wall there???
I could understand how you could be plenty occupied if your schedule winds up being booked but how could you possibly be bored if I will be there?
Just a thought ; )
Good Night
and
Peace Out!
~Rob
too true too true
