Hey Everyone!
Today was rather interesting...
I mean I can remember just waking up and thinking to myself, "I hope something interesting happens today and that I don't get stuck with nothing to do at home..."
Just then, later that day, Mom got an email saying that the "Snake Man" is in town!
So we admittedly eat lunch got dressed and headed out to see the awesome snakes!
Check out the video!
Enjoy,
~The Renaissance--Man
Peace Out!

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.

That's cool. Been reading a lot over the summer?
*Disappearing again*
(Bon-Bon gets it.)
I like manly Jazz and Rock :) The Submarines are considered "Alternitive" So I guess I kind of like that too :)
*laughing* What's "manly jazz and rock" ?
*waving to Render*
Why is that funny? Rob things to him self... Why is that funny...
O! I like those Genres :)
Well, what makes it "manly" ? And not like "girly" or "ummanly" ?
Mainly... Oops

*tilting head* Was there something else to get? Enlighten me?
Anyway...still very goo. :)
Rownamonkey is being dear!
I need to go rock him to sleep.
brb eventually.
*blink* Ok...
Is Rob still here? *searching*
Oh well...I will wait. Gotta answer an email anyway...
OH! I GET IT NOW!

When he disappeared. ... I think that was what he was referring to... other wise, I'm totally, helplessly clueless.
This vid never gets old :)

Oh yeah! So I was going to ask you what your fav bands/artists are...but then you disappeared...
He likes the Wiggles.
Hm...cuz the wiggles are SOOO manly!
Dat right!

He woke up When Mom got back. But now she has him.
Oh, ok. Good. Hm...so...reading...
Reading what?
Have you been reading much?
Me? I did a lot during la trip and at Summer camp.
I don't care much for the band just play something good and I like them :) anyway...
Goodnight ^_^
Any good books?
Ciao and have a good night, Rob.
Erm. I have been re-reading the Hobbit and of course I have been working on la Dragon keeper's Series.
I have also spent a little of time on the Silmarillion.
Good night ya Creep!
(Referring to Rob My insane Brother)
Oh yeah...that's the Elven one by Tolkien, right? How is it?
I was about to say I wasn't leaving yet.
IT reads like a History book.
But it is very interesting and unlocks a lot to the lord of the rings so!
if ya want more info on the lord of the rings read the Silmarillion.
Eh...I love the Hobbit, don't get me wrong, but ... I started LOTR {by myself; dad read it to me outloud when I was little} like 2 years ago...and I'm still on the Council of Elrond. ...I get distracted....very easily...
How many times have you read the Hobbit?
three.
I no know why I like dat book so much...
Eh. Did she blow away?
Me? I asked you a question that you have failed to answer.
I have read the Hobbit THREE TIMES!
anywho!
I gtg!
Mom needs help with the Monster!
Ooooohhhh!!
Oh. Congrads. What other books have you read multiple times?
Ciao and have a good night.
It's a good book. Classic.
Nvm.
Are u still here?
She just wanted me to read something.
Of course I'm still here...I'm always here, except when I'm not.
Ok, so, what would you say is probably the most boring/worst book you've ever read?
Hm... The light and the glory.
Sorry had to reset Comcast AGAIN!
Oh no! You know what this means, right? IT'S NOT DEAD!!!!
I've never heard of that book.
I don't know what it was about dat book but it just made me loose interest really quick.
I don't know maybe it is not Comcast. Maybe it is our Wireless connection.
*nod* I know the feeling.
What about boring school subjects? Which is most boring to you?
Perhaps. Idk much about internet and computers and stuff...
I don't think of them as boring.
Maybe something that wasn't right for me to study.
There is stuff I am really good at and stuff I am just not designed to learn.
I think if it weren't that way everyone would be inventing phones and building nuclear bombs.
so maybe it is a goo thing.
BUT at the same time some things one just needs to develop a taste for.
Like those who are not good with math need to work on it specifically.
Did you know that Albert Einstein was great at math but when it came to spelling he was the worst in the whole school?
He even admitted that he hated spelling.
I see. Good way to view things.
Jw...how is the story coming?
Well if I am going to end this particular part of our large never ending story then I want it to be really good. so it will take a while longer.
Did U want to know dat or Marissa?
Wasn't he dislexic? Or someone else really smart was... Yeah... different people learn different ways.
Hm? Marissa? Wanted to know what?
When la story was coming.
I told her I would add her to it and it has been waiting for quite a while now.
Oh. NO. I was just curious.
Alright.
*Nema is feeling very slow today* Sorry.
So...um..hm...*searching for something to talk about* Bananas! DO you like bananas?
Levi is allergic did I tell U?
I like them but I do not eat them as much as I use to...
Is that the best you can do?
Common!
Hm...
Maybe our topic machines are broken.
Oh...I see.
Arg! I know. Something is wrong with my topic machine...It's stuck between "mindless babbling" and "profound inquiries"...and I'm not sure if either is a good option....sooo....yuor turn! *does not stick out tongue*
Talk to you tomorrow!
BYE BYE!
Wow...I was expecting something else....
Tomorrow night.
Ciao and have a good night, silent elf.
Yep!
TTYL
Crazy Pirate!
Hopefully I'll have thought of something by tomorrow.
Dude! You and Ryan looked like evil princes with those snakes on your necks! I love seeing snakes (when they're not trying to kill you).
Wow..... Hey Rob the vid says "This video is no longer available" Idk if that means you took it off or if it's my Comps problem again. Btw, I was ROFLOL about the "manly rock" thing. :) :) :) ttyl, Darbymeister *nobody calls me that anymore* :(
^_^
It makes me so happy when people hang out on my blog ^_^
It's good to be back :)
Hey Darbymeister! ^_^
Sometimes I call you that when I know you're working really hard (which is probably most of the time)
But you're right :( Nobody calls you that anymore...
I hate typos...
Anyway, :o)
The video is still up from my window...
Just give it a little more time... It will work :)
Hope to hear from you later ^_^
~Rob
Who likes "Manly Rock and Jazz"
^_^
I'm thinking you like this face ^_^ :) Actually I made a pie for Blake a few weeks ago, and I was thinking "Oh, oh, this would be a good time for somebody to call me the Darbymeister" But nobody did.
:( I'm about to try the vid again.... it's so nice to have your blog back to normal.. although almost none of the HBF kids are on it anymore. ttyl
I watched it. :) I am quite terrified of snakes, so watching all those little kids with the snakes wrapped around them made me realize how wimpy I am sometimes. :) I liked the song, was that the one you were telling me about yesterday?
Wait...snakes??? I am so confused. That's what you get for not blogging in a looooonnnnnggg time. ;) Btw I like this song.
That is so cool! I freaked out when they put it on Luna.
