Well, my pictures are kind of misleading, Karen. I was at a park that has lots of accommodations. A good mixture of wildness and suburban amenities, i.e., paved sidewalks, bathrooms, etc.

I’m not sure where that picture was taken. I was just in the foothills here. 😐

Sorry, Jules, I cheated a bit. That pic isn’t from my hike! I just scavanged it off the net. But all the pics in the next post were mine, I promise!

Sure thing, Ciera. 🙂

Scooter, there’s actually no math involved. No algebra, no trig, nothing. Just logic. 🙂

Hey, I’m bored here already!

TapDown was the best! I had that on my old PDA (a Visor) too.

Not to worry, Sarah. You can download programs to play them on your comp.

Global warming. 🙂
Yeah, I remember really big snow storms when I was a kid too.

Well, actually it happened in Dallas once. But that was because the city was so unprepared to handle that much ice. This is sort of a fluke here, as the roads weren’t bad and well-plowed.

Flaming Lips and the Search for Manhood
It’s all good, Ciera. The song itself is relevant to everyone. I just connect with it right now personally as a guy. 🙂

Same here. I like how you can pace the show to your own schedule.
Jules, why do you have to catch up to the series on TV? Season 2 will be out on DVD next year some time. No rush! Just don’t let that Tom spoil any big surprises for you. 🙂

Jules, just rent them. They are by far the best network drama I’ve seen… ever. Man, I can’t think of a better show I’ve every seen! (Don’t tell Carl, but it’s better than Serenity and beats Battlestar Galactica by a hair!)

Hojun, what are we blogging for? Isn’t this date night? 😮
» Posted By Rob On October 7, 2005 @ 8:02 pm
A movie night is already in the works. Having some neighbors coming over soon. But of course all my blogging friends are invited too!
For the parentals, don’t know yet… They’re kind of on a historical war kick lately. What do you think of Gladiator (too violent?) or Alamo? Oh wait, I got it! Master & Commander!

Singleness: disease or identity?
Nah, it was Carl’s homo-erotic comment that pretty much killed it.
Or maybe two singleness posts in one week is one too many.

Breckenridge Film Festival, 2005
That would be awesome! Come on, we’ll have a blast. 🙂

The times, they are a changin’. Hey, if it betters my chances with all you lovely ladies (Carl excluded), why not?!

Mmm, truer words never spoken, bro. Good stuff.
(I still say I’m right and Hojun is wrong! :P)

God specifically states that it was not good for man to be alone. That was pre-Fall. Companionship is a good thing.

What is commitment, but a choice? Daily, choosing to die to self. I’m not sure what it is you’re disagreeing with.
Notice I never mentioned the word “guarantee.”

Hojun4, if you really believe God wants singleness for you, why haven’t you quit dating?
How do you know for sure that God hasn’t placed in you the desire for a mate, rather than the other way around?
Something reader Jules said a while back was that what mattered the most about a couple’s bond was the sense of “ownership” between them. I.e., it’s not ultimately important that her husband has all those qualities, but that he is hers. He chose her, and she him. The volition in their bond forms the commitment between them.

Well, sometimes it can be hard to live singly too, Angela. But yes, the dating part sucks too!

I feel I should try to clarify some of my motives behind the Moratorium. First of all, as I’m sure is the case with all of the singles that have posted here already, I do hope to find a spouse some day. But to borrow from Sarah’s fine list (oh, how I love the enumerated/bulleted list!):
1. I most definitely have a specific goal in mind here.
2. I have a rough idea on the ending time, but it’s tightly related to #1 and when that could have some sort of fruition. The trouble is, character development is kind of a life long quest, so perhaps I should rethink #2.
3. I definitely feel that focusing on other things for a while (still indeterminate) would be healthy for me.And this whole endeavor is most certainly not for a kind of badge of honor. Quite the opposite, actually. Most of the time, shyness gives me a sense of shame. I think the Moratorium is an effort to relieve the shame for a season, until the character is built back up.
Yikes, the skeletons are out of the closet now, huh?!

Platonic friends? Yes. Always a good thing. How strongly do I feel about this? Hmm, not sure. I think you saw through my venting, Sarah. This post was a little tongue-in-cheek, and maybe a lot cynical.
However, the Moratorium itself was a real concept, however weakly and improperly implemented on my part. My buddy Jeff’s the one that suggested it. Perhaps I should give him the benefit of rebuttal. 🙂 Jeff?
Anna, I’d be interested to know how women’s agendas in dating are different from men’s. I mean, besides the obvious, and avoiding stereotypes of male libido, can’t both men and women have the same goals in mind? Or am I misunderstanding entirely?
(psst, hey Mom, that’s where that book reference came from!)

Me thinks you’ve turned Scottish!

Oops, sorry, Jimmy. I guess I was projecting my poor memory onto you.
» Posted By Rob On September 24, 2005 @ 4:46 pm
Julie already knew, and she prolly told Jimmy (her hubby). Carl and Mary were MIA. So, I guess you win the grand prize! Although… hmm, not sure what that is. 😐
