Well this weekend was simply unbelievable! I went on Search from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. It is like a church retreat only we stayed at a resortin the mountains of Colorado. I can’t even describe what I got from that; it was just way too incredible. So yeah, if any of you get a chance to do the same DO IT! You’ll never regret it! I also made a new friend named Sara. She’s sucha wonderful and beautiful young woman. She got married over Spring Break to a guy in Germany! How cool is that?!?! Me and her spent a lot of time together over Search; I was kind of her knight escort for the weekend. The sidewalks were really slick and so I walked her everywhere and I always made sure she got to where she needed to go. She was delightful company and it was great to actually devote my duties to a single person for a few days. I hope I have the opportunity to do it again! She thought it was awesome that I was a knight, especially since the name Sara comes from Sarah, which is the ancient Egyptian word for “princess.”
So yeah, if ever you want a loyal escort ring me up. I work for food! Hehe. Yeah, what a life I lead. I’m glad she wasn’t weirded out by me or anything; some people I’ve met in my life think I am very odd because of the fact I try and follow a code of chivalry in my daily life and a few potential friends have been frightened away by it. I’ve even had one person tell me that my honor was too much and though this person was my best friend it still kinda hurt. I never thought honor could be too much unless it took presidence over doing what was moral and just. In this instance she was talking about bribing a competing group into losing so our school would win and I merely said, “What would be the honor in victory then?” Oh well. I survived. Well that was my weekend, I hope all of yours were equally wonderful and I also hope you all have a great week! Love you all!

sounds like you had a great weekend! Hopefully, people realize chivalry shouldn’t die away, but be welcomed compared to the unromantic pursuit of ladies and that they should be treated with the utmost respect, but it prolly will be a long way in coming…
Boy, Jakey, you are just wowing the ladies right and left out there in Wyoming…yikes. Does that mean you are going to stay out there in Wyoming and not come back to Iowa? That would not be cool…anyway, hope you had a good spring break-sorry I didn’t get to see you since our break was later than everyone else’s, but perhaps after school is out. I am glad you are having a good time and you are knighted…that is cool…
A resort sounds really good right about now! I’m stressed about school. Sounds like it was fun
I’m not throwing the ladies anywhere! It’d be the same in Iowa; I’d just be myself like I always try to be. Just because I make new lady friends out here doesn’t mean I’m going to abandon everyone back home! But thanks for your concern hehe. Anyways, the only thing that might convince me to stay here for a while longer would be either a huge career opportunity or a girlfriend/wife or something. So yeah, don’t worry about me never coming back to see you!
i wouldn’t live my life any other way than through stanzas and verse…… what can i say? being a hopless romantic leads me to always expect suprises…. i love it.
Yeah I’m the hopeless type too but few times have I ever received any surprises from being so. Well, not any PLEASANT ones anyways. You’re lucky!
Hey buddy, don’t give up hope yet!! I got a ring on my finger that says I still have hope, even after everything! You’re only 19, give it some time…and patience too…someone will come along when you least expect them….
So you are from Wyoming huh? Where do you go to college? Laramie I am assuming? I am from Wyoming.
Great site…chivalry is a nice quality, even if it does intimidate. Chicks dig it.
Right on. I go to UW a lot to visit my friends down there. I am attending Casper College right now.
I’ll add you to my list as well.
