ibreakdrumsticks · 06-21-2005, 01:57 AM

I want to challenge every man out there to honestly answer these challenging, character developing questions listed below. Don't be ashamed or embarassed of your answers. Before we can excel on to greatness or fufill our purpose we need to know ourselves intimately. Take your time answering the questions.

1. How do you behave when you are alone?

2. Often, what you spend your money on is a direct reflection of where your values are

place. What do your spending habits say about your values?

3. How much do you enjoy your own company? What do you enjoy most about being

alone by yourself?

4. What’s the hardest part of being alone with yourself? How have you handled being alone

in the past?

5. Can you write a letter or long paragragh and tell who you are without what you do?

6. Do you have a fair and objective sense of the intimacies of your character? What are they?

Why isn't Anyone writing? I guess there aren't any real men here.

1. I pretty much behave the same by myself as I do with others. Try to find humor even in the bad stuff along with talking to myself.

2. I spend money on political books, certain scifi/fantasy books, video games, and accessories.

3. I can tend to enjoy my own company. I know myself won't talk to others without my own permission and vice versa.

4. What's the hard part? I don't know if there is one.

5. Sorry, never done one before and I prefer others to tell me.

6. I definitely wouldn't know since I don't compare myself to others, I prefer others to tell me instead.

1. I either embrace or reject God.

2. Trivial, small wastes, until a major lump may be gone to the wind. It's a futility of mind I have, a subconscious indifference and depression in this way, and others.

3. Yes, sure, though now in a healthy way. Peace with the sadness.

4. The sin, temptation or just the suffering of it's cycle...also the seperation from God.

5. yes, be hard these days though

6. Do you have a fair and objective sense of the intimacies of your character? What are they? not sure what this means

1. How do you behave when you are alone?
Like I always do.

2. Often, what you spend your money on is a direct reflection of where your values are place. What do your spending habits say about your values?
I like to buy food so that must mean I am a human that eats stuff.

3. How much do you enjoy your own company? What do you enjoy most about being alone by yourself?
I like the privacy so I can relieve sexual tension and talk to myself.

4. What’s the hardest part of being alone with yourself? How have you handled being alone in the past?
What is so hard about being alone?

5. Can you write a letter or long paragragh and tell who you are without what you do?
Yeah, I am Mr. Wang. There.

6. Do you have a fair and objective sense of the intimacies of your character? What are they?
I am a sinner and stuff.

I'll do my best to answer this, but first I have two tiny comments. Firstly, you shouldn't incinuate that we are not "real men" because we didn't answer your post between 12:00 and 1:30 A.M. the same morning. Secondly, these questions are phrased in a complicated way so I apologise if I misunderstand the intended question.

1. How do you behave when you are alone?

I think that I act the same as I do when others are around, but I admit that it is harder to avoid certain temptations when I'm alone. I also talk to myself and sing in my car.

2. Often, what you spend your money on is a direct reflection of where your values are
place. What do your spending habits say about your values?

I save money alot. I spend money on clothes, music and food and gas. You tell me what that means, I haven't taken any psych classes. hehe

3. How much do you enjoy your own company? What do you enjoy most about being
alone by yourself?

I do enjoy my own company. I like to write and think alot, but I'm never really alone anyway. The Spirit speaks to my spirit alot when I'm alone.

4. What’s the hardest part of being alone with yourself? How have you handled being alone
in the past?

Like I said the temptation thing, cause there's no one to keep you accountable. But for me I'm a very relational guy. I like to be with other people. Sometimes when I'm the only one home I just jump in my car and go downtown to be around people.

5. Can you write a letter or long paragragh and tell who you are without what you do?

Yes......Oh! would you like me to? I'm the unique creation of the one true God. I am made in His image for the purpose of living in arelationship with Him and with the rest of His creatures (my Daddy's a relational guy too). I enjoy the company of others and love to make people laugh. I'm a lover AND a fighter. I could go on but I'll spare you all the details.

6. Do you have a fair and objective sense of the intimacies of your character? What are they?

[/quote]

Huh? wha...huh? I'll be happy to answer this one but you're gonna have to clarify.

Peace,
Josh

P.S. I like Mr.Wangs idea of a long paragraph.

I guess that explains why you didn't answer it yourself!

1. How do you behave when you are alone?

I’m calm. Usually reading (bible based stuff and car magazines), Going out in the field ministry , working on my car , skateboarding , playing video games. Yes in that order too.

2. Often, what you spend your money on is a direct reflection of where your values are

place. What do your spending habits say about your values?

Most of the time I donate my money (To the congregation , or to people on the streets that need it more then me), save it , and spend it on my car (if I need new parts).

3. How much do you enjoy your own company? What do you enjoy most about being

alone by yourself?

I don’t like it much.. I mean I like it cause I can get a grip load of stuff accomplished without my daughter or my wife home but in turn I get bored real fast.. I can only read , play a video game or work on my car so much before I get bored.. Usually when that happens I either go out and Skate board or try to go out in service.

4. What’s the hardest part of being alone with yourself? How have you handled being alone

in the past?

Trying not to get bored… That’s the hardest.. In that past I’d just leave the house/apartment and go do something.. Even if it’s just random drives on PCH.

5. Can you write a letter or long paragragh and tell who you are without what you do?

Yeah I can do that no sweat.

6. Do you have a fair and objective sense of the intimacies of your character? What are they?

I don’t get what you are trying to say.. I mean I think I know but I’m not for sure… Yes I’m super fair with people and with anything I tend to do… I never try to rip people off / take advantage of some.. I keep other peoples interests first (most of the time) and I like to be “intimate” with people… As in I like to get really really “close” to my friends that way I get the feeling that they really care and also the closer I get to someone the more I can “feel” for them and give more practical advice to them… I like getting to the point where I’m the person that “anyone can come up to and actually have that person listen to them and give caring advice” without that person feeling that I might blab off to someone else or give them crummy advice.. I wanna be that “GO TO GUY”… Hey so far I’ve been doing pretty good with it J

Haha...Abby!

ibreakdrumsticks · 06-23-2005, 02:56 PM

1. How do you behave when you are alone?

I tend to be a social person. When i am alone, I sleep or watch movies. But most of the time I pray and read God's Word and Christian books.

2. Often, what you spend your money on is a direct reflection of where your values are

place. What do your spending habits say about your values?

I spend my money on bills, and I buy a lot of Christian books and CD's. That shows me that I want to grow deeper in my relationship with the Lord.

3. How much do you enjoy your own company? What do you enjoy most about being
alone by yourself?

I do enjoy being by myself at times. For example, I used to go to the lake by myself and watch the sunset. It was so peaceful. I used to go fishing by myself a lot too.

4. What’s the hardest part of being alone with yourself? How have you handled being alone

in the past?

Probably not being able to develop my people skills.

5. Can you write a letter or long paragragh and tell who you are without what you do?

I can. But most guys here haven't so I am not.

6. Do you have a fair and objective sense of the intimacies of your character? What are they?

This question means is I know how much of my character I have developed. It means if I am aware of my strengths and weaknesses. It also means that I have a sense of what is going on around me and in my life. I know what risks to take and when to take them.
