Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:19 am  Been there before? Maybe in my mind perhaps.... maybe I'm still in that immature stage that wants to experience all of life's conflicts firsthand... The kind of religion that i studied sort of has all of its foundations in classical greek philosophy... (those greeks... not only were they queens, they were also great thinkers!) |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:20 am  Luke--I'll be here until you need to go. Geez, amybe in the valley, you have the edge?? By using your information and feelings, you will be where they are at in thought and motive way before they will!! maybe?? Not a bad thing to be able to do! byw, as Arreal and I have discussed, what do you think of doing this late night talk??? Could you imagine doing this with any success in the midle of what we were doing today?? Also, we have thought that it's a great way to end our day...what do you think..or feel!? |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:23 am  Excellent insight on the Greeks!! I think the same way about the Chinese!!! Warrior/philosopher is what Sun Tzu was---what a great job title!!! |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:24 am  I love late night conversations... that kinda describes the majority of my interactions with friends / guys throughout my college years... i'm going to try and frequent these boards every night this week... till my body clock begins to say "hit the sack" |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:29 am  Every once in awhile I look at when the folks outside post (the times). The only time I really am aware of them is when it's this time of night..there has always been posts by them as long as the late night talks go on!! I have no idea if they like them or if they are collecting the evidence to have me (and others) out away once we "come out". For all we know, this could be comedy to them, thinking back to what everyone gad to say about the HGs. |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:29 am  yeah... western civilization seemed to outshine a lot of the treasures of classical eastern culture... philosophy... music... arts... i see people getting into it nowadays, but with stuff like zen, yoga... new age stuff that barely scrapes the surface of such an ancient society that flourished for so long... |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:31 am  btw, on your comment about wanting to experience it all--unless a person is quite exceptional, there is no substitute for experience!!!! |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:34 am  yeah... i've noticed the numbers steadily increase... that's the only thing that keeps me wondering--the fact that i haven't heard anything so far through banners or websites... or even during last week's chat session (i hardly talked w/ anyone)... it's kinda been giving me a sense of security (most likely false) that i'll be the houseguest that'll fall into obscurity after we get outta here... hopefully with minimal postings about me on these boards... |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:37 am  Luke, with your background in philosophy, I pose this question to you that I though of because of your "ancient society" insight. Why is it that with as many great societies as there has been...as many civilizations, and as much as history seems to repeat itself...and how much we study all of that...why can't we (humans) learn form all the mistakes, and avoid making them time after time????????? What is it about us that we just keep doing what we're doing...and keep gettng what we're getting??? A parting thought to sleep on?? hehehe |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:38 am  Mmmmm I'm feeling the tiredness start to creep up on me... I guess tomorrow is the big chat session with all of us in the room... I wonder what our reward will be if we win this next challenge... |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:40 am  Reward??? The secrets of life??? We seem to be good at causing death! |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:44 am  well, that is definitely a question to sleep on... well, among the many contributing factors... perhaps one may be that we're so unwilling to admit when we're wrong... although to get from point a to point b in any life situation we need to learn and grow, we can also tend to be reluctant to that learning process and think that we already have all the answers... i see that happening in my office, in the churches where i work, among my friends... and even in this virtual house. I hate admitting when I'm wrong. It's embarrassing. but at least for me, when i refuse to admit that i'm wrong, i also close the opportunity for learning and growth...
 |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:46 am  But on that note, I think i'm gonna do my brief redroom commentary for the night and hit the sack... so all these people watching us can start posting their opinions on our discussions... Are you sticking around? You'll be in the chat tomorrow night, right? |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:46 am  You indicated you where tired and wanted to turn in..I will let you do that. I always walk away from these feeling very relaxed. I have greatly enjoyed our talk tonight. I hope you are able to join in on future ones!! |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:49 am  With everyone gone, I'll probably turn in..I should be at work at about 7:30. This is the earliest I've stopped in a week. Wait, that 1:30 night was! I'll be in chat---I was dizzy from the last one! |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:50 am  Yeah... you can definitely count on more of these LNC's (late night convo's...) I like chatting w/ you too... You know, it's kinda fun to imagine what all of you look like... well, those who haven't posted any pictures... Especially when al you have to go on are conversations and insights into their personalities... and no physical characteristics at all! That's why I would love to meet all of you someday.... and have all of you hear me say, "Oh my God! I totally imagined you to look like..........." |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:53 am  LOL!!! Have a good night--what's left of it. 14 more days of LNC---I'm looking forward to it. See you today Luke!!!! |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 01:55 am  ¡Qué pases muy buenas noches, amigo mío! |
Roger_Ramjet | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 02:06 am  <<getting out of the hot tub after a great talk with Luke, I am thinking about the future of humanity...talking to myself, as I head off to bed for a few hours>> "A hundred years from now it will not matter what my back account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different beacuse I was important in the life of a child." If the human race is to survive........ |
Xenia | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 02:17 am  Hey you guys...I just wanted to leave a quick post to apologize for not being around for the challenge. Yet again, it was an obvious answer that I wouldn't have gotten. Congratulations guys! |
Moondance | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 10:39 am  Xenia ... missed having you around ... hope all is well A BIG thank you for fascinating late night convo ... I enjoyed reading it! I have such high regard for both of you! Good Morning Everyone! |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 10:41 am  Good Morning Moondance, Xenia... I'm online all day long (well, except for lunchtime and bathroom breaks)... Just waiting for someone to show up... Looks like the mood is pretty good in here right now! |
Moondance | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 10:45 am  Hey you... I just chased you down in the living room... want to meet me there |
Luke | Monday, October 16, 2000 - 10:46 am  Living room it is! |
