More than one person has commented that my profile says nothing about me, so I thought I'd make it easier for future perusers.
I'm a perpetual student; I'm working on a BFA in Painting & Drawing though I'd rather have a degree in Illustration. I'm a library aide while I'm waiting to graduate and/or my artwork to start earning me a living. ...more »

    Well, the group is about mentoring men; it about addressing EVERY concern of men. It is a new group, only a few days old, so the posts are what the men in the group have posted so far. I'd like your presence. I invited many men so the conversation would be vibrant. I want the conversation to take off into other areas. I need people like you who will post other concerns than those mentioned. Other than fatherhood, I've already gotten some conversation going about war. I've nudged another to talk about drug abuse and recovery. I've invited business men: hopefully, they will talk about business. You could have led us into expressions about art. I hope you didn't leave the group. And if you did, I hope you come back. The group NEEDS you.

    LOL

    My explanation on the variations of the spoken spanish language seem to be one of those "you had to be there" type thing... You're too funny.

    The Mexican folks (not all) may seem to speak slowly, on the other hand "we" the Ricans (not all) I''m sure just speak too fast. It's the same spanish (lol), about 95% - with the rest being a slight variation. tomato- tomatoe

    Uganda- there was a lot of gore, but then there are many horrors happening on that side of the world...

    I know there were a few problems with the "Dark Knight" but as you said, not major ones.

    I totally understand about responses, I have been incredibly busy and haven't been able to get on the site much myself.

    Be well.

    Thanks for joining Mentoring Men. We are thrilled to have you as a member. I hope you enjoy yourself and make many new friendships. I look forward to all of your contributions to the group and I hope you find nuggets to take with you as well. If you haven't already, please stop by the Introduction thread and tell everyone about yourself. Please jump right into some on-going discussions and feel free to begin new ones.

    I like children storybooks as well. I find that they tell life lessons in a very simplistic way. Please browse through your books and if you find any that would be of value in mentoring men, please add them to our group We've Read book shelf and share the beneficial information you have gleaned from them. Welcome.

    Don't woory, I get what you mean. It ticks me off even further when they start making assumptions of the readers of the book like they know them. "They don't understand because their fifteen", or "they're not married", what does that have to do with anything? There are plenty of mature teens that understand the book and they are probably a lot more teens that are already married like Bella and Edward.

    Well Jack, I know nothing about you because you don't say much in your profile. However, your name speaks of "artist" and I thought you had a lot to express and that you do it well.

    You should most definitely read the host. It was incredible. The writing is much better than Twilight.

    Well, you finally read breaking dawn. Good for you! *laugh* I'm glad to read that you noticed how misused Jake was. Meyer essentially rewrote her canon to make this book work. And I find that unacceptable. As a J/B person, I went into this book realizing it wasn't going to go my way, but there were so many other options for her! Meyer could've done so many other things. This book was such a flop. *sigh*

    HOla:

    Most of south America, P.R., Cuba speak spanish with variations in it. We can certainly communicate with one another. Just some words mean something and to someone else it could mean a total different thing.

    Obviously the Spaniards speak the proper "kings" language. Similar to the British as opposed to American English. Just variations of the same thing.

    Most Mexicans speak with a drawl, similar to the southerners here in America. Not all though. They (for the most part) feel we speak too fast. We on the other hand feel we need to nudge them a little- get to the point... lol

    My kids are more "spanglish" than spanish. They mix it up. But they do understand it. Shame-shame.

    I saw "The Devil Wears Prada" when it first came out. I loved it. I also recently seen "The Last King of Scotland." The one based in Africa (Uganda?). It was ok. I expected more. Especially since when it first came out, Oprah said it was the "must see movie of the year." Blah Blah Blah It's ok. I didn't "not" like it, I just think it could've been better.

    Just yesterday I saw "The DarkKnight." The new batman movie. I think it's the best Batman movie yet. It doesn't compare to the others. I highliy recommend you seeing it. Loved every minute of it.

    I had started reading "When God was a Woman." But when packing for the eventual move, my daughter packed it away and it's in storage somewhere :(

    I recently started reading The Testament, but I'm loosing interest fast. I'll tell you more about it if and when I get back to it. lol

    The extended family (not the close family) do not visit the states. They're pretty much there for life. At least I haven't heard of anyone coming.

    How was "There will be Blood?

    Have a nice weekend.

    LOL Yes I am fluent in Spanish. My mom made sure we didn't forget our heritage. I have extended family there, but since they were not really close to begin with, we've lost touch over the years.

    The last time I went to P.Rico was back in '92. I went more often back then. But my children need to go and see where their mom came from. So we'll be planning a vacation soon enough.

    Ciao

    The book sounds like a good read. And I will once I'm settled with time to put into it.

    The Secret- not my cup of tea. That would be my mom's tea. lol

    Native Rican. Both parents. I arrived in the states when I was 8-9 yrs old. So I have been in the states most of my life.

    My mom arrived first and had already been here for about 4-5 years trying to making a place for us. While she was here (Chicago), we stayed with our maternal grandma. She sent most of her earnings to my grandma for our care.

    This seems so long ago...

    The childhood places I remember, have changed so much. It's hard to find the child in me when I'm in P.Rico. But they'll always be in my heart. Oh God- how cheesey was that! lol

    LOL You're too funny.

    I'm originally from the island of Puerto Rico. And totally interested in Europe. The old country and so forth. Puerto Rican's have Spanish, Swiss and French in their blood. Who knows what else as the island was captured by a few during our history.

    And just like Columbus "discovering" America, I'm sure these folks "discovered P.Rico" also. Never mind, there were people living there already. :)

    My mom and I don't read all the same books. But when I read a book that I really like, I get it for her. Most times she'll agree with me. Of couse I purchase books for her that I wouldn't be caught dead reading. lol She wants to read the book "The Secret." I guess this is a self knowledge type book. ughhh I haven't really heard any good reviews on it. But oh well...

    Overall, do you recommend "The Poisonwood Bible." Or is it a reading that should be postponed when one is "prepared" for such a reading endeavor (for lack of a better word).

    Don't worry about delay responses. I seldom get to the computer now that I'm working on the "not" new house.

    Ciao

    It /should/ be an autobiography since it is written in the first person all the way through, but she had some help writing it, which makes it a biography. But yea, she is the one talking throughout the book. Her awesome memory is actually only regarding her personal life/experiences, so school was actually a HUGE struggle for her. When the scientist tested her rote memory, she did very, very poorly. Her memory is autobiographical.

    It was such a good book. Highly recommend it. *thumbs up*

    Woman Who Can't Forget is nonfiction. She really has to live her life this way. And it most definitely takes it's toll. I mean, one of the stories in the book is how she can /still/ feel the hurt she felt as a child when she didn't get to go on a school field trip. That would be awful. I'm wrapping it up right now. Only like 4 more pages. :)

    I believe I'm currently on book 33. I'm reading "The Woman Who Can't Forget," which is a biography of a woman who literally cannot forget anything she see/hears/experiences. I only have a few pages left and then I'm moving on to "Tithe" by Holly Black. I am loving this book, though. So powerful. And I learned a lot about memory too. Wonderfully written.

    Yea, Breaking Dawn has inspired a lot of strong emotion, so I can understand why it is difficult to navigate the internet because of that. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think. :)
