Meet Jake...

Obviously my name's Jake. I'm 20-years-young and I live in the outskirts of Millstadt, IL. I'm currently going to school with the goal of being a college professor. My only issue seems to be that i am unsure with which major I want to go with. Though I have recently decided on going with a major in Literature.

My number one thing in my life, besides my girlfriend Lyss, is my music. I love almost any type of music if its properly placed but no matter what I'm always in the mood for my Metal. Slipknot is my favorite band and Avenged Sevenfold is a close second. I play Bass Guitar and enjoy doing Vocals primarily but I also occasionally play the Guitar, Piano/Keyboard, and, if my buddy Marc lets me behind his kit, drums.

I love my videogames they're a VERY CLOSE second to my music. My primary platform right now is Xbox 360. My  XBL Gamertag is "Jachai". No letters no numbers, pretty simple eh? I'm sure you've already deducted from my blog's background that I'm a fan of the Assassin's Creed series. Some other games or series of games I love are: Halo, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Fable, etc.

I love to read but whats more is that I love to write books. I've been working on a novel since I was 16 and its a slow going process. On the right side I opened  toolbar for some websites that I frequent. currently there's only one there but I'll be adding more. "The Forgotten Realms RP Site" is a role playing site where you can create a character and "be" that character you created. To put it simply, you write stories through a series of posts. Not only do I find this just simply fun but it helps me to keep my writing skills sharp. Any RPG fans especially Tabletop RPG fans should checck out the site.

I love to draw but I've realized that I can only draw Tattoos. I can't draw animals or humanoids. I designed the cross I have on my back and I'm currently working on tattoos that I plan on getting sometime soon.

  1. Jake, you have a variety of interests. What do you like to read? What type of novel are you writing? I started a novel back in 1994--but needless to say, it's still incomplete. Look forward to getting to know you in class.

  2. I'm currently trying to finish reading Stephen King's "Dark Tower Series" and John Flanagan's "Ranger's Apprentice Series". The book I'm writing is a fantasy novel. To get you a bit of an idea... Its something close to "The Lord of the Rings", lots of magic and mystery, one great big adventure, and of course the fate of the world is at stake. I too hope to learn and share with you. :)
