Get to know Jake in 25 ways!

Get to know Jake in 25 different ways.

1. I believe in love above all things. After love I believe in Truth and Freedom.

2. Change is the only thing you can count on in this life. Once I accepted that my life has become a breeze.

3. I've written four novels, none of which. I can seem to go back thru and finish it all up and make it nice and flowing. Someday... alas... someday. I am currently working on my fifth.

4. Bob Dylan and Gandhi are two of my Idols...

5. My belief in the good in people and humanity is what makes me wake up every morning and the reason I stay in society and don't move into the wilderness. The world gets to me and I would love to go live in the beauty of nature but then I look around and I see the same universal energy in people and this world around me and it makes me happy.

6. All I want to do with my life is be there for others. I think there is no higher purpose.

7. This is my favorite quote "There is beauty is pathless woods, there is rapture on a lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea and the music in it's roar. I love man not the less, but nature more" H.D.T

8. I have a huge family all of whom I love deeply. My friends mean the world to me and I couldn't ask for better ones.

9. There.. is something so deep inside of me that I almost can't handle it. I want to stand up and speak, for words hold more power than any weapon, to huge crowds and try to help this world progress. I want to be like Gandhi or MLK. I want to stop racism and homophobia. I want to destroy religions and from their rubble build.. then back up with just the good things about them, hope, love and faith. It's not that I want to be famous or an icon but I would gladly take the bullet that they took if I got to say something that mattered, something that helped change the world.

10. I realize that anyone CAN change the world just by smiling at a stranger.

11. My life isn't my own, for I will love someone someday with so much of my heart it almost hurts. It belongs to him, and if he really is the one for me, him and I will give our combined love to humanity.

12. I'm one of the three percent that overcame a drug addiction.

13. I despise wealth

14. I am a Tolstoyian.

15. Angel from Montgomery.. is currently my favorite song.

16. I love Kate and her adorable Kids.

17. I want to move to Seattle or Oregon for my masters degree. I love the rain and the culture. Then I will come back to my family and watch my nieces and nephews grow up.

18. I only paint abstractly and I only write in the flow of conscientious

19. I love the French, The French culture and I think it is the most beautiful language. I read poetry in French with no idea what it means, but it is beautiful.

20. I have been a vegetarian for 12 years. I am 24

21. That is also when I left the LDS church.

22. I am an open book and believe in a strict moral code. The main no's on my list 1. Intoxication causing heedlessness. 2. Taking what is not yours... 3. Sexual misconduct 4. False speech and the main main main one is 5. Harming ANY living being.

23. I truly believe that a Utopia is possible. I wish I could say that I wish my life would be long enough to see it happen (haha I would.. be so old) But, to be honest I'd rather be one of the people that helped found it and all that takes is to believe in love and emanate it.

24. For how whimsical I live my life I think it is funny. I have the same routine every morning. Wake up, make a cup of tea, smoke a cigarette, work out, and spend the rest of my day writing, looking for work or simply taking it easy, work out again, drink some chamomile and go to bed.

25. My favorite book is Jonathan Livingston.. Seagull. Movie: Into the wild Food: Vegetarian Sushi. Animal: My best friend, my dog, Tuckett. Thing about the world: I get my faith in humanity re-affirmed almost daily by a stranger or a friend. Random: I love talking to homeless people and giving them whatever I have. Also, I do love High School Musical. Favorite favorite thing..... I bet you can guess.....

It's Love.
