Hola!

So, after at least five different (failing) attempts at creating and keeping a blog, I have finally decided to start over. Welcome to the Blogger blog!

I guess I could tell you a little about myself. From the title, you gather my name is Jake. Hooray; you get a gold star. Hopefully you know something else about me. Otherwise, you are a stalker, and that's pretty creepy. In case you have forgotten, here some other things about me:
  • I go to Mississippi State University where I am studying to become a meteorologist (weather man).
  • My shoe size is 10.
  • I love theater and many things about it, particularly backend things: lighting, sound, video production, stage management, etc.
  • One of my favorite daily rituals is reading My Life Is Average.
  • I love God. While I could put some cool cliche phrase here, I'll just tell the truth. He is amazing. While I manage to screw up all the time, He remains perfect and constantly forgives me. Without Him I would have no reason to live. And who wants to wander around this world with no purpose?
  • Strawberry cheesecake is simply amazing.
  • I have a very analytical and visual mind. Things that most people wouldn't recognize, I recognize, such as: hidden cameras, the use of ` (a grave accent) instead of ' (an apostrophe) and - (a hyphen), – (an en dash), and — (an em dash), the keyboard shortcut for the copyright symbol (© = Alt + 0169), and many other menial things.
  • I like to think of myself as being rather optimistic, however, it could be the other way around. I try to be as friendly as I can to everyone (note the italics on try).
  • My favorite type of bottled water is Market Pantry (Target brand). Since I can't get that in Starkville, I usually buy Dasani.
So, there you have it. Hopefully, this gives you a brief glimpse into my very random mind. Just ask my friends. I can give you a random fact about just about anything, thanks to my volumes of Uncle John's Bathroom Readers and Ultimate Books of Useless Information.
