Hello, World

My name is Jake Irvin and this is where I post the things I enjoy and write what is on my mind. I was born in the Antelope Valley, California, but am currently attending Syracuse University in upstate New York as a film student. If you want to get to know me, feel free to leave me a message! I am a friendly guy.

Seriously, Kid.

Learn some fucking manners. Here’s what you did wrong:

  1. Take a fucking shower. I could smell you before any of my other senses kicked in.
  2. If you’re going to approach a stranger, put out your cheap ass cigar.
  3. Don’t approach a stranger so obviously stoned. I don’t care if you’re into that, but it does show me how careless you are.
  4. INTRODUCE YOURSELF. Tell me your name and shake my fucking hand.
  5. Ask, “May I please have ride to the park?” rather than, “Common, just take me there.” Perhaps give me a convincing reason to waste my gas and time on you.
  6. When i said, “no” ask politely one more time. If I’m still uninterested, be a man, stop wining, and let it go.

If there’s any thing that irritates me, it’s improper manners. Imagine if he landed a job interview. “Common, just give it to me!” It won’t work, kid.

Rachel and I have a check-list of things to do.

It’s called “Jake and Rachel’s Adventure List!”
Here are some things on it:

  • Road trip to Vegas and see LOVE!
  • Go to a shooting range!
  • Learn to sail a boat!
  • Road trip to San Francisco to see Jeremy Dugas!
  • Host a dinner party!
  • DJ a party in costume!
  • Disneyland for Christmas!
  • Go to the zoo!
  • Hitch hike!
  • B-rated horror movie marathon!
  • Take a train somewhere!

And yes, everything on the list does have an exclamation mark after it.

The contents of my bag:

  • 1/4 bottle of rum
  • 1/4 bottle of vodka
  • condoms
  • sharpies

Add some drugs into the mix and I can have my very own Skins episode.
I had a nice night.

Okay, game plan/check list

Here we go. This upcoming week I have:

  • Wednesday - Oral TOK presentation
  • Friday - Biology Test
  • Weekend - Biology Lab; make sure my CAS forms are completely done
  • Monday - History essay test
  • Some time during the week - Oral commentary on a prescribed poem or except of a play.

My goal is to last to Spring Break and also to compose my film IA by the time school’s back in.

Challenge accepted.

Things I’m involved with / have to do

This is mostly just a note-to-self type deal. Just wanted to put it down somewhere.

  • Cross-Country (captain)
  • I.B.
  • Make films
  • C.A.S. (volunteer work which is ironically required for I.B.)
  • College Club
  • S.A.T. studying
  • A.C.T. studying
  • Subject Tests studying
  • College apps in general
  • Try to maintain a social life (which I seem to be failing at)

I’m debating whether or not I’m doing Track again. I don’t really want to, but I’ve been doing it for 3 years now, so I feel like I will be abandoning the team if I do :l
