My Bio
Hey there, my name is Jake.
Listening and discussing with people is something that I enjoy, there is a lot one can learn from a person by a heartfelt conversation of various topics and it is nice to feel that bond after a prolonged 3 hour conversation over dinner or lunch. Which yes, food. Such joy is brought to me while consuming food. Specifically, eating smoked salmon and cabbage makes me happy. It is true that I am a bit of a tea snob, Black tea is my favorite because of the slight bitterness and potency of taste. Surprisingly I'm not fat, no, I'm a fat man stuck an athletic body. ^^ I'm lazy, but pretty active with physical activities. I used to practice martial arts (Taekwondo, Hapkido, Muy Thai, Brazilian Juijitsu, and Boxing) everyday and have been learning for a good 7-10 years now. I also have been training Parkour about 2-3 years. Keeping the body strong allows you to keep your mind strong (and vice versa). For education I attended Norwalk Community College double majoring in Psychology and Sociology for my Associates degree. I am now going to Southern Connecticut University majoring in Psychology en-lieu of getting my BA in developmental neuropsychology. On my free time I usually just chill with friends and play Starcraft or any table top RPG! Reading and writing poetry is a hobby of mine which I got into in Sophomore year of high school.
The most notable thing about me is my profession. I am a certified hypnotist. I've been learning for about two years now and my abilities as The Hypnotist have skyrocketed. Hypnosis is really entertaining when I am doing a stage show or on the streets preforming, but I enjoy helping my clients with hypnotherapy. The insight and guidance I can bring to others to see how they can be disconnected from limitations is what really drives me.
But all of that stuff is something I identify with. Through and through I'm Jake. I'd say my best quality is that I am a good listener and able to give completely honest judgement or advice. I am not the first person one will come to talk to, but I will always be there for anyone in need. Inversely, my vice is that I fear too much that I'll disappoint my loved ones. I'm introverted and prefer to watch from the sidelines with a couple of close friends rather than have a large group of associates.

Been a while since I updated my journal. I'm not gone, just mentally absent. Couple of things:
* October 1st - Going to London to get certified as a hypnotist. After that, I will get into therapy.
* I got new streaming software and you can watch me play Starcraft and League of Legends, teach hypnosis, recite poetry, and randomly talk about things.
Justin.tv/Dysaxiom (Hope to see you there. I stream randomly so check if I'm on or not.)
* I've stepped up my training in parkour after a long absent of lazing. Been doing well.
* Learning ventriloquism as well. (A hypnotist AND ventriloquist. You are not safe. No one is safe)

I guess that I'm done..

I know there is very little of those who watch me, less that even comment and favorite. I'm not so concerned with that, though because the problem lays with my inability to express myself through poems anymore.
It seems odd.. I've never constructed a poem unless it just came into existence, so how can I be sure if I'm not going to write poetry anymore?
Simple.
I'm not going to write poems. I won't pick up a pen or pencil, nor type.
I'm done with it. I don't have the heart to write anymore.
I'm not sure if I will go inactive or delete my account, all I know is that I'm done with my creative musings.
Thank for all of those who has read, c

Thanksgiving..
0 min read
There are 3 holidays that I highly enjoy. Those would be Rosh Hashanah, Valentine's Day, and Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving for me is like a personal Valentine's Day. It is a special single day where I can pour my heart into everything I say and do. A day where I can say, "I know I am hard to live with, but I want to let you know that I am truly grateful to know you and I hope I can continue to do so".
I remember last Thanksgiving.. Time flies by.. It only gets quicker.. Looking back a year always astonishes me.
What has changed? What has persisted?
There are a lot of things that I can say I'm proud of, but it always seems less satisfying to

So, I've decided it's been awhile again 
Shit, I'm sorry that I haven't messaged you in a while (even though I said I would). I've.. I've been busy and I'm not just saying that! Hypnosis and classes.. And Starcraft... And Parkour... And poetry...
So, yes! How are you? (You go first, I need to collect my thoughts first!)
So, yes! How are you? (You go first, I need to collect my thoughts first!)
Haha, no worries, I'm at fault too....
Hmmmm....... Well I'm trying to remember where my life was back when we last talked, which I believe was Christmas....haha it really has been awhile....
Well for pretty much all of Janurary I was pretty sick, and had an ear infection(granted my ears have never been too great).
Ummm I also quit my job... I was getting behind on my schoolwork, and frankly, my manager was a bitch, excuse my French.
I have my artwork in an art show starting next week and runs through April... Annnndddddddddddddd that's pretty much it for at.
Personally, I've let lose a bit, decided I'd be more adventurous(not that I'm not already adventurous... I get myself in trouble too often...); let myself slack on the hardcore studying. So pretty much relaxing more. My mental state is as good as ever, and I recently love to meditate. I feel the most calm and happy I've ever felt. Hardships hit, but nothing really gets me down lately!!! It's refreshing to be completely and utterly content with myself and my life. I feel like I can do anything I want, with limits of course, but hell, I java road of opportunities to embrace!
I was grounded for the first time in my young sixteen years of life last night!! It was super exciting actually( although telling my mother that would make her even angrier...). I felt my own age for once, not like someone older than their physical age! Although I don't think either of us truly know what to do now that I'm grounded....haha anyways....haha my cat's winking at me
That's pretty much everything I can think of...OH SPRING BREAK IS IN TWO WEEKS, YEAH BAYBAHHHH

It's been that long? Time flies, I don't know why I'm surprised, but it always has that effect on my mind.
Things for me have been good, but slow. I've been reading up and still practicing hypnosis. I am trying to get into helping those with psychological trauma, particularly those that have PTSD and victims of rape. I've been modifying a lot of cognitive-behavioral therapies and psychosensory therapies to effect in conjunction with hypnotic processes. So, far, I think I've been making some important breakthroughs.
That is exciting! Having you artwork able to be adored by many! I wish I was there to see it. Haha~ (seriously, I do). That is very awesome, Shaye. You should be proud!
I can understand why you would want to quit, probably for the best too. There is no sense in having to maintain a job that you don't enjoy, plus school first, yeah? Do you think you will be looking for another job in the near future or is the attention upon schoolwork at the moment?
And hey, releasing some pressure and stress is great! Especially by meditation, which I agree is very placid. It is good that you are doing so well. And remember, you can do whatever the hell you want, you have no limitations. Reach out and "carpe diem" as they say! Grounded?! Bad girl! You should know bett-.. Ah, who the hell I am kidding? Rules are meant to be broken now and again. (Fuck da' po-lice) >:3 How did you get grounded, well, I mean what did you do to get grounded?
Spring break, son! Mine starts March 25!
Seriously, I am so glad when spring hits because then I can start training more again! To be honest, I've gotten out of shape and I want to really get back into being healthy. I've started eating right again and I've been doing a lot of bodyweight conditioning and running more. I hope to be able to break my best cross country time since high school and generally have fun with learning flips.
Mmm.. Birthday is coming up soon, but that has never been notable thing for me..
I just finished mid-terms which was laughably easy. Sometimes I feel like I could be an intellectual genius if I cultivated my mind more seriously. I know that sounds pompous of me, but I just.. I mean the classes I take isn't easy stuff. My mum and dad took the same classes when they were in medical school and they had to study hours upon hours to get to the 90th percentile, and yet, here I am practically sleeping through these classes spending no more than 3 hours a week studying.. I don't know.. Maybe it is just because it is something I like doing and it just clicks.
Is there anything else....? Mmm..... Cats, hotdogs, zeppelins, markets, loot, vampires.....
Nope, I am trying to think.
Ah! Yes.
I was asked to participate in a board meeting at Yale University for one of their human sexuality research and awareness institutes. They want me to take an active role helping some people understand and research asexuality and romantic attraction. Normally, I'd say no, but I've gotten more active in being a spokesperson for the asexual community, plus what they are doing is good and I hope what I have to say and do will help someone else. Social change, what are you going to do, you know?
Other than that I've now gotten a significant other. Haha~ The same girl I've talked about before. Honestly, it is more "spiritual" than romantic.. Like a really really intensely deep platonic relationship. And while we aren't that big in calling each other "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" there is an emotional potency in knowing that we've reserved ourselves for each other. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. Looking back when I was in high school, I thought I didn't need love or should ever care about a relationship. Now that I see what it means, the happiness it can bring. I want to go back and slap myself in the face and say, "Hey, you're some sort of stupid. Grow up and look at the deeper things in life. Stop being so pessimistic. You think society is limiting you and so you have to be cold to everyone else? Nah, society MADE you like that, you are playing exactly into what it wants. You are the puppet, you just don't know it yet."

hey there, stranger...haven't talked to you in a long time...or at least it feels like a long time, how's it been going?
Not bad, in-fact compared to what could have been I would say "very good". I honestly have just been making preparations for England, really stepped up my freerunning training, and working with more clients. I'm also been invited to speak as a panelist on behalf of the asexual community for an Human Sexuality seminar at a college (which I am slightly nervous about, but it should be fine) so that is on some upcoming Tuesday.
And really that is it. The storm didn't hit my town too badly. Walk few towns down such as Fairfield, Milford, or Lordship and... Well, like I said, I am very good.
How about you? Anything interesting happened since last time we spoke?

hmmm, the last time we "spoke" I think everything was okay, I fell into a little slump over that time, I'm back in with my therapist, my mom's getting married, hmmm...otherwise I'm pretty good. I've been doing better than a few weeks ago anyways.
Congrats on the speaking thingy...sorry I guess it would just be a speech... sorry to hear about the hurricane, I have a cousin up in New York right now, we haven't been able to talk to her recently, but she's okay.
I know you mentioned London a while ago, but still...London!! That's so cool. I've never been out of the country before, so it just sounds great!!!
Got my job at Starbucks, finally. I start next Wednesday.
