My name is Jacob Michael Richard Leroy Ira Brenneman and I am 18 years old. My birthday is April 4th, 1989...I love spending time with my beautiful girlfriend, Madey...I love playing sports just for fun: especially soccer, football, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, ping-pong, and any other sport that's fun...I love being active and getting involved in outdoor activities. I love rock-climbing, tree-climbing, hiking, biking, camping, star-gazing, sunset-watching, working out, jogging, and anything else that I can do with my free time...I love getting an adrenaline rush and will do just about anything if it won't kill me...I have a pretty wide imagination and like to show it by writing stories, poems, songs and by creating movies, ideas, and by making up stories to tell the little kids at my church...I love music---I used to love music for what I listened to and how it made me feel, now I love music for what I can make and how I can make it feel... I love being able to sit down at my piano and to be able to just feel myself being taken away by the music, sometimes I've nearly fallen asleep...I also like reading, sometimes to get away from the rest of the world, and sometimes to get closer to an idea of a better world. I've read many different books and series and would probably like to talk to you about any one of them...I've discovered that I really like discussing things that interest me and analyzing them for every piece of knowledge I can get from them. I like to learn and I've learned to like talking to people about their interests and their relationships and their problems. I try to be there for everyone and I like it when people confide in me and ask me for my advice. I like to help people out as much as I can...I always try to be honest---even if it hurts me, which it most definitely has before---because I've found that it is the best way to gain trust in people...I tolerate the people that mess around with me because, one, I know they're just joking and, two, if they weren't I know I could take them. I know a couple different martial arts but never have really had to use any of them. I'm definitely more of a peace-maker than a fighter and would never hurt anyone unless they were actually threatening me. It takes a LOT to piss me off...I am dating the most wonderful girl in the world and her name is Madelaine Hebert. :) I met her three years ago at Florida College Camp in Salem, Oregon where I knew her only as a friend of a friend. While trying to help her out with one of my friends, and spending tons of time with her, I fell in love with her. Just this last year at camp, I told her how I felt, she told me she felt the same way, and we haven't looked back since. She is more than I've ever asked for and I am sooo lucky to have her. Although, she lives 4 and half hours away in Springfield, Oregon, and it costs me a lot of money to see her once a month---sometimes only for hours---she is more than worth it... so much more... I've never felt so in touch with someone and so able to communicate with them as I have been with her. Where I have faults and mistakes, she fills the blanks. She's smart, she's beautiful, she's modest, she's honest, and every time I'm with her I can't help feeling like the luckiest guy in the world. She makes me warm when it's cold outside... :) Everything about her makes me smile and I can't help but get lost in her eyes. She always brings out the best in me and I can always seem to make her laugh. The memories we've had will never be forgot because they are always amazing, each and every one of them. I've never felt so close to someone in my life and I can't even imagine ever living without her. She's helped me grow as a person and to trust God so much more than ever before. She's exactly what I need and much more than what I've ever wanted. I could write about her forever and never be done... She is my best friend and I love her dearly...After high school I plan on going to college at the University of Oregon in Eugene, where I can be much closer to my babyyy... :) Right now, I want to be a pediatric dentist, or at least that's what my plans are. I would love to be an actor or a writer or a teacher but I also plan on having a family when I'm older and I want to make sure I can support a family. I think I will enjoy dentistry because I will be helping people, and I might even be able to work with kids, which I enjoy doing. I've wanted to be a dentist for some time now, pretty much all my life. When I was really young, I had a lot of dental work done on my teeth and my dentist wasn't the best at dealing with kids, or people for that matter. I told myself that if I were a dentist, I'd make sure people were comfortable and that they weren't afraid of me. I guess a bad experience motivated me to do something better?I believe in God and have dedicated my life to obeying Him. I believe that my morals reflect my belief and, because of that, I will not shove my religion down your throat. I will hope that my actions are a good enough witness for what I believe in.
