About Me

My name is Sam Jacob, I'm 30 years old and am originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area (a small small township 35 miles away to be exact). I am currently attending THE Ohio State University, after a 7 year hiatus from school, for special education. Music is a big part of my life, i love going to shows, and trying to play guitar. I also love sports (OH.....IO) football, baseball, & basketball mainly, but ill watch any sort of competition on TV. I've been known to spend the afternoon watching the World Strongman Competition, the Little League World Series, and even curling (if someone can win and lose i want to watch). I dont really play any sports, but i like to snowboard, and i have had a new urge to try kiteboarding (www.catchsomeair.us) even though i'm terrified of sharks. I've tried bungee jumping and skydiving, im not sure what it is, but i enjoy being scared to death, or at least nervous about the act that i am about to do. I also love to travel, Ive been all over the US and have been to Europe twice. My family is the most important thing in my life, in the end, they are all you have. Oh i almost forgot, i just got a new puppy, a doberman (my other one got hit by a car at the beginning of summer ): ) his name is cooper and is a wild and crazy guy!!! You can check him out in my pics (you better do it or he'll be pissed)I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
