With the new crops of old pictures of Jake popping up on IHJ, it causes a little stop and reflect moment.
Jake joined Salma on Earth Day, April 22, 2005. 
Not only did Jake wear all the outergear to keep him warm and toasty but he knew how to accessorize.
Check out this picture of Jake speaking to a reporter.
And Jake's short 'do was courtesy of post-Jarhead.
And on his finger two gold rings.
Then Jake pops up in New York May 1st, in a blue hoodie that matched his baby blues, he's sporting something new. 
No not that scarf tucked under the hood. The new ring he's sporting with the two he had on just 9 days before.
For months nothing was said about what this ring meant. But it was in press conference for BBM in Toronto, that he talks about it, as a black diamond engagement ring.
And who did he say he was engaged to? Himself.
Now it's funny how he gets an engagement ring back in April, the week of Austin's 25th birthday.
And it's not only Jake who gets ringed that year. Austin gets a ring in 2005 with a big blue stone that looks like a Larimar. 
And then there's Jake vacationing at a Dominican Republic (where it's the only place where Larimar exsists) exclusive Tortuga Bay resort.
Could it all be related?
Quite engaging, isn't it?

@TheNerdyBird Remember when I was an extra in a movie with Jake Gyllenhaal in 1999 and I had no idea who he was?

RIP Steve Jobs
How sad to read of the passing of Steve Jobs. What a genius.
I thank him for I-Tunes and the IPod. Talk about revolutionizing music. I cannot imagine being without my ITunes library and my Ipod.
I hope he did not suffer too long. 56 is so young - he didn't even get to enjoy retirement. Cancer continues to take so many people before their time. I cannot stand cancer.
Very sad about Steve Jobs. :-(
I love my IPod and my Imac Pro Laptop.
Great post, Special. Yes, Jake was very proud of that ring and wore it throughout that summer, including at the Chanel 2005 Costume Institute Gala and After Party on May 2. He also branished it at the 2005 Maui Film Festival in June. All part of the story of Jake trying to inch out of the closet and the guys wanting to push their relationship into the public sphere.
Jobs had pancreatic cancer which is one of most painful forms of cancer,with usually giving those about 6 months of life expectancy,12 months at most. Jobs beat that 6x over.
Jobs had a pancreatic transplant several years ago, which extended his life for over 6 years.
What he created will continue to influence the future of technology and how people interact and use it.
Jake was quite proud of his ring, just like Austin showing off his Big Blue.
And while I know that Jake said it was a black diamond, it always reminds me of amber.
With Austin wearing a blue stone like Jake's eyes, and that amber color that is predominate in Jake's ring and Austin's coloring you know if's almost like the guys have the other with them symbolically.
Wanted to follow up on Jobs for a second.
Jobs had a liver transplant too, but not many people knew that he had a pancreatic transplant as well.

Good catch about the eye color and rings matching. I think there is significance there. You know they'd be mesmerized by each others eyes.
So sad about Jobs. He was way too young. I am addicted to my iphone and now my ipad. We are ready to switch to Apple computers all because of him. He literally changed the world. I don't know anything about his family. They seemed to stay in the background. My heart goes out to them for their loss.
I didn't know about the pancreas transplant, just the liver.
Love this quote from a commencement speech Steve Jobs gave five years ago:
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Jake has a daring sense of humor as I think we all saw with his Reese/beard comment early in Reeke. Him talking about being engaged so coincidentally after beginning to wear that ring speaks is big.
I think just as big is Austin wearing Big Blue. Because of where that stone or rock comes from, which is the area where Tortuga is located, an extremely posh resort where Jake is said to have been. And as has been talked about on here before, that Tortuga is incredibly romantic. I mean...lol. Not only is it gorgeous and romantic - that place is totally isolated and exclusive. It has been written that you can stay there and never see or be seen by other guests.
Jake's not going to stay there alone. Who did he stay there with? And you look at the timing of Austin wearing his ring and M&M and Special have brilliantly and time painstakingly narrowed down the time when these guys had to have gotten engaged.
Nice work.

How romantic, the story of the rings. I'm sure the boys had hot man sex at that exclusive resort. Swooooon!
When you look at that resort, yeah, you could imagine. I mean, those suites/huts, whatever you want to call them, they are unbelievable. And they're just steps away from the ocean beach.
Morning everyone, I just have to thank you for all the fun Austin information. I feel guilty pirating pics to my folder and saving info without thanking you; cause you keep up with all things Austin.
I feel so naive waiting for him to get his bigbig break, if in fact he wants that for himself. I remember Jake saying that maybe he would direct and stop acting...who knows why he said that but it's not a bad career either, and it comes with so much more personal freedom, maybe.
Congratulations to Austin directing and moving on. I could be a Mom to both these boys and love them both...both great actors...one not so well known...Yet:)
My son and I watched the episode of Deadwood Ausin was in and we still talk about his transformation into a killer. It's imprinted on my mind forever. plus, he was absolutely the best actor...to me... on John in Cincinnati.
How did I miss Jake's rings? He wore those around the time we heard here that he was to make a personal revelation about himself and BBM...but then he never did. Oh well...I pray he is as happy as he can be...but I've never ever seen him as happy as he was before the paps snapped him @ the BB game with Austin...Never...Mom speaking here to OLD to not see way too much some days... I saved all those BB pics..even the sad pics of them...Life is a mess sometimes..
Rest in peace Steve, valiant warrior...now to stop posting take my pain pills and back to bed:)
My friends and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out whey Jake was holding back tears and Austin looks oh so pissed...the things ole ladies get up to can't be underestimated.
..
first pics happy
happy times
below pic caused my mates and I much speculation
sadtimes
Back to bed for a while...back to Austin gaze ...one day soon.
