Hi. My name is Jake, and I am the product of growing up privileged and lacking ambition.

The recession claimed another victim last Saturday. I have now joined the ever increasing club 22.5 million Americans are in right now: the unemployed… Well technically, that’s not true. I work full time at Ground Pati now. So, I guess I’m not unemployed. But

Which Orlando? I can't keep track of America, there's too many places with the same name.

By the way, massive massive props on accepting being happy in the crappier-but-better job. Very good decision I think. Even if it is only short term until you move.

Orlando, Florida. It's right smack dab in the middle of the boot shaped state. Disneyworld, Universal Studios..

There's also a line in a Smith's song that says:

"There's a club, if you'd like to go.
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own.
And you leave on your own.
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die"

You can't let the chance of failure keep you from even attempting. I learned that a while ago, although it sure is easier in words than in practice.

Regardless, I think it's good you're taking chances because as little as I want to admit it, we're getting old. Not like "roll out the wheel chair, grandpas coming over" old, but living the "spontaneous lifestyle" is becoming harder with each passing day.

"You can't let the chance of failure keep you from even attempting."

That's exactly my point, which is why I basically threw myself out there, although as the days go by, it's becoming more apparent that the feelings are not reciprical, which is fine. At least I know, and I did it in a way that I'm not embarassed about. I have the ability to shake it off so not to come off as clingy or insecure.

It just.. sucks.. because coming across a girl who is both cute and has an attractive personality (to me) are rare.. more emphasis on the latter. Honestly, this is the first girl since Amanda that I was like, "Wow, I would like to date you."

P.S. I didn't know you listened to The Smiths.

Why pamper life's complexities when the leather runs smooth on the passenger's seat?
