		<description>@ grampa: Totally with you on the &quot;if I don’t go, I’ll be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life wondering &#039;what if&#039; stuff.&quot;

@ Danielle: Will def give it a read. Thanks for the link.

@ Andrew: Wow. THANK YOU for the comment. And, by the way, I sooo don&#039;t think you&#039;ve given up on the creative stuff. I&#039;ve got a good blog, and I remember reading some of your NaNoWriMo (sp?) stuff. It was good.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t have much to add beyond what the people above me have already written. They&#039;re wiser and better-spoken than I am, so I&#039;d take their words of encouragement to heart.

I will say this. You are an incredibly talented, smart, funny, vibrant individual.

More importantly, when I lost my last job (the same time you lost one of yours), you were there with words of encouragement that meant the world to me.

So here&#039;s a little note encouraging you to keep going and to chase those dreams. Somewhere along the way, I sacrificed every creative impulse, every passion, every dream I ever had for three cubicle walls, a steady paycheck and health insurance.

I&#039;m not sure, but I think that the greatest conspiracy that&#039;s ever been pulled off was the one that convinced 90 percent of the population that this is the &quot;adult&quot; decision to make.

Bullshit.

Not a day goes by that I don&#039;t regret how I didn&#039;t even give my creative endeavours a chance to come to fruition. I&#039;ll always wonder.

Don&#039;t you do the same.</description>

		<description>Oh, yes, I&#039;ll miss it.  It was tearing my heart apart, the wanting to stay and needing to go.  However, if I don&#039;t go, I&#039;ll be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life wondering &quot;what if&quot;.

So, even if I fail spectacularly, I have to try.

And, if I do fail, I&#039;m just gonna move back here, marry a little Filipino girl and become a truck driver.

Even my back up plan sounds good.</description>

		<description># grampa: Good on you for going for what you want. Hawai&#039;i is BEAUTIFUL. Won&#039;t you miss it if you leave.

# Baba Doodlius: You said, &quot;In the mean time, go do some orgasm experimentation and get it written about in a major newsstand publication… oh, I see you have that covered already.&quot; Thanks! :) You&#039;re funny; point taken. :) And, yeeeeah, I just noticed that ad. GoogleAdsense automatically generates the (real) ads based on the content of my site. Apparently posting content about losing a job in NYC yields sugar daddy ads! Will look into that to see if I can get those off.

# Shanshilly: Thank you!! And, yeah, that&#039;s totally how I&#039;m looking at it. This is the bump in the road, the to-be-expected short difficulties associated with losing a job.</description>

		<description>YOU HAVE LEAD AN AMAZING LIFE!! In a short time you have done so many things that most of us could not have imagined. I am sure that this is just a bump in the road for you.  You will continue to do amazing things. Wow!</description>

		<description>By the by, are you aware of what gets advertized on your blog?  As I type this, the major ad is for &quot;seekingmillionaire.com&quot;, with a picture of a middle-aged guy in a suit giving a gift to some young blonde chick, with the tag line &quot;Always FREE for beautiful girls&quot;.  Is this for real, or is it some Spitzer-related joke web site?</description>

		<description>I leave town for a couple days and BLAM, crap happens.  Sorry to hear about your upcoming state of employ, but I&#039;m sure you will be back in the rat race like the rest of us shortly.  In the mean time, go do some orgasm experimentation and get it written about in a major newsstand publication... oh, I see you have that covered already.</description>
