Jorge Garcia

So two nights ago I'm up late, and  decide to watch the Food Network. Ace of Cakes is on and it's a  special where the cast is flown out to Hawaii to make a cake for the cast of Lost.

Jorge Garcia (Hurley) comes in to help them and for whatever reason I decide to google his name. Anyways... I come across his blog, "dispatches from the island." I read it, enjoy it, and come back to read it for the next two days. 

Before I jump to the point of this first blog, I want to let anyone who is reading this know a few things.  I'm 22, live in Syracuse NY, just graduated from WVU with a degree in PR and Business Administration, and have no fucking clue where to go from here. I'm torn between what I'm supposed to do, what I think I want to do, and what everyone else thinks I should do. Do I play it safe or do I live adventurous? I have my whole life ahead of me and I know that no matter what course I choose, I will live with regret.

Now that I've vented about some of my inner conflicts, I'll cut to the chase. Jorge Garcia, someday you will google your name and this will come up. I don't know why I'm even typing this or why I believe this might work, but I'm here and I'm still pressing the keys. E-mail me or maybe call. I don't even know what to tell you. You've motivated me to write this blog and now I'm waiting for the next big thing, my next course of action, my plan, my escape, my anything that isn't in Upstate New York. 

I know it's a long shot if it's even that, but what have I got to lose? I'm just an unemployed 22 year old with a college degree and no real plan, just a mixed up idea of what I think I should do. So Jorge, this first entry is devoted to you, thanks for the inspiration, at least now I have an outlet for my thoughts. Who knows, maybe you'll be moved by this entry and feel compelled to get in touch with me.

I think I believe in destiny and fate, and I know that there is so much I will never understand, and I believe in something, a god, a power, an energy... I mean, don't we have to? Isn't it in our nature? If we can't understand don't we have to wonder? Well someday I hope I'll have a better idea. Until then, goodnight Jorge and thanks again.
