farewell ballroom dancer

sad, sad news. ballroom dancer is ballroom dancer no more. he has decided to retire from the world of ballroom dance and now he's just jay.

for the longest time i didn't know jay's name and was embarrassed to ask because i should have known it but i must not have been paying attention when we were introduced. when i finally sleuthed his name from another pilates class regular, i was a little disappointed. 'jay' seemed such an unremarkable revelation after all the mystery surrounding ballroom dancer's name. and so i decided that ballroom dancer wasn't jay, but 'j' and came up with an assortment of names that 'j' might stand for, suiting one of his profession. javier, jorge, jacques, jasper, jerard... but all that is over now, and 'j' is just jay. although that doesn't make me think any less of him. (jay, if you ever happen to read this, please don't be offended). i'm just somehow sad that i no longer have a reason to frequently refer to someone as ballroom dancer.

p.s. if you haven't seen this movie, go rent it!
