I started a little gelato shop. You know that ice cream like stuff they eat in Europe. It’s delicious actually. If only more people had come to try it. I had big plans; I was going to turn the little shop into a franchise. I’d be rich. I saw it now. I wouldn’t have to worry about working ever again. Well, that didn’t work out exactly the way I had wanted it. I found out that people don’t just come to your store because it’s there. You have to get them through the door.

So needless to say at this point, I failed. And boy I failed hard. I didn’t just lose my gelato shop. I lost all the time that I put into getting it together. I tried to make it work but I just couldn’t. I couldn’t keep living off nothing. I got this great idea to live in the shop to make money. That just scared people off even more.

I had no customers or money. I needed to find some money fast or I’d be eating gelato for the rest of my life. I looked online and found an auto pawn in Knoxville, Tennessee. An auto pawn doesn’t take your car he simply gives you a loan on your car title. It was so easy to do.

I’m getting really sick of gelato, I think I’m going to eat at that ice cream shop down the street.
