I don't know anyone remotely like this..honestly...do you?
"I may be 30, but I act 15. I am adrift in New York. I'm too clever by half for my own good. I live on puns and snide, sarcastic asides. I don't look too deeply into myself or anyone else — everyone else is boring or a phony anyway. . . . I hang out with my equally disconnected friends in many of the city's bars. I drink a lot, take recreational drugs, don't care about much except being clever. I recently broke up with my girlfriend, and while I am eager to have sex, which I do often given the zillions of available women in New York, the sex is not especially fulfilling, and emotions rarely enter the picture. I am deeply shallow. And I know it." (bookslut)

the last thing i wanna do is come off as soundin sappy. just related w/ the nyc dudes and their "deeply shallow" life. i'm not saying everybody is that way or that i'm no longer at least a little shallow now that i'm in a relationship. it's just that i've moved on past that kind of life and it's due in large part to being in a good relationship. but then, why am i explaining that to you on the net? why is everybody so liberated when it comes to disclosing intimate details to strangers in this arena? ok -i've digressed...

C-Dog,
Looks like a reader took you to task. Seriously, I think nearly everyone appreciates a good relationship but Tim has a point. When you win an academy award, then thank your lucky stars for meeting the best lady in the world and for her saving you from meaningless sex, laying on the couch, and wondering what it actually might be like to actually get up and do something.
