<DIV>David Brooks shares:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> I would explain my high productivity by my desperate loneliness</DIV>
<DIV>> and my pathetic sadness that causes me work to extreme
lengths<BR>> to fill the hollow void that is my life.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ouch, poor guy. It's startling how forthright he is with this
declaration, though. Reminds me of the Coupling episode where
Jane slips into describing herself while obsessing about the neighbor
she is currently spying on, and says:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> Sometimes I look at him sitting there waiting. And
sometimes</DIV>
<DIV>> I can almost hear the terrible voices of his inner
torments,<BR>> echoing up from the great black emptiness of his
heart. 'I'm<BR>> alone. Nobody wants me. I'm a sad, boring
little person who<BR>> has to be <STRONG>the</STRONG> <STRONG>center of
attention every second of the day just</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>> <STRONG>to drown out the screaming choirs of my own insanity,
and</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>> <STRONG>I'll never find a man of my own!</STRONG>'</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> ...</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> Oh my god. Do you think he's gay!?</DIV>
