Being A Dependent

I apologise that my Sunday post was delayed to Monday. Part of the issue was that I spent my Sunday night watching Entourage on DVD (thanks Boges!). It's a funny concept, one guy gets famous and his friends are basking in his limelight. There's a lot of cheap calls in this series, and a ton of hot women!

What I thought interest was for the guys who are his friends. They are basically living off his successes, and if he fails, they fail. For my, I would find it very hard to be in that position where so much of my life is dependent on another. In such an imbalance of earning capacity and power, would I become a "yes-man"?

There is a lot of "what do you think, Vince?" (Vince is the successful star) in the episodes, that, if I was Vince, would make me feel weird. No one would disagree with you, no one would question you. It's not surprising that some stars would get such big heads, if they are surrounded by people like that.

However, one of the characters makes a point to Vince's best friend that Vince and his best friend are "co-dependents". The successful star needs those people around him as much as they need him. Why? Because they are insecure about themselves and need that validation. I wonder if that is the case?

I've already finished season 1. Need to buy season 2 when I get to NY. Bring on more of those pool scenes!
