Alter Ego

Meet Shore.

Well actually, you already met Shore. If you've read any of posts about sex or seduction, you've met Shore.

I've had an alter ego since the time when people generally develop alter egos. Puberty.

Back then, as you all know, I was a shy kid, quiet, wishing I was one of the cool kids. Seemed they had so much more fun. They talked to the girls. They weren't invisible.

So I invented Seyi, my twin brother, class clown, cheeky, confident. Everything I wanted to be (fake it till u make it eh?). Seyi wasn't invisible. He was anything but. He was deadly on the basketball court, and a hit with the ladies.

But he was still fake, so in intimate situations, ones that required emotive involvement, he was nowhere to be found. As a result, it was easy to get a girlfriend, but then I hadn't the slightest clue what to do with her. So it was safe to say Seyi was of no real use to me at that point, but he was there, watching, observing, learning.

Fast forward a few years. I started watching Boston Legal and Seyi finally found someone he could really learn from. Alan Shore became our mentor. He was everything we both wanted to be sans the aetheism, the fat and the mild psychosis (we had our own psychoses(sp?) to deal with). He was smooth, passionate in his beliefs, ruthless, a humanitarian, and loyal to his friends. He was also a sexual deviant. He was perfect.

Over a five season gestation period, Seyi was reformed, recalibrated and eventually reborn as Shore. Smooth, passionate, ruthless, sexually depraved Shore. I, D,adopted the humanitarian edge and the loyalty. The whole essence of the Bachelor's Conundrum is the struggle between my two egos. I'll let them introduce themselves.

D

I'm the poet, enamored by women, nothing but respect for them, putting them on a pedestal even. I am the hopeless romantic, the dreamer, the "together forever" guy. When I talk to a woman I look into her eyes; trying to find her soul. I work everyday to be a better man. A man who will continue to strive to be worthy of my woman's love till the day I die. This said, I am also aware of my worth and will not settle for anything less than that woman's best. I love God and thank Him everyday for grace, because I know I'm going to need it with Shore. I'm embarrassed to say I still get tongue tied around beautiful women sometimes, so I need Shore.

Shore

I study the Kama Sutra, D might refer to me as sex obsessed but I prefer to think of myself as more of a sex  and seduction scholar, constantly working on improving my technique. I sometimes talk to women with a glint in my eye and a cheeky smile. You could say I'm obsessed with long legs and skinny waists and will literally stop midsentence and do an about face if a cute set walked past me.

We have the same objective in mind. To find the perfect woman. Here's a classic conversation between D and Shore.

D: I need a woman who is smart, creative, funny, open-minded, effortlessly hot (but not averse to putting in a little effort every now and then),  pretty eyes, smile like a thousand lightbulbs, and a hot body.

Shore: yea and she better fuck like a pornstar.

It's an unusual but comfortable alliance, the two of us. We complement each other.

D is here to remind Shore to always treat women with respect even when he's behind her with her face in the pillow. Shore is here to ensure we get behind her with her face in the pillow :p.

And there you have it. These are the personalities that co-exist (peacefully for now) within my head. A few other tidbits of information regarding the twins.

-Shore, whilst being continually open to new experiences, can be quite methodical sometimes. He requires a clear head to ensure optimum use of his analytical mind. So he only drinks Coke and Rum. He finds that this drink loosens him up a little but does not impair his ability to think and act. Every now and then, someone comes along with a few cocktails, Shore retreats and D makes an ass of himself. Always within reason, as Shore pulls him back if he's about to do anything REALLY dumb.

-Shore doesn't do much writing in the summer... too many fine women about. D is more the introspective one. Don't expect too many steamy posts this summer.
