The fact this man has not Lowtax'd himself is amazing.
It’s his incredible capacity for self delusion.
Possibly it is his only talent.
Followed perhaps by his ability to find a wife who enables and affirms his delusions as hard as he seems to believe them.
Let’s be honest, Niki is childless and if it was just companionship she craved, there is no shortage of fat nerdy loser men who would jump at the chance of marriage to her. Even if it is still to further the beard pretense.
It doesn’t seem to be money she needs or has Patrick for, so presumably she could even settle for a loser who can’t even afford to buy a Thai bride.
The theory that he domestically terrorizes her I think was quashed by the fact that she followed him on this recent interview tour regarding the alleged swatting.
So as horrible as it is to imagine, maybe she really does like, respect and possibly even love him?
So the combination of his own amazing self perception and a woman who really seems to care for him, that might actually be what keeps him going.
And he is a fat narcissist.
Yeah but at least most of the other alcoholic trainwrecks produce saleable work at a decent clip. It's taken Fat Pat 3-4 years to shit out a book that will, at best, be read by a handful of bemused trolls.
Again, perhaps it’s not unusual for literary agents to keep non-producing authors on the books.
There must be fuckers who self publish then go hire an agent expecting all of the big publishers to come a knocking.
