If it makes you feel better I'm sure Kevin and Ben both have their own insecurities, and probably experience unfulfilled dreams as well. Fame does not make one a more valuable or happy person. Keep in mind too that once upon a time both Kevin & Ben were big old dorks with no careers and no prospects. They haven't changed substantially since then, it's just that people like you now recognize and appreciate them. So just remember without you Kevin is a shlub in a sweatshirt selling kids cigarettes in a gas station outside Newark, and Ben is a pale, earnest geek sweating auditions, next month's rent and whether Matt is ever going to make out with him. Mad love to the boys but who builds the ViewAskew empire? You do, baby.

: Don't get any wrong ideas... but, a few months ago, and then again yesterday, I dreamt I was friends with Kevin and Ben Affleck. First dream, we just hung out. Second dream, I was actually involved in a movie with them. Haven't you ever had a dream where you were so involved in it, and it seemed so real, because it's something you really wanted, and when you wake up, there is an empty void that's, well, unexplainable and aches like hell? Well, that's what happened to me both times. In my grogginess, realization slowly creeped in that I was not their friend, not involved in movies at all, and that it's just me and my 'normal' life once and again.
