David Cross - I Drink For A Reason - Breaking Up.wmv 

My girlfriend broke up with me today. 2 hours ago to be exact. I've never felt such pain and betrayal ever in my life. I saw this clip 3 months ago and only today did I decide to listen once more. You will not get any better breaking up advice than from this video. What he says is the truest thing you'll ever feel. You will feel alone even while with the ones closest to you.

i have never laughed and cried at the same time. thank you david

"Such is the totality of the rejection of everything that is you" That is perfect

What a helpful man. Glad he's met someone & seems to be so happy..

my head was in my hands by the end of this. he's got it so spot on. this fuckin sucks.

David, you will never read this, but thanks man. This really helped.

Me and my ex have been broken up for about 3 months but I just moved back home after I lived with her for 8 months. Only then did the "temporarily deaded" sink in. I don't eat, I barely sleep, all that jazz. I guess having her there postponed the dead feeling. It hit me as soon as I started moving boxes out. I can't stop crying and thinking about her. The way david describes this is just too the T. It's ridiculous how accurate he is. It made me feel a bit better, if only temporarily.

This is still helping me today.

"But a real one" I embody this

Wow...that was an amazingly insightful, articulate, and poetic soliloquy, which superbly defines the inner anguish we all experience following a break-up. Well written, well spoken, well done.

"Such is the totality of rejection of everything that is you." I'm going through a break up and this is too funny. Totally spot on. I wonder if he is still with the totally amazing woman that he prefaced this piece with.

pure brilliance

The end of that rant....holy shit.

Agreed. David Cross is smart enough to pull it off but I really don't think I ever could.

Awesome, Tobias has his analrapist stocking cap on.

So seriously good it hurts. I just went through this a few months back, and I really wish I heard this then. The audiobook is well worth listening to, even though he adamantly berates you the whole time because audiobook listeners are lazy and dumb =p

Brilliant.

Um, yep, David is exactly right. Hit the nail right on the head.

Perfect, exactly how I feel as of two weeks ago.

David brother if you truly want to forget someone here is what you do, you give them the finger and say FUCK YOU IS OVER and then you move on with your life.

that two week phase has been 4months and counting for me.

the worlds first analrapist!

David Cross should narrate audio books.

So fucking accurate.

I always liked this bit of the book. He nailed it. However I'm on year 3 of the same shit. It just won't bugger off this time.

"Somewhere over the rainbow, is another rainbow".

Gosh, I didn't know he could write so well.

im living this shit

..and took off his analrapist stocking.

I wish he could hear me as I say to the screen, "dude, please stop, I know and still fucking hurts."

I agree.

Yep, pretty much.

does this stuff work? do people buy audibles from these vids?

David, please never do that again.

This guy is not really funny..but I don't think that is his aim..he is a powerful writer and is masterfully adroit with words...a poet in his own right...someone like Louis C.K is funny..and he says the same things that this guy does...difference is that we feel the sensitivity and seriousness in David Cross,,aka "this guy" and its too poignant to really laugh at...

@answersInNemesis blacks can be racists, women can be "man-bullies", David Cross can be a Super aggro nerd! Jews can be money hoarders, Gay's can be, well they are what they are! I'll be offending at the speed of single digit typing. thanks for your concern! don't judge!

They fit over those jean shorts?

Damn it.

*this is stupid but please go with me.. I always kinda thought of love as that girl thats magneticcaly unattracted to you.. so long as you stand the correct distance, she's there. If you chase her, she will always be running away. But, I've heard, there will be that one you didn't see, running straight at you. Get ready for that one, and make sure you do it right.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool this is so funny

What is "Lit"?

JINGLE JANGLE JINGLE

you are the funnest ass iv ever seen.....no shit brother! you have it lol.....yours truely lol chalie owens (shop class drop out).....(grease reference) lol

@muddack how did you end up on here if you've hated David Cross that long... I am a fan of his, didn't even know he was ever on that dumb show, and just found this clip. So as someone who hates the dude why the hell did you seek his material out haha

It's a band...

@SurlytheCLown oh! little man?? I get it you are a woman, and that's your big line. awesome!!

@banditgrl sometimes you just click on things. I can't even remember the links i was following. no matter he sucks. and his disciples are easily upset by a comment I made aeons ago! haha! if he was in my city I might seek him out as well! would you like to know why? he's lucky I don't gay bash!... well not intentionally!

loved him in arrested development haha

Sure, he pulled his analrapist stocking over his head. But he just blue himself.

@muddack don't be sexist

and pulled his analrapist stocking over his head

I thought he just liked cut-offs.

he's wearing his analrapist stocking lol

Cut-offs...

@muddack meh at least your honest.... whatevs.

Tuck in your string. Jeez. It doesn't always work. Actually, it usually doesn't.

haha, meet up and go to "Lit"

@muddack you were what when I was what? Try an education there little man, you might learn something.

Please don't talk
