Millionaire Matchmaker obsession

Hello fellow New Yorkers,


After having a wonderful weekend outside of the City, I returned to catch the latest episode of my recent Bravo networking obsession: the Millionaire Matchmaker. I like the show for two reasons: a) Patti (the millionaire matchmaker) is a genius (at what she does, at least ;) with good character who understands superficial people and what they really NEED in their lives, as opposed to what they think they want. This show is intriguing, mostly because of Patti's psychoanalysis of the video tapes sent to her office and also because of her in person meetings with the millionaire's and what she looks for in the women she matches them with. However, because of the nature of Patti's discussions with the viewers regarding relationships, it makes me think about my own life. Do I really want to be wealthy? I used to think so, but now I'm more focused on happiness, i.e. spending time with the people I love the most and working toward my own goals of owning my own successful business, being published and throwing philanthropic/networking events that will help people in need and bring people together within a community. Unlike some of the women on the show, I'm not looking for a millionaire, I'm looking for someone who makes me happy who has longer term goals for himself. I feel lucky to have come to this place, but I know the greatest challenges lay ahead; how will I balance my career, graduate school, getting published, networking and my significant other? I don't know, but like anything else in my life, I know I will plough ahead, pushing, working toward my end goals and hoping for the best along the way. With today's insight, I'm out folks, stay tuned next time for more ranting and raving from you know who -The Know it all New Yorker-
