"Ladies and gents, this is Knox Dupree, creator of Heartbroke Daily, a literary blog that chronicles my persistent lovesickness and the hundreds of women who have broken my heart over the years. We&amp;#x27;ve met once before--I hope I made a good first impression. Ryan and I go way back to the spring of 2003, when we met in Madrid. Dios mio, those were some crazy times... On the advice of my lawyer, I have a firm policy of not allowing people to take my photograph, so here&amp;#x27;s a shot of Ryan and our mutual friend Shane.Ryan was spending the semester there as a part-time drunk, part-time art history scholar and full-time Casanova. I was trying to regroup after my business venture as a wine merchant in Portugal soured and my girlfriend of a year-and-a-half left me for an investment banker from Boston. Naturally, Ryan and I hit it off immediately and we&amp;amp;#8217;ve stayed in touch ever since. Last summer the two of us met up again, only this time in New York. I managed to talk Ryan into joining me for an evening of drinking Bud Lite tall boys and riding the Staten Island Ferry back and forth. We somehow got to talking about our rock-bottom relationship moments, the incidents that make you wanna take a vow of celibacy and live in the woods for a few years. Lord knows I&amp;#x27;ve had my share. In the name of love--or lack thereof--I&amp;amp;#8217;ve gotten hooked on cough syrup, contracted malaria in tiny Balinese village, stolen a car and driven it to Wyoming with a suspended license, et cetera et cetera. Ryan has a few doozys himself, but I&amp;amp;#8217;ll let him share those with you when he&amp;amp;#8217;s good and ready. The interesting thing about hitting rock bottom is how you can look back on some of these moments and simply laugh, while others haunt you for the rest of your life. Then there are the ones that do both at the same time, which always freaks me out. Do you have any rock-bottom relationship moments? Let it all out--you&amp;#x27;ll feel better, I promise. Have you learned anything from them? P.S. I also publish stories about other people&amp;amp;#8217;s heartbreak. So if you have a heartbreaking story to share with the rest of the world--and I know you do because everybody does--send it to me here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
