Seriously - a defining moment of my life is in that gym with Ray and Zucko and the Belt. Gah.

Oh yeah. Ohhhh yeeeeaaaahhhh. Man, that was incredible. Made me love Vecchio all the more. I totally understood him -- his constant griping as a mask for his own dissatisfaction with himself, his insecurities manifesting themselves as aggressiveness, his simmering anger... he was definitely someone I understood on a cellular level. The scene where I knew he was exactly me was when he told Frannie that a guy like Fraser would never love a girl like her. I always thought he was talking about himself there (Sandy and I talked about that at length when she was feeding me episodes), and it just cuts me to the bone.
