he has his short comings,then again it all depends upon which sides you have 
seen of jaz,he has some real sweet qualities--caring also you know,and 
yes,he is self centered,but i would not agree with the point you made about 
jaz only beeing interested in a conforsation thats about him only,he has 
listened to me on several occassions,and those conforsations were not about 
him,i guess its catching a person in right mood,no ones perfect!!
