    That's an exciting profession. They may not earn much, but they get all the girls.

  5. Robert Capa came to mind. He had a relationship with Ingrid Bergman. And he lived his mantra to the very end and died on the job. "If your pictures aren't good enough, you are not close enough." He got close enough to get himself killed by a land mine.

  7. Just get yourself any beat up Canon 1D series camera, and a couple of wide angles. You can pass off as a seasoned war journalist w/out any trouble.
    you know the history, current events, and can talk the talk.
    you'll get the chicks.

    But you have been away from Asia for too long, you don't know or you romantically forget that Asian women only respect/admire money in this part of the world.

  9. First of all, there are always women who are simple and naive enough to not believe in money.

    Second of all, you have the dough so why the bitching?

    Stop giving yourself excuses, just go out and do it. You know what, you just have to say Hello in the subway, to strike a conversation. Do something you have never done before.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
