HA! Well, what would likely happen after about ten minutes into the guitar lesson would probably get me brought up on charges. 

One can hardly mistake a man who&#039;s been through such things. His character walks ahead of him. Maybe one day, I&#039;ll live up to the same statement about myself. One day, perhaps.

Funny you should mention Keanu Reeves. The man&#039;s expression stays the same through pretty much every movie he&#039;s ever done, but it turns out that he is one of the most fundamentally decent and humble men around. And his life has seen far more tragedy than a man has any right to endure. Such things tend to shape a man&#039;s character.

Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber come across as pathetic children by comparison.

After I&#039;m done doing what you suggest, I would think about sending them to you for guitar lessons- except that this would violate your human rights under the Geneva Convention&#039;s protections against cruel and unusual punishments...]]></description>

Only if you&#039;re supplying copious amounts of free eye-bleach, buddy.

And yes, having bags of money definitely appears to have an open-sesame effect on women&#039;s legs. Or, as Winston Churchill once astutely pointed out:

Churchill: &#034;Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?&#034;
Socialite: &#034;My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... &#034;
Churchill: &#034;Would you sleep with me for five pounds?&#034;
Socialite: &#034;Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!&#034;
Churchill: &lt;b&gt;&#034;Madam, we&#039;ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.&#034;&lt;/b&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I got the impression from the making of featurettes on LOtR that even Sean Astin could take Bloom. And he&#039;s been horrible in every film. At least Keanu seems self-aware about where his few strengths lie and doesn&#039;t seem to take himself (nor praise or criticism) affect his day. I respect that.

Bloom seems to see himself as an ACT-TOR, Philistine!

Go beat them both, deadlift them and give them a maths lesson, would you?
