She'd sit me on her knee, try to keep her lips from mine, and rock me to sleep. As my beauty developed my fortunes, I hankered after a chair of my own, just like my grandma's. And one day, I bought one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/ab%20chair.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/ab%20chair.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called it my rock-hard abs chair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually my buns bored right through the seat of that lovely chair, and I was beautifully sad at its passing. So much so that I went right out there and bought a new one - just as you replace anything once you're done with it, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I was still SAD, y'know? So I bought a soft and comfy sofa-chair: somewhere I could lounge in a still-softer silk shirt and look meaningful. I called it my comfy-melancholy-dandy chair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/silk%20shirt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/silk%20shirt.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That broke too though, moulding itself to my beauty but in so doing losing its special softness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years passed and I knew many different chairs. And one day I thought I'd found the perfect one. I'd sit, sit, sit on it all day long, happy as a beautiful young lark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there was a problem. Such a problem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have seen the effects of beauty such as mine: just because one woman has me, does not mean others don't yearn for me. Ask my poor wife. Only you can't, unless you're an exceptionally talented spirit channeller! Because she's dead. I have told this story already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it was with the chair. If ever I got up, someone would sit in my place, comfortable and relaxed in its warm embrace, the receding imprint of my beauty still more than a memory. I tried to bear it, but one day I cracked. Some situations are simply too much to bear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There I sat, in perfectly-assmebled, high-cheekboned comfort; and suddenly, she was behind me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/young%20girl.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/young%20girl.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YEEEOOWW! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A nipple tweak is a nipple tweak, no matter who's doing the tweaking, and this is one natural beauty who does not like to be tweaked. I tried to control myself, but in the end I did what I always do. I snapped at the little minx.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Take That!" I yelled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/take%20that.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/take%20that.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I mockingly impersonated her favourite boy band.

It’s a friend of mine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey Marrow," he asks, "What are you up to?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I’m like, "Right now?

I love this guy, but he drives me crazy. Always on at me - it's like "Hey, Marrow, update your blog. I don't care if you're ill or busy or whatever, I want to hear your stories." I tell him I’ll think about going out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real trouble is, like a lot of my friends, he’s jealous of the looks. What he wants, more than anything, is the kind of attention I get. Every time I hit the beach, say, it’s "Quick!

And so I would spend my days casually loitering, appearing uninterested, secretly hoping for a glimpse of my supposed nemesis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/spying.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/spying.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learnt techniques to cope, practised relaxation, honed my beauty.

I'm walking along on a new spring day, and I'm surprised by the sudden heat.

Ok, I’m guessing there’s not a dry panty in the house, as I discuss some more interests – my diet of George Foreman-grilled salmon steaks with hand-sifted cous cous and sliced avocado, my recent expedition in the Hymalayas, the aesthetics of decorating my London, New York and Paris penthouses – but this girl seems to be coping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next thing I know, she’s muttering something about dying happy, about how it’s only ever going to be downhill from here, and off she runs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/carving_Under_car_closeup.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/carving_Under_car_closeup.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I should have seen it coming.

They tell me it’s time to play a game. We head to a nearby hill, they put me in a pipe and start telling me they’re going to roll me down. It’s like: how beautiful are you when you’re repeatedly spinning at 150 kph? Funny thing is, the answer seemed to be very.

At first, I was just like, "It’s over for you." They soiled themselves. But these guys are my boys, at the end of the day.

Well, you don’t, but take it from me: it’s not fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve deviated from the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other night a friend of mine was round, and she said we should pick up a six-pack, and go fishing.

It wasn't the best, so I politely suggested that in future, when we met, we should eat elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/tongue%20out.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt; He was a bit upset at first, but when it became clear that I wouldn't see him - or rather, he wouldn't get to see me - unless things changed, he agreed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, on Monday, we decided to eat out. Let's broaden our horizons, I said. Go crazy!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/bp_crazy.jpg" border="0" /&gt; What have you got to lose? So, we decided that we would strut along to a new place that's opened near me. No, I'm not saying where that is - but well done for trying.&lt;br /&gt;This new place had a very beautiful reputation and was somewhere 'to be seen' (where isn't?). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/pygmy%20restaurant.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt; Correct. It's a pygmy restaurant. Yeah, they're small, but I was like, whatever. So I ate and ate, and you know what? It was ok. It wasn't beautiful, but I liked it. Yum, I thought to myself. Yum yum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next day I was walking along, minding my own beauty, when suddenly...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/curry%20rumble.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Yeah. It rumbled. Through the layers of ribbed, toned ab I felt a distinctly unbeautiful gurgle. Immediately I thought of the potential for embarrassment. I was not dressed for an overflow of rusty water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12 hours followed in the toilets, shitting through the eye of a needle. Noises that bore no resemblance to my face were heard. Smells that were the very antithesis of my buns were smelt. AY, I thought. Will this never end!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It did. And that night found me atop the roof of that Pygmy restaurant. Some 7 precarious feet off the ground I perched, looking through the glass ceiling at the proprietor as he cackled and bragged, no doubt boasting about all the silly 'big people' who had paid him in order to spend a day shitting battery acid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/owner.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Little turd, I thought.

But it's not like I can just go 'Hey, the name's Marrow, the face is beautiful, the feet can quell armies': people would think I was a dick. And anyway, mostly I meet people and they're just like 'Oooh, pretty' before I can say anything. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All this is by way of scene-setting. Because on Saturday I went out, and shit happened.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I admit I was dressed casually&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/dress2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;but what - is it like, "Hey Marrow, you're not dressed to impress so we're gonna &lt;em&gt;abuse&lt;/em&gt; you"? Or is it like "We're gonna shout and laugh like hyenas because you're not conforming to the idea of beauty which &lt;em&gt;you yourself&lt;/em&gt; have narcissistically perpetuated"? Or even "We're gonna throw &lt;em&gt;water&lt;/em&gt; on you"?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I'm expected to find that funny?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because that's what happened. I'm walking along all casual, and these guys are laughing at me. And eventually, one of them empties his bottle of water on me, calling me &lt;em&gt;Priscilla&lt;/em&gt;. Well ha fucking ha.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/wet.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It &lt;em&gt;hurts&lt;/em&gt; to be bullied. And you know where it hurts? &lt;em&gt;Inside&lt;/em&gt;, where you don't find real beauty, but a different, more fragile, less beautiful kind. But did they care? No. Before I knew it, they'd &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; thrown their water on me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/wet%20to%20neck.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well there's only so much beauty can take.

And they were dispatched with karate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fourth and final chump started to plead and beg and squeal. "Please, beautiful man. PLEASE!" Well beauty need not exclude mercy. So I told him to run. "Run," I said. And he ran away. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But will he tell all the fools of the world that beauty is not weakness? Will he ask them to leave me in peace, that I may share my art with the less beautiful world?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We will soon know, friends.

I know not for how long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seconds turned into minutes; minutes to hours; hours to parts of days; parts of days to complete days. Thoughts of my beauty kept me going, but in a world devoid of mirrors and bitches, how long could it last? With nothing to appreciate it, would beauty wither? &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="182" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/haha.jpg" width="212" border="0" /&gt; Funny idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I arrived back in civilisation a shell of a man. Had that shell not been the most beautiful imaginible, I shudder to think what might have become of me. As it was, I soon found a place to stay - a launching pad for my return to a normal life. Gradually I became reaccustommed to the presence and attentions of women. I decided that the best way to speed this process was via titty bars. Titty bars populated by hungry writhers like &lt;a href="http://miminewyork.blogspot.com"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; one. Dance for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="188" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/dance%20for%20me.jpg" width="175" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;My thinking was simple. The titty bars and I shared a common mantra: 'look but don't touch'. I thought that I could rely on the professionalism of these "ladies" to safeguard my beauty from grasping hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But there's always someone who has to spoil things. One night, as I sat through my nightly dose of therapy, one of the girls approached me. She introduced herself as the mother of a "blogger" known as Artegall. It was she who introduced me to this world of words. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How nice, I thought: a simple conversation. How nice, she thought: the most chiselled abs I've ever seen. What followed&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/unwanted%20kiss.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;distressed me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether it was the lack of human company, the shock of being touched or the simple, horrifying contrast between my beauty and her utter lack thereof, I lost my head for a moment; it can happen to anyone. I am a man of passion. Je ne regrette rien.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/shooting.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her journey was now at an end; for me, a new one was just beginning.

'You have no right to treat your fanbase like this. Apologise to them.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'You say that,' I replied, 'But I think "God-like" would be an accurate enough description of my looks, and these people get to look at me for free. They take but never give. Why should I apologise?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus I stayed locked in contemplation for hours.

She was not to know then, as she lay back to learn that pleasure is not to be feared, that this would be the last time she would feel beauty inside her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke the next day with sunshine in my heart. I was free! Free of the grasping attention of all of womankind! Free, in fact, of the chains of my beauty. I threw open the curtain of my hut, and strode outside to find that my lonely, monogamisitc joy was but a fleeting dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/crowd%20women.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What you can't see is the pickaxes tucked into their belts. It was an army built for one purpose. For one brief moment all womankind had set aside lusty competition, and joined as one to destroy the thing that had monopolised the affections of their ideal of masculine beauty. They advanced en masse, drawing their weapons and baying for the blood of my spouse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I tried to defend her in the only way I know how&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="293" alt="" src="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2004/05/07/brad_pitt,0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;but even the most beautiful warriors cannot be everywhere at once. As I hacked and slashed my way through the thronging hoard, one skilful amazon escaped my wondrous gaze. From afar she shot and fatally wounded the one woman whom I had believed capable of saving me from my own perfect bone structure.&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/guinevere.jpg" border="0" /&gt;My wife lay dead at my beautiful, elegant feet. It was a time for lugubrious, strong-jawed contemplation. But I was not to be allowed to mourn. The women had achieved their common objective; the race for the prize had begun. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.thejanes.net/img/training/photo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had to be fast and I was, trusting my beauty and safety to my wing-wheeled chariot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.solarnavigator.net/images/brad_pitt_as_achilles.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;I had escaped this time.

Let me explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A man called Artegall has 'tagged' me on his blog. When I heard this with my beautiful ears, I was flattered - beautifully flattered. I was just like 'Fuck off man. No way. You're shitting me.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.fanaticland.com/cine/brad_pitt/imagenes/imagenes/bp_1index.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But I wasn't being shitted. Of course, Mr Artegall just wanted to know what makes beauty tick, via means of a number of boring questions. When I realised this with my beautiful mind, I had to think hard. I brooded, I admit it. I damn well beautifully brooded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/pitt.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I decided to do it.

One would have thought that at Hugh Hefner's mansion it was possible for an incredibly beautiful man to kick back, have a few drinks, and relax. I did. Until I started talking to these girls:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/pg45.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 241px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/pg45.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seemed repartee was not on their agenda. I am well-schooled, and well-mannered. They all had to be pleasured. I sexed them tenderly, and shared an equal portion of my beautiful seed with each. After I was spent, they kneeled at the foot of my bed, offering hosannas and words of praise while I slept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I woke, I felt an emptiness in my heart. It was all getting too much. I needed a break. A lack of beauty sleep was in danger of rendering me attractive. I soon hit upon a way that I could keep the fairer sex uninterested - diguise:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/brad_pitt_skirt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/brad_pitt_skirt.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did it work? Did it buggery. Cross dressing merely caused a shift in the male population's feelings for me - from envious admiration to lust. A curse upon my beauty! I ran where I could stand alone from other men, where my looks would not make me a pariah. The Saraha Desert. I thought I had found peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But despite the fact that there were no people, I was not protected from the wildlife, which was entranced by what stood before it, and no amount of 70s disco shapes would ward it off:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/brad_pitt_rolling_stone_7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/brad_pitt_rolling_stone_7.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was nothing else for it. I ran to a village and married the first person I could find. I was happy with the arrangement - as a taken man, the world's women will have to be happy with the rules: look, and look, and look, and look, and look...but don't touch. She was perhaps less happy, knowing that the weight of the female world's anger was headed her way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/1600/brad_pitt_africa.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/brad_pitt_africa.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am too tired now to finish this sad-yet-beautiful story, for beauty is never idle.

Off Jennifer Love-Hewitt's tit-tays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this I paid this morning with what the French call 'un hangover'. I still looked beautiful, but I didn't feel beautiful. It was strange. I needed a coffee to make everything better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1880/2415/320/Marrow.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I did feel better. But still, I have to be careful with my features, so I wore sunglasses. And as I was walking along, some non-beautiful, poorly-dressed chump called me out. WTF?, I thought to myself, and looked round to see where he was.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.cinematrix.hu/fajlok/hirek/kepek/BradPittBeard.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's what happens when I don't shave for a couple of hours. Doctor says it's to with some kind of excess testosterone which also causes me to have a huge cock. I'm just like, whatever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway the chump wants a fight. You know the score. A little bit of this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://home.primus.ca/~liam3/images/troy/troy_lg_37.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;And a whole lotta this: &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.magicclubfilms.com/deadman.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fuckin chump.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, after that unfortunate altercation I went to work. It isn't easy. But I'm getting by. Day by day by day. Nobody said it was easy being this beautiful - sometimes it's a curse - but I'm here, I'm doing it, and I'm gonna keep going till somebody stops me.

As you've probably guessed, the fight was over a woman, the outcome all too predictable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img.timeinc.net/time/2004/troy/images/01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or so I thought. 7 sessions and 149 orgasms later (fourteen for me. Yes, it's possible. Just not for you.) I was sat relaxing, debating whether I should wait for her to recover and start again, or call Giselle and get her to fly over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://webfantasy.info/Brad_Pitt/Images/Brad_Pitt_01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And suddenly, the motherfuckers burst into my flat.
