Marry her. Then get her to be a devout christian that does not believe in divorce.

also helps if you talk her out of higher education and have some kids with her. By the time they grow up, she will have zero marketable job skills and have to still stay with you.

LOL

Dear FBI: I have no connection to or knowledge of this individual's actions.

Shine probably knows a lot about this.

or more like this?

Like this?

Oh wait, you're still doing the newspaper thing? You're screwed. You need to develop a shrill political angle, like be the hispanic guy who hates illegal immigrants. Write all kinds of illogical rants - don't worry about facts, it just has to appeal to emotion. Also, you need a gimmick look. Like a special haircut that burns itself into people's brains but still say "media guy." Maybe some kind of gimmick string tie or 3 piece suits made out of denim.

Then write a book to become a magnet for misdirected political outrage towards illegal immigrants, but do it with kind of a snotty sense of humour. They love that. You'll be on the best seller list and writing a syndicated column in no time. You'll have officially promoted yourself to pundit, you'll have an agent, and you might even get cast as a character on Fox News.

I'm telling you, this is a huge niche waiting to be exploited - "guy who can talk trash about illegal immigrants and get away with it because he's hispanic so it's not racist." Make sure to talk about how hard your father worked and his loving, heavily Christian relationship with your mother who worked in an automotive plant 12 hours a day but still took the time to read the Bible to orphans during her time off. Also, how much they both deeply respected Reagan and raised you to be just like him.

Damn, this is gold. Maybe I should convert to Mexican and use it myself.

You need a break a big story. Rich appears to be a disaster waiting to happen, so follow him around with a note pad, or whetever 21st century version of this is out there, and a camera.

Education, man. Keep getting those qualifications in your spare time. Don't listen to the usual bs about how experience means more, the young up & comer with better and more up to date qualifications than they have is the exact person all those "seasoned pros" are terrified of.

Loving the continued baseless hostility. Keep it up!

Razor, you'll find a way to channel that energy but many times the frustration can come from a lack of clear goal setting. Often times it is easier to set goals and work backwards from them. That way you can gauge your progress, if you need to make any adjustments, determine where you want to be after 2 years, 5 years, in order to reach your targets so that achieving those goals doesn't feel overwhelming. Regardless, you'll figure it out, it takes time.

Ahhh, I see. Yes, I agree, you would suck at life regardless of the city you live in. Hell, you could live in them all, give it a shot, things would still suck for you.

Mothers. Many of them. Yours is in the batch.

So what are you doing to rectify this situation?

I know, just clarifying my statement that somehow painted me as "a fucking loser" with no ambition.

You know, this isn't at all about moving physically to another city.

But hey, that's just me.

What a fucking loser.

Ramon, you suffer from the affliction known as ambition. As Ben Franklin said: "Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires."

If you are not moving forward, you are falling behind.
