"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster." -- Henry Hill, Brooklyn, N.Y. 1955.

    Is it wrong to continue to think I deserve more then what I currently have?  

    As a kid, I remember saving my coins, counting my little bankroll daily, and dreaming of fame and fortune.  I grew up with all the confidence in the world, and I thought big every night of my life.

    Nowadays, I spend my time working with severely emotionally disturbed children.............( I can hear my readers now thinking awwww to themselves ).  Now, even though it sounds like a very worthwhile kind of profession (and makes for a great pickup line with hot chicks), I just can't help but think about my life sometimes.  You know, like when I make that drive in the Los Angeles traffic, in 98 degrees, in a car with no AC, only to arrive in the projects, speak with a family, and have a kid say to me, "Hey Ernest, is it true that all you crackers smell like wet dog and baloney?"
    Call me crazy, but I honestly never thought that this is where my life would end up.

What do ya think a that?
