I am certain that I am not a loser, but I dont think I can say that I am successful. There is much more that I feel I can accomplish. But I can say that at least I am doing something about it.
Anyways, just to share a story.
So in high school, I knew my share of drug dealers. This one guy seemed like a pretty big one, just judging from the money, clothes, jewelry he had. He even gave me $5 for copying my hw once.

Anyways. I saw him the other day at the Philly Cheesesteak Shop. We started talking and he was asking what I was doing, I told him I was working at XX school doing whatever. I asked what he was doing. I glanced at his wrist and was blinded by his watch and rings. He told me he was in real estate and owned a couple bars. I just kinda laughed while pointing at his hand and told him he always did well for himself. He knew what I was talking about and laughed.
Wish I was a baller. :wtc:

At the same time, Facebook and the like have given me an opportunity to see where some of my classmates are at in their lives. A lot of them are doing pretty well for themselves, have families and shit like that. Every once in a while I would see an old classmate working retail trying to finish school, others I still see on the streets looking like they did 10 years ago slanging and bsing on the street.
