Had 1 guy hit me upside the head in Spanish, when I taunted him and my arm was in an elbow cast. Sort of caught me by surprise. Japanese friend of mine put him in a full nelson and smashed his face into chalkboard. Got suspended for that one. Probably my biggest mistake in life was blowing my education for a life on the streets and gambling. When I was very young we had these state IQ tests. I think 5th grade. I was the only one retested individually. I tested genius on that test and got put into all mentally gifted classes. That was bad because I did not want to be a geek. You could get beat up just for being in those classes. And obviously none of my punk friends were there. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Being a street hood was probably the easy way out for me, as was the Navy. I blame no one but myself. It is very difficult to stay the course when all of the money was on the streets. When I was young, I just wanted to remain consistently profitable, guess nothing has changed. I apprciate your faith in my scholastic acheivements , but please do not have misplace faith. I am humbled by my own kids. My oldest son, a jr. is in advanced calc and trig. I never made it past geometry. One curious notes, almost all of my friends, very successful financially, wnet to same schools as me, same ratpack as me, no advanced education, and all are very successful. The best one drives a Michaelago. All I do at this juncture is keep my kids on the straight and narrow. I am disaster role model in that aspect...Best wishes...OF
