I'm a three time loser. Have been for years. No shock really, most of us are. Losers. Not exactly like me but close enough to understand the difference. Don't make me any better, nor worse I guess. Most of us are losers. Probably for the best. The world needs a lot of losers. That’s just the way it is. Success can't be for everybody. Some of us got to do stupid things and live completely stupid lives to make some of the rest of them feel good. They doing the same shit as us, they just call it something else. Stupid is as stupid does sir, says Gump.
I got pinched when I was a kid. Tried sticking up a gas station. Didn't notice the squad car parked off to the side. Jail was no place for me. Too many of my friends were there. Things only got worse as time went on. I didn't like paying attention. I preferred doing it my way. Didn't take long for me to figure out I ain't that special.
