_You saw the mil today; today I'm lucky if I could get paid...Your girls are fine; it seems a dime or two in every dozen. I only wanted one, but I'm no one, so I get nothin'. But all this nothin I got is all that's keeping me tough. Maybe this nothin' I got is enough._ Wow, these words really hit home with me. It's hard in NYC to get a girlfriend and not be selling drugs or involved in money laundering. I recently talked to a friend about me dating a girl and she says I got nothing to offer her because I can't buy her nothin. By nothin, I mean Prada, Gucci, Dolce, ya know, the girl's best friend. _When I'm alone when the lights go off, I'm never sure if I could make it that far. All that I know is I want those flashing lights_ I feel the exact same way. I really don't know where or if I could make it as far as I would like to. Who really does? All I know is that, maybe my dream of being a movie director is more realistic than I thought. 2008-04-02T23:35:37Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/25353 <p>This was the best of em all.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/25353?basename=53981 2008-04-02T23:35:37Z M.Paul Regret http://ficlets.com/authors/user_7581 <p>Hold on to dreams.. sometimes they do come true. stay true to your beliefs and let the music you love be your guide.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/25353?basename=53289 2008-03-31T18:21:04Z SKermitgorf http://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorf <p>I hope you can stick to that dream, or at least one that doesn&#8217;t involve going criminal. I see a lot of patients who took that route, and if I don&#8217;t see them I see their jacked up kids and families.
