writing. He would prance around like he was God because he "fucked that ho into the ground" then slap me around and beat me because I was quiet and just wrote songs, played guitar and tried to perfect stage and screenwriting.

I'm 38 next month. I'm an executive and head writer for an independent film and media company with five movies coming out in the next two years internationally that I will either have both story/screenplay credit or just screenplay credit, along with three as associate producer credit.

That bullied died of AIDS six years ago. Most of my bullies are still in their dead end jobs, in prison, or drug addicts. . .and I'm living the king's life in Asia with my Chinese wife, doing what I love and getting paid handsomely for it.

Now that I have a composer (another HS friend) am working with, my songs and movies will get produced.

Yet those that bullied me are losers. . .amazing how life works itself out like that.
