it all simply comes down to good guys and bad guys. As a kid, I wanted to be like Roy Rogers, the good guy cowboy of all time. Roy and his horse Trigger would go riding through the movies, helping those in peril while never seeming to sweat get a scratch or wrinkle. A pair of perfectly creased blue jeans on the day was over. They would join the sons of pioneers by the campfire and seeing the sun to sleep. Now that is what I call the perfect job. One day long ago, in another place and another time, I was playing out my fantasy of being Roy with my childhood pals in the rolling hills above heartache, Wyoming, where I was raised, we were racing horses bat out of **** style through the Aspen Grove that led to our little ranch like a true daredevil. I passed my friends in a wild sprint to the finish line, and once I had the lead, I turned around to admire my move as leader of the pack. The next thing I remember was waking up on the ground, my head covered in blood, my left arm pointing in the wrong direction and pain. Lots of pain shooting through my young body. That's when I knew that life wasn't a movie.
