Life effects everyone. Whether you live a quiet life and become a nice person, keeping your boots clean and out of the waste of everyones problems.
Or you're like me and you tread your way through shit storm after shit storm not seeing where you're going or how to get out of it. And by 30 you're already a bitter old man/woman who hates the world.
i hope to change my view and become the nice quiet kind.
Or maybe i just need to get a better umbrella and jacket.
Alot of people tell me i'm an asshole. And a disillusioned failure with a mental disorder.
