I'm an asshole, and i find the older i get the more bigger asshole i become. Why? Well because this is how my life has shaped itself. Situations and people in life i have known and dealt with for years have shaped my life. I guess i am a product of my own environment so to speak.
I also speak up for myself ten times more than even 5 years ago, and a lot of people don't like it when people stick up for themselves. So i am often arguing with people because i don't back down like i used to when i was younger.
