I am an asshole, and this is my disclaimer.

Welcome!
NEW ACCOUNT -
Kraest I give everyone fair warning of this. I am an asshole, through and through. I see the world as dark pits of bullshit that I have to wade through just to get anything done. I am not a happy person, I am a cynical bastard. If I think you're an idiot, I'll let you know.
And yet, no matter how many times I warn people that, yes, I am indeed an asshole, they always seem to be surprised when they find out that I'm not lying. I am a catty bastard who likes to pry into the weakest points of my target and tear open fresh wounds if I feel they need to be there.
I really don't see why this is so hard for people to understand. If you're someone I consider close, I'll fight to the death for you, no matter what's going on in my own life. If you're not, I give no pity and I give no fucks.
The people I consider my friends are the ones who join in my catty comments. The ones who get offended, well, you know what? Fuck them. I don't care. I censor myself when I see that I need to, and I let my colours fly when I see that I can.

i hate your guts :>
Hey, I was actually wondering...how do you pronounce your name? lol
They say it gets easier the older you get, but I find the older I get the more I see the same typical bullshit in people's actions. It just takes on different flavors, but it's still there.
Also, I find the older I get the more bitter and frustrated I become. Maybe this is my problem alone...but I doubt it. Maybe I just haven't killed enough brain cells to be 'happily oblivious' to my surroundings (see my journal on the 'key to lasting happiness' or whatever)....but I doubt it.
What it is, I think, is you see things as I do, and are honest about it. Some people can't handle that. Many can't, actually.
Myself, I try to be a nice guy (with mixed results, but I try). But only because I don't really like conflict. So I wear ''masks'. I have a 'mask' I wear at work, I have on I wear with 99.9% of my friends, hell..I even have a mask I need to wear in my own home. I've become very adept at hiding my shit like that, but it's what I've had to do to make my life easier (not better, just easier. There's a very clear delineation there). Which ironically...makes me no better, perhaps, than some of the people I don't like. Ironic, no?
This is why we have our music though. For me anyway...it one of the only things that keeps me sticking around.
Speaking of music, there's a band I've completely fallen in love with, Orwell. Have you heard of them? You can download their newest album for free from their bandcamp page: http://orwellus.bandcamp.com/ (it says "buy now" but it's a name your own price thing and you can put in $0)
It. Really. Sucks.
I'll give those dudes a listen later. Let you know what I think, thanx for the heads up!
