		<description>Nope being an asshole  ain&#039;t quite the same. Oh for sure I can be an asshole, and i am...alot. Being an asshole to me is more calculated, like I&#039;m going to be a jerk because there is something you done to me, or something I don&#039;t like, or I&#039;m just plain crabby. No this facet is more animalistic, more pure. No motives behind it, but to cause chaos.</description>

		<description>I agree with Mike. Maybe you should change the title to &quot;Being An Asshole.&quot; Although most of the time you are a nice guy, recently I&#039;ve seen that asshole side come out more and more. I don&#039;t know if something is going on in your life that you aren&#039;t sharing or if it&#039;s just that you feel more comfortable with me as a friend now. So, stop being a &quot;Monster&quot; or  an &quot;Asshole&quot; and deal with whatever you need to deal with. You&#039;ve got great quailities and strengths. It&#039;s about time that you man up and look at them. No more excuses.

p.s. Even though you are a dick at times, I still love ya and appreciate everything you&#039;ve done for me. :) ...smell ya later, &quot;Monster.&quot;</description>

		<description>I am a firm believer of predetermination. I believe no matter what I do, my destiny is preordained. My fate is set in stone. Theres a reason I believe it, and it&#039;s not just based on what I read, but what I experienced in my lifetime. I would love to share, but then again you would probably send the guys in white coats with a strait jacket. 

Plus I like to be a little dramatic in my posts sometimes. I think it makes for a better read. :P</description>

		<description>Do you enjoy being manipulated?  Based on your posts, it seems like you do. As someone pointed out in another thread of yours, you constantly look at your life as something of predetermination.  You give one excuse after the next of why you are never in control of a particular situation, whether it be your personal life, your anger issues, or your drinking.  The fact is that it is all one big cop out.

Using the word &quot;monster&quot; to describe yourself is ill conceived.  Spitting on someone, regardless of the situation, doesn&#039;t make you a mythical creature, it just makes you an asshole.  Defending yourself against a bully doesn&#039;t make you a monster, it makes you a tough kid.  Saying your anger to get the best of you doesn&#039;t make you a monster, it makes you someone who can&#039;t control themselves.  You are a walking self-fulfilling prophecy of negative feelings, emotions, and beliefs.

Its probably pointless for me to even post all this, because regardless of what I say, nothing ever gets through.</description>
