You're a perfect example of what I'm referring to. You spent your entire
childhood watching TV and fingerpainting with your own turds, and now as
an
adult you're nothing but a goddamn shelf stocker in a large retail store.
Most guys your age have successful careers as attorneys, doctors, etc, and
a family and stuff. And what have you got? A job that requires NO skill,
NO family, NOTHING except your half-empty ****hole basement apartment, a
reputation as a lame troll/kook, and failed dreams of becoming a famous
web
designer. You failed at life.
