"I still think you’re the shit."

Sometimes I wonder why I am the way I am.

No, I haven't been listening to Eminem.

If my life had been different -- had siblings, grew up in a different country, lived in a different time period, raised by both parents, born into a rich family -- would I still be the skinny, sarcastic shmuck I see everyday in the mirror when I brush my teeth? I'm not saying that I'm unhappy with how I turned out. It's just, days like today, I wonder...

Can it be better?

Can it be worse?
