I've Had Enough
Jakob hasn’t always been the most humble or polite fellow — you could argue that he’s worked his way into becoming this public target — but it sucks when things get to this point; where they go from slightly snarky and partially humorous, to just plain rude. (“when people stop being nice, and start being real?”)

Deano's Destruction →
