late B-day and a leave of absence

       That time again, updating my age…yuck. At 28, both my knees are failing, arthritis in my hip hands and elbow, both shoulders are bad and my back just as bad….and now my eyesight is going….   Granted the actual b-day was 9 days ago, but I was far too busy with Bioshock 2 to even remember.
                So now what? I sit back revaluate my life, realize that I’ve failed to meet every goal I set for myself, find myself in a worse position than I was a year ago….   I know my father would say it’s all because 21 years ago, he bought me an NES…. I say its because I work in an environment where different is bad and I’m one small annoyance away from releasing my true inner Punk, tattooing myself from the neck down, piercing everything I can (aside from some ‘strategic’ locations) and dying what is left of my hair jet black.   Yes, living this poser identity of the professional is tearing me apart inside. And I guess it’s starting to show.
