I'm reaching that point. The wife wants kids, and I'd like to see them. I'd also like to get back my personality, and travel.
I'm seriously considering packing up the plantation and moving somewhere I'd rather not live, but would have a great (read: easy) job, and not worry about money. I'm tired of being beholden to others. I don't want to be anyone's employee or fucking partner anymore.
I'm also learning the hardest truth - in this shithole city I've chosen, unless you grew up here, its next to impossible to get good business here (and even then, its all shit because there's no fucking money in this rust belt asshole of the universe). I realize now why my father called me an idiot and second-rater for coming here instead of working in NYC (in a non-law job).
Its too bad PA didn't flood instead. Those folks in NO look like decent people who didn't deserve it... Here, it'd be like that righteous rain "washing away the scum" the Clash sang about... A state full of degenerate union scum, corrupt shiftless professional politicians, professional litigants and general backward curs... all trying to suckle of the state teat in one fashion or another... destroying the margins out of any industry that gets near the place...
