I've been 32 for around 6 months now. I still don't like it.

Hell, I don't even want to accept the fact that I'm in my 30s. Yet, I'm reminded of it every time I look in the mirror and see my slowly receeding hairline or the grey hairs popping up in my beard.

FUCK!

My mom had her operation today. Removed a blockage in her stomach that was keeping her from being able to digest anything but liquids. Life kinda sucked for her for a while.

d) she'd keep her room in the...
