Sims 2 and Tenchu: Return from Darkness published...

gosh this job is making me so exhausted I have let my precious gaming existence dwindle...how long can I last like this? After having realised the futility of working one's ass off for money? It's just like prostitution, only difference is that I'm selling my dignity, my precious time on earth and my sanity instead of sex. Who's the bigger whore?

One of the songs I listen to on my way to work these days is "Street Life" by Randy Crawford (thanks to Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" for this inspiring song)

I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know

Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away

You let the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar

The type of life that's played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress you walk you talk
You're who you think you are

Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel or a dime

Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold

There's always love for sale
Upon a fairy tale
Prince Charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon

And if you keep it young
The song is always sung
Your love will pay your way
Beneath the silver moon

Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life

I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know

Street life
And there's a thousand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away, oh

Street life
Street life
Street life
Oh, street life

Sounds like anyone's life? Not that we work on the "street" but the rest of it is kinda true, especially the part about not getting old.
