41 and still angry. Yeah, you have got to get some good outlets, and some alone time to deal with daily noise.
Heavy metal and lifting weights burns off most of my anger. When the bulk is taken away I can listen to easy listening music, or silence, if I can get it, and just deal with whatever is bothering me. Just taking deep breaths and thinking happy thoughts can help too, unless you've already gone over the edge to shouting at inanimate objects.
As vanblah stated above anger is damned useless, in and of itself, and you just can't dwell on it, or it will eat you up.
All my siblings are also angry people, but I watch them live angry lives, and it really has just hurt them. I do alright, but still have some work to do. One of my brothers, who was about the angriest of us, has moved on and become quite the decent person and father. He had to move across the country to do it, but whatever works right?
