What are yours?
There's a sublime song or two I could probably post as well, but I imagine that the picture has been acquired.
Probably wouldn't be such an advocate thereof if I lived in a slightly bluer state. Like, someplace they weren't such assholes about it. But I'm here, and I am at least influenced by my environment. Enough to say fuck em. Shit chills me out. I remember the constant nervous wreck I was before I discovered this particular alternative to alcohol and I cannot believe how much Mary Jane has contributed positively to my life.
Drinking
Litreactor
Books
Masturbating
Walking around with friends, cooking, and watching documentaries alternated with shitty b-movies. Then paregoric and kitties. A lot of kitties.
Litr
Porn
If i can get away with it video games
Reading when I cant escape my wife.
A bathtub full of hot water, a great book or two, cigarettes, ashtray, two-liter and/or carafe of coffee.
Sometimes TOO relaxing: I'm going to die like Jim Morrison or Whitney Houston someday...only, with an extremely bloated wrinkly water-soaked book floating beside me.
"He was hooked on books - shame - why didn't he get help?"
(most assuredly, I'm not going to live fast - die young - leave a beautiful corpse)
Dammit Boone, now we all look like perverts because you didn't say masturbate.
Much better, thanks - I did and it was good. Took four days for that poison to leave my body...
Masturbation is the ultimate insomnia-buster...(after, "zzzzzzzz")
And this guy is off to go and drink myself into a coma. So stress free.
Renfield, that picture is hilarious!
@Joseph--nice porn. I like the facial stuff, I enjoy that.
thanks for reviving this one, bot! what an interseting question, let's see...
violence against inanimate objects for the anger kind. (a baseball bat into heavy bag can be surprisingly satisfying)
going on rants and/or verbal abuse for the anger kind
sex for the weighs-on-your-mind kind
wacking it for the weighs-on-your-mind-but-it's-your-goddamn-wife kind... which doesn't really work...
driving fast kind of treats the symptoms but not the cause
alcohol works better for symptomatic treament in the short term
lifting heavy shit, preferably with loud music, for all kinds. probably the most effective if the timing works out.
fantasizing about revenge for all kinds
Working out, for sure. Really anything that'll just exhaust you.
Drinking beer and/or whiskey and/or a Four Loko. (If you don't know what that is, it's pretty gross. But strong).
Bong rips for the win.
Coffee sometimes. It relaxes my brain, not in a sleepy way, in a focus way.
Working out is the only thing on my list so far that's proactive. Unless bong rips are proactive. I usually write afterwards.
Doing homework isn't relaxing, but after you're done is, having that done.
Go skateboard and fall down.
