Aside from the natural urge to turn up the boost controller and go burn off some fuel and rage at the same time...What do you folks like to do to "get it all out"


I write. I am known to be a bit long winded (I know, say it inst so) but I will get to hammering on the keys so fast that a secretary would be proud. If that doesnt work and Im still steamed I burn stuff. ;) I mean with my welder. Nothing gets rid of tension better than taking some stock and making something else out of it. Those little pools of molten steel just wash my anger away.


So what do you guys (and gals) do?

I haven't read a good story from you in a while. I remember reading a few last year, but you've been to busy this year working on Lucy, and that really pisses me off..............I'll be back as soon as I get through doing what I do when I get pissed........anyone seen my lotion?

Build things. :) And drive. I've been known to get pissed, and find myself just cruising I95 (which is across the state from me)

Contrary to what you might believe, shooting things isn't a very good method to vent anger. Pretty much anything violence related is not good. It reinforces the idea that anger management by violence is good and sometimes escalates your angry state instead of dissolving it.

"Venting" anger by projecting it onto somone or something else is not the best idea. I expect alot of people are going to respond that they chill out by driving but the way you drive is important. Dangerous speeding, swerving, disregarding laws, doing things you wouldn't normally do, etc is bad. Not just because you put yourself at risk and others but it's the same type of thing as venting by shooting things or punching a door. If you're just cruising or driving like you normally drive to relax yourself, well that's not so bad.

i play guitar for hours on end. I love musicianship and i can write songs for hours on end, and it makes me feel good about what i am doing. Or i go out and work on the supra (which is almost done! :D) or something that takes my mind off things or i grab a beer, play with my cat, and talk with my loved ones.
and as many mentioned, sleep is awesome.
