2.20.2006ANNE SMASH.
friends, bloggers, and lurkers, i am asking advice. come on out of the woodwork and put in your two cents.
what do you do when you have pent up anger? there is an issue in my life that is making me incredibly angry, and the bitterness that has been building up for months and months and months is certainly not helping. before i give myself a heart attack or an ulcer, i need to release some anger.
i used to "meditate." i would put on tchaikovsky's "sleeping beauty" suite, turn the lights off, sit on the floor, and breathe. it helped me out in the past a lot. i worked through and moved past a lot of my anger that way.
i did this for an hour and a half today. it did not help me one bit. i went to work furious.
i had a fine night at work, until one o'clock rolled around and i made the mistake of realizing that i hadn't thought about the issue for the last four hours... then i felt the familiar pricks of my fingernails digging into my palms.
i know i need to deal with this issue, but i don't know how long it's going to be before i am able to do so. i need to stop being as incredibly furious as i am before i can deal with this situation, because it would be unfair of me to explode at this particular individual (and it would only be exacerbating the situation). until that time, i have a lot of anger and a lot of bitterness bottled up that needs to come out.
to get to the point, kids, i want you to tell me how you deal with your anger issues. punching bags? screaming into a pillow? throwing dishes around? drinking your brains out? running laps around your house until you collapse? whether it's cliché or completely bizarre, i want ideas. i'm willing to try anything (short of acupuncture, tattoos, piercings, and heroin -- i don't do needles). leave 'em anonymously if you're too embarrassed, but i'm all out of ideas.
until then...
ps: "CHINESE DEMOCRACY" - for serious, axl? (they have mp3s, guys.) even if you're skeptical, jaded, or pumped (and i haven't yet decided exactly where i stand), you're curious. fulfill your curiosity.
Comments:
Your answer lurks near the end of your piece.
Follow the rawk n' roll ethos. Perhaps it's not a time to "meditate" on self, but to self-medicate.
I either jump on my roommate's bed while blasting Pavement's "Cut Your Hair" or I make PostSecret cards. PostSecret cards are like drugs once you start making them. They don't even have to be real secrets.
when shit hits the fan
plug your nose
its bound to smell bad
I masturbate
I walk, A really long walk, with loud music
I think about how I would kill the person in great detail then I feel bad that i am imagining their death and then feel better about how not serious compared to me killing them our problem is.
Sometimes I run/work out
I listen to music loudly
drinking only solves one thing, your thirst, and that is only for a day, the next day you are hung over feel like shit phisicaly and then mentaly you still feel like shit.
this could be a blog on its own.
as wookiefoot said
If I'm not fallin down drunk I'm fallin down tryin. - not relevant
I suggest a good bout of night fancy on a hillside with buegler....that's just me though....that's just me.....

I am going to reaffirm the masturbation part of what I said.
Do it like its going out of style, and then after its out of style, bring it back into style and call it retro, or post-modern.
either way, getcha groove on with yourself.
Fat Tony may be right on about masturbation, but his advice concerning drinking should be ignored, nay, disparaged.
I mean, how much stock can you put in a man who quotes Wookie Foot and describes his muscial interests as "anything but country"?
That's right. Not much. Not much at all.

lurker,
please be nice to fat tony.
he may listen to wookiefoot, but he knows his shit.
also, he's part machine.
oh, anne there is no easy answer. shitty and unbearable as it may be the only real way to get rid of the issue is to confront it. that's why everyone has so many issues.
and if head-on doesn't work, there's always letters that you don't send. (or maybe you do. whatever.)
personally i like to blare music through my headphones and just lie there, listening to it and thinking. it's quite cleansing.

like renee said, you can send "the issue" a letter. but do it stealth style with the individual letters cut out of a magazine for an added touch. yeah!
i will put no stock in the words of a person whose link is to a google search for the self-medication of marijuana. are you kidding?
P-ho
