just wanting to know what do you yall do to get out bleak moods
I've never been in a mood so bleak that I wanted to snuff my own candle. On the other hand, there have been others whom I have wanted to exterminate.
When I'm feeling down I ...
1. Listen to music. And I turn it up loud. Mozart. Tchaikovsky. Hank Williams. Buddy Guy. John Lee Hooker. The Stray Cats. George Thorogood. The Sex Pistols. Aerosmith. Six Mix-A-Lot. Whatever ...
2. I find a reason to laugh. Bob & Tom. Bill Engvall. George Carlin. The Three Stooges. That stupid Frog In A Blender game, or the Gerbil In A Microwave game.
3. Have sex. A screaming, sweaty boink does wonders to lift the spirits.
4. Go for a walk. Make a solid effort to not step on any cracks or in any dog poop.
5. Play golf. Grab a fresh, shiny, white ball and hit it the hell down the fairway. Chase after it. And when I find it, I hit it again. There are few sounds more gratifying than hearing that ball roll into the cup. A bad day golfing is still better than a good day working.
6. Cook. Find a great recipe that I've never tried before. Make it mine. Eat it like I haven't eaten in weeks. Wash it down with a great glass of wine.
7. Pick up the phone & call my mother, or one of my brothers ... especially if it's the weekend or after 9 pm on a weeknight ... free minutes on my cell phone, you see.
8. Give one of the kids (or one of the cats) a "wet willie".
9. Post a totally silly, irrelevant topic at an online board.
10. Stare at family members thru the tines of my fork while I'm eating. I pretend I'm seeing them behind bars ... the criminal misfits.
