starting drinking, play some quality music, maybe spin a bit. If it's really bad I like tear apart an engine or transmission and see what I can do to improve it. When I get started on some serious mechanical redesign I tend to forget the rest of the world even exists...I've started drinking and listening to music already today, guess it's not that bad yet.

I'll have to go with the common theme of drinking.

if you got money to kill, go to a strip joint.

I have also seen that have the opposite effect, I have been tracking a phenomina that I have dubbed Post Titty Bar Frustration Syndrome.

That's when one of your boys thinks he's mack enough to go home with every stripper there, but then at the end of the night when he's broke and not-so-drunk-anymore, the loneliness and depression set in, when then erupt in a torrent of obnoxious and irritating behavior which if left unchecked may result in him getting kicked out of the car and walking the rest of the way home.

Use my mind to overcome and bury it.

did you get one of those new minds that doubles as a shovel, with the optional extender handle sold separately?

True Stress has a root cause... I have found for myself it's usually me being wrapped up or tied to a commitment that is eiher mandatory, or I am smothering my creativity input and/or output.

"there's nothing quite like being reminded you still have the ablility to surprise yourself"

Remember this... things you feel tied down to, and that are "impossible" to remove from your life, may be farther away than they appear in your mind. I'm fascinated by how simple being at peace is for me. I stopped ignoring the stress, looked at the cause as the pair of shoes that give me the blisters every time, and finally ditched the shoes that looked perfect instead of wasting time and money on socks, band-aids, and"pain killers".

I never wanted to sound like a hippie or a space cadet, or make things sound so simplistic or fantastic in theory... it bugged the shit out of me...

Just fuckin do it!

That's exactly what I did: lose the job that's stressed me up all the time and concentrate on the things I like and I'm good at, and make them better. Feel so much better now!
