Singing, playing music.
orgasm. even better with a partner
A hot bath. Talking to a good listener.
This may sound dumb, but resolving the problem. I was super stressed yesterday when I got an alert that my paid parking timed out. I thought i would be able to extend it on the app, but turned out you could only do that before the timer ended. And the website said you could ask a “live agent” any questions, but there was only AI with pre-selected topics.
So I had to hurry back across the city to pay for another period and I was LIVID but as soon as I got the next period covered (and no ticket) I felt better. I was (am) still angry on an intellectual level about the garbage parking company and their bald-faced lies about live agents, but I no longer felt the need to rage-scream.
A lot of good answers, so I’ll add cooking.
Getting all the ingredients ready and putting them together is a good feeling. I feel like I’m creating something. Then I get to eat it. I’m making sauteed mushrooms and a turkey burger tonight. I got garlic paste for the mushrooms, so I’m excited for it. I love it when a plan comes together.
talking into a fan so that your voice sounds funny
The ocean
This definitely. Walking on a beach with nobody around does it for me.
My father always said, the ocean washes away all your sins. He meant that it helps get rid of a hangover, but I find that it helps in a lot of other ways too.
Sex with my wife and fishing
* finishing
He meant fisting.
Na. many times I just enjoy just finishing her
Masturbating
Primal screaming in an enclosed space, like an elevator
one thing I miss about driving. though my passengers didn’t appreciate it as much.
Run up mountain! Run up mountain until brain not working and feel like vomit!
Making up jokes about whatever the upsetting situation is.
This works well.
I love mocking billionaires in my YT videos, in part, because it is in fact cathartic.
One of my favorite jokes of all time is “that’ll frac.” (Used to be in the oilfield) but saying it after something has failed catastrophically. Like a 2500 HP throwing a rod, or hoses exploding. I wish I could employ that strategy inwardly.
Weeding the yard, one grass plant at a time
I had a neighbor who used a pair of scissors to cut his grass regularly. It wasn’t a big yard, maybe 12ft x 12ft, but he’d be out there all the time kneeling and trimming his grass.
One day I asked why he didn’t just use a mower, and he said it gives him a chance to get some time away from his wife lol
Haven’t thought of that dude in a long time.
Full-contact boffer fighting. Feels good man. I can only imagine what the Buhurt loonies get out of it.
Listening to a really good album.
There’s a good chance my wife will find me crying over Everything Goes Numb tonight.
It’s been a fucking week.
Oh man. Streetlight strikes some emotional chords that nobody else can reach for me. Somewhere in the Between is my personal favorite album, but Everything Goes Numb is also 100% amazing songs. Plus, I swear that every time I’ve seen them live I walk out thinking “that might have been the best fucking show I’ve ever been to.”
Whatever you’re going through, I hope you wake up in a better place in a better time.
Thanks sibling. It’s been a thousand tiny cuts this week but I’m holding on.
Both of those albums hold a ton of significance for me. I actually sang the song “Somewhere in the Between” as a lulllaby to my kid, but ETGN helped me through my other kid’s suicide attempt.
I’m glad to find someone who loves Streetlight like I do. If we haven’t met in the pit already, I hope we do soon.
(Assuming Tomas ever finishes the next album)
Jorkin’ it.
Playing a good ol’ tune on the piano
