How do YOU tell the world to "Kiss Off"?

[phana14]

I have been replacing the deck out back of my shop/shack.

For three days now, after accomplishing each day's work quota, I have gotten a *cold one* (or more, meh) and just relaxed while watching nature's *livestock*. From the interaction between the beetle and the ant--dragonflys fighting each other (only to stop the 'fight' and fly off in tandem) jeez--bunnies--endless birds and everything else, I'm curious now.

 

When things get down on you--how do you cope?

 

How do you tell the world to "Kiss Off", even if it is only briefly?

Interesting question.

 

What I do when I want to tune out the world:

I have a large, very comfortable overstuffed chair. I get one of my favorite dead tree books out of my book collection. Then I get comfortable in my overstuffed chair and read. Losing myself as the tale spins itself out in my mind and imagination like a movie. In doing so I generally become oblivious to my surroundings and the world goes away. At least for a time.

 

I think that it is a thow back to when I was growing up listening to my favorite after school radio programs and using my imagination to visualize what was going on using the dialogue and sound effects to do so.

A big bag of salt and vinegar crisps, big bottle of sweet chili sauce, a big drink and a book, or some QI or Never Mind The Buzzcocks on Youtube.

Tomas,

I have to plead 'guilty' regarding the "dead tree books".

 

OH CRAP! Are you pulling my leg?? Books from trees?? Paper?

 

Reading a book/story is one way to deal with a mind that is maybe going into overload, but there are so doggone many OTHER ways.

 

I have always loved the outside world--nature--so I have learned over these years to watch the little creatures and how they react to each other and 'yes or no' get ALONG with each other!

 

Thanks, Tomas!

 

I was just asking. hugs

Personally, I love to just sit in the hot tub maybe with a nice glass of wine. It has a great view over the entire valley, so its nice just to stare at all the lights at night. Of course, I turn my phone off and I just relish in my solitude. I think that being alone is sometimes the best company.

However, if I'm annoyed at someone or something, I may pull out my laptop and just rant all over a word document.
