Lately I've been noticing a lot more anger in me. Usually this is just dealing with the roomies and such. My tactics are to just leave the room and cool off for a while, but I can still feel like a dog ready to bite anything you put near its mouth later. It never really seems to go away. Any advice?

Write in a journal? Preferably a private one?

Go to the "Chad" thread and beat up on him for awhile. Trust me, it makes you feel much better!

As does joining a forum for the apparant purpose of pissing off nearly everyone in it.

Ok, breathe. Breathe.

Take a deep breath..In...then out.....and repeat.

(This message brought to you by the Society for the Preservation of People Too _______ to Breathe)

Ask Dagonee what word is missing since it's his phrase and his society.

And that's him being civil BTW.

I did the same when he originally posted it as well. I just didn't respond to it or Ben's "civility".

But that is Dagonee's quote above.

Like clockwork, every time I start to feel like people are being a little too hard on Chad, he strolls in to the living room and pees on the rug.

Yes, Chad. EVERYTHING DAGONEE DOES IS GREAT!

Heck, I for one would LOVE to watch Dagonee light some kittens on fire! Or eat some babies! That would really make me happy, because nothing Dagonee ever did could ever do otherwise!!

Ok the threads officially derailed by Dagonee, let's get it back on track.

Chad, Chad.... tsk tsk tsk.

Obviously Dagonee didn't derail this thread.

I mean, even if you ignore the fact that, well, you know, you started it.....

Dagonee Can Do No Wrong!

Thread-derailment isn't on the list of things Dagonee can do, as that list contains only positive things.

Well, you might want to read over some of Dags posts. He's pretty dreamy. And the best part is that he's infallible. I'd take notes, but I get too busy dreaming about his keen intellect, razor wit, rippling pecs.

Oh crap. Was I supposed to making fun of Chad or Dags here? I'm all confused.

One of the few blessings of being easily distracted is that I don't stay angry long. Most of my advice falls along the lines of "find something shiny" so I suspect I don't have much to offer you.

This is the most amazing thread hijacking I have ever seen. Derailment is one thing. Derailment is to be expected in a thread. But I know thread derailment, and this, sir, is no thread derailment. It is a hijacking.

You shouldn't have missed our anti-chad meeting last week then. We had kitten-eating, and pop corn.

Of course, when posted "Too Stupid to Breathe", I admitted I was wrong and took it down almost immediately. Not that you quoted it correctly, anyway.

Dishonesty, he makes up sh*& to post and say.
Now it looks as though he's here to stay
Oh why won't he just go away?

Suddenly, the 'Rack's not half the fun it used to be.
There's a liar looming over me.
Oh please won't he just go away?

Why he had to lie I don't know he didn't say.
He made up some stuff and now I long for yesterday.

Hypocrisy. An ugly little word for games he plays.
I want things once more to be okay.
Oh why won't he just go away.

I think a good idea is to flail my arms in the air spasmatically and say, "George is gettin upset!"

BtL . . . I wanted to take a moment, since my last interaction with you was somewhat argumentative, to tell you that I think you are a god.

That is all.

Oh, and Kwea, too.

So should I punch a hole in something or not? We never answered that question, which truly lies at the heart of all great works.

What if I punch in a hole in, like, a big rice cake? Or a really big, crunchy waffle? Got any answers for that, smart guy?

<------Just realized all of the above comments not only failed to be funny, but also rationally supported your argument. Somewhat.

BtL, I am just about at the state of actually rolling on the floor laughing. Thank you.

Book, I often enjoy the wanton destructiveness of The Dragon's Fury. I find it quite therapeutic.

Gee golly gosh that feels better.
Live for who you are, and what you believe.
Don't live for a label, or an -ism.

Be an individual yet realize that if you say F*** off to the world, life gets mightily tough.
Here stands the big issue that separates us from primates. Do we bond together as a society, or sit around flinging dung.

Book, I've found putting on a pair of safety goggles, grabbing a sledge hammer, and pounding large rocks into tiny rocks to be an effective way of bleeding off anger. Any kind of exercise will do, really, but there's something very satisfying about bringing gravel into the world.

I always go on a very fast walk. This allows me to breathe really heavily for a while, and it also allows me to think all the nasty thoughts I want to think without anyone around whom I can hurt. I keep walking until I'm not mad anymore, and then I turn around. By the time I've gotten all the way back home, I'm much more sane. It might not work for you, but it works for me.

I throw things when I'm angry. My hairbrush, mostly, 'cause it doesn't break. It's childish, but it works... and no one usually sees.
