prolly best to stay away

i think they call this explosive rage disorder. or temper tantrums. whatever. i have been having a grumpy day and this remote was pretty much the crappiest one ive ever used, as in, the last thing i owned that was this bad was that nextel phone back in 2000. and if you don't know how that ended, well, it was pretty ugly. so when i picked this up this afternoon and it didn't work, AGAIN, I chucked it in a fit of total rage.

im havin a hard time keepin my emotions in check lately and im not sure why. i'm talking about stuff like weeping at the pedigree adoption commercial or the one where the hospital people say they'll be thinking about us. and just being really irritable in general. i don't know exactly why except work is stressful and i have this nagging shoulder injury that's probably just tendonitis but it is incredibly annoying. and all my projects are in various stages of unravel, so that just adds to the effect. to quote eddie murphy, i am having a very bad day.

  1. While throwing a remote isn't the best way to handle your agression, it's probably still better than the way I dealt with my rage one time. I was so pissed I actually punched a cinder-block wall. Ended up dislocating my pinkie-finger - not in the finger itself, but rather the bone down in my hand. My knuckle was about a half inch out of place, and all I could do was grab it and pull it back into place. Kind of sucked.

  3. Yuck. Do you like to golf? I find going to the driving range to be a good way to get out my excess anger. It's getting warmer so that could be a possibility.

  4. OK actually with the shoulder injury, that might not be good advice.
