    Writing! It exorcises the bad feelings onto the page where they are trapped forever.

    Deep-chested, full-volume, belt-it-out singing. Especially if it’s either super sad or very angry.

      Recommendation: Brownie Mountain from Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job. It’s a melancholy anthem that rewards - and, in fact, requires - fully-commited vocals, while at the same time also being a song about accidentally eating a literally mountain-sized pile of brownies.

      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.

    Violence & Physical activity to the point of exhaustion.

    Working a heavy bag or chopping firewood are great examples.

    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)

      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.
