Yawning Man Posted March 13, 2008 hi everyone One of my favorite ways to relax when having a few brews or after some "certain substance/herb/fungi" is to kick back with the xbox on and have a little gaming time. A bit of a nerdy anti-social way to relax but that's what works for me. Especially when i have some good tunes playing in the background, something like Air, The Flaming Lips, Tool, Pink Floyd always goes good with gaming. How about you guys, what's your favorite way to relax/come down or whatever? c'ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderIdeal Posted March 13, 2008 i'm a big fan of doing absolutely shit-all, to be honest. i don't exactly listen to relaxing music so it's not always preferable. i definitely enjoy nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yawning Man Posted March 13, 2008 i definitely enjoy nothing. Haha, so you just sit there in silence looking at the wall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coin Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) hmm music for me mostly...and hanging out with my sister (sounds gay maybe, i know) playing with my dogs...what else....i like comedies, but can't maintain my attention span for movies, so i tend to download tv shows so there's no ads - when i'm just veging...generally won't watch anything that doesn't make me laugh outdoors on a summer's night is good...going off to sleep when it's raining...play piano regardless of my mood, always feel better (except if im trying to learn a piece) also i like cooking like some people enjoy painting or making quilts it's not "arty" but for me, i feel like it's definitely a form of creative expression Edited March 13, 2008 by coin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monk Posted March 13, 2008 For some reason, I've always been down for a walk/hike after consumption of whatever. This used to piss off my friends to no end 'cuz they just wanted to 'chill' Now, most often I get my dog, my skateboard, and a tennis ball and head to the park. Good times.

nabraxas Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) if i want to relax a 6 pack ov beer (it used to be a big bag ov buds, but i don't smoke anymore) & a DVD ov something funny or fantastic---nothing too heavy. EDIT: burning incense & soaking in a hot tub works wonders too. Edited March 13, 2008 by nabraxas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

watertrade Posted March 13, 2008 Organising a bbq and beers with friends - everyone packs the kids, dogs, eskys and we head down to one of Canberra’s many lakes. I like to have lunch, have a few drinks and kick the footy around. When my friends are not around I like to go on random motorbike rides or head out into the shed to tinker on unfinished projects - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted March 14, 2008 I can't believe noones said GARDENING, love to get out & be productive in the garden, love it when our 2 almost 3 yo grabs my hand & has to show me every plant LOL, even just sitting in the prescence of my plants is so relaxing better than valium... almost. Playing with the kids well that actualy wears me out btu watcing them play is relaxing. & as has already been said ganja, beer, benzo's, funny movie oh & EB forums ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apothecary Posted March 14, 2008 Agreed, what better way to chill than in the garden. If I've got energy then I'll whack on some headphones and pot up seedlings or whatever. If no energy then laptop out in the backyard under the shade of our giant qat tree listening to some Hendrix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted March 14, 2008 FM tennis balls are like sand paper, they can wear dogs teeth down to the marrow at which point they get infected. Thats what my vet says anyway. My favorites are taking off my shirt and jirating to punjabi music in my garden, reading science books (I'm learning about human drug metabolism right now), or when I dont feel like dancing half naked and cant comprehend 14 syllable words theres always cartoons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted March 14, 2008 Anytime i want to relax, i hang around with nice girls! Sex kinda helps! I also like playing chess or making Music Beats on the PC. I also love to water my cacti when i´m stressed! It´s one of the best ways to get rid of stress! I also like to just look at my cacti or repot them when i´m in a bad mood! Sometimes i go mushroom hunting to relax! Or i I play piano or guitar! I read books or comics in order to chill! Sometimes i like watching some cheap Trash Horror Movies! bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted March 14, 2008 I keep warning you about herpes EG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Too late, Auxin! Just kidding my friend. Herpes is afraid of me. I recently escaped during sex when i got the impression that the girl had herpes. Man, i cant describe how pissed she was! She called her father on me. Unnecessary to mention that this raging maniac brought his Shotgun with him to save his daughters honour! I had to leave the house through the window and landed in a thorny shrub! Sex can be VERY dangerous! bye Eg Edited March 14, 2008 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aya Posted March 14, 2008 also i like cooking like some people enjoy painting or making quilts it's not "arty" but for me, i feel like it's definitely a form of creative expression What are you talking about? Cooking and fabric crafts are definately arts in their own right. Cooking is just painting with flavours, and quilting sculpture with fabrics. To relax i normally read or play some music, also walks in the surrounding paddocks tend to clear one's head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted March 14, 2008 Haha, so you just sit there in silence looking at the wall? yeah. stretch my back, think to myself, or even try not to think. that's where it's at. you all mentioned great stuff, and i don't wanna sound like a sloth, but none of those are as relaxing as hitting the park brake.

nabraxas Posted March 14, 2008 My favorites are taking off my shirt and jirating to punjabi music Hey Auxin you ever heard ov Daler Mehndi? Bolo Tara Ra Ra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monk Posted March 14, 2008 FM tennis balls are like sand paper, they can wear dogs teeth down to the marrow at which point they get infected. Thats what my vet says anyway. Really?! I never heard that. I guess I'm off to find a more dog friendly alternative. Thanks. Herpes is afraid of me. Sex can be VERY dangerous! bye Eg Yeah, last time I saw Herpes, I told her to watch out for EG. She didn't seem to get it at first, but it sounds like she does now If you're going into the rain, always wear your raincoat Oh, and shruman's right, gardening is perhaps the best therapy there is.
