Fun little things you do to keep from killing yourself

Yoga. In the wake of the current financial crisis, I relieved my growing fear of insolvency by repeating "I'll always have my yoga practice".

Get coked up, listen to Tusk. It's a classic, but I like it too!

I still kinda want to kill myself when it's over, though.

Yoga is awesome. Nothing sets my head straight in a more efficient manner.

I do lists. Crazy lists. Define a process, follow it through to the end, see if its completion leads to anything interesting/useful. If not, discard the process. If so, repeat it in another context. For example, there's my "Reading the Musical Zeitgeist" list that I've pointed to previously, or my ongoing (and about to come off of hiatus) "The Most Acclaimed Living Film Actors" list, which took a giant hit this weekend.

for example.

Also, connect the dots.

I write code.  Only it's fun game or math type code, instead of the tedious business code at work.  I am a sick, sick person.

Hmmm. The first track is "Over and Over." Beautiful song, but not coke-friendly.

I really hope you don't keep any guns in the house. Have you talked to a professional about this problem?

Well, I'm only a little drunk at that point, but by the time "The Ledge" kicks in, I'm rushing down the slope, baby, no looking back.

I go to www.wherethehellismatt.com and watch the videos.

Sometimes I end phone conversations with "I love you" just for the hell of it.

i do this!  it's pretty satisfying.

otherwise, i go to the park/river, go to shows, read, listen to my records on the floor (this usually takes hours away from me), bake (and then bring the goods into work the next day), paint, write, take photos, or go online and learn something new (usually a language) with no intention of remembering it, but to merely kill time (and not myself).

Sometimes when I'm really depressed I realize it's because I didn't drink enough coffee.
