Oh my very inactive (up to now) blog, but not forgotten.
Sometimes the only thing that can contain a my thoughts sometimes, is a piece of paper that is later scrapped after writing, and thrown away, to be found and read a long time after it has become irrelevant.
Something interesting happened today, I got a headache because of being angry at a situation. Yup, only a headache.
This headache/situation is because of a common practice, actually the MO of a lot of companies, they just expect you to be ignorant, and treat you like you are. So here I am, semi-ranting.
What would be the best sort of container for my thoughts? (I sometimes wonder).
- Music, I have been working on learning how to play guitar (classical/nylon strings).
- Prose, well, this blog is one, notebooks and journals are other ways of it.
- Verse, the fact that I stopped writing these long time ago, doesn’t mean I have forgotten.
- Code, yes… sometimes I can store my thoughts in programming languages… sue me for being geeky.
- Drawing, I’m not very talented at this, all I do is doodle most of the time.
- I know there are lots of ways more, care to suggest any? and or support any of the previous?
The question would actually be, coming from me… what would you pay attention the most? (leave comments, if you put [private] anywhere in the message, I wont publish it).

It is 1000x times better to feel pain in your knuckles in this kind of situation.
Other than that, you know what I’ll suggest, but just in case, MUSIC MAN, MUSIC! Also, lol angry code. Perhaps this might interest you: http://rlv.zcache.com/angry_code_monkey_mug-p168815732464076504qzbf_400.jpg.

I agree on the monkey part, but I think I’ll refrain of using profanity on my angry code.
And the pain in my knuckles… erm… exercising patience here, let us all hope that words can solve this ‘little’ issue.
All of these are valid venues. There’s also some stress-relieving in just plainly using energy up. Bonus points if it’s breaking objects on purpose.
I’d recommend a more nature-esque approach that does a bit of both: throwing stones as far and hard as you can to a body of water that won’t complain about it. That or anything along those lines that doesn’t hurt non-inert entities.
As for using any of the arts, I don’t think it’s good to put limits to you. I’d personally behold/listen/read whatever comes out, so wouldn’t have a real preference there.
Totally agree with Llorllale, Music should be your path ^^, that being playing or listening, music always helps. Also, if you go with playing, maybe we can get together some time ^_^
Nevertheless, I don’t think you shouldn’t have a “container” for your thoughts. If you got something on your mind, or something’s bothering you, the best way is to get it off your chest ^^
Either way, I know you’ll find something you love and enjoy, to help you ^^
Take care,
Isr.
PS: holy crap, that’s some angry code xD
