How does driving around NYC brighten your spirits?

driving aimlessly does wonders to the brain when its pissed. I do that too m2kewl

Yeah, but around NYC? That would piss me off even more. :)

A person on a boating forum I belong to has this in their sig:
"When life hands you a lemon, say "Oh yeah? F@#K YOU. I like lemons. What else you got?"
:)
When I get down I just keep going knowing that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and wiser. Oh and I have a :beer:

When I get down, I remember how sh!tty my life was when I was depressed. I use self-will to cheer myself up. I hate feeling blue, so I refuse to do it!

Sometimes I rely on spirits to keep me in good spirits, but usually my friends help to keep me happy. When I get down I go out and do stuff with my friends.

I used to be that geeky... ;)
I feel guilty when I spend a lot of money.
Unless I'm spending $700 on a guitar.. or $400 on an A70. :confused:

I like smoking crack, while shooting up some heroin, and topping that off with a little PCP.

Yeah, that always does the trick for me, too. When I wake up a few days later, I feel great!

Whats that one thing that you rely on to keep yourself in good spirits?
What makes you feel better when your down?

i run. and play basketball a lot.

its got dual purposes. i get in good shape too. last time i was really sad, i ran like 3-4 times a week couple miles a night. and played ball. was running miles under 6 minutes by the end. the endorphins will help you too.
