Stress Relief

People deal with negative emotions in a myriad of ways. Some people scream into a pillow, some people hit a punching bag, some people eat everything in the refrigerator, and some people squeeze off a few rounds of live ammo at the shooting range. I watch Mary Poppins.

Whenever I feel stressed, lonely, rejected, or just plain sad, Mary Poppins always seems to cheer me up. There's something about a woman who is practically perfect in every way that just makes you want to get out of whatever funk you're in and do everything in your power to get as close to her level of self-awareness as possible.

I'd like to go a step further and combine various methods of stress relief. Can you imagine toting a .357 Magnum aimed at a punching bag with a picture of someone you hate taped to it while you sing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious at the top of your lungs with a small pillow tied to your face?

Of course there would be eye holes cut into the pillow. It would look silly otherwise.
