I suppose given the choice, and well, isn't everything just a freaking choice around here, that I'd choose getting mad over getting depressed.
Getting mad is sort of outer-directed, and even if there isn't a clear target, it's good to kind of expel those darker feelings, as opposed to being depressed which is sort of inner-directed, and kind of just chews you up.
And just why do I choose to be mad?! Well look around at the world, you Toad!
So yeah, put on some over-charged rock and roll and start shadow boxing in the kitchen. A good release of energy. And as long as I'm fighting shadows, no one gets hurt, including me.
Best to just jump around for a awhile, maybe mop the floor too, might as well clean up while I'm hopping mad and well, turn all that negative energy into a positive force.
The Flaming Lips and Rage Against the Machine provide a great soundtrack to clean up time!
Now that's using your energy in a constructive way! Oh yeah, and Piss Off!
