Maybe it's this time of year that gets people riled up. Maybe it's world events that have got peoples' stress and anger level at an all time high. Whatever it is, it is unnecessary. I am writing this post because, as of late, I have noticed that people in general are full of anger these days. This is especially present in these forums where people tend to vent their frustrations to the world; hoping, perhaps, that by taking their anger out on others maybe there will be someone more hurt than they are out there. Acting in such a discourteous, brash manner; always on the offensive; looking for the next fight, it doesn't help anyone. I ask that all of you please stop, step back and just focus on something else for a little while. Focus on something other than what upsets you until you are able to approach it in a calm, civilized manner.

Myself, I use music to calm me. I also talk to my girl a lot. I believe music is a great way to have one’s emotions triggered without any harmful action having taken place. Music triggers our emotions, it draws us in, and it distracts us from the troubles we have to face or motivates us to face them in a heroic manner. Next time you feel like being on the offensive and acting abrasive towards another person try listening to music and relaxing. It’ll help you, and it’ll help those around you. Relax.

Art is a great way to express your emotions, and as chris said, listen to music, it's great stuff. I'm not usually one who gets overly angry or emotional, but this year I'm getting kinda edgy...meh

Are you suggesting that everyone not step OUTSIDE for fresh air so often?

Perhaps we should stay INSIDE a bit more, as there is some fantastic music to be heard.

BTW - I completely agree with Hajime on this issue. Everybody needs to re-discover humor

I have to wonder if there's a full moon or something...

I started a thread a while back, basically to poke fun at the "Rock Against Bush" CD. I mean, to me, a bunch of musicians who think that they have any business telling ANYONE about politics to me is crying out to be made fun of. Then I go away for a day, and the thread is locked?? Of all the threads to get locked, this one?? What??

While I do otherwise on occasion, MOST of my posts are at least somewhat tounge in cheek. I agree that we need a good deal more humor on the part of some folks, probably me included at times. Maybe I need to put a disclaimer in my signature??

The first thought that comes to my mind is lack of sex & companionship from a member of your preferred gender. Snuggle therapy has done wonders for me, I highly recommend it.

You said it. I have mine in about two weeks.

But I think the end of the school year is just stressful in general. Summer is coming up, school is ending, sox and cubs are dueling it out...people just get excited.
