Watch some stand up comedy.
I just tell myself to stop everything, close my eyes, take a deep breath in, and as i breathe out, clear my mind completely. Helps quite a bit to get a perspective on things.
I go cut a switch as thick as my thumb and go back in the house
Music
Beat the living shit out of a two year old.
Listen to some crazy ass music, it vents for you. Try Psyopus.
I usually end up drawing a lot, it helps me vent, and once I lose myself into the drawing, all my focus / attention is into it, I'm no longer pissed, and I end up drawing really accurate things.
That and I watch shit on youtube.
If i ever need distracting or calming down i always watch a good Sitcom or something that i've seen already but i love. I got ditched by an ex a while ago (1.5 years ) and sat and watched Spaced and Phoenix Nights for a couple of days and it helped tons.
Familiar sights and sounds are good for calming down. Unless its something directly related to whats making you angry...
I play Super Ghouls & Ghosts.
Nothing in the world pisses me off more than that game, so whatever was making me angry becomes a distant memory when I get to the castle and die to one of those flying demon guys. Holy fuck I hate them.
I write. For some reason some of my best writing occurs when I am so pissed the fuck off that I cannot see straight. Hatred makes me creative, I would probably make a good supervillian.
It depends on what or who is making me angry. If its a person making mad I try to put myself in their perspective and rationalize the behavior that is making me angry. If its a video game or something frustrating me I take deep breaths, listen to music, and/or take a break from whatever it is to cool off.
MAME > infinite lives/invincibility. Only way i can beat that motherfucking game. Only thing worse is the hoverbike level in battletoads. That'll just piss you right the fuck off until you want to punch a 2 year old in the face.
I get pissy, I play GTA IV. There is nothing more satisfying than jumping in a helo, and taking a spin down the broadway portion of the city... sending taxis, police cars, and ppl flying every which way with the rotor blades.
I've actually practiced to the point where I can just maneuver the controls just so and make a game out of trying to land a car on the roof of a building or throwing a car into a group of ppl on the sidewalk.
I might need help, but god it calms me down in a hurry.
Turn off my game console.
I sleep
