How to Channel Anger into Spreading Happiness

April 21, 2008 By: Emon Category: How-To, Emonome No Comments →

I sometimes go to bed angry. I know I shouldn’t because it results in tossing and turning until I wear myself to sleep. Then I’ll wake up hung-over with anger and it’s always on a Monday morning. But something about it being a new day makes me ditch “I’m mad as hell and I can’t take it anymore” and challenge with “Bring it on, motherfuckers.” Swearing makes me happy. How about you? I’m talking about productive swearing. For example: I’d recently cursed someone out over the phone and it felt really good. He asked for it. I realized I’d been wanting to curse him out for a long time because he had been jerking me around and I’d been nice to him and endured his bullshit. On the one hand it was unfortunate - for him -  that he got cursed out by someone at least 20 years younger. On the other hand - for me - the bottle had been uncorked. I slept very well that night. I woke up next morning and eased my way to work; I’m usually rushing.  I had a happy work week. The guy didn’t fuck with me anymore and the issue was solved which made a few others happy. That made me happier.Moral of the story: If we take a piss and we take a dump each day to let the bad stuff out, we should too the toxic emotions and thoughts. But we should do so in a productive way. Throwing a tantrum and cursing out the wrong people for the wrong reasons after holding it in for a long time is like taking a dump in the living room of a friend’s apartment. Did you just imagine the scenario? You’re welcome!

The real moral of the story: Masturbation cures headache!

You didn’t see that coming, did you?  ;)

How To Make The Most Out of…

…your walk to the bus stop, the bus ride, a cellphone, and Adobe Lightroom. You have your way. This was mine from yesterday.

1. On my way to the bus stop:

2. While waiting for the bus. Doesn’t make sense to not take advantage of that fence.

3. And when you spot a pretty lady outside the window.

I did a series of 9 pics about an empty seat on a bus looking out the window last week. This is my favorite out of those. [full-screen slideshow]

How To Find Out Your Friends’ Perception of You in 5 Easy Steps

April 10, 2008 By: Emon Category: How-To, Emonome 5 Comments →

1) Ask them to set you up on a blind date.

2) Tell them it has to be someone they’ve known for a while.

3) Wait for them to come back to you with: “Oh, (s)he’d be perfect for you!”

4) Allow them to set up a time and date as well give you tips on outfit.

5) Appear at date; never allow double date.

By step 4, you should have a clear picture of how your friend(s) see you. If you don’t by then, step 5 should do it. After #5, you have basically 2 choices - to, or not to, stay friends.

If you still don’t know after step 5, you have to wake the fuck up!
