Tough day at work I go for a hike, or bike. To celebrate a good day i will have grill with a beer and smoke a little weed.

This evening I took a sweaty ride, then a shower, and finally some vodka. Feeling pretty mellow.

Long day at work today, I poked around my patio garden, mowed my lawn and settled in with a coffee with baileys and mmmmmmmm, ready to embrace the evening.

After a long fun day of hiking or biking, the perfect mellow out moment for me is sitting by a campfire, watching the sunset, breathing the evening air, and putting down three to six beers that have been packed in ice all day.

Excercise is definately a mellowing agent for me. Nothing better to chil me out after the kids are in bed than lacing up the running shoes and heading to the local track for a good run and sweat. If the weather's cr@ppy I'll head to the basement and either run the belt(treadmill) or ride to nowhere(stationary bike) or hop on the skier's edge. A solid 30-60 minutes of sweating, gets the endorphins a poppin and then after a shower, I'm totally chilled and typically read for a coma like sleep! :)

Whether beat down from a bad day at work or in celebratory mood from a good day...I got five things I turn to in no particular order to unwind.

1. Sex
2. booze/herb
3. Exercise I enjoy - skiing or body boarding
4. Seeing a band I enjoy live
5. Cooking or going out to enjoy a good meal

Horrible day = 0 of 5
Poor day = 1 of 5
Fair day = 2 of 5
Good day = 3 of 5
Great day = 4 of 5
Unbelievable day = 5 of 5

beer and weed..a BJ would be good as well but they're expensive..

Unfortunately sometimes there comes a time in life where you here "BJ" and one of these two things pops into your brain first:
