It's been a weird 2 weeks.

All my friends seem to be having relationship problems, which makes me sad.

One of my friends asked me why I never seem to have any relationship problems.

I guess I don't. It's hard to tell.

This is because I practice a time-honored technique called "disaster therapy."

It is a many-stage process that involves piling emergency upon emergency so fast you never have time to feel down about anything because what you're doing is so much worse and more terrifying than anything else going on. Some examples:

Eagerly accept bets from friends, any bets at all.

Ask someone out who is clearly out of my league.

…rarely followed by the terrifying prospect of them actually saying "yes."

…usually followed by the discovery that I called the wrong person with the same name.

Not editing myself, either around strangers…

…or by bringing up subjects loudly in a coffee shop.

Getting into car accidents, skiing accidents, and zoo accidents helps.

As does pretending I have super powers.

Playing around with things that can hurt me also helps.

For explosive drama, nothing beats hitting on my friends' Moms.

Lifting heavy objects until something gives.

Humiliating myself in public is a plus.

And, of course, making the usual round of bad judgment calls.

So in conclusion - don't feel sad or stressed if you can create situations so much worse the first thing doesn't bother you anymore - and then continue the process like falling dominoes. It works - AND it builds character.

I'll outline my two other methods later, but I strongly recommend disaster therapy (patent pending) as a starting point.

I firmly agree that this works well. I have been suffering from it for a few years now.. but things are calming down and coming to a head all at the same time. strange how that happens.

Good idea!

And when you have no arms, a severly bruised face, and are commonly known as the "milf milker" .. no one with date you anyways!


*high five.

Dude, this is awesome! I can't agree more with your theory.
Let's hope I don't have to use it ever again, lol!

I wish Jessica looked like a hambeast; it'd make it much easier to be a hater.

Hee hee disaster therapy! FYI Chris, no girl is out of your league, including Jessica Alba... only she is married with a kid... that might be a problem.

I can't believe she LIED to me about being married, all the while with that smile on her face.

I knew there were super powers involved somewhere. My romance is going pretty well just now , I'm so glad I don't need disaster therapy just now, though there have been plenty of disasters around me lately... Lord, I hope that is not the only reason my love life is going great.

lol right on. Always seems like friends are going thru relationship problems all at once. To create a situation for yourself FAR worse than your current problem certainly puts things in perspective :) Though im not to fond of whiteout shots...

Oh sure, it sounds much more interesting than my "Punch Yourself in the Face Repeatedly" therapy, but is it really more effective?

Hmmm yes yes, you are indeed a wise man mister Avellone... And considering my own recent situation, I think I'm gonna take your advice and go stir some shit up with hilarious consequences!
