What do you do to disconnect yourself from life?

Walking in the rain when the streets have been cleared of most other humans. Go down to the river and watch the ducks. Have a fag. Get soaked. Go home. Put on pjamas and watch something good. Food and drink supplies neccessary.
I love rain.

When I want to get away from life I have this ritual which, when done correctly, is guaranteed to get results.

First I get my favourite ice-cream from the freezer and prepare a bowl. I like to add some drinking chocolate to jazz it up a bit. This part depends on an individual's taste and any ice-cream will do.

Then I set up my foot spa. I like it to be quite warm so that I can leave my feet there for 90 minutes or so.

For entertainment, I pick out a good movie and set it up. It should be ready to play without having to get up from my seat after getting my feet wet.

Finally, I fetch some beer, tobacco, other stuff and some long cable-ties. I prepare my exotic cigarette, start it up, stick my feet into the foot-spa, press play and then tighten a cable-tie around my neck. It starts out quite relaxing but then it gets intense after a minute. Then after a few moments as I fight the urge to loosen the cable-tie, I completely disconnect myself from life, never to return.

Put on my headphones and go for a game of golf. Nothing more relaxing.

Drink a lot of wine while watching comedies.

That is very, very manly for someone with your username.

I generally go for a long walk home from work (go well out of the way and back), do some people-watching, maybe have a pint or two with the paper. If at home, I get out and about. When you say disconnect from life, usually people mean "disconnect from what's in my head", so I just go outside where there's any number of things I wouldn't have witnessed by sitting in.

JerryHandbag

Long walks on mountain trails, as remote as possible.

Ruu_Old

Running out on country roads.

Biggins

Stick on a sci-fi film, read, occasionally go somewhere interesting and use my camera.

Gummy Panda

sit on the toilet

Cee-Jay-Cee

Go out to the garage and potter about at the car or try fix something thats broken and usually end up breaking it more but its stress free and relaxing.

I find that's a good thing alright.

One can get really absorbed in a task.


They say, as you get into middle age you either choose God or the Garden.

I chose the Garden.:D

Corofin Banner

Porn and whiskey

Warper

Get wasted

have you tried unplugging the tv?

I've not .. That would surely spell death??

Latchy

I'm pretty good at distracting or loosing myself in some way, shape or form be it in a book ,a movie or some music .The productive side of me will fix or mend something or it might be something physical and simple like cleaning the windows . A nice few pints or a few bottles of wine in good company is a bonus disconnection .

texidub

Chop my head off.

charlemont

The Herb and the Hash..

Big Nasty

Few naggins? Be grand!

Hercule Poirot

Stick on some random shooting xbox game, switch it to the easiest level possible and shoot the sh1t out of mindless, endless waves of moronic CPU enemies - highly therapuetic!!

Eve_Dublin

Drink a bottle of wine and clean my apartment

or

stick on my headphones, play some tunes and go for a long walk.

CapriSunFun

Alcohol and origami.
Not together though, that wouldn't turn out the best.
And when I'm stressed from exams and want to zone out for a while I cook. Even if it means baking rock solid inedible muffins, it really helps me disconnect.

karaokeman

Listen to Noel Gallagher.

Novella

I take a really long shower, go to bed and catch up on any tv I've wanted to watch but have missed (and there is always quite a list). Or else I just sleep. That's pretty disconnected.

Rylan

A warm pitch black room. Absolute silence. Comfy armchair. Cold Bottle of beer. Cigarette.

pragmatic1

Some codeine, a few beers, cigarettes and good music.
