Pictures, going for a drive, and believe it or not, skydiving is relaxing for me.

Go find the closest DZ, or Drop Zone, to you. Go do a tandem jump to see if you like it and if you do tell them you want your license and they will help you out. Here is a site that will tell you were the closest DZ is to you:

No Problem! It's such an amazing ride falling through the sky. It's awesome! Here are 2 videos for you of me jumping.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O0CyBgkRAo - That is when I was still in training.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FZPDZaWL5s - The first one was a 9 way tracking jump i did. And the Second video in that one is my checkout jump to get my "A" License. I am in the white shirt. The guy in the green jump suit and red helmet is my dad. LOL

Building model cars is especially relaxing, it's my winter hobby because it keeps me sane through all those cold months. And if you are obsessive about details (like me) than you can spend weeks on one model, and its CHEAP! try it, its fun.

ya Cheng. u defenitely stress urself out to the max - Im the same way.

i know uve been hitting the weights & the bag a bit for exercise..
but for something low impact - try Running, or jogging.
exercise is definitely a great stress reliever.

as for something to just relax & take ur mind of things..
I LOVE THE DRIVING RANGE ! it cost less than $10, and is great
just to go & take ur mind off things for a bit. Even better when u go w/ a
few friends.

plus ur buddy Kriptonic was like a varsity golfer or something wasnt he lmao

we should head out to the driving range sometime bro...
