Other than the internet and playing guitar or video games, what do you do to get your mind off things when the world is sucking the life from you? Any ideas would be appreciated.

You just cited every single thing I do short of going to the gym, raping myself physically, or going medieval on someone's face.
I'd recommend either of the two above though. They work fantastically.

Reading, writing, putting on headphones and not taking them off for the entire day. Driving. Cooking. Watching movies continuously. I wouldn't, but you could paint, sculpt, tinker with random devices. Wash your car. Run. Play music and sing as loudly as possible. Have gay sex. Have a baby. Eat a baby. Have gay sex with baby. Call a friend. Call a few friends. Visit friend(s). Hump a light post. Visit random stores with no intention of buying anything. Go hiking. Swimming. Frolic around in a park. Choke a bitch. Quote the Juggernaut video. Haze. Commit hate crimes. Stare at the sun. Stare at the stars. Stare at porn. Stare at the clouds and see what figures you are able to pick out in them. There are thousands of possibilities, Steve, but unfortunately, I usually end up sacrificing all of them for the Internet. I plan to stop that.

Yeah same here, and I just left off going to the gym cause it's something I do anyways.
Seriously considering just getting in a fight. That would feel great aside from the jail time.

I workout, or just listen to music. Hang around with some friends, or maybe a lady friend. OR I get piss drunk.

Whenever I feel like that, and I want to take my mind off things,
I take my dog for a long hike, call my friends over seas, go to see a movie ALONE (going to the movies by yourself is so great sometimes, you should try it), call my local friends to see if they want to have coffee, do something in my house that needs to be done and I never have time for, work in my yard,
go to the gym to take out steam for about 2 hours of intense workout,
drink wine and read a stupid magazine, go for a long walk with my camera and take random pictures....
hmm... thats what I do.
hope you'd feel better, whatever that might be Steve!
Edit: I was trying so hard to think of the "unusual" things I do, that I forgot my main thing...
I paint. a lot.

i started yet another new story this morning, then my computer spazzed out and shut down and, of course, doesn't have automatic recovery. so i lost the first page and a half (so i had to start it all over again, and beginnings are always the toughest parts for me to write). got really, really pissed, and started it over again.
while it started out frustrating, it can kinda be theraputic. when it comes to stuff i write and then lose, i try to remember that it's never losing anything, just being given an oppurtunity to do it over better. i've been feeling really shitty for the past few months, and my writing is pretty much the only thing that really comes through in making me feel better.
everyone has that one thing for them.

haha, my friend and i toked up before one of the 57 award ceremony/graduation practice/equally pointless things the school still owns our souls for even though we've finished all of our classes and it was pretty much the only way i could've sat through it. it was just the same 5 people winning awards and singing for 3 hours. :zombie:
See, my problem is, most of the time when Im in a bad mood/need to get my mind off something, Im fucking working. Working tends to make the problem all the more agonizing and make the day seem to drag on forever for me, so theres really nothing I can do but browse message boards and post nonsense to pass the time.

At least you have a computer at work. I perform physical, menial, mind-drudging work. And my mind is where I try and escape to. I create wonderful fantastic scenarios and hide there.

My critters help me when I'm having a shitty day..like right now. I just sit and watch my goldfish wiggle, or I hold my hamsters or Sand Boa. Taking care of my pets makes me feel better, too. If I'm really upset, I take a hot bath, watch invader zim (or one of my adult swim tapes), make some artsies, go to the beach by myself or go to sleep (sometimes on the beach).
Sometimes I clean the apartment...or I go to school and stay there all day.
