I play lots of sevendust when I’m pissed off. Any and all emotions that I feel will eventually be converted to “pissed off”, so I suppose that’s the answer for all of them. And Staind/Fred Durst “Outside”, but that’s only because the song makes me want to commit quick and painless suicide. (No, I’m not actually going to, it just makes me feel that way.)

Once I had such a bad day, and it was topped off by finding out my bank screwed up my checking account so I was overdrawn. I took an extra cd jewel case I had lying around, tossed it into the middle of my room, put on “Break Stuff” and smashed the crap out of it with a hockey stick. It felt great.
