I'm talking about Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, The Chiffons, and others from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. I have a hard time staying angry when I hear the Andrews Sisters' "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." For some reason, this type of music is calming to me,even though I usually prefer music you'd commonly find on the radio today.

I managed to find an inflatable punching bag for adults. I'm struggling with setting it up (I spent half an hour blowing it up only to find that I was supposed to put water in the base -- to weight it down and keep it from flying everywhere -- *before* blowing it up. I was NOT a happy camper when I realized it.) But in theory, taking my anger out on a punching bag will allow me to take out my anger safely and provide a source of exercise. I'll be able to punch the bag again and again until I wear myself out.
I will have to try out listening to music. i hear you on the punching bag that re reason my niece took out my punching bag because she disapprove of the water.
