Ways to Enhance Your Relationship with the Gods of Chance

Advice for those of you who feel as if existence and lack of meaning in life is bearing down on you with uncharacteristic lightness:

+ Tonight (or when it's not raining) intentionally take the long way home. The main thing is to take a different route, preferably one you have not taken before. Extra points for avoiding the freeway.

+ Next time you go to the store, or shopping, etc., park in the farthest parking space from the entrance. Walk SLOWLY to the store. Do not pass anyone on the way in.

+ Take one thing you really like, and this could be clothing, a gift, a CD, etc. and either throw it away or take it down to goodwill. Extra credit if it has high monetary value. Preferably, throw it away.

+ When you go home one night - if this is possible - do not turn on the TV, do not play the radio or music, do not pick up something to read. Sit down on your couch or chair and do nothing. If you fall asleep, it's ok. Staring at the wall or simply the shape of your house is fine.

+ Rearrange furniture in one room of your house/pad. Extra points for doing this randomly, rather than with a big plan.
