Social Science Escapism

[carn tigez]

Apart from that, work and Uni do the job. Too busy and have to focus to hard, especially with work to think about reality outside work/Uni.

Pretty sure the requirement to '"focus too hard" on work and uni is what you are escaping from. Dunno if you can count it as a form of escapism..

Music, footy, tv, late night walks by the beach.

Pretty much do the regular things. Sport, TV, surf the net, listen to music, have a few beers, walk the dog etc.

Well, I guess it does depend on what you're escaping from. If I was escaping from one of those two things it obviously wouldn't help If that is what I am escaping from it would be footy, music etc.
If I am trying to escape from other crap that might be going on in my life, Uni and work do the trick.

Video Games are my go to. They're the best things to really take your mind somewhere else. I'll also trawl the internet on different forums and sites but that doesn't quite take you out of this world like games do.

Love a nice long run or walk while listening to music. Always helps me clear my head.

grabbed a footy and went for a kick for about an hour and a half this morning, no phone, no music, was brilliant. Birds chirping, dogs barking, milfs doing cardio tennis. I do have to say my set shot routine needs some serious work though.

Went down to Vic Park yesterday and did the same. Pretty awful day for set shots though, I was spraying absolutely everything... I'll blame it on the quasi-deflated footy, though... But football, both watching and playing, is definitely a good one. Most of the time you're pissed off about a decision, a player, the score, or feeling absolutely exhausted – yet it's still good fun.

Use to be out bush running amok in cars..

Footy just doesn't do it for me. I mean, it's alright, but if Hawthorn win or lose, it has no bearing on my weekend at all.

Interesting.

Without pulling this discussion too far up our red-winning-sipping orifices, I think art is an intrinsic indicator.

Certain art is pretty dependent on my mood. And that's not to say it's good or bad because of its reliance on emotion and perspective and place. But the impact is has on me tends to make me think about my life. And if, in my pampered existence, that's 'bad,' then I end up feeling worse.

But what's that quote about, in yer youth, feeling bad feels as good as it does to feel good?

Basically, sad art can be just as enjoyable as distractive art. Maybe just feeling something is escapism in itself.

By escapism if you mean the need to chill and recalibrate then stuff at hand, like reading surfing the net for areas of interest, cooking a meal, TV, DVDs,footy on the weekends.

If you mean the need to escape the world or whatever circumstances and totally forget about everything than alcohol.

I can sit in silence and just enjoy how quiet it is
I can listen to music and just chill (sometimes dance or sing along
Since December i have been doing more heavy duty exercise routines (90 minutes - 2 hours of a morning, at least 90 minutes in the afternoon/night), for the most part it is running while listening to music. This helps clear my mind of whatever i am going through (well i have to maintain some thought process, so i don't get run over when crossing traffic lights ).

 

[Roobs321]

Exercise most effective, whether getting those endorphins going after a jog, or just going for a walk whilst listening to your ipod. If I start to feel the suffocation of routine, I do this.

I dont really need pure escapism anymore, I generally like my life, and fairly busy as well. Before transition, I would live part-time as my true self for escapism I guess.

Art for me too, good art books always improve my mood
My one never fail cheer-up is the Blues Brothers DVD

Surf the net, watch tv shows/anime, Play Xbox or take a walk with my ipod up full. So nothing unusual I guess.
