Sometimes I dream about just letting all my anger out in one big hurricane. I can't indulge in this dream too often, or else it gets me all revved up and psyched, but I think about it every now and then. I dream about a room that has been specifically set up for the purpose.. black walls, black curtains, low but charismatic lighting, "workstations" set up around the room that are various things to let anger out on. The room would be soundproofed so I could scream or smash anything until my heart is content. Dummies set up as people, with voice boxes inside them that respond when you attack the dummy. Fake blood inside the dummy somehow. Angry, heavy metal music playing at a very high volume - i even know the exact songs I would have on. Maybe even a big wall set up so that i can throw red paint at it however I feel the urge. A room of destruction. But safe destruction so that nobody is hurt and nobody is at risk of anything (other than me getting carried away and breaking a hand or whatever).

Sometimes I think that if there was a room out there like that, I would be cured of this 31 year depression. It would only take me about an hour or so, but I would be well and truely cured. But I pity the fool that would have to clean it up afterwards! (probably would be me, lol)

I always thought it would be profitable to put "Anger Stations" that provide these services right by gas stations on really congested freeways. People could pull off break as much thrift store garbage as they like for a fee. Different anger fantasy theme rooms like a cheesy motel but way better with different settings. Special request settings for the discerning and wealthy customers.

There are problems with the business model. There would be a lot of liability; waivers would have to be signed, appropriate safety equipment provided. I'd definitely want to steer clear of any hate crime scenarios. Non representational objects would probably the wisest route. Then there would be the other problem of guaranteeing the safety of employees when working with a rage filled populace. So I guess what I'm saying is you're not the only one that's given this quite a bit of thought.

That is a great idea having them at gas stations on the highway. But yeah you're right... there would be a lot of rules and regulations and paper trail type stuff if we wanted to pull this off in the real world We'd have to get workcover to come in and assess the place, occupational health and safety etc lol. We'd probably end up having to wear football gear to pad up our body just in case we might get an injury etc. But still. A girl can dream!

I had a nap after this post and had the best dream. It was like I was at university and there was a riot. Lots of action.

I like the idea of a plaster room. Plaster floor, plaster walls, plaster furniture.

Ohh i LOVE the plaster idea! Good thinking! You could smash the whole place to bits and it would certainly do the job.
