When You Want to Escape From the World
When you want to completely escape from the world, where do you go? What do you do?
For me, it depends how badly I need to escape. Sometimes, the only answer for me is to jump on our four wheeler (ATV) and race through the woods, until I am totally exhausted from riding. The intensity of the ride keeps me from thinking about anything beyond clearing the next corner or avoiding running into a tree.
Other times, just grabbing my camera and heading outdoors looking for a great shot is all it takes.
My favorite summer escape though (which is really about 9 months out of the year here) is just sitting on my front porch for a while, giving me the chance to reflect on those things that really matter in life.
For some reason, when I stop to take the time to remember those things that are most important to me, the day to day aggravations in life suddenly become very trivial.

Escape for me is family and friends.
Spending time with them is really the end goal and everything else is geared towards enabling that. |

To escape:
1. Read
2. Post on forums
3. Read more
4. Play retro games
5. Read even more
6. Lay on the floor

When I need to "escape", its usually escaping from work and responsiblities. So then I guess I like to enjoy a day (or more) at home, or out and about. Or just doing whatever I feel like. A nice day of pampering myself is nice too. I also enjoy painting, its nice and relaxing and can entertain me for hours.
If I am escaping from someone at home, then I go shopping.

Mind altering substances usually do the trick. |

I thought I heard the word shopping  I like to go and I don't even need to "buy" something. I enjoy just looking around, checking out the new stuff, visiting the bookstore, and people watching!! |

I like shopping too.
Sometimes I just go to Best Buy or Dick's just to waste money and time on crap I don't need.
