How do you do de-slump?

I am stuck in a slump, snow is falling, and I am happy to contemplate the idea of being stuck in the house with the family for a few days.

But, since right now its just mopey me and the sleeping baby, I had to find a way to de-slump myself, and came across this:



This video excited me, and took me back to another time. It's an introduction to a newly released skate video, fully flared. It is amazing to watch really, and I want to order 10 copies instantly and give them to all my friends.

It also makes me want to give a shout out to my junior high school friends Grant Steinhouser and Eric Fuchs. mmm...... good memories. I always loved you guys, even though we went in different directions pretty early on.

I also missed the 2007 announcement of 20th anniversary Public Enemy album "How You Sell Soul To A Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul?. You know, I listened to Public Enemy some as kid, but lost track of what they were doing pretty early on. I think I have a new found respect for what they have done within the music industry, and want to listen more, and this time really listen.



So, what do you do to de-slump?
