Besides that part 

I agree with everything he said besides that part

Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? 

It's a phrase to highlight someone missing the point, purposefully or otherwise. It doesn't matter how good the play was, Mary Todd Lincoln watching her husband and then President of the United States Abraham Lincoln get shot in the head right beside her overshadows everything. It could have been the best acting ever but that's not what she was focusing on or what she'll remember.
In reference to the Aurora shootings
Person 1: "Oh my God, that's awful! Was the movie any good, at least?"
Person 2: "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

In reference to a controversial person
Person 1: "Yeah, Mike's an alcoholic, a tax cheat, beats his kids, and is a pathological liar – but other than that, he's pretty cool."
Person 2: "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

Things that no one in the US knows about, since so many pathetic fanboys are obsessed with DBZ.

Me: Can you name any of Akira Toriyama's other works?

DBZ fanboy: Umm... uh... Vegeta rocks!!

Me: (sigh)

a phrase that sounded philosophical to me in my head and has no meaning
cool cat 420: there are no rules in our cult besides the ones we make

cool cat 69: LMAO NOPE!

Beside myself 

Extreme joy, anger, etc, brought on by a situation that causes one to be "out of one's mind" with that emotion.

"Beside" was formerly (15th through 19th centuries) used in phrases to mean "out of a mental state or condition, as 'beside one's patience, one's gravity, one's wits'" (Oxford Engl. Dict.), and that use survives only in "'beside oneself': out of one's wits, out of one's senses."
I was so beside myself looking at all the women on the beach that I didn't hear my wife yelling for help.

You're getting beside yourself 

My Grandma was Southern born and raised, so a lot of Southern Dialect , sayings and nuances were little lessons throughout my life. One of those sayings that I favored is " You're getting besides yourself"- My grandma would say this to me anytime she felt I was trying to "show off", "Act up" or get "too cutesy". It was a soft way of saying, "get back in line", or "get yourself together", "humbly thyself". It is usually used by someone elder or maternal/paternal, is helpful and surely is an expression of love!
You better stop misbehaving young lady, you're getting beside yourself...
