Music is Unfathomable

Music is one of the most powerful forces in the world. For example, have you ever noticed how much music impacts a person? When you listen to songs that you loathe, you get aggravated, when you listen to songs you love, it can help you focus. When you are feeling depressed, music can cheer you up or make you feel worse. If you have lost someone close to you or have just gone through a messy break-up, there is music that can help you get through it. They is also music that is just about the things you are going through. I remember a few months before I wrote this, my friend invited me to go bowling with his mom, his mom's boyfriend, and himself. I tagged along, and for the two full games that we played, I bowled worse than I have bowled in my entire life. On the last frame of the last game, I turned on my iTouch and listened to a song from my favorite band, Anberlin. The first two balls I rolled down the lane, smashed all of the pins down for two strikes. The last throw I knocked down nine. It can not be just a coincidence that I start bowling unbelievably, the moment I start listening to one of my favorite songs from my favorite band. It is hard to fathom that music, that is always around us, is able to help humans like that. Just think about it.

Professional Wrestling Fans

If you are a professional wrestling fan (WWE, TNA, WSX, or any others) you probably get many people picking on you about it. You probably hear "Wrestling is gay, its just men in tights." Or "Why do you watch that fake garbage?" Well, I get that all the time, what is funny to me is some of the points you use to counter this. When a person says that wrestling is just men in tights, think of all the other sports that are just men in tights. Examples are: most Olympic sports, football, UFC, and others. The reaction I get every single time I point that out is, "Well that is different." Which it really is not... If somebody asks you why you watch fake fighting, ask them why they watch television. Obviously most television is fake, fictional characters, plots, fighting scenes, weapons, and people. Or you can use the case that it is impossible for it all to be fake, which is also a true statement. I use the example of one of the craziest World Wrestling Entertainment matches of all time. The Undertaker versus Mankind in a Hell in a Cell match. After the match is called off, Mankind was trying to get away from The Undertaker and climbs to the top of the twenty foot high steel cell. The Undertake, then, grabs Mankind and throws him off of the cell! A twenty foot fall onto five inch think padding. When I have used this statement, I have never gotten any type of rebuttal what so ever.
