Just Thinking

It is a wonder that I still somehow can hang with the students. Sunday night I went to a Christian hardcore show. For those of you readers who do not know what hardcore music is check out the link http://www.purevolume.com/theblackregiment (one of the bands at the show). Needless to say this is some crazy stuff. I was entertained not only by shredding guitars, crashing drums, and the vocalist who mainly screams, but entertainment also came as teenagers hardcore danced. It pretty much involves swinging of arms, kicking of legs, banging of head, and all while maintaining a two step rhythm. Here is the the thought - who thought of this? It really ponders me. Don't get me wrong I have definitely grown very fond of this music. It makes up about 30% of my ipod, but I want to meet the first screamer, and I want to ask him, "So were you singing and then someone scared you or you just magically tried it." I also want to meet the first hardcore dancer. "So were you in karate class and the screamer guy showed up and you both were like, millions of people will love this." a thought
