"I could take you to Atlantis..."

I am finding increasingly that I am becoming hooked on the WWE... and yet I am at a loss to explain why its entertaining.

The World Wrestling Entertainment Corporation... Industry... whatever... usually doesn't appeal to... college-aged girls from the North East... but holy crap, it is so entertaining. My little brother is the one that started me on this mess, because he wanted someone to watch it with him. At first, I disliked it... and then... I found it amusing... and now... I watch it regularly. And it's not that I'm a particularly violent person (I won the Hippie award in Elementary School people!), or that I like watching men wrestle in sparkley undies (this I normally would find appealing, except most of the men in the WWE are... a little too buff and a little to hopped up on steroids to be really attractive.)

I think that what really draws me to it is the absurdity of it all. It is strange, and because it is so completely out of the ordinary... its refreshing. And its comforting to know, that most of it is scripted. So you can enjoy the good people beating up the bad people knowing that its all gonna be okay. Its like a fairy tale for boys. With a lot more punching and a lot less romance.

(Rey Mysterio, my brother's favorite Superstar)

On a completely unrelated note... there is an awesome artist known as Mark Aaron James out in the internet and music world... and I am trying desperately to find out more about him, and where I can get his song Aquaman's Lament. You see, internet, this is a fairly spectacular song, and I would very much like a copy to put on my iPod. If you haven't heard of him or any of his songs yet, I urge you to google him and check out his work. It is top notch. (This blog title, is the start of a line from Aquaman's Lament.)

Hi, Mark Aaron James here. Very complimented that you like my song, although, not sure it holds the same meaning after you admit to loving the WWE. (Nah, that's still OK). Anyway, most of my music is on iTunes if you're still looking for it. Thanks for the shout out.
