Whaa... Whats that?!!!

Thats...thats Mason Orr's music!!

After an incredibly long hiatus... the blog returns! (Hope everyone enjoys the JR reference above.)

Sooooo much has happened since I last wrote in this, which was back before school started again.
To make a long story short, school began, so did Sing Song, and once again Gamma Sigma Phi took home the gold. Its becomming a winter Abilene tradition right up there with terrible February weather.

Things are rolling along quite nicely in the Key City, classes arent too bad this year.
Sunday is the big day of the Coldplay concert, I am going to try and get a bunch of pictures and have them up on the blog, along with a full review. Get excited.

So what better way to kick off the blog than with attempting to descibe the force that has taken over mine and my friends lives over the past 2 months:

The wonderful world of professional wrestling.

One of the mainstays of my childhood entertainment schedule (out of the eyes of my parents, of course) was tuning into the WWF. Why, all of a sudden, have we become so enamored with it again? Partly it is the Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 PS2 game, to be sure. But my main theory is that pro wrestling is to guys as soap operas are to girls. Both are escapism entertainemnt, where for a few hours we get rrasported to a world of larger than life characters , where there is always a fine line between good and evil. We like this world where if someone has wronged you, you setttle it in the squared circle.
And please don't remind us that its fake... we are aware. But just because the outcome is predetermined doesnt mean the action is any less real. The outcome of every movie in theaters is predetermined. It may be alittle like watching car crashes, but watching these galdiators putting their bodies on the line can sometimes be awe inspiring. I dare you to watch one of the great matches from the WWF archives and not be impressed with the athletic and storytelling ability of those men.

As Andy Kaufmann puts it. "There ain't no drama like wrestling."
