Apparently music can benefit human health- hah, who knew? (That was sarcasm). The vibrations can't just help with pain and anxiety, as well as helping with work and homework. I, personally, can agree that the right song allows the juices to flow a lot more fluently. Basically, Neuroscientists have proven that music affects the rewards centers of the brain, releasing dopamine that makes every situation more interesting, and less boring. Sometimes, I even find it hard to read a book or write my own stories without having a tune play in the background. Music may also apparently influence our immune systems efficiency, which I honestly found an interesting fact. Perhaps these songs can quite literally encourage the body to create more antibodies that assist in the killing of disease. In addition to that, music can also help us exercise and memorize. The brain is amazing as itself, but when music is added, its abilities become intensified.

Lysergic acid diethylamide, man. It saved my life- like the author of the article above. I am honestly not sure I would be alive today if I didn't decide to drop acid for the first time. Alright, guys, no bullshit here- one hundred percent from my heart, and I hope that you can understand. You see, I was always an awkward kid, and the only way I found happiness was within that tab. No, I don't decide to take the drug because I happen to be a 'drug addict'. I assure you, I fully understand what I am doing, and why I am doing it. I decide to take the drug because it legitimately helps me push past my awkward tendencies, and to accept my childhood as it was. This isn't a drug at all to me, man: this is an enlightenment, a religion. You don't take acid unless you're looking for an answer, or a solution. I've discovered that people who "freak out" during their trip are often people who already know everything they need to know. You don't take acid if you are content with your life- in the end, those are the people that can't handle its power, or don't fully understand its potential. So, now, to the article: what gives the government the right to tell me not to take this substance after I have personal experience with its life saving properties. I would literally be buried in the ground right now if Lucy wasn't there for me, so what gives you the right to tell me anything? I would tell you to fuck yourself, but the thing about doing as much acid as I have, you learn that aggression is a last resort. So, I will try and be polite about this; the drug can admittedly fall into the wrong hands and throw it, as well as its user, into an unflattering light. Despite that, if LSD is used correctly and in appropriate settings (which is why I prefer to trip alone, in my home) it can prove to be beneficial to not just human depression, but also the human spirit. What gives you the right to tell me that I am wrong when you have never experienced that trip? I won't tell you to fuck yourself, but I will tell the government to fuck off with their pseudo-knowledge on the drug, or at least consider the drugs medical possibilities first before telling me not to do it. To Lysergic acid: thank you, for being there for me when no one else was. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3658764/Texting-gaming-wear-thumbs-say-experts-warn-arthritis-timebomb-40s.html
The link above includes an article about how excessive television and video games can't just affect our joints' abilities to move, but also our grades. Admittedly, students can allow their grades and physical health to drop if they allow themselves to let the device own them- but on my side of things, I think video games and television have taught me more than ever thought possible. I have experienced tons of 'quests' throughout my time as a gamer that involved elaborate puzzle solving- puzzles that surprisingly taught me some crucial critical thinking skills. Get this: Mass Effect Andromeda actually taught me how to do Sudoku by making me do some of these puzzles. And frankly, I actually got pretty good at it. Subsequently, doing so much alien Sodoku ended up making my brain more prone to solving these puzzles easily. The article is more about how excessive texting can affect the thumbs, but my point still stands. Honestly, texting too much and sitting down for dozens of hours playing video games can affect people negatively. Despite that, video games and TV shows still have the potential to teach. http://www.mid-day.com/articles/woman-gives-birth-to-baby-baby-girl-42000-feet-turkish-airlines-flight-weird-news-hatke-news/18151199
Entailed in the link above is an article about how a woman gave birth on a flight while 42,000 feet in the air. The article is frankly short, but regardless the content proves it to be an interesting topic. Interestingly, a woman decides to get on an airplane when she's near the end of her third trimester, and proceeds to give birth on that plane as it is midair. Cool. Alright. I don't even know what to think here- the possibilities of this happening seems quite low, but the universe is known for doing the impossible. I'm wondering more about how it would be like to give birth, let alone give birth in a cramped airplane over 30,000 feet in the air. I'm wondering if being born at such high altitudes effect the details of giving birth, or the condition of the baby as it was pushed out. Just so many questions from so little words, and no letters to fill the gaps. Did the birth take just the amount of time the plane had before landing, or did the pilot have to fly around a bit to let the mother finish her birthing? Some questions are probably better left unanswered. |
