Discourses from the Cauldron

After staying up until 3:30 in the morning writing a commentary on a Journal Article concerning the importance of studying music in a social context, I now sit, four hours of sleep and 3 hours of class later. As I rest in the balcony above the G-mac pool, I listen to "It's Raining Men" and watch people participate in water aerobics. I am inclined to study this phenomena and discover the reasons that one would (a) participate in such an activity and (b) participate in it more than once a week. I have 11 pages of readings that would say that studying this would be important. After 25 years of nagging curiosity, I have finally realized that some situations should not be questioned. This is not because the answers may be unpleasant or unattainable. It is because if we knew why we would even entertain the thought of listening to "It's raining Men" while aqua-sizing, we would likely avoid such situations and humanity would lose some great moments of spectator amusement.
Therefore, I publicly thank senior citizens for their choices in Tuesday morning activities and research psychologists for keeping us in the dark.
