Psychologist says people that listen to heavy metal think more logically and are less stressed than those who don't​

"Heavy metal has been found to lessen negative emotions by reducing cortisol levels, which helps to lessen stress. Research has found that people who listen to heavy metal tend to think more logically and in more complex terms than those who don't listen to heavy metal. Heavy metal has been found to help the most with focus."


I'm gonna have to spin this now

Dang you got hooked up. Crucially you understand the value of the gift. Many don't.

One time one of my friends at work gave me her vinyl. Her's, her ex-husband's, and her husband's vinyl all in one shot. 300 ish records. Her current husband kept his stuff in the closet it was so clean. Mostly mid to late 70's but lots of Zep, Rush, Yes, CCR, all kinds of goodies. That's what set me off on multiple good pressings of certain stuff and selling. That was a seminal moment. I took her out to lunch a few times.

I am always amused by the random subject matters you bring up, so I guess I can't complain when I become the subject matter. You can tell it's the offseason!

You know, I started off as a kid. I always wanted to be great and get lots of attention and laughs, and that has caused a lot of hardship because some people love it, and some people hate it. I'm not good at playing the character I want to portray in life. I try to live by a set of moral principles (who'd did I learn that from?) and I fail often. I despise liars, cheats, and braggarts.

My parents used to kick me out of the house as a kid when PSU games were on. I hated football until I went to PSU.

I'm a dichotomy on purpose; a Pisces that understands that I never want to be just one thing. Analytical and emotional, kind to friends and cruel to enemies, druggy and licensed professional, it goes on and on.

I've been passionate about music since I was rocking out to Wink 104 with my mom as a little kid. Loved Wham! and Huey Lewis and the News. One day I realized I dug Van Halen and ended up buying 1984 and 5150 at the same time. It was clear which direction to go and backwards I went. From there it was on to Led Zeppelin and the Who and all the rest. I love rock music so much. I just want to hear more. I learned guitar to get laid and to get closer to the music. One goal was achieved.

One fun fact, my handle is a nickname I earned for being a badass guitar player at PSU. If you lived in Cedarbrook around the turn of the century I probably annoyed you.

I would like to finish with a special shut-out to all the people on here that I hate on. I hope you all have a nice summer.
Enjoy posts like this where one reveals at least part of his/her inner self. Interesting and well put.
