I enjoy watching TV at night and just like a lot of people out there I follow certain shows. Tonight I was watching one of my shows (a hit series on NBC) and during the commercial break there was the topic for the news headlines that were coming up at 11. This topic was about the male figure and how man boobs were a either a cosmetic problem or a physical one. Now this is not the first story that I have seen like this.

I don’t understand how people think sometimes. When was the time were people stopped taking responsibility for their actions and just found the easy way out. It is not hard to understand that you need to eat right and exercise to be a healthy person. This has become such a big part of our society about all aspects of life and it is driving me crazy. 

A couple of years ago I watched a movie called “Idiocracy”. This movie was about the future of America and how it got to a world full of idiots. When I first saw this movie I thought I was just watching a very horrible comedy but when I look at it now I can see the message, we as a society are becoming idiots. After seeing tonight headline story for the 11 o’clock news I agree with this movie’s message. 

Whats your pump up song? What is the song that once it comes on in your car you sign every word on the top of your lunges? 

This song that you are thinking of is the same song that puts you in a state of mind that is ready for anything. What is it about this song that makes us feel this way? Is it the lyrics, the beat, or maybe the memories that come from it?

Our mind is a powerful tool. This song that you are thinking of is the trigger to this feeling that overcomes your whole body. Now my question is, why does it have to be a song that does this to ourself?

Next time that you have a task in front of you, maybe its a workout, try to find a trigger to get into this state of mind. Get crazy, excited, pumped up, and get shit done. 

Just incase you didn’t have a song, here is one of mine(last post).
