Disturbed Yet Happy

Today, a prompt from the NaBloPoMo website: What do you do to cheer yourself up?

I have a few methods, but most of them rely on me being in only a moderately bad mood. I have only one way that's guaranteed to solve whatever foul, miserable mood I throw at it.

Disturbed.

The band, that is. I don't know what it is about their music that manages to miraculously cure whatever's wrong with me, but it does. I could be flat-out homocidal, suicidal, ready to fall asleep where I stand, anything. And then I'll put on some Disturbed and bang, everything's okay again. Something about the beats, David Draiman's voice, how the music encourages me to sing along until my throat's raw and all the emotional poison's been worked out of my system. I love it, and I love this band.
