Quilted
What did I do this weekend? Did I party up until 5? Did I go skinny-dipping? Did I rob a bank? No, what I did was much better. I quilted while listening to Queen. Yes, I knew how to push the limits; I can fell conservative quilters all over the world gasping. My quilt is slowly coming along, but I need more binding. I think a deep red will complement it well. I want, I want, I want to break free. Really I am so sick of college right now. I want to go and just sleep in the grass, and listen to the birds. You know cats know how to live. Hey Boy where’d you get it from. Defying the laws of gravity. I’m burning though the sky. I’m gonna make a supersonic man out of you. Hmmm… what would my grandma think of quilting and Queen. Do you think she would appreciate a good beat? Creative subliminal lyrics… My quilt is not even close to my grandma’s quilts, or my mothers. I have better fabrics, that I dyed myself, but I have no skill at the actual sawing part of it. Give me. Body language. I really should be working on my photo project right now. I have about 300 photos, which I have edited down to 92. I think that they are a good 92 photos, but I need to find out a good way to present them. I don’t want to make them into a book. I kind of to project them onto a backdrop of newspaper to see what it would look like. I’ve got a case of body language. I would have to figure out a way that it fits into the thrift theme, but I think that I would look great. I’ll survive. I’ll survive. I’ll survive. Open up your mind, and let me step inside. All you have to do is fall in love. Play the game. Come on everyone sing with me. Play the game.
Everybody play the game of love. (This Queen song if very Beatles inspired.) I wish there where people as great as Queen in popular culture today. Who do you know of who can be inspired by old-fashioned melody, the Beatles, and 50’s music, and put real hard rock into it. Plus, poetic lyrics, and great voices. People say that hard rock is hard today, but its really just one group of sell outs after another. Even if Queen was faking at least they could rock. I’ve done it. I’ve really done it. Not some three years ago I promised myself that I would not stop listening to pop culture so that I would never be out of date, and say "Way back in the day things where better". Not only have I stopped caring for pop culture, but I’ve also concluded that the music I was listening to then is horrible, and embarrassing. Now I proudly say that I love Classical, and Old-Fashioned hard rock. Plus, I like natural sound, the sounds that surround you as you walk down the street. I’m sure that there are some good sounds out in the world today, but I will let time filter out all the noise. I’m sure in Queen's time, there were many other, similar bands that interfered with Queen’s unquestionable reign. Over time the others disappeared until Queen sang out loud, and clear, the embodiment of an era. When I first heard Queen’s as a young kid I didn’t like them because I didn’t like any band that sang about girl's bums making the world go around. I was so wrong. Since then this theme seems to have caught on. Even though I no longer think Queen is really singing about ‘girls’ with big bum’s. Can anybody find me somebody to love? Really has popular culture lost trick of the power of a good chorus, and I’m not talking about just three girls in the background. The art of the chorus has been developed over centuries. I don’t think that music is an art form that can stand alone in history forgetting about the masters before them. I don’t know of any art that can really do this. I think that most popular artists today need to spend a year of intense music study. Are you ready? Hey.! … another one bite the dust. Bmm Bmm Bmm another one bites the dust. I wander what the music scene is doing nowadays. U know, they sometimes come out with something good. As for me I am a rock, I am an iiiisland. You know what. I think I tend to like music with guys singing more then men. I think I just like the male voice more. I find most female voices annoying, and if they are good then they are most likely singing something that is only called music because there are some talented people playing on instruments in the background.

Tea is right. I cannot look at the Queen the same way now.
