She announced a couple weeks back that she has decided that she wants to be a punk... LOL yea I should have seen that one coming. I still listen to heavy rock, love things with skulls, no I'm not your typical suburban mom. Am I worried, no not really, she is just trying to stretch her wings and find her place. Her thoughts don't run in the same patterns as ours so I'll let her do what she wants, with a few guidelines of course. (no we are not painting your room black and no you are not getting any tattoos or piercings until you are 18)To be honest, I would rather her be listening to Avril Lavigne, Billy Talent and Spyderbait then Brittany or Madonna. I don't say that out loud of course because teenage rebellion is just around the corner and I'm not giving her any extra ammunition or ideas.
So back to my original thought. For fun on my other writing blog I post here and there about about songs that inspire me. "The Ride of the Valkyries" from Die Walkure, beyond a doubt is one. I vaguely remember my mum putting it on and telling me to close my eyes and imagine what the music was telling me. I would lay on the living room floor and visualize viking women on horseback, leaping from mountain top to mountain top, lightening bolts piercing the skies above them, lighting their way.
I's a very primitive sounding piece, and I don't mean that in a negative way. The music is raw and powerful there is no synthetic electronic mixing. A piece like this is best playing on natural classical instruments. This isn't the only song I remember from my childhood. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg is another one.Is it any wonder that as I got older my musical tastes leaned towards similar styles?
So all that heavy metal I drove my mum nuts with when I was a teenager. Mum, it was all your own fault. LOL

Oh boy I wish I had a digital camera when you used to crimp your hair like the Bride of Frankenstein I could use it now to show your daughter...I will take responsibility for Edvard Grieg and the Valkyries but not the heavy metal.
Remember the "Mother's Curse?" "One day your children are going to do to you ......." lol
You weren't as bad as you would like to think you were. I knew inside you were a pretty terrific person and time would tell. I think your an amazing Mom. I am taking some credit for that.

Is there a list of stuff on the backs birth certificates that moms all over the world are required to say?
Got a variation from my mom. "I hope your kids do just half the stuff you did..."
