I want to be Lemmy

DARLINGS!

I watched a movie that wrecked my brain in the most phenomenal way!

Lemmy. The movie. Here it is:

Backstory: Lemmy Kilmister is the lead singer of the band Motörhead. Lemmy was metal before metal existed and has lived life the only way he knows how, as a goddamn renegade of rock. Without Lemmy, there would be no Motörhead. Without

MY MOM JUST YELLED, "WHOOO! THAT GIRL'S GOT PASSION, DOESN'T SHE???"

I don't know why I said that in capslock. Only I was so excited after reading your blog. I had to read it aloud. It is 8:30 in the morning and I am saying things like, "I admire the fuck out of people who go their own way and keep at it, even when no one is looking," in my kitchen, to my mother.

BECAUSE YOU ROCK! YOU ARE SO AWESOME!

YOU ARE MORE AWESOME THAN LEMMY! Even he would say as much, if he knew you. Of course, you would demur. That would be expected, but secretly, you know. YOU KNOW!

Because you were born in the world AFTER Rock and Roll.

Now... Can you remember the world before punk? Because I think you were there. Or were you born under a punk star?

Know why this blog is good? Because I wrote it to you as a letter first. It is in the mail, right now. It is a little bit more wordy, but yep.

Punk happened in the mid-70s, so it was a bit before my time. Closest I got is, I remember a time BEFORE THE INTERNET! Weird. Before the Internet. That's a strange one. Talk abt a game changer.

Now that's FRIKKIN HILARIOUS!

It's strange how much blogs change, isn't it, based on if you're addressing them like a private epistle!

I LOVE IT! I will LOVE to read your letter! It will make me excited ALL OVER AGAIN!

It's that whole idea of I apparently seem to do better writing when I have an audience at least in mind. I guess i like to woo you, Ms. Claire, and therefor my words come out more interesting. o.o!

"I want to make my own goddamn way with my integrity and creative vision in tact, even if the climb is slow and the money scarce."

THIS!!!!!!

You inspire me the same way Lemmy inspires you. Thank you for that.
