A while ago, I brought home this really awful book,
Are The Kids All Right?; something I found in the free section of my library. It's this patronizing, indignant novel cataloging the "satanical", "brainwashing" effects of kids being exposed to hard rock. It was written in the 1970s. I have now realized that it's a bad idea to get books from the free section...UNLESS you're in the mood to turn something disgustingly bad into something kind of, sort of awesome.

Said book in all its glory

I decided to start ripping out pages and turning them into banners, paper cranes, etc.

| I'm thinking I'll do some sort of stop motion with all these cranes soon. |
As I was skimming through the novel, I stumbled on this really great quote. I read it completely out of context so it was probably just something a guitarist said to a drummer, but I took it to mean something kind of profound.
"Our eternal goal in life is to get louder." How great is that? Maybe I should give the ranty book a second chance? I think I'll just continue belting out Arcade Fire whilst ripping out pages.
Beautiful quote. Nothing is scarier to me, now that I am an adult, than the thought that the youth of America are listening to noises organized in pleasing patterns at volumes of which I do not approve.

Beautiful cranes, quote, and idea! To me, that would have been just another normal sentence in a book, but you turned it into something wonderful!
