I'm trying to get into the habit of blogging daily and I'm hoping these memes assist me with doing so!



This week is a Heads week and the topic is TOOL.



I'm no carpenter of sorts, but I do love music, hence the obvious choice is going to be TOOL, the band.

I was a wide eyed pre-teen in middle school when all of a sudden I decided I was going to broaden my musical horizons and venture into the world of rock. I had a passion of music of all genres (except for country. That love developed much, much later in life) and I became really fascinated with the grunge movement. Bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden were just a few that you could catch me listening to any given afternoon. MTV wasn't the reality show deathpit that it currently is, and I actually would look dearly upon it to provide me with the latest and greatest bands to watch.

And that's when it happened.

I saw this insanely bizarre video that I just could not peel my eyes away from. It was creepy. It reminded me of a morphed version of 'Puppetmaster.' Words like "I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile" and " I want, what I want"resonated in my brain. That's it. I was sucked in and TOOL soon became an addition to my afternoon musical orgy.



To be lame and borrow a quote from 'Grey's Anatomy', Tool is "dark and twisty." The songs of Tool can quickly adapt to my ever changing mood-and today, my favorite TOOL song is Parabola. It reminds me to not let go. Keep holding on and be thankful for what I have. TOOL, thank you.

Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing."
