And Now for Something Completely Different

It's been a little while since I've posted a blog so I'll catch y'all up on what's been going on in my life. I'm in the second week of school and I haven't had much homework yet. I'm sure that'll change as time goes on but for now I'm enjoying it. I'm taking Christian Studies 2, General Psychology, Painting and Drawing, and Computer Generated Design. My favorite class has to be Painting and Drawing by far though. They gave us sketch books so we could doodle in them whenever we want to. I spent an hour or so just drawing my wallet... I wish all my homework was so fun!

And now on to what's different. I suddenly felt the urge to blog about one of my favorite bands, Tool. For the last few weeks I've been mostly listening to electro and ska. For some reason I suddenly got the urge to crank the Tool album Ænima shortly after getting up this morning. I'm still listening to it now! From the opening track, a smile and all around good feeling hasn't left me. The music isn't positive per se, it's more like I've been seeing an old friend from a distance and I'm happy and excited to see them again. Their music is just so much deeper than anything I've ever heard before. From the lyrics right down to the time signature, this music sounds like it was precision engineered for greatness! Tool isn't for everyone and some of the lyrics are downright anti-Christian at times but in my mind it's ok. My faith isn't going to be broken by some rockin music! If you haven't heard any of Tool's music and are interested in finding out more, just hit those links! If you must listen to some tracks, download The Patient from the album Lateralus. You'll thank me later... Have a good hump day!
