BAND of the Week
I am dedicating this to my sportsman, cause this is one of his favorite bands. (even though he won't be reading my blog to see this dedication- ha ha ha)
Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1990.
Tool has been described, as a "thinking persons metal band."
During the 1980s, each of the future members of Tool moved to Los Angeles.

Danny Carey- Drums
Adam Jones- Guitar
Maynard James Keenan- Vocals
Justin Chancellor- Bassist
Early on, the band fabricated the story that they formed because of the pseudophilosophy "lachrymology".
Although "lachrymology" was also explained to be an inspiration for the band's name, Keenan later explained their intentions differently:
"Tool is exactly what it sounds like: It's a big dick. It's a wrench.... we are... your tool; use us as a catalyst in your process of finding out whatever it is you need to find out, or whatever it is you're trying to achieve."
After only a few performances, the band was approached by record companies, and only three months into their career they signed a record deal with Zoo Entertainment.
Tool emerged with a heavy metal sound on their first studio album Undertow in 1993, and later became a dominant act in the alternative metal movement with the release of their second effort, Ænima, in 1996.
Their efforts to unify musical experimentation, visual arts, and a message of personal evolution continued with Lateralus (2001) and the most recent album 10,000 Days (2006), gaining the band critical acclaim and success around the world.
Due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and relatively long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of progressive rock and art rock.
The relationship between the band and today's music industry is ambivalent, at times marked by censorship and the band members' insistence on privacy.
In an interview conducted in May 2007, Justin Chancellor stated that the band would probably continue their tour until early 2008 and then "take some time off". He qualified this statement by adding that the band has already written new material and would surely release another album at some point down the road.
On hiatus since early 2008, Tool was expected to begin writing a new album sometime in 2009, according to Keenan, but gave no details on a possible release date.
Album Artwork
Adam Jones is responsible for most of the band's artwork concepts. Later albums included artwork by collaborating artists.

Green Beans, Is where it's at baby!
Me, Me, Me!
Everyday for lunch I have ½ a turkey sandwhich, on 7 grain wheat bread. That’s it. Nothing else. I also have a mini can of green beans. (cold) and a small cup of cottage cheese. Y U M
Doesn’t that sound like an awesome lunch? I know your thinking freakin boring right?
That’s alright, I'm about to fill you in on why you should be eating them everyday.
Here is why Green beans are the best.
Where you aware that you can eat all the green beans you freakin want and not put on a pound? Not only are they super low in calories, they are loaded with all kinds of important nutrients.
Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Manganese, fiber, potassium, iron,and folate. They are a good source of omega 3, niacin, copper, riboflavin, calcium, protein, thiamin, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Vitamin K provides 122% of the daily allowance in just one cup.
Did you know that a deficiency in Vitamin K, can cause heavy menstrl periods, gastrointestinal bleeding, nose bleeds, anemia, gum bleeding, prolonged clotting times, easy brusing, calcification of soft tissue, easy fractures, hemotomas and osteoporosis.
That is some scary shit. Who knew Vitamin K was so freakin important?
So shame on all of you who make fun of me everyday for eating my lovely Green Beans!I’m sure you’re wondering why I know all this shit about green beans? Research Baby! And Cause with my Lupus I have a Vitamin K deficiency.
I will say it again, You have to be your own advocate when it comes to your health.
Few foods compare to Green Beans in their number of helpful nutrients.
One would think that with me being the kind of person that likes a lot change in my life, that I would get really freakin ass bored with eating this same lunch every single day.
The fact that I have lost weight is just one of the incentives. Besides, who doesn’t want all those freakin awesome nutrients?

NOPE, not the case.

and
Green Beans really do taste g r e a t!
You should sooooo give them a whirl.
Waffel much?
I however am true to my word. When I give you my word on something.
You can count on me!
I just don’t deal well with the waffeling of others .
Call it what you like, willy nilly, wavering, flip flop, beat around the bush, put off, sidestep, or flounder.
They all mean the same fucking thing. Non-committal.
I really really h a t e that.
With me things are cut and dry/ Black or white.
I'm not saying this is right but this is how I view things.
This is ME.
So when I make plans with someone to do something , This is ME.
I want to know the when and where.
Not a ho -hum reply.
I am all about being clear on information. It’s either a yes or a no.Even though I give a maybe here and again. If you have read me for very long you know that me saying “maybe” is really my nice way of saying NO.
I also don’t think being non-committal in a relationship is the same thing. In my opinion if you have said up front your not into committing to any one person. Then you have given a definate answer. There is no waffeling there.
I have a friend that waffels all the time. It drives me crazy. But I still love her anyways.
Do you know anyone who is a waffler?
