I'm A Libra...

as you can tell, i haven't been here in a couple of days. i just didn't bother with it because other things were going on at the time and, well, blogging isn't that important when it comes to spending time with family. so yeah, anyway the weekend was good and i enjoyed all of it. i went to a powwow in el reno saturday and watched fireworks sunday despite the rain. yes, it rained all weekend and is still going strong, but has moved more up north and to the east. (i could tell by how the leaves blew across the yard and the smell of the clouds. super NATIVE skillz yo!!!) so for today i went shopping and scored some new summer clothes. i grabbed two pairs of shorts and two polo type shirts. they were all faded looking colors and my usual style. i think on wednesday i'll look for some new shoes. maybe some slip-on's...

a little friend of mine mentioned this next band in comparison to a cd i got for her birthday. (White Pony) the band she named dropped was one i'd forgotten for some reason and that's my bad because they were stellar. that band is A Perfect Circle.



a perfect circle was/is the side project of maynard james keenan from Tool and his buddies, drummer josh freese from The Vandals among MANY other projects, and guitarist billiy howerdel who is also in the band Ashes Divide. notable past members include james iha from The Smashing Pumpkins, jeordie white who played with Marilyn Manson and danny lohner who has worked with Nine Inch Nails, Skrew and Killing Joke. so as you can see, it's a music fan's wet dream. the amazing talent contained here made this project excellent and that all lasted for two albums. (let's skip the covers album shall we???)

as of right now, the band is currently on hiatus i think. actually, according to wikipedia they are making a fourth album, so who knows. but anyway, here's the music for ya. two albums worth your time with the titles of Mer De Noms and Thirteenth Step. both are of high quality and showcase a more mellow, yet dramatic side to maynards usual routine of angst and emotional outrage. oh, and they were even more awesome live. i saw them with The Mars Volta back in 2003. good times...

Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same

Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through,
See you naked but oblivious

And you don't see me

But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy

Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see, see through it all
See through, see you

'Cause I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy

Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing,
Apparently nothing at all

You don't, you don't
You don't see me

You don't, you don't
You don't see me

You don't, you don't
You don't see me

You don't, you don't
You don't see me

You don't see me

You don't, you don't
You don't see me at all
