Last night, Kris, a friend of mine, brought me to a friend's place. I was supposed to go home but he told me they were writing a metal song. Due to the irresistible temptation I came along.
Ayo's place was pretty cool. The studio was not that grand but it was more than enough to accommodate a whole band, and his drum kit's pretty awesome. I got to play it for a while.
Anyway, we were writing this song about Rome VS Carthage. It was supposed to be a progressive rock song but then Kris pitched in this deathcore riff as an intro and everything else followed. I soon found myself growling HAHAHA. And when I did that, they stopped the open jam session and requested me to growl the whole song.
So I was in and all they needed was a bassist.

Band name: My Chemical Romans
(Proposed) Song title: Immolate Carthago

Grasslands
Have you seen the African Savanna? It's one wide expanse of grass and all that. And as we all know, it is the dwelling place of one of the most fearsome predators in the planet today.
The lion
A male lion sometimes leads a whole "pride." He doesn't hunt anymore when he attains that position; he leaves the female lions the task of hunting prey for the pride.
The female lions then cautiously approach a target tactically and all of them are strategically positioned for cornering purposes. Then in the distance of around 30 meters from the target the lionesses break their own cover and make a run for it with velocities reaching about 60 kmh.
Cut the story short, it's the other way around when it comes to life.
1.) Men are ruled by their pride.
2.) Men chase the prey, but no more than a minute.
More than that and the lion dies from excessive heat energy production and extreme dehydration.

Reverse Polarity
I've heard this term from one of my favorite computer games - DotA.
It is Magnus' final skill which pulls all nearby enemies towards him then stunning them for 4 seconds and dealing great damage. Then when all nearby enemies are disabled, Magnus empowers his base damage then combines it with his splash damage that cleaves and distributes his immense offense to all those enemies. And after that he finishes it off with a wave.
This all happens in a span of 4 seconds. Magnus blinks in to your location from nowhere, and you taken by surprise cannot do anything but watch your character get owned.
Well my character underwent the same situation. It's just that, it wasn't Magnus doing the job.
I'm perpetually stunned.

Polarity
It always boils down in two: either a positive or a negative feedback.
In my case, it is highly negative. The methodology of my experiment led to a negative feedback. The electron transfer was weak and there was negligible voltage difference detected by the voltmeter so it is acceptable enough to consider that there was no electric flow dispensed into the circuit.
Perhaps I should replace the copper wires which serve as connections all throughout the circuit.
Or start with a new circuit, which is highly improbable.
Or remain stagnant with the failure of the experiment and remain indifferent with regards to the situation.
There is no solution but to withdraw the experiment without any regards to its current progress.

Happiness
Well I'm really happy 'cause at least I was able to make HER happy on the 13th and 14th of February.
Basically that's it.
She is not a sun that will blind you with beauty,
Nor is she a moon that will light you in darkness,
Nor is she a world where my heart will adhere to,
'Cause she's a universe where my world belongs to.
Yeah I told her those very words and I was glad she smiled upon hearing it. She laughed, and perhaps that's the sweetest laugh I've ever heard with my cold ears due to my heavy metal habit and all that... And her smile - it moved me. No, it stunned me. Uhhh, it stupefied me. Ermm no, I don't think so. It simply made me...
... fall, into infinity and beyond! HAHAHA!
I swear I'm gonna love her.

Please Wait
There's this certain key you pressed on your mobile phone because you wanted to execute some random function - now you can't remember what you wanted to have, but you know you want it.
Then a dialogue box pops out from the center of the screen and then consequently covers almost the whole display, and it says "Please Wait."
You wait.
What if, in the middle of the process your phone hanged? You hopelessly wait but you receive no definite response from the phone. Now your lifeline for connectivity is certainly dead. What would you do?
I'd opt to pull the battery out and restart the goddamned phone.
