I have this set of thoughts in my mind for quite a while now and i think this is the first time I actually decide to write down whatever I thought up of. Don't read it, I don't know what i'm writing this shit for too lol. Come to think of it, I actually like this space travel theme a lot , because no one has truly found how to travel vast distances in space carrying human beings, so it leaves room for imagination.
I have a dream. A dream of starting a progressive metal band, to play and write about the desire of humanity to travel across the cosmos in search of new discoveries and settling down on new planets. A progressive metal band will be ideal to portray the theme being dealt with here, as well as atmospheric black metal elements, for the emotion (to be immersed in the music). Humanity were and are always looking to explore, people travelling to new countries, visiting new cultures. What if one day we have the capability to travel outwards and into the vast expanding space that fills the universe? We can never be able to go on space travelling trips within our lifetimes, but I doesn't stop me from thinking that it might be interesting to make music that immerse the listener and feels like they are on a musical journey.
A song to help with your imagination, in case you didn't know what i'm trying to emphasise here ;)

Genre : Djent/Progressive metal (so don't listen if you're not into such a subgenre)
I imagine the first album to be about talking about the struggles of humanity settling their differences and coming together to fund the space travel program & and the many researches that go on. Politics (Who to send as the first space travellers, from which countries etc.), the lack of resources (perhaps such a project is too expensive even with all of Earth's resources), lack of time (perhaps due to the eventual self destruction of humanity or maybe the technology is just too intricate to develop?... ) or goals to achieve (perhaps maybe expand the knowledge of astronomy/cosmology, or to scout for other civilisations and to proof Fermi Paradox once and for all, or to escape from the eventual dying of the Sun?).
The second album starts out after humanity settled it's differences, with the first humans departing from Earth, to begin their epic voyage into the depths of the cosmos, having the entire humankind unified and watching them, the feeling not unlike when the first man stepped foot on the Moon. Lyrically it deals with the dangers (Will they discover hostile civilisations? Or will the sensors on board their spaceship fail to detect an oncoming meteor?, get sucked in by an uncharted black hole?), the wonders (Will the human space explorers chance upon the magnificence of nebula clouds?), the mystery (Different physics from what we know?) about what lies beyond the little 70% blue/ 30% green ball that humanity is so familiar with.
The third album shows the arrival of the space travellers to their destination, and analysing the environments of the planet to which they will one day call home. The search for extraterrestrial civilisations continues after the planet has been colonised and resources are available to do so, while the biology of the first human settlers change and adapt to the new environment, as history has shown (i.e. fish becoming reptiles, reptiles evolved to have wings, small fish evolved to have spines etc.). When the next human travellers arrive on the newly colonised planet, will they see the first human travellers and settlers still being biologically human? Or will they see something totally alien to them? Will they change in culture, behaviour, language? Or will they live in a ideal enclosed environment thus resulting in no change biologically? (I like to think of the first settlers as biologically different to show the result of evolution from a change of environment)
Plot twist : Planet they decide to settle down is a terrestrial planet, so there's no change in biologics, anticlimax (which could be true,since there are such planets and is easier to settle down on anyway lol)
What technologies (space warp, wormhole etc...) to be developed and to be used,how and if humanity will ever settle their differences, where and how will humanity (maybe by probes instead of a manned expedition?) choose to explore the cosmos, it is all up the listener to imagine. There's just too many variables and outcomes to list here, it's impossible to put it all out, so might as well engage the listener's imagination and form his or her ideal scenario.
Ultimately, all the endeavours of humanity strive to one goal : Interstellar space travel

Overreacting
I admit i overreacted when i first heard from the doctor that I have ear infection. I know it is a simple infection that will go away in time, but I just felt so depressed from knowing that I have to go see a ear specialist and take additional medication in addition to my antidepressants. Why the hell can't I have a more normal life, instead of such stupid problems. My ear infection only happened this morning when i woke up at 3am to try to clear my ear,but I can't do it so I wait until noon when I'm back from the gym to ask my dad to help me clear but he said whatever's that in there,mucus or earwax, is too deep. I don't know about anyone else,but walking around doing daily stuff with a ear almost fully clogged is uncomfortable. It wasn't that bad this morning, only until I tried to get my dad to dig it out then it got worse. I seriously hate the clogged feeling and as a result I can only hear things mostly through my right ear, the left ear could pick up muffled sounds like as though I have earplugs on on one side of the ear.
While waiting to take the bus home,I felt in despair, knowing I have to take even more medication and having to endure the muffled sounds as well as choked full of stuff in my left ear. I knew I was overreacting but I just couldn't help it. It feels like life keeps throwing me problems to solve. Now I have to take the 1 week long antibiotics as well as a eardrop. Also, my dad has hearing problems on one of his ears,and we're worried that the same issue is also present in me, which might eventually lead to surgery if the issue worsens or wearing hearing aid. Sometimes i get ringing in my ear,sometimes i don't . I guess NS played a big part in this because of all the loud noises from shooting. I'll just say it here, people perceive discomfort differently, as is pain, so what may be uncomfortable to me might not be so for others. I read online that ear pressure changes as people alight from the flights, but does the atmopheric pressure really change that much when i go from the first floor to the 22nd floor? Hmm,something to ponder about. It feels like something is in there,and sucking it out works wonders,but seems the doc disagree :/ I really should stop whining like a kid these days, I guess it is partly my fault for not doing anything about this issue as I have ear clog occasionally over the past few years, BUT i only went to the doctor (not polyclinic) once to get my ears cleared.
I decided to change the domain name back onto the original blog that I started, since I realised (again) that it's better to express myself somewhere rather than random rants on fb.
