Butterflies and Hurricanes

A song by Muse that presents the risk of reducing you to a overwhelmed pudding of what you previously were, simultaneously changing your views on the limits of man, resurrecting your faith in modern music, whacking you with every pleasant or good thing that has ever happened in your life back into the front of your mind, and making you question why you have gone this long without hearing it.

This masterpiece that the English language merely gave the name ‘song’ to features a piano solo that will make you burst into tears. You will automatically assume that the pianist is just the pianist due to the solo’s advanced composure, but in reality (of which you have lost the meaning of after hearing the song) this virtuoso is also the gifted-fingered guitarist, angelic vocals, and song-writer- or more fitting- composer. After listening you may find yourself using British spelling, even though you’re American, talking fast, learning the alphabet backwards, and being a cooler person. Upon listening to all of Muse’s other songs you most likely get the same effect, but this one’s my favourite (hehe… spelling).

Pudding: listen to “Butterflies and Hurricanes”

*John listens to “Butterflies and Hurricanes”

John-Flavoured Pudding: I feel love, anger, lust, and ‘shrooms multiplied and improved all at once. I don’t need food, water, drugs, or sex ever again.

Butterflies and Hurricanes

One of Muse's many great songs. It's on the album "absoultion". It features a heart-meltingly beautiful piano solo preformed by Matt Bellamy, i.e. love, in human form.
Lyrics for "Butterflies and Hurricanes"
"Change everything you are
and everything you were
Your number has been called

Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your Time is now
Your Time is now

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called

Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
and use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
Your time is now

Don't let yourself down
Don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
and use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
Your time is now"

Sings Matthew Bellamy angelicly, simutaiously managing to alternate between piano and guitar.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
