Song of the Moment CXIV: Motörhead’s “I’ll Be Your Sister

Today, after trying to wake up earlier (and failing) and finishing a ton of paperwork, I’m honestly in low spirits and also anxious for a few reasons. As a fan of professional wrestling, I know there’s at least one reason to celebrate today, which is Austin 3:16 Day (in reference to the definitive Steve Austin promo at WWE King of the Ring in 1996). Still, sometimes the melancholy and anxiety cannot be extinguished easily by a single happy memory.

That doesn’t mean I’m not doing my best to feel better, though. Here’s one of my happy methods this afternoon: listening to my favorite metal band, Motörhead, to burn off my anxious energy while working. In particular, I’ve been listening to their first two albums: the self-titled debut album and Overkill. The latter features one of my top three favorite songs from the speed metal pioneers, “I’ll Be Your Sister”.

Motörhead’s “I’ll Be Your Sister.

Hear III

Healing from silent pain through melodies
Every perfectly hit note becomes a patch
All the words bring you loving comfort
Rise again after the music cures you

Hear (Poetry Series): I, II, III

10-Minute Warning CC

200 10-Minute Warning posts. Even my own jaw dropped from the humongous statistic. I’m truly glad I reached a milestone like that.

Anyway, what else should I share in under ten minutes?

Summer is near, so the country will experience unbearable, hell-like heat for a few months. That also means my employer will experience its peak season, and we need to prepare for that. More people will need cool, fresh air this coming hot season, and they will need our services. In our way, we’re helping people, and helping others is one of the most fulfilling things anyone can do.

Speaking of services, that reminds me of my current predicament: a second job. I reevaluated my plans for this year, and if I were to really push that particular plan, I may have to change my timetable. Pushing through that plan later is the wisest choice.

Also, I haven’t seen this week’s WWE Raw, but I saw some clips, like The Usos confronting CM Punk after his unbelievably cruel words to Roman Reigns last week. I’ve been clearing many pending tasks that piled up since March started, so I don’t even have the energy to watch the entire episode tonight. But based on the clips, the road to WrestleMania 42 is getting rougher and more interesting.

My ten minutes are almost up. See you in the next post.
