Professional wrestling (pro wrestling or wrestling for short) is a form of physical live theater with wrestlers as the performers and the ring (or any place that can be converted into a place of battle) as the stage. The match outcome is predetermined, the moves are choreographed, yet the performers’ pain is real.

The Deranged Writer grew up watching professional wrestling; particularly WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). Through the years, he has a love/hate relationship with it, but it will always have a special place in his heart.

Watch VIII: The Deranged Writer’s Struggle with Steinermania VI: Scott Steiner’s Math Promo

May 1, 2008, on an episode of the professional wrestling television show, TNA Impact!, “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner (the greatest mathematician in the whole multiverse) presented his greatest contribution to mathematics and human history: Steiner Math.

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.

XLVII: Song of the Moment CXIII / The Deranged Writer’s Struggle with Steinermania IV

I have a few rituals as a huge fan of my favorite band, the legendary alternative/hard rock band, Foo Fighters. Here’s one of them: whenever they release a new song, I listen to it at least 50 times (scattered throughout the day if I’m busy), and then stop for a while.

Last February 19, I listened to a fresh Foo Fighters song the second it was released, and after reaching a certain number of listens (or scrobbles, in Last.fm terms), I had to stop listening and mark it down because it triggered my Steinermania once again.
