The Diary of The Deranged Writer
Where fiction meets reality, between light, darkness and absurdity.
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.
As I’m typing this, I just finished drinking 4 Jack and Cokes and… maybe I should share my predictions for WWE WrestleMania XL, the advertised “biggest WrestleMania of all time.”
Getting straight to it, here are my picks…

Thank goodness for avoiding errands at least today because today’s temperature outside is 35°C. 35-fucking-degrees-celsius. It feels hotter than that though, but good grief.
After writing that, I’m dreading tomorrow, and tomorrow’s weather could be worse. I must endure the heat while I run errands. (Yes, I will bring my umbrella when I walk on the street. But what if I go to an establishment with A/C problems? I must expect the worst.)
And I can imagine Kane (kayfabe half-brother of The Undertaker) making the temperature worse when he walks through the entire city and flames burst from concrete. That is why my current Song of the Moment is “Slow Chemical” by Finger Eleven, one of Kane’s theme songs.
Happy humid Monday. And no, I’m not in the mood to write an April Fools’ Day post today. Maybe next year.

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?
Well, sad news: The lowest point of my life happened 5 years ago today, March 25. I’m supposed to reminisce that day through a blog post, but… I can’t finish it today. My mind and heart can’t finish the story today. I’m not even sure if I can tell the story this Wednesday or Friday, but I’m sure there will be a trigger warning before the post.
And some good news: There was reason for me to be happy yesterday, March 24, because it was the 59th birthday of my all-time favorite professional wrestler, Mark Calaway AKA The Undertaker. Happiest birthday, Taker! I hope you had a blast!
And time’s up.
