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.
In light of Sting’s retirement last Sunday at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Revolution, let me share one of his entrance themes, “Seek & Destroy” by Metallica – a song that was played on his last entrance. (And he walked down to the ring with his sons dressed as Surfer Sting and Wolfpac Sting. Iconic.)
Thank you, Sting. You had an amazing career and you have given so much to pro wrestling. You are THE Icon. Enjoy your retirement, sir.

In my previous Song of the Moment post, I wrote this: I hope CM Punk or Cody Rhodes will win the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. And guess what? They were the final 2, and Rhodes eliminated Punk to win the match. What an amazing Rumble overall!
In light of Cody Rhodes’ victory, I’m listening to his theme song, “Kingdom” by Downstait.
Congratulations to the 4th back-to-back WWE Royal Rumble winner, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes!

OK. What can I share here in under 10 minutes?
Once again, I’m not in a good mood. But time this, that should not stop me from writing here on The Dispatch. I will not be able to accomplish anything if I keep on letting my bad mood stop me.
Moving on… I got my salary today – 2 days after the actual payday. I’m not complaining though. At least I got my salary already. This time though, I’m more careful about spending my money. I want to limit my spending in the next 2 weeks at least. That means I can’t go out with friends for now and I would spend less if I were to go to my favorite restaurants and cafes.
What else? Oh! My Younger Brother is at the airport now. He is going to Cebu for the Sinulog Festival. I’m happy for him. He has been working so hard on his endeavors and he deserves a break. Have a fun and safe trip, my brother!
What else? Since my Younger Brother is on vacation, I’m expecting more workload in the next several days and I will need to go to my ENT visit alone. And I quote The Rock, “Just bring it!”
And time’s up.
