Struggle with Steinermania – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

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.

XLV: Full Circle IV: The Diary’s 3rd Anniversary

Today is the third anniversary of The Diary, my main home on the World Wide Web. I don’t think I have ever reached a third anniversary post on any of my older blogs, but here we are! I’m truly happy about this milestone.

And since we’re talking about numero tres, let me randomly pick three of my favorite written posts. Funnily enough, they were all published in 2025, and each represented three sides of me: the light, the dark, and the absurd. (And I also explained why I remember writing them fondly.)

XLIII: The Deranged Writer’s Struggle with Steinermania III

Unless you’re living under a rock, I’m sure you’re familiar with the device known as the microphone or mic. Singers use it to deliver their show-stopping performances, broadcasters use it to deliver information and opinions on their shows, and professional wrestlers use it to deliver promos.

Side note: In professional wrestling terms, a promo is a monologue from a wrestler/manager/personality or a dialogue between two or more individuals that hypes a match, advances a storyline, and develops wrestling personas. In pro wrestling, the act of delivering a promo is called “cutting a promo.”

So, where is this going? I just want to share that I have watched too many Scott Steiner videos so often that even the word “mic” triggers my Steinermania. Let me explain why.
