Song of the Moment LIX: Limp Bizkit’s “Build a Bridge”

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).

After running errands around Ortigas for almost the whole day, I went to Oversight, ordered my favorite affogato, and updated my trusty journal/planner. I felt so much better after that, and now I’m excited (and a bit nervous) for my birthday tomorrow. Thank you, my favorite cafe. I might drop by there again tomorrow.

While I was drinking my affogato and writing, I also listened to music on Spotify for 30 minutes before my wireless earphones ran out of power. I was listening to Jewel’s “Intuition”, Hanson’s “I Will Come to You”, and then Limp Bizkit’s “Build a Bridge”. The latter is my favorite Limp Bizkit song because it sounds so different from their signature nu metal sound and the longing, determined lyrics (especially the chorus) moved me. “Build a Bridge” also reminded me of WWE Survivor Series (2003), one of the best Survivor Series events (in my opinion) and the end of American Badass/Big Evil Undertaker.

Even though it’s gonna crumble down (Gonna crumble down)
I’ll keep buildin’ till you come around (Till you come around)
Even though it’s gonna fall apart and break my heart (Break my heart)
I’ll keep buildin’ till I die
Limp Bizkit’s “Build a Bridge”

After listening to “Build a Bridge”, I decided to listen to a few more WWE-related songs like one of WrestleMania 21’s theme songs, 3 Doors Down’s “Behind Those Eyes”, and two of WrestleMania 23’s theme songs, Saliva’s “Ladies and Gentlemen” and Default’s “The Memory Will Never Die”… and then my earphones ran out of power. Oh, well. At least I’m happy now.

And tonight, I will give “Build a Bridge” another listen. Maybe three more or four.

1 day before my birthday… I mean, less 30 minutes to go before my birthday. Hell yes! See you tomorrow!

10-Minute Warning CXLI

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

I’m not going to lie. I have felt physically and mentally tired for the past 2 weeks. That’s why I have not followed my blogging schedule again. That’s why it was a struggle for me to do my daily routine.

But what keeps me going are my recent “lamp posts”. The 1st lamp post: My Father bought ice cream for me last Monday afternoon. I don’t know why you did that, Father, but thank you. I appreciate it very much. And my 2nd lamp post: my weekly affogato at Oversight. Now my week is complete, and it’s only Tuesday. To my favorite cafe, thank you once again.

Another lamp post: the half-shell Deadpool mask that I ordered last August. I think I will get it by October or November, so I should wait and keep going. I’m so excited to wear it soon; I call it an early birthday gift to myself.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning CXL

I’m becoming more forgetful recently, even if I write a lot online or offline.

For example, I left my home and had an affogato at my favorite spot tonight. Before I started drinking and writing, I took out the box containing my wireless earphones, and the right part of my earphones was not there. I feel bad about myself for a minute because I usually check out my everyday carry before I leave home. And I had to listen to only 1 earphone while writing.

The good news is that my Mother found the right part of my earphones and I got it upon arriving home. But the bad news is, well, I’m becoming more forgetful. I need to be more mindful about my belongings.

I have another example of me becoming more forgetful nowadays, but my time is up tonight.
