Song of the Moment XVIII: Stone Sour’s “Absolute Zero”

In my previous post last Friday, I mentioned that I was sick. Now, the only thing that is bothering me is my cough. But that will not stop me from walking and jogging tonight. And instead of walking at my usual jog path, I will join my brothers tonight at the gym and use one of the treadmills. And if I can lift some weights, maybe I should as well? Or maybe not. I will see about that.

Wait a minute. I just realized something: Tonight will be the 1st time I will exercise with all my brothers at the gym. Bro time!

Speaking of exercise, let me share one of my all-time favorite songs and the 1st track on my workout playlist – “Absolute Zero” by Stone Sour. Corey Taylor’s melodic screaming and the hard rock instrumentals never fail to pump me up. Hell yeah.

You’re looking at an absolute zero
I’m not the devil, but I won’t be your hero

That is all. Happy Monday, everyone!

Song of the Moment IX: Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality”

I’m so excited for the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble (2024) because a few of my favorites – Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew McIntyre, and Gunther – will join the Men’s Royal Rumble match. And after seeing the heated promo between Punk and Rhodes on Raw recently, the excitement turned up to 11. I’m so glad WWE uploaded the full segment on their YouTube channel, and I hope that either man will win.

In light of the upcoming match, I’m repeatedly listening to Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (CM Punk’s theme song). I will listen to Downstait’s “Kingdom” (Cody Rhodes’ theme song) tomorrow, but it’s Punk’s night for now.

I’m looking forward to this weekend!
