XXIX: Ranting About Work & Raving About a Foo Fighters Music Marathon

Finally, the weekend is here, and I’m about to have a celebratory Jack & Coke Zero tonight. (This is also in celebration of the Foo Fighters’ 30th anniversary.)

But first, let me have a short rant about something that happened at work several weeks ago. (If you don’t want to read my short work rant, just click here.)

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!

Song of the Moment LV: Linkin Park’s “Two Faced”

I’ll make this quick because I just finished listening From Zero, the new Linkin Park album released today, and I will go for another round because I love the entire record. But if I were to pick a favorite track (right now) that I will listen to on repeat all night long, it would be “Two Faced”. Listening to it made me feel like a 10-year-old because it reminded me of the old-school, heavy Linkin Park – Mr. Hahn’s turntable scratches and all. I’m on cloud nine, man.

And have you seen the music video of “Two Faced”? Linkin Park members in suits… I approve.

Now I will go back to listen From Zero all over again. Happy weekend!
