break – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

LII: Away for a Day

Last Friday, April 17, for the first time in perhaps almost a year, I didn’t touch The Diary for a day.

For several months, I’ve been overflowing with thoughts and ideas, and I have regained my confidence in writing. When I’m on cloud nine, I write about it here. When I’m back in hell, I write about it here. No matter how I felt, I kept writing here.

And then last Friday, life happened.

10-Minute Warning CXCIX

So, what can I talk about here in under ten minutes?

After the last post, I’m slowly getting better. I finished the urgent tasks and then took the time to rest. And by rest, I mean having The Angel’s Cup while catching up on the latest WWE Raw and the newly-uploaded Undertaker’s American Badass era compilation on WWE Vault. Lovely.

I’ve been queuing some of my posts (e.g., poems) for the past few weeks, and it warms my heart when I notice I’m improving at creating and queuing content for The Diary. On the other hand, The Diary is my personal blog, so writing whatever is on my mind quickly in a new 10-Minute Warning post makes me feel over the moon, too. I missed this.

Anyway, what else can I share? Oh, yeah, as I said before, I’m slowly getting better. But I need something to lift my spirits more, like… a haircut. Quite frankly, it looked like a train wreck, and I hate looking like crap.

And my ten minutes are up. See you in the next post, and happiest weekend to all!

Notes to Self XXV

Last night, I was in a reflective mood while I was scrolling through my drafts. Then I found something worth filing under the Notes to Self category. It was a quote I would always bring up on my social media accounts and one of my old main blogs (which preceded The Diary), but I never really explained it personally. Since I’m still in a reflective mood tonight, I figured I should bring it up one more time and finally expound on it.

The quote? It’s a line CM Punk (who was slowly growing out of The Nexus and had entered his Best in the World era) said to Mr. McMahon during a contract negotiation on an episode of WWE Raw in 2011.
