The Diary of The Deranged Writer
Where fiction meets reality, between light, darkness and absurdity.
Dave Grohl is an American rock musician who was the fifth and most famous drummer of the iconic grunge band Nirvana and the founder, vocalist, rhythm guitarist and primary songwriter of the alternative/hard rock band Foo Fighters. Over the years, he has collaborated with multiple music legends like Sir Paul McCartney, Motörhead, David Bowie, and Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). He is also an accomplished writer who released his first autobiography, “The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music” on October 5, 2021.
Along with The Undertaker, Dave Grohl is The Deranged Writer’s personal hero.
Tonight, I don’t feel like telling a story as I feel tired physically and mentally. I’m sorry. Let me just quote and share one of Foo Fighters’ deep cuts – coming from the self-titled debut album that was released in 1995. Thank you, my all-time favorite band.
After the bliss has long ended
Foo Fighters’ “Exhausted”
This caution, this fault
Give me a breeze that’s long-winded
Accosted, adult
Arrested
Happy weekend to all.

I know I said I would publish a birthday post for my no. 1 hero, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, today. But I’m not proud after reading what I wrote for the nth time. And also, I’m mentally unwell once again. I think my recent bout with mental illness may have started when I skipped my meds on New Year’s Eve. (Since 2019, I never skipped my meds. Oops.)
I’m sorry. I hope I will be better on Friday, though I’m not sure if I will publish my letter to Mr. Grohl on that day. Again, I’m sorry.

All right. What can I write here under 10 minutes?
Today I don’t feel like writing about how my day went. But what I can share are my plans for The Diary in the next few weeks.
On January 31, 2024, Wednesday, I will be publishing my post-birthday letter to my ultimate hero, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. Right now I’m still working on it, and I hope I don’t fuck it up whether my idol reads it or not.
On February 6, 2024, Tuesday, The Diary turns 1 year old! And in celebration of that, I will post the lessons I learned after I blogged regularly for a full year.
And oh! As for the lack of header images on my posts lately, that’s because my software subscription has expired and I honestly cannot afford it for now. I hope to turn things around soon. In the meantime, no header images.
Wish me luck!
