Foo Fighters are an American alternative/hard rock band formed by Dave Grohl (the fifth and most famous drummer of the iconic grunge band Nirvana). Started as a one-man project with a demo tape that piqued the interest of major labels, a full band was officially formed in February 1995, and their self-titled debut album was released on July 4 of the same year. Several years later, they are regarded as one of the greatest rock bands of all time with hits like “Everlong”, “The Pretender”, and “My Hero” and several Grammy Award wins on their legendary resume.
The Foo Fighters are The Deranged Writer’s favorite band of all time.
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.)

Now let’s start with what happened this morning…
Continue reading XXVIII: A Diary Post at Noon!Today, I did more work than usual. I even went into overtime. But I’m not complaining because a fire has lit inside of me since last weekend.
So, I opened tonight’s bout with 10+ repair proposals by wearing my earphones and playing my favorite songs playlist on Spotify. Each random song that played while I was working was energetic enough to fuel my fire, from Shinedown’s “DEVIL”, The Ting Tings’ “That’s Not My Name”, and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Can’t Stop”.
Upon reaching the final proposal for the night, my favorite song of all time, Foo Fighters’ “The Pretender”, played. I cried as I heard my beloved anthem and I typed the last few words and numbers because it’s like the universe is telling me to push one more time before I do my nightly rituals.
And when I started printing the last proposal, Spotify played another favorite Foo Fighters song of mine, “Resolve”. It’s from the band’s fifth studio album In Your Honor, and it was the perfect song to end overtime… and the perfect song to be my Song of the Moment.
I’m tempted to open a can of Jack & Coke Zero, but nope.
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
