Tag: Foo Fighters

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.

10-Minute Warning XXII

So, what can I say here in under 10 minutes?

Last weekend, I mostly felt like shit, thanks to a Twitter block. Yeah, I know. It’s so shallow. But in my previous post, I expounded on what happened and how it affected me mentally (though I locked it out for everyone to see for now.) If it weren’t for my family, friends, and a then-upcoming Foo Fighters live stream at Veeps, well… let’s just say I’m super thankful for them.

Speaking of being thankful, this week I will start a new blogging series where I list down things and people I’m thankful for. It’s somehow inspired by an Instagram post by gamer, musician, and cosplayer Ashley Gosiengfiao. The new series will be called Gratitude Log.

And speaking of Foo Fighters, they have a free global live stream on Veeps that you can watch on-demand until May 25, 2023, at 3am (Philippine time). In the live stream, they revealed the legendary rock band’s new drummer Josh Freese and they played a few old songs and new songs like “Rescued”, “Under You” and “Nothing at All”. Check this link out and enjoy the show while it’s still up!

Also, I’m lazy to work on a featured header image for this post. I will upload one tomorrow.

And time’s up.

Listen II: Foo Fighters’ “Rescued”

Today, it was an OK day for me. I have done most of my daily rituals, and I didn’t do that much work. In the afternoon, I had to endure the hot summer and ran an errand at the city hall. After that, I enjoyed a bit of Coke Zero while watching the Netflix special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always. (The Power Rangers fan in me is happy seeing the old cast and the updated morphing sequences.)

And then came dinner time. I was enjoying my mushroom soup, fried chicken, and brown rice when suddenly I saw a YouTube notification from my favorite band of all time, Foo Fighters. They uploaded a lyric video of their new song “Rescued”. And, of course, I shouted for joy like the elated Foos fanboy that I am.

10-Minute Warning XI

Well, what can I type here in under 10 minutes?

For the 1st time since I started blogging more frequently, I feel so lazy to write. But I think it would help me stop being lazy if I talk about it here. Right, Dispatch? Thank you for understanding. Now I’m ready to write again.

Oh! Today was a bit productive at work. Around lunchtime, I joined Father in surveying a condominium for the 2nd time. And this time we have company – air-con technicians from another firm. I believe my dad is overseeing the whole installation? We will return to the condo and check the installation process tomorrow morning.

After today’s survey, Father and I went home, ate some air-fried chicken, and napped. We woke up at 6pm, and our local version of Family Feud was on TV. We were supposed to go to the mall with Mother and have a haircut tonight, but perhaps we all got lazy. I hope we can have our haircut before we leave for our Cagayan trip this coming Saturday.

Speaking of Saturday, last Saturday, March 25, I was sad. Why? March 25, 2019, was the day I almost died, and March 25, 2022, was the day the drummer of my favorite band Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, died. I’m supposed to write about what happened to me and a tribute to Taylor, but I’m too sad to even start a draft. Maybe next time.

And time’s up.
