Song of the Moment CI: Foo Fighters’ “Everlong (Acoustic)” (Again)

It’s been a few days since my family and I arrived home from the capital of South Korea. My body is waving the white flag, tired from all the constant walking. (But thank goodness the cold weather made the trek comforting. Also, for a day, I wore a cold-weather outfit inspired by John Reese’s winter attire from Person of Interest [long, black coat, gloves, the works], which made me feel spy-badass while walking around. For a day, I truly embody The Man in the Suit.)

And honestly, my heart and soul are still halfway from Seoul. (Hey, that rhymed.) Why? Well, exactly a month after experiencing a true happy point (the Foo Fighters show at the Singapore Grand Prix), I experienced another true happy point during the Seoul tour, and these two lines from Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” (the 11th song and second single from The Colour and the Shape) perfectly describe it.

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

My hero, Dave Grohl, performs the acoustic version of Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” at the Save Our Stages Fest (2020).

I will tell you the full story once I fully recover and finish the other drafts I’m working on. But for now, I’m glad I’m feeling this real and this good again.

See you in the next post.

XVII: The Deranged Writer’s Favorite Outfits of The Undertaker

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024 edition).

What is the reason The Undertaker lasted in WWE for 30 years? He has more than 1 look. He has the ability to evolve his character and look while retaining his dark, evil core, and you can tell what era he was in just by looking at his outfit.

Old Western Mortician with the grey gloves? 1990 to 1994. Rebirthed Deadman with the purple gloves? 1994 to 1996. Lord of Darkness with the gothic attire? 1996-1998. Hooded Ministry leader? 1998 to 1999. American Badass with the biker attire and bandana? 2000 to 2001. Big Evil with the short hair? 2001 to 2003. A hybrid of the Deadman and the American Badass with a long leather coat, black hat, and gloves? 2004 to 2019. A mixture of all his personas and his real-life self? 2020. All these eras and outfits made The Undertaker fresh and relevant for a long time until his retirement in 2020.

And today, November 22, 2024 (34 years after The Undertaker’s WWE debut), I will talk about my favorite Taker outfits: the ones from the Rebirthed Deadman, the Lord of Darkness, and the Hybrid.

10-Minute Warning CLI

Hello. Here I am again, struggling to complete my monthly blog count. But then again, why am I beating myself up again? This is my blog and I’m not a writing machine. I need to take it easy and cut myself some slack sometimes.

But wait. I think I can catch up on my blog count when I start the 2024 edition of “14 Days of The Deranged Writer”. In the aforementioned blogging series, I will blog for 14 days straight, starting from November 22 to my birthday, December 5. And to start the series, I will talk about my favorite attires of my all-time favorite professional wrestler, The Undertaker (who made his WWE debut on November 22, 1990).

See you tomorrow!
