Song of the Moment X: Downstait’s “Kingdom”

In my previous Song of the Moment post, I wrote this: I hope CM Punk or Cody Rhodes will win the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. And guess what? They were the final 2, and Rhodes eliminated Punk to win the match. What an amazing Rumble overall!

In light of Cody Rhodes’ victory, I’m listening to his theme song, “Kingdom” by Downstait.

Congratulations to the 4th back-to-back WWE Royal Rumble winner, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes!

Song of the Moment IX: Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality”

I’m so excited for the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble (2024) because a few of my favorites – Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew McIntyre, and Gunther – will join the Men’s Royal Rumble match. And after seeing the heated promo between Punk and Rhodes on Raw recently, the excitement turned up to 11. I’m so glad WWE uploaded the full segment on their YouTube channel, and I hope that either man will win.

In light of the upcoming match, I’m repeatedly listening to Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (CM Punk’s theme song). I will listen to Downstait’s “Kingdom” (Cody Rhodes’ theme song) tomorrow, but it’s Punk’s night for now.

I’m looking forward to this weekend!

10-Minute Warning III

So, what should I type in ten minutes while drinking 8 glasses of my favorite drink, Jack and Coke (Jack Daniel’s whiskey mixed with Coke regular or zero)?

Well, let me just say – I admit, it’s fun feeling drunk and relaxed after so many Jack & Cokes. I only got drunk for less than a handful in college, so please forgive me. Please let me live a little. And at least I got intoxicated while at home and didn’t spend 500 PHP for a cocktail and hanging out with strangers. Getting drunk at home saves money, and my introverted self is happy.

Also, I think my therapist will be so disappointed simply because I got drunk. But come on, people. I’m only human. Let me say again – please let me live a little.

Anyway, what else can I say? It’s almost Sunday, it’s almost midnight, and I want to get out right now. But maybe I should get out in the afternoon so I can spend less in a day. Maybe I should watch Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania tomorrow afternoon. Maybe not. We’ll see. But I will watch the movie tomorrow and then hang out at Satchmi or Starbucks Reserve.

And speaking of Ant-Man and movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I should watch Shang-Chi. I never got to see it on the big screen. In fact, I never got to see it at all, so tomorrow may be a perfect time to watch it. Good thing I have a subscription to Disney+.

Speaking of Disney+, it’s weird that they have a license to the latest WWE programming. They have the recent Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, among others. At least I can watch those shows. But it sucks they don’t have the complete catalog of the WWE Network. I miss having the option to watch old episodes of Raw or SmackDown, or the likes of WrestleMania. I miss the WWE Network.

And time’s up.
