10-Minute Warning CXXI

A week before the Japan trip with my family, and I feel down. I’m supposed to feel good, but I’m not. And I should start preparing my things for the trip tomorrow. Maybe preparing early will lift my spirits.

Speaking of tomorrow and lifting spirits, I will have my therapy session – the 1st therapy session of 2024… unless my therapist postpones it again? Our last session happened last November 2023 and ever since our next session has been rescheduled multiple times. My (current) therapist is the best and I’m usually patient about many things, but I’m starting to get annoyed about the recent rescheduling. I just hope the session finally pushes through tomorrow.

And that’s all I can say today. See you on Wednesday.

Song of the Moment XXIII: Jim Johnston’s “The Undertaker (Original Piano Demo)”

In the previous Song of the Moment post, I shared what was on my on-repeat: “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars. Today, I have been listening to the piano demo of the theme song of my all-time favorite pro wrestler, The Undertaker. Jim Johnston, the longest-serving composer for WWE, made the piano demo.

Whenever I’m in a depressive state and I don’t want to bounce back yet, I listen to said piano demo multiple times and dwell in the darkness. And what a beautiful yet haunting piano piece, it is. It is both comforting and saddening whenever I hear it.

Well done, Mr. Johnston. All the theme songs he created for wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker are so legendary that Johnston should have been in the WWE Hall of Fame years ago. I hope he gets inducted into said hall of fame next year.

Anyway, if you’re wondering how I am… I’m not fine. I’m not fine since Saturday afternoon.

I need a drink. But that would ruin my rule of “drinking only on weekends”. So, no. I will not drink now. I will try not to. Fingers crossed.

Song of the Moment XXII: Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man”

After all that happened last WrestleMania weekend (and what a weekend it was), I remembered a few things and it made me feel sad. I don’t want to talk about it here, but all I can say is that I’m so sad that my visit to my favorite cafe yesterday did not work somehow. Maybe I should go back again sometime this week and have another affogato there.

Speaking of sad, let me share a song that I have been listening to multiple times tonight: the saddest Bruno Mars song in my opinion, “When I Was Your Man”. I don’t want to talk about why I’m listening to it on repeat. For now, maybe. Just listen to the song.

Damn. I need a drink.
