The Diary of The Deranged Writer
Where fiction meets reality, between light, darkness and absurdity.
The Undertaker (real name Mark Calaway) is an American professional wrestler who was the longest-serving talent in WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), and is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Throughout his legendary career, he has won multiple world championships and has faced many iconic rivals from Mankind (Mick Foley), Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock, to John Cena, Batista, and CM Punk. He also owns the record of having the longest undefeated streak at WWE’s flagship event, WrestleMania—21 straight wins.
Along with Dave Grohl, The Undertaker is The Deranged Writer’s personal hero.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen! I’m The Deranged Writer, and welcome to the second edition of Notes to Self, where I keep in my mind and heart a relevant quote from any form of media, someone I know in real life, or a personal hero.
Speaking of personal heroes, I would like to quote my childhood hero and my favorite professional wrestler of all time, The Undertaker.

Well, today is Monday. I’m typing away while listening to Paramore’s “Still Into You”. It’s my current LSS and, in my opinion, one of the best Paramore songs. And yes, the song reminds me of someone I was close to. I miss her.
Today, I dreaded waking up early. I set my alarm for 8 am, but I woke up 11 minutes later. I want to go back to bed and sleep, but I can’t. I have a job to do. I need to drink some strong coffee and walk around the office, which is also our house.
I have been working for my family’s company for almost a month, and I’m thankful for my current job. It’s clerical work; it’s not the job I wanted. But at least I’m earning money now, and my writing, time management, and file management skills are being developed. And since I’m working from home, I don’t have to spend money on food. I like to stay in this job for another month or two. Or three. (It depends on when I finally get an ideal, stable web/graphic design job, a job I have been looking for for a few years and counting.)
What else? Crap. I’m not even sure if I’m writing properly. But then I’m writing under time pressure. I need to take a chill pill.
And wait a minute. Just checked my Instagram. Undertaker and Dave Grohl have Super Bowl commercials?! I must check them in a bit.
And time’s up.
