Notes to Self II

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! I’m The Deranged Writer and welcome to the 2nd 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, here’s a quote from a childhood hero and my favorite professional wrestler of all time, Mark Calaway aka The Undertaker. I think he said the following quote before or on the WWE InVasion pay-per-view. (Correct me if I’m wrong.)

“There’s no shame in going out fighting and getting your ass kicked, but there’s no honor in not fighting at all.”
The Undertaker (2001)

To Taker, you’re right. “There is no honor in not fighting at all.” Therefore, I will keep on fighting no matter how many times I get defeated. Thank you for your motivational quote.

Do you have any quotes that I should remember? Hit me up in the comments section below, on my socials (here are my Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter), or through email at therealderangedwriter@gmail.com.

Until the next Notes to Self!

10-Minute Warning I

So, what can I say (or type) in 10 minutes?

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 with. 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 2. Or 3. (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.
