For some time now I’ve carried Field Notes notebooks with me to write down and record various thoughts when I have them. It is something I wanted to become habit-forming and enjoyable over time. I like to write and sometimes jotting down a quick note is enough. I think that in the computer age many people’s hand-writing has suffered, mine included. I’ve always thought there was something more beneficial to writing things down.
I am not claiming there is anything wonderful, or original, or ground-breaking, in any of these thoughts and musings. On the contrary, sometimes they are the product of those boring moments when the mind wanders. There is no organization to them although the themes at times seem common. I will record them here in the way they were first written, only correcting any grammatical and punctuation errors.
Each completed book of notes is too much for one blog post, so most notebooks, once filled, will be broken up into two or three parts and posted over time.
-There has never been a thriving and safe atheistic society in human history. Atheism always evolves into evil.
-Society’s problem is a colossal lack of meaning. They will medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to assuage their feelings of emptiness.
-Diversity is not a strength. It always leads to conflict within a population. We need to glorify the things that unite us as humans, despite our diversity.
-Trans people are lashing out in violence because they know inside they are broken people and they have an intense hatred for those who are normal. They cannot cope with their mental disorder.
-The drinker is weak, the drunkard a fool.
-One of the best things I ever did was not allow my son to be medicated for a wrongful and fictitious diagnosis of ADHD, with some brain-frying drug. Young men who have been on these SSRI’s are struggling badly in all kinds of ways.
-It is frustrating to watch those who know nothing, think they know best. This is the folly of our age.
-No one chooses to do evil because it’s evil. They choose seemingly good things in the hopes that the evil underneath the surface will not deceive them.
-To gaze up at the stars in the dark of night, and think we are just one big cosmic accident, is either the height of arrogance, or stupidity.
-Watching how drunk people talk and act, and how grossly sad and pathetic it is, makes the sober life all the more appealing.
-Do virtuous things daily, and then do them again. As most embrace pleasure and deviancy and lead lives of despair, the virtuous person who pursues beauty and truth will flourish like a field of mountain flowers.
-We live in a time when dialectic has become irrelevant and rhetoric wins the day. Whoever can make the best emotional argument, devoid of science, facts, or reality, wins. This has been one of my main criticisms of conservatism. We seed ground by playing on their field. We lose the rhetorical battle before the real war begins.
-Universities are cesspools of idiocy, and academia a scourge on society. The sooner this whole enterprise collapses, the better off civilization will be.
-Leftism wants to make you believe that everything ugly, is in fact beautiful.
-The trans activists are proof that demons walk among us.
-We are at war for the soul of the west. The time for compassion is over until sanity is restored.
-A person is the sum total of the thoughts he thinks, and the words he says; that is why we see such decadence, deviancy, and despair in this modern age, where people have given up on the pursuit of those things which are good, beautiful, and true.
-Alcohol is a stupid trade. The drinker exchanges a few hours of fake, substance-induced joy, for 5 to 7 days of the depressant effects of the alcohol leaving his body after its harm is done. Only someone with poor risk assessment skills would make such a trade.
-There are no do-overs. Life is a series of choices. So choose wisely. Regret is painful.
-Objective truth must be the reality of a prosperous society, for if nothing can be called true, everything is permitted.
-The new pagans have gained control; the barbarians have seized the city. The civilizational collapse is well underway.
-The trans movement is the rebirth of ancient child sacrifice as they promote chemical castration and the sexualization of our most vulnerable. They are sacrificing children to the gods of this age.
-The modern pagans love abortion. It is the genteel method by which we sacrifice our children to the gods.
-“Pronouns in your bio” signify nothing more than adherence to the doctrines of a religious cult.
-One day I will die. So today, I am going to live.
-The climate changes. It has since the beginning of time. Putting the same morons in charge of this issue who miss handled COVID-19 so poorly, is civilization suicide.
-What a tragedy that people will give up “amazing” for “mediocre.”
-Western nations are in decline, or rather, free fall. Nations always rot from within first, and the moral degradation of the last few decades has hastened the demise.
-Heartbreak and loss are greater pains than any physical ailment. The heart feels far more than the body ever could.
-Travel is wonderful, but everyone needs to know where home is.
-The problem with the ignorant is that they’re plentiful.
-Even casual drinkers have a problem with alcohol, as they think their casual cravings are normal. That is the problem when you combine a powerful drug with a weak mind.
-There is no worse feeling than quiet despair.
-Imagine thinking that getting drunk in bars with strangers was a good and healthy way of socializing and meeting people. This is how weak and lazy people look to entertain themselves. We live in a time of quiet desperation, that craves the worst kind of entertainment. We need to rethink how we socialize with friends and look to build strong, sober relationships with people of high-quality.
-The US banking system and economy will collapse. It is inevitable. This is my prediction. (May 1st).
-You can tell everything you need to know about a person if they stand on escalators.
-Having a daughter who is sweet and wise is a real blessing. She sees right through the ways the world is trying to destroy young women.
-Evil is at its best when it disguises itself as virtuous, and masquerades as tolerance and compassion. The great evils today are done under the cover of “tolerance.”
-Two thirds of the world drinks alcohol. A third of those suffer from an AUD; alcohol use disorder. It is a powerful and highly addictive drug. We have an epidemic of people using this drug to cauterize the hopelessness, emptiness, and meaninglessness of their lives. We are watching people destroy their physical and mental well-being for a few hours of fake happiness. They are to be pitted in their weakness, and grieved over for their reliance on a drug to feel any kind of joy.
-One of the greatest ironies of the progressive mind virus, is that for all the talk of “toxic masculinity,” it’s the leftist support of the trans movement invading female spaces and reducing womanhood to a costume one can wear, that is damaging women the most. It’s not men, it’s those who support this evil ideology that denigrate the beauty of womanhood the most.
-People will give their time and attention to the things they value most.
-The trans movement and those that supported it, will be ashamed of what they have done in the years to come, when the extent of the damage done to children and teens is fully made known.
-People will gravitate to others, who make them feel good about themselves; those who give them a sense of security, and goodness.
-Always believe someone’s actions; not their words.
-It was once said that “ridicule was man’s most potent weapon.“ We need to bring back shaming, and ridicule for those who are promoting and celebrating the perversions and deviancies we see in modern culture. We need to mark those trying to sexualize kids at every turn.
-Love heralded as an emotion, and not as an act of will, has been a large part of the downfall of modern relationships.
-Is there any truer verse than Romans 7:15 to describe the heart?
-The courageous people of today are those who refuse to take part in the lies spread by the media, the government, and the rainbow cult.
-We are society awash in meaninglessness; people with no greater purpose or desire for the good. They pursue temporary pleasures to their own peril and make themselves woefully unhappy in the long run.
-If you are a slave to a substance or desire, you are not free.
-Foregoing short-term pleasures is hard. Discipline is not an easy road to walk.
-Our choices in life make us who we are. Some choose wisely and live peacefully. Others choose poorly, and must endure the consequences.
-There is much darkness in the world, and too many people afraid of the light.
-Nature and creation is the one true beauty in this world.
-Perhaps a society that chemically castrates children in the name of ideology, when we know close to 90% of them will self correct their dysphoria through puberty, really is on the side of evil, and deserves to collapse. When a society does not protect its children from predators and harm, it is lost. This is a full frontal attack on children; on the most vulnerable among us. Evil will always present itself as doing good.
-Too many men and women spend too much time making themselves appear physically attractive, and not enough time making themselves mentally and emotionally attractive.
-I think part of growing up and maturing is realizing that getting drunk in bars is what losers do.
-When you see the world for what it is, and the multitude of evils that engulfs us, it’s no wonder so many suffer from depression.
-We are a society that now glorifies the perverse, the grotesque, and the ugly. Evil’s slow march has convinced many to reject the good, the beautiful, and the true.
-There was an Old Testament dictate that the people of God should not tattoo themselves like the pagans do. One look around at the “skin“ of modern society, and the epidemic of tattoos, and one can only conclude that paganism is the dominant religion of the day.
-Sports on TV are merely distractions. For years I followed them with a cult-like further they were designed for. It’s “bread and circuses“ for the stupefied masses.
-Why is it that people so often disappoint us?
-Humans are self-destructive in almost every aspect of their lives.
-Alcohol will always always always destroy people and the relationships they value most.
-How does materialism account for evil in the world? It can’t. It’s impossible. And therefore should be rejected as a nonsensical belief system.
-Corporate culture exist to create obedient and placid worker robots. They no longer encourage any thought outside the approved woke orthodoxy.
-Rome fell because they welcomed the barbarians inside their gates. Western nations will likewise fall because of the self-destructive nature of their immigration policies.
-Evil abounds. The good man stands against it, and searches for glimmers of light in the darkness.
-Incredible that so many encourage war (always in the name of democracy, which is laughable) without understanding, or experiencing the sheer horror of it. There is no greater evil on earth than war.
-People drink out of boredom or because they are boring. They struggle to find meaning in their lives so they mask that meaninglessness with alcohol.
-Later in life, no one will remember their drunken nights because they are fake, meaningless, and forgettable. They will remember the places they’ve seen, and the people they’ve built deep relationships with. They will not remember the fog of those drug-induced nights of fake joy and hung-over mornings.
-The impulse of the powerful is to censor speech in a manner that keeps them in power. The notion of free speech is a fairytale we all like to pretend exists. There will always be speech that the powerful will deem offensive. It is just a revolving set of blasphemy laws put in place by those who want to control others.
-“All Graves go unvisited in the end.” Our mortality should humble us, and cause us to be good stewards of the time we have been granted.
Take up and read; this was the admonishment of St. Augustine to those who wanted to understand Christianity and faith. On January 1st, 2024, I started a one year reading plan of the Bible, something I have never previously done, and finished today, early, on November 28th, 2024; 324 days total. I wanted to do this because a) I had never read it in this way before, b) It would be a challenge for me to stay disciplined, c) I wanted to view the narrative thread woven from Genesis to Revelation in one long, unfolding redemptive story, and d) I wanted my understanding of the truths contained therein to be strengthened.
For years now l’ve wanted to rent an RV or van and hit the open road. A few weeks ago I finally rented a van and spent & days and 7 nights driving, hiking, photographing, and sleeping all over my favourite place on the planet, Utah. To put it simply: it was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had and it is now my plan to make it an annual occurrence.
I do not understand the Christian infatuation over Israel and what appears to be the aiding and defending of them, without question, as they continue their war of retaliation against Islamic terror groups for the attacks of October 7th, 2023. It is not a biblical position as far as I can tell, and the differences between Christian’s and Jews could hardly be more clear. Israel can defend themselves as they see fit. I object to our aid and the notion that we are on the side of God in this battle by supporting Israel.
-I sense there is a deep thirst in society for a return to the societal virtues of the past as most observe the crumbling ruins around them caused by the adoption of an evil, leftist worldview.
2) We are a culture of death that celebrates this darkness in so many forms: abortion, euthanasia, drug and alcohol abuse, to name but a few. There is a new “
1) Alcohol Is Highly Addictive: 
Every morning I wake up in a country I no longer recognize.
I am under no delusions that anything written here is interesting or revolutionary. I just enjoy putting pen to paper, typing words onto a screen, and always have. It’s good to look at the world and sort out ideas in your head. It helps keep you from deception and closer to reality. Reading, thinking, writing: it is the necessary exercise for the mind.
