Thoughts, June 2025

By -
Inspired from this post by my friend, Lefty... here are some random thoughts, based on his random thoughts. 

Nobody in shape mocks your meal prep. Nobody with goals questions your routine. Nobody who is winning hates your work ethic. It's the uncommitted that hate consistency. You don't owe them comfort. 

Dunning-Krueger Effect. It's a thing. 

Hopefully 8 years of Vance, based off of what we have seen. 

I've only ever been to two concerts. The first was a performer my wife (then girlfriend) wanted to see in the mid 90's. The second a friend wanted to go to in 2002. If it was me, I'd see Metallica, but I know that window is closing. 

New Zealand and Canada. Both within the past two years. Didn't really want to go to either, at first. But they were good trips. 

Right at 15 years of smartphone ownership for me. That means 70% of my life was spent without a smart phone. 

I need to get back to keto / carnivore. 

I once bought a lottery ticket for a friend. Had a slight feeling of "what if he wins?" Decided I would not sweat it, and would be happy for him. He did not win. Therefore, I won. 

Revolutionary War is the one I like to study. Samuel Whittemore and Hezekiah Wyman are folks I can recount off the top of my head. 

"Dancing Queen" is the only song by ABBA that I know of. Interesting, given their success. Given my statement above about concerts, it makes sense. Growing up, my mom didn't let us listen to music. I have mostly been comfortable with that much of my life. What little I enjoy comes from influence by friends in High School. 

Not sure I had a favorite President. That said, three of the worst four have held office in my lifetime: Carter, Obama, and whomever was pulling the strings behind the curtain for Biden. (Fourth is Lincoln... for much the same reason as the other three). 

Elijah is probably my favorite Old Testament character. I Kings 18: 27: "And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” Dude was straight up taunting them. 

Dale Murphy is my favorite baseball player. I have not met him. Those who have say only positive things about him. I'd like to shake his hand one day. 

Empire Strikes Back. 

Payback is a b***h. 

Politics. I have the thick skin. I cannot take the pay cut. The "rolling in mud with pigs" part would be fun. I'd likely make national news with something I snapped back with. 

What is rest?

This Will Trigger The Weak

Seen on Social Media: Your Wife Is Your First Daughter—Treat Her Like a Baby, Or She’ll Break Your Home Let’s scatter the woke table: Your wife is not your equal. She’s not your therapist. And she’s definitely not your homeboy. She’s your first daughter—emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. And the moment you start expecting her to “reason like a man” or “carry half the weight,” you’ve already lost. The modern man is confused. He's told to be vulnerable, yet punished when he shows weakness. Told to be “emotionally available,” yet abandoned when he starts crying like a choirboy. Let’s get this straight: Women were designed to be nurtured. Not negotiated with. Let’s break it down like a real father would. — 1. Every Woman Is a Grown Baby Looking for Emotional Security She’ll talk tough. She’ll claim she’s independent. But when the bills land or the pressure hits? She’s curled up in your arms, needing your shoulder—and your wallet. Why? Because biologically, her system runs on h...

Polar Opposites

My friend, Lefty, had a darn good post a couple of days ago. Let's go into why it was such a good post.  Meeting Your Polar Opposite Polar Opposites For starters, people who cannot see past the surface might notice that Lefty is a self-described introvert. This author is a self-described extrovert. That would be "polar opposite."  Climate Change Next up, Lefty made the post, which has many references to the farce that is the claim of manmade climate change. Not only that, but Lefty's post was on March 12. That date marked 32 years since the Blizzard of '93 hit most of Tennessee. In that blizzard, Chattanooga got 18 inches of snow in 12 hours - I know because I was living there at the time. Were such an event to happen today, the Leftists would be screaming bloody-murder about manmade climate change.  Chemtrails Last part that made Lefty's post so good was he took a swing at the folks on the right who believe in chemtrails. For clarity, my conspiracy-theorist ...

The Problem With Many Modern Women

Seen on X, from Richard Cooper - here, pasted text in case Blogger inexplicably deletes the image as they have done so many times in the past: "In the not so distant past, she was wifey material if she was: A virgin Tattoo free  Had good family  Feminine  Under 25  Religious  Had homemaking skills  Agreeable  Could cook & clean  Wanted his children  Most brides today are none of those things." Here we will give an example of what most modern women are like in italics below Cooper's list of marriageable qualities.  Marriageable qualities vs. Reality: A virgin Been with 100+ men (whatever number they tell you, multiply it by 9, at the least.)  Tattoo free  Many tattoos.  Had good family  Comes from single mother only home where the mother did not allow the father into the children's lives.  Feminine  Feminist Under 25  Over 30, with declining fertility.  Religious  "Spiritual" (meaning wil...
