My sleeping habits have taken a bit of an odd turn. I’m back into my silly habit of sleeping in the day and being up at night. I’m trying to fight back, but at 41 years old, it’s not easy.
So, my sleeping is all over the place at the moment.
I’ll be back, when I get some rest.
I don’t know if anybody’s noticed or not. But, I changed the blog’s look just a little bit. You might have noticed an extra column was added. This was the result of me adding a new child theme of the Twenty-eleven theme that I am running on here.
I think it makes things look much better. It does widen out the theme just a bit and it also gives me an extra side bar for all my stuff that I have in my sidebars.
I hope you like it. I know that I do I’m pretty much satisfied with the overall look of the blog. Some people might think it looks a bit corny with the American flag and the Statue of Liberty in the header. However I think that it represents our country and being an American Nationalist, offer no apologies for the look at all.
Again, I hope you enjoy it as I hope you enjoy the blog as well. Thank you all for your dedicated and loyal readership those of you that actually do read here.
Best to you all!

I smoke and am in process of finding work, after being screwed out of a job. if you would be so kind as to click the group of smokes below to help out with the blog and keep a pack of smokes in my pocket, I would deeply appreciate it.

I have thought about doing it for a very long time now. I was never really happy with the blog’s name. The whole “Thinking Americanist” sounded clunky and a bit lame. So, I have dropped the “thinking” part and shortened it to simply, “The Americanist.”
Now as for the subtitle or what this blog is about; I know some people, especially among the Neoconservative right will assume that this blog is now a White Nationalist blog. Which, of course, is a load of malarkey. I am not, nor have I ever been, a White Nationalist. David Duke and his friends have that street corner covered very well, thank you very much.
However, I am, without one shred of guilt, an American Nationalist. (Also see this too) Which simply means, that I love my Country. Nothing more and nothing less.
I hope that you that do actually read here will continue to do so.
Just some quick housekeeping. I decided to delete the “Daily Rant” video that I made here a few days ago.
For one, I looked awful in that video and for two; after reviewing the video there were some things that I said in that video that could have been taken the wrong way.
So, I deleted it.
I might make one in the future, but now, I am just not interested in Videos.
I basically decided that I was not very happy with the site’s look. So, I reverted back to old theme that I was using. I like the Red, White and blue look; some might think it is corny or even lame. To which I ask, what do you have against America?
Anyhow, I think this look is much neater and clean.

Tomorrow I leave out for 9 weeks of training in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am, as I have noted, going “over the road” to drive truck once again. Because I do not have any verifiable work experience available; I will have to go through the full trucking school again. I am not complaining as I need to really brush up on my skills a bit. I’ve been away from driving truck for 9 years.
I will not be taking my laptop, due to baggage concerns. I will have my Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. I really wanted to take the laptop; but Greyhound’s baggage policy is just too restrictive.
So, until I am able to return for my laptop, I will be putting the blog in full moderation mode.
Posting will be limited, mostly to pictures of my travels across the Country. I might try and sneak in a link or two to something that catches my eye.
For now, I will be going silent. Wish me luck and your prayers are much appreciated.
Tomorrow is a new dawn and a new chapter is this old fogey’s life.
I just thought I would tell my readers that read here all the time. My Father is in the hospital with his hip. For a while now, my Father has had problems with his hip and his leg. The pain, up till last night; has been bad but manageable. Well, last night, Dad’s pain took a turn for the worse.
Dad had been up at a family camping and fishing trip with my uncle and cousins. For the all of that trip, my Dad was in horrible pain; and last night my Father took all he could take and told me to take him to the hospital. I ended up staying at the hospital all night long. Needless to say, I will quite rough. I got some sleep here for a few hours thankfully, but I will be tired by this evening, I can tell you that.
What I can tell you is this; so far, the Doctor’s have found no blockages in his legs at all. So, they are running a battery of more tests to see if it is a pinched nerve or what. I will tell you this; seeing my poor 67-year-old Father literally crying in pain and agony, rips my heart out. 😥 Mainly, because there is nothing that I can really do about the pain or even make it stop.
I know I was telling about my plans to go back to driving truck and how my little health issues delayed my getting back in the truck. Well, those are solved, for now at least. But, due to my Father’s issues, my plans on getting back into the truck are on hold for the time being. Until my Dad is pain-free and can get around like he could before; I will not be getting back into the truck. My motto is this: Family First, Career Second.
I will keep you posted on my Dad, I promise you all that. But now, I got to get to the hospital to see my Dad here shortly.
Prayers for my Dad, my Mom and for me.
Thanks,
-Patrick
Just a quick note about my earlier posting…..
I changed the headline after getting some feedback from some people I happen to respect a good deal.
So, I dropped the profanity and gave it a bit more of an acceptable title.
Sometimes, I just write what I am thinking and, at times, forget what I am supposed to be and am supposed to act like. Oops. 😳
Apologies to whom I offended.
I wrote about this already once. But, I thought I would give my readers an update on my situation.
It is officially official: I have diabetes and high blood pressure. 😥
Here is the picture that officially declares my days of ” Work Hard, Live Fast, Die Hard and Leave a good looking corpse.” over for good:
On a more positive note: I have been cleared by my doctor to go drive truck. I will just have to eat three square, sensible meals a day. I have to, of course, cut down on portions. ( 🙁 ) I already drink diet soda; so, I am covered there. I will be going on Tuesday, after the holiday here and getting my note to take back to the clinic, which will get me my DOT card; and then, I have to go down to the Secretary of State and get my license switched back to Interstate from Intrastate. THEN, I will be, hopefully, calling this company and getting a bus ticket out to the training school/main terminal.
Then, I will be there for a week of classroom and driver orientation and then a driving evaluation; and then out with a trainer for 4-5 weeks. Could be more, could be less, depending on how I do. I am, needless to say, praying that I do well and get my truck quickly. I am not naming the company for some very obvious reasons. I still have political enemies and because of a particular group of internet trolls who like to get people fired from jobs. I will not elaborate on that bunch, except to say that, seeing I am getting back to work; I am going to be speaking with a lawyer and getting that posting about me taken down. I hope they’re reading here; because I am very serious about that.
Also too, and I was thinking of doing another posting, but I will just say it here. After this weekend, this blog will be going silent for a few weeks. I will not have a smartphone to post from. There is a boost phone that I want to buy, but at this time, I cannot afford it, and the only phone I will be taking, is a cheap phone that my mom used to use, before she got her new one. She offered to activate that one, until I can afford to buy my cellphone. I will be taking my laptop and might look into buying WiFi service from the truck stops that I will be stopping at. But, for the first few weeks, internet access won’t be happening, unless I get lucky and it is offered for free at the motel where I will be staying. I would like to get an Galaxy S4, which is a really nice phone. However, I do not want to get locked into a stupid two year contract. So, I am most likely getting this one here, because of the “hotspot” feature.
In conclusion: Pray for me, much. I just want to make it, and do well in life; like my Father did back in 1967 — when he left Middlesboro, Kentucky and came to Detroit looking for a better life. I want to prove the naysayers wrong. I want to prove to myself, my family and my enemies that I can truly do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.
Pictures and video will come. Soon. I do promise you all that. But, for now. I have to go silent.
