I am terrible at keeping diary entries but I'm hoping the novelty of keeping it on a personal website will keep me more motivated to write about my mundane activities and mental masturbation regularly. I explained in the about page regarding this website why I'm doing this to begin with, but I'll reiterate for the sake of elaborating and commemorating the first post!
Basically, violence in the United States is heating up, I fear that we are entering an American version of the Years of Lead with both political and nihilistic violence at an all time high in a similar way to the Italian one, and this is relevant because I (obviously) work in a field that can get hairy in this sense. While it's statistically unlikely that anything will happen to me on the job, I still want to keep a public log of my life and thoughts if anything does happen to me for both my loved ones to have, for better or worse given that I plan to be rather mask off in my writing as well as for the public to know I was somebody. The time feels right with both the tension in the air as well as the fact I've been wanting to journal for years but could never stick to it.
Anyways, if you care, my name is Rod, aside from my work, I enjoy music listening, I like new wave, alternative rock, various electronic genres, synth music, metal, etc. I also enjoy philosophy like Aristotle and the Buddha, military history, martial arts, I got into motorsport during the pandemic and mostly follow NASCAR and F1, media like film and anime, firearms, free software and eating slop. I'm sure you can tell what kind of person I am.
We'll see how long this last.
