Two Things (you gave me a horny book)
Video up in a few days about the Camp Grant Massacre and the Spanish legacy of enslavement & raiding in the "wild west".
Also, I got a bunch of recommendations to read "My Confession" by Samuel Chamberlain. I'm 50 pages in, and I want to make a 30 minute video on Samuel's THING with women. Have YOU read it? He's got something going on, a Madonna-Whore Complex, possibly. The amount of lusty young women, their virtue intact, who go frothing at the gams for this guy is ridiculous. He does discuss, briefly, some partying with women of the evening. I guess the core question is: did he actually have this effect on women? Certainly, some men do!
But...this guy? How can one prove, conclusively, that a man fucked. He makes himself out to be quite the strapping young man. The reality that this is being penned while the man is married and old does not escape me. I have spent, already, several hours thinking about the sex life of a dead man, whether he actually had one at all
Why am I fixating on this?
NO ONE FUCKS in primary sources. Not the person WRITING IT, anyway. There is certainly intercourse being had, between the lines, but no one is having romantic entanglements during the Fall of the Aztec. Geronimo spoke of his wife and kids, but not even the notorious braggart Cremony spent 50 pages talking about all the girls who THREW themselves at him but who he REFUSED. Cremony didn't fuck at all, he was too busy being a man of science. Cremony absolutely did not cum. No way he had a son. That man did not fuck.
Samuel also cries only a few chapters in, after nearly killing his own uncle with an axe. In general he manages to project a sensitivity and strength which the hoes do love indeed. He is very compelling, I want to like him, he is so sensitive and strong.
Maybe he did get all that pussy, but the question is (and the question women often have to ask is):
Is Samuel actually this strong, sensitive, and honest? Or is he just trying to fuck?
God, I wish Cremony was this horny. That would have been hilarious. Maybe he was, between the lines, but let's hope not. I take it back. If Cremony was horny, he would have gotten his own chapter in "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee". Steve here! And Larson!
Just some brief thoughts, I am VERY happy to say this current video is proceeding as it should. Not very funny, perhaps too dark, but concise (by my standards) which was the goal. The next few videos after this are going to be messy and vulnerable, consequently I needed to prove to myself I could still stay on-topic. I worry now that I am just trying to convince everyone how strong and sensitive I am. It is, to be honest, just the type of man people want to like.
Also, recording outside will continue. Next video will be filmed at the Llano Estacado.

100% gotta be just a numbers game, right? Like try it with everyone with a heartbeat and an axe wound and surely, SURELY you're gonna be set more often than not???
PLEASE READ BLOOD MERIDIAN
Few people shit in their memoirs either. Thing is for a long long time we have understood this: to keep a tally of sexual encounters is crass & unbefitting. If one must then it must be a seismic thing full of emotive importance & the only such one I have beheld (& this last was three millennia ago) was the Song of the Remembrances of the Cedar Woods attributed to Gilgamesh
You REALLY should try to collab with Thecynicalhistorian if you haven’t already. He could be a really great person to actually help analyze these books with and he has actually recently completed his doctorate as well. He’s also an Afghanistan foreverwar veteran so you can respect eachother on that level.
& through cats i presume too
Can't be cowboy summer if it doesn't take place outside
My confession was adapted to become Blood Meridian by Cormac Mcarthy which if you haven’t read I highly recommend.
Ceasar definitely fucked
Romans did not have the concept of sex. They reproduced asymetrically. This is how they were able to lose a million people per war and not collapse. This is also why the Romans were famously stout, hardy, and austere people. They simply lacked sex organs and thereby all sexual desire. This is true and any historian of any reknown whatsoever would readily admit this, all others are fraudulent hacks. It is often theorized that Thomas Jefferson, notoriously principled and chaste, may in fact be of Roman ancestry. I do not doubt this theory.
Filming outside gives more aesthetic results, I feel.
You're telling me Cormac McCarthy wrote a whole ass book based on this and he didn't include a harem of lustful women???! Coward.
Thanks for doing the research Peach,* as a H0melessGUI, I'd be interested in the secrets you unlock, I can't even get a severe heroin addict to go see a movie with me, that's alright And all but to know, you can't even garner enough interest by them to suggest, skip the movie, can you buy me half a bundle, well, it leaves me pondering in my tent
Also maybe you could make a video about Roméo Dallaire and the UNAMIRA mission in Rwanda? Shake Hands With The Devil is a classic. And his newest book The Peace: A Warrior's Journey is great. He really went through a lot, experiencing first hand the genocide as he tried his best to save people, the PTSD he experienced afterwards and his suicide attempt. He talks about how Western military doctrine fails to account for how to deal with situations with this, and he really lays it on the French for their neocolonialism, as well as the UN bureaucrats who were too cowardly or too self-interest was to provide him the manpower and resources needed to prevent, and later end, the genocide.
I think nowadays he's a bit of an overlooked figure, and isnt as well known outside Canada and Rwanda. I might post excerpts later if people are interested?
Mashallah the Cobbler has returned
