Right now, I am reading, "The Political Tradition Of The West", by Frederick Mundell Watkins. There is very little known about this author and some of his books are no longer purchasable. The only thing on Libgen by him is linked below.
The book begins as a sort of dive into the history of Western politics. He attempts to explain how the history of western politics led to Modern Liberalism (The book was written during the 40's, published in 48) of which the author says ""Modern liberalism is the secular form of western civilization"
The book ends with the author's predictions for the future of western society, as well as criticisms of nationalism and authoritarianism for some reason.

Paul Vs. Tyson Fight TONIGHT!
Not sure what I was expecting but that was pretty dissapointing.
The main card at least. The Taylor V Serrano fight was great and the Barrios V Ramos fight was too.
The first fight between some Brazilian guy and an Indian guy was wack.

Paul's entrance was cringe.

Tyson is 58 but has experience. Paul (Jake) is 27 and has the STRENGTH of YOUTH. Who will overcome the odds and cement themselves in history as a washed boxer/celeb that beat another guy to a pulp? Who knows?!?
Folks I am ready to settle down as soon as I get a bit into my career. I will be making solid money and already have some as well as assets, too.
It's not my first priority but something that I have already started doing passively is looking for a woman that I can settle down with as well. Unfortunately it seems most women around my age don't want to settle down with ANYONE. This goes for most people my age in general but especially the women I know don't really take anything seriously, want to party 24/7, going to college for a useless degree, and whine about small problems.
Another thing I need to work on is making new friends. This is pretty tough for me because a lot of guys I know that are my age also don't take things seriously or think about their future.
A big thing that i don't like with a bunch of guys in my generation is that a lot of them are bitches. Weak, fruity, cowardly, selfish, stupid,faggots. Needless to say that cuts out a good bunch of people from my potential friend pool.
As far as the guys who I would like to be friends with are concerned, I have no clue how to break the ice with them. I'm also honestly very hesitant to go out of my way to make new friends, as oftentimes my friendships with people often end with disappointment or with the friend dying or moving away.
So all in all I'm keeping my eyes peeled and my ears open.
