    Quit the Limp – A Saint Dirty Face Protocol, Part 2

    By Saint Dirty Face

    Disclaimer from The Wounded Sentinel (also known as Saint Dirty Face):

    This ain’t a “buy my brand” post. I don’t have a brand to sell you — I’ve got a BS filter and a short fuse for overpriced crap that doesn’t work. These are the things that have actual science, real-world results, and won’t have you peeing out your paycheck.

    Before You Swallow Anything

    Pause.

    Talk to your doctor or a qualified healthcare pro.

    Get your labs done. Make sure you’re not allergic to any of this stuff.

    Don’t be that guy who pops a handful of mystery pills and ends up explaining to the ER nurse why his throat is closing.

    Saint Dirty Face plays it hard, but we play it smart.

    The Problem with the Supplement Game

    The male vitality aisle is basically Vegas — flashing lights, promises of glory, and the house (the supplement company) always wins.

    They bank on three things:

    You’re tired and horny for a quick fix. You won’t check the dosages. You’ll confuse “feeling something” (like caffeine jitters) with actually improving testosterone.

    We’re not playing that game.

    We’re building a short, mean list that’s actually worth the swallow.

    The Dirty Face Six-Pack

    1. Vitamin D3 – 5000 IU/day

    Why: It’s not just for bones — it’s a hormone precursor. Low D = low T. Tip: Take with fat (eggs, avocado, nuts) for best absorption.

    2. Zinc – 25 mg/day (gluconate or picolinate)

    Why: Essential for testosterone production and sperm health. Warning: Don’t go over 40 mg daily long-term — you’ll mess with copper balance.

    3. Magnesium Glycinate – 300 mg/night

    Why: Helps free up bound testosterone by lowering SHBG. Bonus: Improves sleep quality, which in turn boosts T.

    4. Ashwagandha (KSM-66) – 600 mg/day

    Why: Stress kills testosterone. This adaptogen drops cortisol and can raise T 10–15%. Tip: Split dose — AM and PM — for steady effect.

    5. Tongkat Ali (200:1 extract) – 200–300 mg/day

    Why: Lowers SHBG, freeing more testosterone to actually work. Bonus: Libido booster that’s more slow-burn than instant jolt.

    6. Boron – 6–10 mg/day

    Why: Can drop SHBG and bump free T in as little as a week. Rule: Cycle it — 3 months on, then take a break.

    Why Not More?

    Because more pills ≠ more results.

    The supplement graveyard in your kitchen drawer is proof of that.

    We’re here for potency, not a pharmacy bill.

    Saint Dirty Face says:

    “If your supplement list is longer than your grocery list, you’re not biohacking — you’re panicking.”

    How to Take the Core Stack

    Morning: Vitamin D3, Zinc, Tongkat Ali, Boron, Ashwagandha (first half) Night: Magnesium, Ashwagandha (second half) With meals for better absorption (except magnesium — take before bed).

    What to Expect

    Week 1–2: Sleep improves, mood steadies, libido flickers back. Week 3–6: Strength ticks up, morning wood more reliable, energy more consistent. Week 8–12: Labs start showing real movement in free T and total T.

    Saint Dirty Face says:

    “Supplements are the spice, not the steak.

    You don’t build a man out of capsules — you build him in the hours you lift, sleep, and live like you give a damn.

    The right stack just makes the fire burn hotter.”

    Fuel the Fire – Part 1

    By Saint Dirty Face

    Disclaimer from The Wounded Sentinel (also known as Saint Dirty Face):

    This ain’t medical advice. This is life advice with calluses and scar tissue. If you’ve got real health issues, get your labs done and talk to a pro. If you’re just looking for a magic gummy to fix your life, go buy candy — it’s cheaper.

    Why This Series Exists

    Because I’m sick of the “male vitality” supplement circus that clogs up the internet.

    Every week I see another glossy ad promising to turn you into a Greek god with the sex drive of a pornstar — for the low, low price of $69.99 a month.

    Here’s the truth:

    Most of these “formulas” are just overpriced sugar, pixie dust amounts of herbs, and marketing copy stolen from a Men’s Health cover in 2004.

    Hell, I saw one the other day bragging about 200 mg of Tongkat Ali — sounds spicy, right? Until you realize you’d need about 3x that dose to even sniff a clinical effect. But they don’t care. They know most guys won’t check the science — they’ll just swipe their card and pray their jeans feel tighter by Friday.

    That’s how this series was born — from watching the supplement industry pimp lies to men who don’t know any better. I’m here to cut through the bull, name names (politely… sort of), and give you a real game plan to raise testosterone and libido that doesn’t involve flushing your paycheck down the toilet.

    The Foundation No Pill Can Replace

    You can’t “out-supplement” a broken lifestyle.

    Before you even think about popping a capsule, gummy, or powder, you have to fix the three horsepower-killers that choke your T to death:

    1. Sleep Like You Mean It

    7–8 hours. Same time every night. Dark, cool, phone out of arm’s reach. Sleep debt is a testosterone killer — a week of crap sleep can tank your T by 10–15%.

    Saint Dirty Face says: “If you can binge Netflix until 2 AM but complain about low energy, your problem isn’t hormonal — it’s stupid.”

    2. Lift Heavy Things

    3x a week: squats, deadlifts, bench, pull-ups, overhead press. Keep reps in the 5–8 range, rest 2–3 minutes. This tells your body, “We’re in the fight — bring the big guns.”

    Saint Dirty Face says: “If you’re only curling in the mirror, your testosterone thinks you’re a 14-year-old on summer break.”

    3. Lose the Gut, Drop the Crap

    Belly fat turns testosterone into estrogen. Cut processed sugar, beer binges, and fast-food grease traps. Drop 10–15 lbs and watch your free T climb without touching a pill.

    Saint Dirty Face says: “If your abs are buried under a keg, you’re sending your testosterone an eviction notice.”

    The Point

    The supplement industry wants you to believe that a bottle fixes everything.

    But without sleep, training, and diet in check, you’re just a healthier couch potato with expensive urine.

    That’s why Phase 1 is all about building the engine.

    In Part 2, we’ll talk about the Core Stack — the only 6 things worth swallowing that actually move the needle.

    Until then, fix your foundation. The rest will hit harder.

    NSFW • Saint Dirty Face After Dark

    WARNING: 18+ Only – Seduction Ahead

    She took me by surprise.

    Came up behind me, breath hot on my ear.

    “Dance with me,” she whispered.

    And just like that, my soul melted.

    Every nerve in my body fired at once, screaming toward the same place.

    That one spot that gets 9 out of 10 men in trouble.

    Hot. Nasty. Wet. Beautiful trouble.

    I turned. Met her lustful smile.

    My hand found her waist—

    She fit perfectly against me, like a sin that had been waiting to happen.

    We moved.

    Slow. Close. Rhythmic.

    The kind of dance where your hips pray harder than your lips ever did.

    Don’t stop. Just crave. Don’t stop.

    I breathed her in.

    Her scent? Dangerous. Divine.

    The kind of high that makes you forget everything but instinct.

    My lips brushed her neck—

    Salt and sweat. Sweet like midnight sin.

    She arched slightly. Her skin buzzed against mine.

    Electric. Raw. Alive.

    And the way she looked at me?

    She saw everything I was thinking.

    And smiled—

    because she was thinking it too.

    The beats kept us locked in that slow, grinding prayer of pleasure…

    until the DJ cut in.

    “Last call.”

    That’s when it happened.

    Our lips collided—

    a kiss so deep it bordered on confession.

    My hands in her hair, her fingers on my chest,

    mouths whispering yes with every breathless pull.

    And in that moment, we weren’t strangers.

    We were ache and answer.

    Saint Dirty Face says:

    Stay dirty. Stay primal. Stay lost in the erotic thoughts that dance when the lights go low.

    ⚠️ WARNING: NSFW – 18+ ONLY

    A night of dark techno brought out something I wasn’t looking for.

    I walked into the club.

    Music pumping. Bass like a heartbeat I’d been missing.

    Bought a water, popped my molly, and let the hum take hold.

    The crowd was perfect—just the right balance of male to female.

    And then there was her.

    The DJ.

    Fucking hot.

    Shoulder-length waves.

    Light skin kissed with tattoos placed like secrets—enough to make you look, not enough to let you stare.

    She moved slow, seductive, deliberate. Each sway was a tease, each pause a dare.

    Her name up on the screen: DJ “B.”

    Her mascot? A glazed-eyed squirrel in headphones, bouncing like it was high with the rest of us.

    Beat by beat, I danced my way forward.

    Could I catch her eyes?

    Please, God, let her see me.

    She moved like a Greek goddess, and her ass… edible.

    Suddenly, she did see me.

    A smile.

    A wink.

    Every nerve in my body lit like a fuse.

    Her set ended. She vanished.

    I scanned the floor, shifting with the beat of another DJ when—

    A grind against my back.

    Heat.

    Pressure.

    I turned.

    Her.

    DJ B.

    She smiled—mischief curling at the edge of her lips—and leaned in so close her words poured straight into my bloodstream:

    “Dance with me.”

    And just like that, my soul was gone.

    She moved against me like she’d known me for years, skin soft, scent like lavender wrapped in something I couldn’t place.

    Seductive. Taboo. Dangerous.

    She was my Greek goddess.

    And for the rest of that night, I belonged to her.

    Saint Dirty Face says: Stay ready to slide in.

    Monday, why you doin’ me like this?

    The workload wasn’t even bad, but the time?

    Dragged. Like. A. Dead. Body.

    By 3 PM, I was a pinch away from illegal substances just to keep one eye open. But whatever. Here’s your Monday SDF rant, freshly microwaved and served lukewarm:

    The lobby? Packed.

    Back-to-school chaos.

    Like a flash mob of parents suddenly remembered their kids exist.

    They just kept coming—forms, shots, last-minute panic—and, of course, there’s always that one Karen who finds a reason to complain.

    Lady, I swear to God, I will jab you in the eye with a paperclip and a prayer. 🤪

    Lunch came and went and nobody even noticed I was still here.

    But honestly? Too tired to even care.

    I just rolled around the office like a half-dead Roomba with a vengeance.

    Thank God my chair has wheels—I slow-rolled to the restroom like a boss.

    And then…

    Zoom meeting. Final hour.

    All for the mystical promise of a potential extra paid day off.

    Will it happen? Who knows. But I’m riding that hope like a drunk cowboy on a mechanical bull.

    Today’s verdict:

    SLOW. SUCKY. SNOOZE FEST.

    Might actually go to bed early tonight…

    Because I’m this close to mainlining my energy shot through a Capri Sun straw.

    Till next time,

    Saint Dirty Face says:

    Stay loose. Stay wet. 💦

  • The Dirty Gospel – Chapter 7: Mary Still Speaks

    They called her a whore.

    Because they couldn’t call her a threat.

    But she was one.

    She still is.

    Mary Magdalene didn’t run.

    Didn’t deny.

    Didn’t flinch when they broke Him in half.

    She watched.

    She stayed.

    She remembered.

    And that made her dangerous.

    She was the first to see Him risen.

    Before Peter.

    Before the disciples.

    Before the Church had time to spin the story into gold.

    He appeared to her first.

    And what did the men do?

    They called her delusional.

    Dismissed her words.

    Erased her name from the headline.

    They turned the resurrection

    into a boy’s club miracle—

    and locked her gospel in the Vatican basement.

    But Mary still speaks.

    She speaks in the silence between verses.

    In the ash of burned scrolls.

    In the dreams of women who never asked permission to believe.

    They say she anointed Him with oil.

    But that wasn’t worship.

    That was preparation.

    She knew He was going to die.

    She just didn’t know

    the world would crucify her story too.

    They tried to bury her under labels.

    Prostitute.

    Penitent.

    Footnote.

    But she wasn’t any of that.

    She was a witness.

    A teacher.

    A gospel bearer.

    The Church couldn’t handle

    a woman holding the flame—

    so they handed her a scarlet letter instead.

    “I saw Him.

    I knew Him.

    I carried the truth when no one else would.”

    That’s not a rumor.

    That’s the first sermon.

    And it came from the mouth of a woman

    who refused to shut up.

    Mary still speaks.

    Not from pulpits,

    but from cracks in the foundation.

    From broken statues.

    From visions the Church can’t monetize.

    From voices the patriarchy still calls crazy.

    She doesn’t whisper anymore.

    She roars.

    And when the boys in robes gather to write history again,

    she’ll be standing in the shadows—

    oil in one hand, torch in the other—

    ready to remind them:

    The resurrection wasn’t theirs to tell.

    It was hers.

    It still is.

    ⚠️ Disclaimer from The Wounded Sentinel (also known as Saint Dirty Face):

    These words came to me fast and raw.

    I didn’t study them. I didn’t research them.

    They arrived all at once—like a lightning bolt, like a whisper from somewhere deeper.

    If you want to treat this as fiction, that’s your prerogative.

    But I’m not here to convince you.

    I’m just here to tell you what I heard in my mind’s eye.

    Take it… or leave it.

    But don’t say no one told you.

  • The Dirty Gospel – Chapter 6: The Deal Beneath the Table

    Robert

    By Saint Dirty Face (aka The Wounded Sentinel)

    © 2025 Roberto Javier Salinas. All rights reserved.

    Disclaimer and credits below

    They met in the shadows—

    not at the cross,

    but beneath it.

    Not on Calvary’s hill,

    but in the vaults underneath Rome,

    where the stone floor is slick with wine

    and washed blood.

    The Church didn’t just inherit the gospel.

    It negotiated it.

    There are contracts you never see.

    Signed in wax and silence,

    sealed with rings and holy breath,

    they wrote new scripture with a dagger

    and told the world it was a dove.

    The priests knew.

    The emperors knew.

    And Judas?

    He wasn’t paid to betray—

    he was paid to disappear.

    The Deal Was This:

    Jesus dies,

    but no one sees the body.

    The tomb is declared empty

    because it must be.

    A “resurrection” is cleaner

    than a political martyr.

    It sells better.

    It conquers hearts quicker.

    It’s easier to build cathedrals on a ghost

    than a rebel corpse.

    So they made a ghost.

    Wrapped Him in legend,

    buried the truth in a city of bones,

    and fed the world stories like breadcrumbs.

    They promised Judas he’d be “forgotten.”

    He became the scapegoat.

    The villain with the silver smile.

    But what if Judas never left the table?

    What if he’s been eating in silence

    with the cardinals ever since?

    A ghost in a black robe,

    whispering into ears that still bend

    toward power like sunflowers to the lie.

    The resurrection was the first great cover-up.

    The lie that bought eternity.

    But under that lie is a heartbeat.

    A body.

    A silence that still bleeds.

    And in the darkest archive

    beneath the Vatican—

    Sublevel Crypt 13, behind the red veil—

    the body is there.

    Still warm.

    Still pulsing.

    Still waiting for someone brave enough

    to undo the deal.

    They called it “The Good News.”

    But the deal beneath the table?

    That was the Dirty Gospel.

  • Bang, Whimper, Bang: A Friday Survival Tale

    Robert

    📖 Blog Post (Saint Dirty Face Edit):

    Friday kicked off with a bang… dipped into a whimper… and ended with a wifey bang.

    That’s the rhythm of Saint “Dirty” Face, baby. No apologies. Just pulse, pause, pound.

    Started my day playing public health prophet, dropping a 411 on TB for a local school district. Gave the nurses some knowledge and a dash of charm—bless their hearts, hope they make it through the year without strangling a parent.

    Then boom—Captain Moron at work decides to catch feelings.

    Apparently, “I should’ve told him” about my little educational field trip because he’s “the administrator and should know what’s going on.”

    I’m like, settle down, Dumbfuck Dumbledore. Even if I told you, your pea brain would’ve short-circuited halfway through the acronym TB.

    Anyway—back at the office, where the workload was lighter than a fart in space.

    No Work Friday in full effect. I looked busy, pretended to type, and watched the clock like it owed me money.

    Cut to 5:30. I’m home. Ready to relax. Unwind. Reclaim my soul.

    But the moment I walk in—

    Chaos. Everywhere.

    Kids screaming. Somebody crying. Someone else needing Wi-Fi help or therapy.

    So what do I do?

    I ran.

    Like the last survivor in a zombie flick—I made it to my bedroom, locked the door, and buried my face into a pillow with the muffled scream of a war-torn veteran.

    The Mrs? Also hiding.

    We’re both battle-fatigued, communicating in silent nods and trauma blinks.

    Thankfully, we’ve got a secret escape door that leads to the backyard.

    Plan activated.

    Dinner for two.

    Vape shop delivery.

    Picture tube on.

    Soft Barry White.

    And a solid hour of neighbor-roasting (If you’re reading this, neighbor… it definitely wasn’t about you. 🫣).

    Then the candles get lit.

    The music gets low.

    And we do what emotionally exhausted, beautifully filthy, married saints do best.

    Until next time,

    Saint Dirty Face

    Stay wild. Stay wet. Stay unapologetically you.

  • Friday Jr. and the Fudge-Packin’ Circus

    Robert

    Thursday came and went like an unwanted stepchild—barely noticed, definitely not invited to stay. But guess what’s next? TGIF, baby! We’re so close I can smell the cheap beer and sweet freedom.

    But let me rewind this dumpster fire of a Thursday. Found out the suits I momentarily work for decided they don’t want to keep me or some of my crew. Why? Because the almighty federal and state grants didn’t stretch far enough. And God forbid the actual employer—think city government here—would pull their heads out of their budget spreadsheets and match the funds.

    Nah, these clowns wouldn’t know loyalty if it came up and bit their fudge-packin’ ass. And then, cherry on top? I find out their “new budget strategy” magically found extra funds—which they’re using to buy office furniture and shiny new computers.

    Seriously, you blimey cunts?

    But here’s the kicker: I don’t even care anymore. I gave these people five loyal years, and when you cross me, well… let’s just say hell and high water both take notes. Not petty, just Saint Dirty Face doing what he does best—letting karma pack their sorry asses.

    So what did Thursday look like for me? Picture this: me kicking back, surfing the web like a pro, answering one lonely email every 5 hours just to keep up appearances, then diving back into my game. Relaxed. Untouchable. At peace.

    I’m not worried. Not even close. Yeshua’s got the next chapter lined up, and I’ll land where I’m meant to land.

    Evening rolled in, and I took my queen on the only pilgrimage that matters—Walmart snack runs. We strolled those aisles like gods of junk food, Ozzy blaring, driving down the road of destiny with the Mrs. by my side.

    Till tomorrow…

    Live hard, bitches.

    How 30+ Years in the Trenches Taught Me More Than Any Textbook Could

    By Saint Dirty Face (aka Robert, RN)

    You’ve got questions—about health, about the system, about survival when life starts coughing blood (literally or metaphorically).

    And I’ve got answers. Not the kind you get from a script. The kind you earn after 30+ years deep in the guts of the beast.

    I’m not here to dazzle you with degrees or hospital buzzwords. I’ve run acute care units, supervised emergency public health programs on the Texas-Mexico border, and spent years making sure treatment didn’t stop at the Rio Grande. I’ve held the hands of the dying, led teams through system overhauls, and been handed awards I never asked for. Why?

    Because I showed up when it counted—and I still do.

    💬 So what’s this blog series about?

    It’s a space for real talk. No fluff. No fear. Just raw, honest insight from someone who’s been in the rooms most people avoid.

    You want to know…

    What it’s really like to manage cross-border disease outbreaks? How to talk to a nurse when you feel unheard in a clinic? What your doctor didn’t explain about your diagnosis—but should’ve? What to do when your body’s falling apart and Google’s feeding your panic?

    Ask me. I’ve seen it. I’ve handled it.

    Hell, I’ve probably trained someone who’s handling it right now.

    🩻 Who is this for?

    Anyone who’s ever:

    Sat in a waiting room and thought, “What the hell is going on back there?” Wanted a second opinion but didn’t know how to ask. Been scared, overwhelmed, or straight-up pissed at how healthcare works (or doesn’t).

    This blog is for the patients, the burned-out nurses, the worried parents, the silent fighters.

    And if you’re just curious about how healthcare actually functions behind the curtain—or you’re training to be part of the system—stick around.

    I’ve got stories you won’t find in your textbooks.

    Got a question?

    Want to stay anonymous?

    No problem. Just drop it in the inbox.

    No judgment. No sugarcoating. Just the truth.

    You don’t have to face the system alone.
