Who Am I?

(A Question Even I Struggle to Answer Sometimes)

Straight talk. Sharp wit. No fluff.
Welcome to the corner of the internet where truth doesn’t wear kid gloves, and logic carries a flamethrower.

I’m Peter Vidrine — Controls & Systems Engineering Specialist by trade, writer by compulsion, and a relentless truth-hound by nature. Around here, I operate as a Fallacy Assassin, Verbal Voltage Technician, and Narrative Demolitionist — the walking embodiment of an engineering mindset in a chaotic world. I tear down bad logic, build what works, and call out the foolishness most people are too polite — or too scared — to touch.

But before anything else: anything I am, anything I’ve built, and anything good that flows from my life — is all by the grace of God. I’m not the author of my own strength. I’m just trying to steward what He gave me while the world loses its grip on reality.

What I Do

If you’re looking for soft edges, emotional safe spaces, or the latest reheated groupthink dressed up as enlightenment, you’re in the wrong place. I deal in precision — in code, culture, religion, politics, and anything else bloated with hypocrisy or built on shaky logic.

By day, I wrangle servers, scripts, and security — systems that behave better than half the internet. I solve real-world problems with practicality and patience. I have no use for buzzwords, virtue signals, or corporate double-speak. What I do care about is efficiency, responsibility, historical truth, and a faith that doesn’t collapse under cultural pressure.

This blog was born out of shouting at the screen too many times. Now, I shout into the void — but I bring receipts, sarcasm, and sharpened steel. I write about everything from theological truth bombs to AI-generated art (spoiler: it’s not the apocalypse, Karen), to the lunacy of modern identity politics, to why your generator setup probably sucks.

If you’re offended, you’re welcome. That means you’re still breathing — and maybe thinking.

A Bit of Backstory

Long before I ever called myself a business owner, one question remained in the back of my mind:
“What if?”

  • What if I ran my own company?
  • What if I treated employees like people, not cogs?
  • What if people actually wanted to work for me?

Crazy talk, I know. But after surviving enough bad bosses to write a cautionary tale, I swore if I ever got the chance, I’d do it differently.

And I did.

In August 2005, I founded Sirius Technologies with eight employees and a boatload of prayer. God showed up — and so did some truly incredible people. We grew to over 60 employees. People tried to give me credit, but if I did anything right, it was hiring smart, getting out of their way, and praying I didn’t screw it up.

Eventually, I sold the assets and contracts of Sirius Power (The generator part of Sirius Technologies) to Ready Power and downsized to… well, just me. I still work in electrical, automation, and IT services — plus part-time with Ready Power — because let’s be honest: retirement is a myth.

But That’s Just the Job…

The real story started when I was 18 — the moment I met Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. That relationship has had mountain-highs (thanks to His grace) and valley-lows (thanks to my own giftedness at screwing up). But He’s always been faithful — far more than I’ve ever deserved.

I was licensed as a Children’s Minister and ordained as a Deacon in 2000 at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Eunice, under Pastor Darryl Hoychick — a man I deeply respect. I later served at New Hope Fellowship, and in 2014, I was licensed and ordained as a Minister of the Gospel at Unity Baptist Church in Opelousas.

And that’s when things got… interesting.

I served as Associate Pastor, preaching messages not everyone wanted to hear. The lead pastor leaned hard into Universalism. I didn’t. After enough “review sessions” following my sermons, I realized we weren’t even reading the same Bible. So I left.

But I didn’t stop preaching.

I founded Jesus Kid’s Church, a ministry for children from unchurched homes — kids searching for truth in a world that offers them none. I also preach at Refinery Mission in Opelousas when invited. No matter where I serve, the Gospel remains the heartbeat of my life. That’s the calling that trumps them all.

So, Why This Blog?

Because I’m semi-retired (in theory), but my brain didn’t get the memo.

This blog is where I pour out everything that won’t let me sleep — stories, insights, theological jabs, technical breakdowns, and probably more sarcasm than the Surgeon General recommends. I write about faith, work, and life — all through the lens of someone who’s tired of fake smiles and filtered lies.

Check back often. I’ll probably be here — coffee in hand, hammering away at my keyboard like it owes me money.

All glory to God.
All truth, no filter.
Welcome to the blog.
