A long standing tradition, that I've been doing since the dawn of time, is to do a blog post on the first day of each new year, usually called something like "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS", in which I spell out my good intentions for the upcoming year.
I generally don't seem to end up doing many of them for very long, but at least I set out with some good intentions each year.
Here are my five resolutions for 2026 (five is always a good number for this sort of thing, simply because we have five toes on each foot):
1. HEALTH
To focus firstly on my own health, by asking "Is this thought or action good for me?" And then to only do it if it is. I already eat pretty well and generally have fairly good habits, but the thing I think I really need to change is my tendency towards a negative focus.
I'm sure Louise Hay would have recommended letting go of that!
2. PINE
To apply the acronym "PINE" to what I say and post online. Check that it's Positive, Inspiring, Necessary or Entertaining. So I'll be aiming to stop going on about conspiracies for at least the next year. I've been doing quite a lot of that for the past 25 years, and although I've mostly been right, it probably hasn't really achieved much.
Here's an example: This year rather than saying Microsoft are evil, I'll try to help people who already know that to switch over to Linux.
To limit my looking at crap online to under 15 minutes a day.
I'm now using an extension on Brave called "StayFocusd" and the sites I've got it monitoring include Youtube, Bitchute, and Facebook, which are essentially the last three remaining social media sites I was still looking at in 2025. Now after 15 mins they are being blocked.
Essentially I can choose whether to let a bunch of deep state programmers use their lame AI to fill my mind with crap, or to choose to come up with my own thoughts.
4. LAUGH
To laugh more. Things are way too dark, serious, and depressing in fudporn world.
If one of my enlightened objectives is to make woketards heads explode, taking the piss out of the clueless fuckers is probably one of the best tactics we have.
We can either laugh or cry, but laughing is more fun.
5. MOVE ON
To let go and move on. There are all sorts of things that are beyond my control, like everything in the past for example, but I've been like a dog that won't let go of it's stick.
I want to direct my attention at the things that matter and ignore the stuff that doesn't.
OK that is probably a bit ambitious I know, but I'll give it another crack this year.
