2026

I don't do New Year resolutions. Everything in life is free-flowing. There are so many factors from day to day to take into consideration. Actually, not even day to day. Hour to hour. I'll have my protein shake with creatine at 8:30 a.m. I'll eat a healthy lunch, no processed foods. I'll eat a decent dinner. Then I'm hungry and think, "Wow that bag of chips looks really good." And I eat a bunch of them. Earlier in the day, I told myself I was going to stop doing that. Nope. But I am going to make a conscious effort to put "good" food into my body instead of junk when I am hungry. Of course, everyone who is "dieting" says that. I never think of it as "dieting." It's purely adjusting what I eat. Anyway, I'll get leaner and stronger again.

Photography and video...where do I start. I have some great gear. Nikon Z8, Nikon ZR, some fun fixed-lens cameras like the Ricoh GRIII and Fujifilm X100V. I enjoy the images I get with the Nikon cameras the most. The GRIII is great for portability. But it's not as fun as full frame. I keep saying I'm going to shoot more video. More video of what's around me every day. More video of myself. The ZR is a great video camera. The DJI Pocket 3 is way more portable. But the video that you get out of it just doesn't have the look. And honestly, I'm starting to care less about the actual video image than I am about the audio that goes with the video. No one likes to watch a video with shitty audio. Do I buy a Rode wireless mic system? Do I do something else? I have a shotgun mic...do I use that more? It's sort of large and in your face, so it makes you stand out.

And the house. The house is a mess. Okay it's not that bad. But we have way too much shit and nowhere to go with it. We need to do a major purge. My stuff, clothes, toys, etc. It needs to go. Do you sell it and deal with people who haggle and are a pain in the ass? Do you just give it away and get nothing in return?

Ah, 2026.
