re-evaluating.
as 2025 comes to a close, it seems cliché, but re-evaluating and processing the year is something that would probably benefit me.
46 - blogs on the year. 6 weeks I took off when I went to Spain and then re-covering my footing.
588 - unique visitors to my website (thank you for being here).
1,800 - page views.
metro. - most viewed blog.
10 - just start. s1 episodes.
5 - countries visited.
2 - bull runs in Pamplona.
literally an uncountable number of biers with friends and loved ones.
1 - new job.
1 - pretty rough breakup.
$1000’s saved - learning some basic car maintenance.
94not/87on.
1 - new laptop (well overdue).
3 - new video/editing/graphic programs I began learning how to use.
98.2 - miles ran.
66 - unread messages.
3 - times I did karaoke.
those are just some metrics that I thought about bringing up.
beyond metrics though, there’s a lot of introspection that has been going on throughout the year and I think they’re simple but at this moment, they mean something to me; I hope they might to you (future me or anyone reading this)
no other choice; never doom.
sometimes, it’s best to not understand it, rather just to feel it.
what’s happened, happened.
there’s always a clock.
to worry is to sin.
love is crazy because you start off loving intentionally and then if it ever ends, you do nothing but love with the intent of not feeling that love ever again.
don’t go home until you’re proud.
they can’t all be winners.
walk through the damn door / swing the damn bat.
I owe it all to the most high.
so much noise, tune it out.
every moment shall come.
it is a stain on my life that I am so vain.
life is a comedy.
sui generis.
LoAs.
fail quickly.
RIP Robert Cohn.
fkn care.
action / everything.
2025 has been a hell of a year. Ups, downs, lefts, and rights at the top of the year, I could not predict I would be where I am at now. it’s been the best year of my life so far, THANK YOU GOD.

IV. Documentation + Accountability
if you’re reading this, I appreciate you and what you do for me. I hope you had yourself a 2025. I hope you documented as much of it as possible that way you can look back and remember where you were. turn not into a pillar of salt, but just remember from time to time. to remember why you are where you are. it makes more sense in reverse.
Happy New Year team, to a 2026 full of life, learning, growth, effort, love, support, and anything else you might need along the way from yours truly.
from the chateau.
action / everything.
all praise is due to the most high.
P.S. I’m testing a new feature, so you SHOULD be able to leave a comment on these going forward (if not, I’ll keep tweaking with it and that should definitely be the case starting next week.)
