Dear Amazon Prime, why the fuck did you let me watch Pluribus Episode 1 and then tell me I can't watch any of the rest of the season? No good will for you next year sonny Jim.
Yours, Tokenizedhuman.
It is so hard to remember what I did last week, let alone across a near 12 month long period but here we go, some of the things that happened this year, in no particular order.
Moved house
Took the family to Dublin
Went on our first week long solo trip with my daughter
Wrote a screenplay
Wrote a children's book for my daughter
Ran (and walked) a lot. Feb-June Think I did a 10k this year but can't actually remember.
Wrote about a hundred poems, a selection of which I released as a book.
Got an inquiry about the availability of one of my screenplays with potential option interest. Following up on this in the new year.
Read the 1Q84 trilogy (and a few others I can't remember).
Spent a fuckload of time on Farcaster.
Looking at that list it reads like a successful year, and perhaps from a professional output perspective it has been.
Output has been good, largely in line with what I would expect doing this for a full-time job, but success has not.
The screenplay did nothing in competition, I still haven't managed to find representation, and the children's book and poem anthology have been passion projects rather than commercially successful endeavours.
If I hadn't been contacted out of the blue about another one of my scripts, with the potential that interaction may bring, it would be a professional write off.
After such a long time trying to break into the film industry, this news, however, is some of the best I've received so far in this aspect of my profession and even if nothing actually comes from it, it's still a bix marking achievement this year, and a level upgrade from where I've been at until now.
In other areas, 2025 has been the hardest year I've had yet as a parent, and one of the hardest for my relationship. If I had to choose a word to describe this part of it, I might choose unstable.
We've had serious, not stop behavioural issues with both kids, my partner has had serious health issues as a result of high stress (kids, money, work, house, relationship- literally all of those), we've not had a lot of time for each other, we've not really connected well at all when we have, and haven't really found any way to solve that yet.
And there is still uncertainty in a lot of areas about what comes next.
In the second part of the year I have struggled with motivation both in terms of writing, and in getting out to exercise in the same way I did in the first part of the year. This is pretty much the same thing that happened in 2024 as far as I can tell.
Although writing this children's book and the news about my screenplay have given me motivation to get back writing, and the fact that I've put on weight means that I'm likely to force myself out of the door and back running sooner rather than later (when it gets warmer and my back gets better- fighting sciatica at the moment).
What I want to achieve in 2026-
The no. 1 thing for me is stability. After that I can work on happiness. I'm content but not happy, but it's only large lifestyle changes that are impossible for now that I think will make me happy in the short and long term so I'm not entirely sure if that's even an achievable goal. Like I say, I'm content but I'm generally an optimistic and I know there are things I can't change so there isn't an alternative.
No. 2 is write something. This is always my goal every year. A book, or a screenplay, it doesn't matter but it has to be one.
3. Get exercising again.
4. Get a haircut. 2025 passed by without a single snip of my luscious bonnet.
5. Read more.
6. Spend less time scrolling. That's not necessarily less time online but it is less time just mindlessly scrolling social media content. A bit is fine, hours a day is not.
So, I guess that's it, I guess I did do a 2025 write up after all.
Wishing everyone an amazing 2026.
Now go and get fucked on babysham.

Not just for Christmas, a festive poem by tokenizedhuman.
Happy holidays everyone.
Drunk on,
Ibuprofen and,
Christmas rum
Stockings spilt
Contents run
Board games
Bored names
Growing pains
Window panes
Stained with
Soot from Santa's loot
Knocked off
Chimney stack
Crack and craic
Rewind it all back
Lights spit led flames
Cold cuts and pickles
Bleeding all over the knotted wood
Quality street
Tradition runs deep
Even the pudding
Lit with ten year old brandy
And a stolen lighter
Burns brighter
Every year
But don't tell them
Whatever you fucking do
Anyone who steps over the threshold
It's not just for Christmas
It's for life.
Good luck for 2026.
