Happy New Year & Resolutions For 2026

Greetings & Salutations, Y'all!

Welcome to the year 2026 A.D. here at Southern Fried Common Sense & Stuff.

Now that this blog site has recently passed the impressive one million worldwide views, your favorite blogger has resolved to bring y'all even more outstanding content. This is my resolution for the upcoming year.

Being an American -- more specifically a United States citizen -- this year will hold a great deal of significance as the 250th anniversary of my nation's independence.

My home state of South Carolina was one of the original 13 former British North American colonies to secede and declare independence from the British Empire in 1776. As such South Carolina had a major role in the history and heritage of that struggle, which this blogger has spoken about before in previous posts and will continue to talk about over the course of this year.

This year, your favorite blogger will be posting much of the same content that you've come to know and apparently love; but with this year's theme in particular being personal nostalgia.

This year also holds a particular significance in terms of milestones for me personally. In June of this year, your favorite blogger will officially reach the 50th year on the journey that is my life -- and about 10 years left before I officially count myself as middle aged, LOL!

Looking back over my life I've some rather nostalgic memories and personal stories about other milestones in my life that I'm planning to share over the course of this year. These will include likely some important (and I confess rather embarrassing) stories from my more formative days in my struggles to become the pseudo-adult that I am today. Hopefully y'all should find some of them entertaining....perhaps more so than I myself did when I went through them at the time. 

Childhood nostalgia will also play a role in some of my blog posts for 2026; including more Southern Fried Nostalgia & Fandom reviews -- perhaps as many as one per month if I'm able to do so.

Finally, I'm hopeful to be able to provide some travel photos and nature photojournalism for you to enjoy this year, along with Southern heritage and identity posts that I believe at most of y'all will love.

Here's to the new year and hopefully even an even better year than the previous one. God bless everyone across this world of ours and y'all come back now, ya hear!
