When I say “This time really, really”, what I mean is;
I am going to live in 1991, as I intended to all along!
Because, well firstly because I said I would, of course.

There’s no point in deciding your new project, and basically future as an artist, is that you will live on different timelines, only to then not execute.
So that’s the biggest reason to get with the program and to “Let’s fucking go”, to use what was probably the catch phrase of 2025. (and not very 1990 or 1991)

But the other reason I want to get serious with this, is because I know very well how to do it. Had I chosen “Learn to paint like Renoir” as my artistic goal, I would have had all sorts of reasons to be disheartened.
But I didn’t.
Instead, I chose: “I am going to live as if it is 35 years ago.”
Creating, or recreating, my own history. I’m overwriting it.

I’m also overwriting my current 2026 timeline as well, which is equally interesting.
What happens, if you don’t commit to the timeline everybody around you is on? 

I’m not a purist, most of my diaries are still dated 2026, and I also use modern media, like Google maps on my phone, and this blog.

And yet, I have a good idea on how to still create this new timeline.
I really want to do it despite me having been super flakey with it in the past.
I know how it’s done, the principles are clear.

They have just been really hard to execute because I’m used to using social media when I am on my computer, and to using YouTube like a permanent drip, when I do anything else.
It’s always playing in the background.

All moments which would have been silent, in 1991.
Maybe just a radio playing.

Therefor the 1991 rules will be:
Keeping my phone off, until I’m behind my desk.
News & Social media once a day.
YouTube only on traditional tv moments.

Really.
