Cross-posted to my blog on Hubpages, with some edits made.

I am a democrat [proponent of democracy] because I believe in the Fall of Man.

I think most people are democrats for the opposite reason. A great deal of democratic enthusiasm descends from the ideas of people like Rousseau, who believed in democracy because they thought mankind so wise and good that every one deserved a share in the government.

Well, that sucked.

“But the thing that got me through that moment, and any other time that I’ve felt stuck, is to remind myself that it’s about the work. Because if you’re worrying about yourself—if you’re thinking: ‘Am I succeeding? Am I in the right position? Am I being appreciated?’ – then you’re going to end up feeling frustrated and stuck. But if you can keep it about the work, you’ll always have a path. There’s always something to be done.” — President Barack Obama

Okay, so, 2015 was a pretty seat-of-pants visit to Bronycon Baltimore. It worked out all right, but there were opportunities I missed out on simply because I didn't (a) plan far enough ahead and (b) inform other people far enough ahead of time what my plans were. So, for the sake of the interested—whatever that means—I am officially moving from "tentative planning" to "hotel booking" levels of certainty. Make of this what you will! Note that it's been bumped up a few months and is now

Is it really a good idea to blame 2016 for the deaths of celebrities?

In my opinion, it's just stupid. I mean, yes, it is sad when people die, but it's not the year's fault. Instead of blaming the year, blame whatever took their lives.

- BrandontheMovieGuy

Vote YES if you feel that 2016 is a year full of celebrity deaths, given how plentiful that list is.
Vote NO if, well, you agree with the quote.

This post is for folks attending Babscon this weekend (in San Francisco) - here's where to come be social with your fellow authors!

Ireland 1, Italy 0! We're moving past the group stages in the European Championship for the first time ever! We won! WE WON!

Oh man... football really is the greatest sport.

1) Catch up on editing work
I'm really far behind on this, so catching up is at the top of my To-Do List
2) Write that guest chapter for CrossRedstone's story
Crossy's getting antsy. Sorry Crossy.
3) Write original story(?)
Only once I catch up, and subject to whether or not I can actually write it.

Current status:
I am God... Apparently? [9/11] 2 more to go!
So we're like... Goddesses or something? [2/6] 4 more to go!
You Can't Help Who You Love. [30/32] 2 more to go!

I hold that DOOM 2016 is a tragedy.

I can already see many of you shaking your heads and moving to click away. No, no, don’t hit that back button yet. It’s not what you think! DOOM 2016 was a fantastic game. I loved every minute of it.

But it’s still a tragedy.

Feels like the past few weeks have just flown by, and in some ways they have. Work has been eating my schedule alive the past few weeks. Still, in any case, I hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas today, and for those who aren't celebrating, I wish you a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

The unicorn mare hummed to herself as she checked and double-checked her ballot. Her personal information and signature were perfectly legible; every vote was clear and unmistakeable. For every category, she had chosen the right candidate. Surely, hers was the vote that would turn the tide of the election, and an begin the era of truth and justice in Equestria’s Precinct #7128!

So, at the start of this month I thought about doing something special and giving back to the community. I failed in that regard as I didn't come up with anything that seemed fitting or not pretentious. So instead I will be working more on finishing up a few projects like Relationships are Evil and a couple one-shots. The reason for this is simply because I only work eight more days for the entire month of December. This week I am preparing to make sure all the work I do at my job is handled

Hmm... well, I guess I'm surprised.

Am I truly sad though? I guess not. I had hopes after having voted for my first ever election. I had hopes that Donald Trump was not going to win. I had faith and tried to be optimistic that Hillary Clinton would win. To my surprise I was thrown for a loop. Am I sad though? Well... meditating after having a hike helped soothe my worries. So I feel lax about this whole situation.

December 31st. It's here. I hope you guys are having a good one! I know there is people who are already in 2016, but I don't care! I live in America, and as everyone knows, that's the center of the universe, or something.

Okay, not at all, but it's still 2015 here, and I am wishing you a very happy new year.

The year 2016 has arrived to Russia!
