Living My Life In Boxes (Blog of Wisdom) · 10:03pm Sep 10th, 2013
Hello everypony, this is PONYBUG24, with a startling confession to make; every five years, my family and I have packed up and moved up across the country. This has been the longest that I have ever lived somewhere before, and I can't imagine living anywhere else but here in Alabama. Dolly Parton said it best, you carry a little bit of where you came from , and plant it along the way. Despite the way that woman looks on the exterior, I knew she was smart. I like living here in Alabama, because I have put down roots here, I have lived so many places in my 24 years of life, that I cannot begin to count them all. But this is by far my favorite place, because it was here that I was introduced to a kind of underground counterculture of a repackaging of a cartoon that I remembered from when I was little, but everything about the cartoon was lame, and the only focus of it was to sell the toys, and various other merchandise that they sold. The skeptics thought that Hasbro was a sort of Doctor Frankenstein, and the My Little Pony franchise, was the monster, ready to be revived for a new generation of viewers, and a whole new generation of consumers, this time, the consumers had something that their parents in the 80s didn't, social media. There is a reason that I like living here in Birmingham, and its not just because of the world class hospital that saved my life 5 years ago. Its because we are 3 hours away from one of the south's largest communities of bronies and pegasisters in Atlanta. Brony-Con Atlanta in the Peachtree Center downtown is second only to Gala-Con Dallas, which is held where the Dallas Mavericks have their home games. Well, my story is still writing itself, and where I will wind up after graduation, who knows. Give me a shout out, I will be chatting live every day, until Friday.
This song is most fitting:
Thank you so much Ross, that means so much to me. I would cry, but I don't want to ruin my makeup.
