New Year · 4:49pm Jan 1st, 2017

I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year!

I suppose with such an event we must look back on the previous year, and what a year it was. As I'm sure anyone reading this knows, I have an interest in global events and politics. 2016 has been a fascinating year regarding that, and so divisive. In my own country we've had an incredibly heated referendum campaign over Europe, that will potentially change the character of the United Kingdom and he European Union for the next century possibly. It's all very difficult to predict, whatever the case is it's an interesting time to be alive. Media has also changed significantly this year, with the referendum and possibly moreso with the American Election. Frankly I've been shocked at the way the media has been so divisive about both events. There's so much propaganda and namecalling on both sides, without people simply weighing up the positives and negatives and deciding reasonably. I wonder how this might change how campaigns are fought from now on. Whatever the case, we've got interesting times ahead, not quite sure yet if I'm positive about them, at the very least it'll be good sport.

In the terms of MLP, we've had a rather disappointing year. Frankly I've given up on the show at this point, I might continue watching it with friends, but really it's just become awful. I could forgive Season 5 because there were some really good episodes hidden in there, but Season 6 is just awful. So much of it's simply forgettable, dull or just terribly written. It's just been bad, I was rewatching some earlier episodes from seasons one and two fairly recently. Really reminded me of the joy I used to get watching pony, so I don't think it's just me not enjoying the show anymore. Anyway, if you've enjoyed season 6, as I know many people have, I'm glad to hear it. Don't let some cynic ruin it for you. As far as pony is concerned I've been spending much of the year writing Horse of Cards. This is where I've had the most progress, it's been an incredible process for me. Very enjoyable to write, and get into the shoes of the characters involved. It still is, and I'm very proud to be part of such a project.

And there's my personal life. It's been a good year. That is all. I don't share my life with the public.
