Hello shadow demons, why yes, I do see you in the corner starring at me...

with your many eyes and pointy teeth. Why yes I cannot move from my bed and am paralyzed. Why yes i can see that little child in the corner staring at me, giving me those eyes that would make me want to scream in the night, and try to run away to safety, but since I cannot run away, I will happily greet it with open arms. Come over here weird child, for I shall give you the greatest gift of all, and that is a daily reminder that Disney now owns the rights to the 2001 movie masterpiece...Freddy Got Fingered.

You hear that Disney!? Release the movie on fucking Blu-ray already, I'm tired of watching it on VHS over and over again. The tape is basically just static by now. also release the Greene Cut and perhaps let Tom do a sequel. Give him this one last thing before he dies like poor Rip Torn from earlier this year. I mean have you seen him? He has not aged well just like that guy who played the live action Shaggy from the Scooby Doo movies.

So why is this here? Well it's another friendly monthly update, that is why. And it appears that I have lost a follower...that's cool I guess. Honestly I fear for this site and fandom after G4 ends. Sure there will be a G5 and everything, but let's face facts the fandom is't what it used to be anymore. The slogan "Love and Tolerate" means shit anymore, and no one remembers Cupcakes. And over the years I've met and made friends with many on here just for them to go away and never to be heard from again. Not even caring about MLP in general and getting bored with it.

But aside from depression and fears of the future, let's change the tune to what's going on with me...Universal Magic...

Well obviously I'm inching more towards completion of the Plans blog / outline, and really I'm sorry it took this long. I've really under estimated it's complexity. It took me two nights to figure out what episodes had to be moved, deleted, etc. It was a pain in the fucking ass really to be honest with you, and while I do believe I've got it all down...for now...it's still a pain to go back and try to re-piece everything together. it's like a puzzle, I have the pieces in place and ready to be put together, I just need to know what goes with what.

And with that in mind, adding two additional season was a bitch to deal with. The way that I had set up pretty much didn't let me add anything easily. I had to manually change each of the episode numbers, and that was over 700 numbers I had to change manually. And then finding out it was going to fuck up with some of the specific numbered episodes, that screwed everything up for me. As well as thinking that I had already written something down, but finding out I never had it written down also blows.

But I'm getting there. I just need to finish the two acts, finish the encyclopedia which just involves me reading through my stuff and taking notes. And then...it'll be back to what I was doing before...writing UM. My bread and butter you could say. And it'll be back with a short.

But why do this clean up in case you have forgotten? Because it was a mess, the old one was a huge, giant mess, I admit it. I have no idea what I was thinking of having one large blog covering the entire outline. No one was ever going to be bothered to look through the entire thing, assuming they cared to in the first place. At least this way it's looks presentable, as well as giving a lot more insight into everything else. And in the end...I need to do this in case one day...something happens. Whether I'm gone or someone is curious or for me to look back on...it's there...it's all there. And really that's what matters.

I mean I know it doesn't matter. It'll be forgotten like everything else that I've said and done. And honestly I'm fine with that. I've come to terms with that. Hell, I wonder why the hell I'm even still on here, writing UM. It's not like it's going to blow up, it's not like it's going to make me millions. Hell no, it won't do any of that. But...I continue because I feel like I'm on a mission. Like I have to write this, and to keep going. And personally I love the shit out of it as well. Like there is no better feeling than writing UM for me, you know? It's fun to write it despite some hardships here and there.

So...for those that have stuck with me, throughout the 6 and a half years of UM (I know, almost 7 years...) thank you....I guess. I know it probably doesn't mean anything to you, or if you even get it. But thank you...I'll keep trying to do my best on here, to keep moving along, to keep writing it. It's my dream really. Just wish some things could be better.

Well aside from that, it's late for me. I need to go get some sleep. I'm tired...
