You know, for as overly dramatic as Rarity is with her relationships, she's had it pretty easy in some respects. Oh sure, she's had her heart broken a few times. Dates or stallions haven't lived up to her expectations (Blueblood and Trenderhoof) and yet pretty much after a gallon of ice cream and a day or two of moping or crazy antics she gets over it. One hoof in front of the other she buries herself in her work and helping out her friends.

Have you ever heard of this band called Hey Ocean? I hadn't. Truth be told someone sent me a link to a cover they did of Be My Baby and I thought, that was pretty good. It doesn't surpass the original but it had its own little thing going for it. So one day while buying lawnmower parts I decided I needed to pick up some music. I'm still waiting on Twisted Sister but I did manage to get the Hey Ocean cd Is in along with a fuel tank.

Twilight you're supposed to be the smart one. You're supposed to be the one who can figure things out and make everything complete. That's what they essentially say in the theme song. So tell me, why in the world at the school of friendship are you having students vote on teacher of the week/month? It's a terrible idea. It pushes the teachers to worry more about being the favorite and less about doing the job. Besides Fluttershy is going to win this thing every darn time. Let me

So, I kept hearing about the What About Discord? episode this past week. Mostly it was from various forums and the general consensus seemed to be that it was a middling to bad episode. So of course I had to watch it. I mean what sort of person who writes about random stuff would I be if I didn't watch it? It's a Discord episode also, I mean it couldn't be that bad right?

Fluttershy is probably the most powerful character in the entire show. There I said it. I know, some will note that she doesn't have any magical abilities or that she hasn't been the one to lead or to defeat whatever the big evil thing is that pops up in a given season. Yet, in spite of all of that she has managed to accomplish quite a lot for being a pony with the confidence of a doormat.

You know one time I was in Washington DC when I was a kid and we went to the air and space museum there. I was amazed at how much stuff was in there. Personally I just thought it would be a big empty building. But no, they had a bunch of stuff in there. It was really amazing just how far we've come as humans when it comes to flight.

Have you ever been minding your own business when all of a sudden someone thinks you need to attend their party? Like you know this person doesn't REALLY like you but they're inviting you because you were busy getting tangled up in some coats or they called to tell you that you might be expecting some burning urination or something later on because yolo and by the way bring a dish to the party because they don't want to cook.

Where have I been. I could attempt some yarn about how I was circling the drain or something overly dramatic full of the type of pseudo symbolism that the going through puberty set thinks is edgy and dark. In reality it's a lot of navel gazing and thinking you understand something more than you actually do or being overly disappointed when things don't work out because of a lack of experience, especially when it comes to nuance.

You ever notice that the parents of any of the main characters of MLP really aren't that engaged in the lives of their children or vice versa? Now I realize that in some cases like with the Apple family where the parents are dead this would happen. We know that Rarity's parents abandoned Sweetie Belle at Carousel Boutique because they had a vacation planned that they haven't gotten back from yet. We know that Twilight Sparkle's parents exist but, outside of that we know very little about

Something bothers me about Nightmare Night. No, I'm not talking about when you get twenty frat guys to drink tequila and have them follow it with a milk chaser (you may be mopping for hours). I'm talking about the holiday that is the Equestrian version of Halloween. Something about this holiday bothers me and in fact still bothers me and I think I've figured it out. In fact it has everything to do with Princess Luna.

When I was a kid I played my fair share of video games. I know, I know that's an admission that changes everything. Nobody ever played a video game. It's like something that just doesn't happen.

Princess Celestia recently got the royal treatment in an op ed piece declaring that she was not a boring character. Well, I for one think that this notion is hilarious. Of course, she's not a boring character! The truth is, any character can be exciting, engaging or even interesting if handled properly. The problem with Princess Celestia is that she, for the most part, has been handled in a boring way.

I finally decided to add an actual honest to goodness icon to my page and here he is. Folks I give you the Klaus Nomi pony. Now I know that some of you do not know who Klaus Nomi was. But fear not, for you are not alone, the artist didn't know who he was either. Therefore I figure some background is necessary.

Have you ever heard a question that was idiotic from someone that should know better? I'm sure we've all been there. You and a few folks possibly good friends are sitting around. Maybe you've had a couple. Maybe the game is on or you're playing a game of some sort. Then from out of nowhere someone asks that question. Everything grinds to a halt and one or more of you have to explain to the questioner the answer.

Is there a way I can delete various recommendations from things like say Netflix or Youtube? Oh, they say that these suggestions or whatever they are are based upon what I or somebody watches. They say it's fed into some algorithm to "enhance" my experience. Well, if irritate and outright creep me out are what you were going for mission accomplished.

So one day I was minding my own business when one of my co-workers tells me I've changed. The co-worker tells me I'm obviously depressed. That I'm just dragging through the day. Other people start telling me this stuff too. They say things like, "You're not interested in ... fill in whatever it was I was apparently interested here,"or, "You don't care about things anymore."

Is it just me or do movies and properties that don't know if they're going to be any good try to lure you in with peripheral stuff? I mean seriously, how many times have we seen this over the years? From the writer of... is usually a tip off that you're in trouble. Or what about when they put the director or writers name at the beginning? Ladies and gentlemen get ready to scream for "John Carpenter's Roman Fanny Pack," or "Stephen King's Old People in Maine."

Do you think that Rainbow Dash has a lot of fines for going to fast or entering no fly zones? I don't mean the hole in the front of your pants. Ponies don't really wear a lot of clothing anyway.

But this brings up a point, how do ponies handle such matters? I know speeding tickets are a viable source of revenue for cities, counties and heck states. You can always tell when one of them is worried about not making their quota when the speed traps pop up in areas you wouldn't expect

Does anybody want to hear about my weekend at Dragon Con? No? Good. It wasn't bad but it was uneventful. I'd say the biggest four things I managed to do were as follows. On the first day of the convention my roommates and I went to Jalapeño Charlie's where they ran out of food and had to shut down the kitchen for a half hour. When we ate the food was good and when we left we took the elevator.

So, how full does Queen Chrysalis have to be before she's full and gets her own hippy dippy coat of paint? I only ask because Thorax made like Zeppelin and gave her all of his love and she still didn't get a paint job or even a buff job. Heck the rest of changelings at the hive just covered her in their love beams and it still wasn't enough. I haven't seen a woman that insatiable since porn star Andrea True did the song More More More and still never got enough.
