Once upon a time I was broken. (This was before I had even considered being anything other than straight) My ex girlfriend Rachel had just dumped me for like, the 4th time (We’ve since gotten back together and broken up 7 more times, but that’s not important.) She had suggested me being polyamorous with her and her boyfriend Jacob, (Known here as Lord Dragon at the time, though he may have changed his username since then) and when I declined, she dumped me. She had to be with just him,

Okay. I'm really starting to hate this whole 'Anti-Corporate' sentiment of today. I'm not pro-corporate, I'm fairly neutral on that ground. But I think it's incredibly self-defeating. Almost every anti-corporate comment I've found on various media sites point towards only one thing- Rage.
It's rage against a system that doesn't exist.
Most problems in corporations are rarely ever solely down to greed or hatred.

And we’re back with another round. I’ll have to keep it short today, folks, as I’ve got almost 50k words to read (it’s a workaholic week), a car in the shop that needs picking up (my poor wallet! But the rental's sweet), 2,000 words to write (at minimum), my day job (writing about boring things so I can write about interesting things later), and a need to make a big meal so that the leftovers will last me every lunch for the next week (because it’s cheaper than buying six or seven small meals).

When I have a problem or a worry, when stressed, agitated or sullen, I get it off my chest with my family and friends at home.
And online, I do my best to tell people things are okay, to look on the bright side and to treat each other right.

...

So is it supposed to be the other way round then?
Because, from what I see online, I'm seriously out of place here.

What Wouldn't You Do For 800,000 Dollars?

Let's just say someone, hypothetically speaking, walked up to you and said they would give you 800,000 dollars with the condition that you would have to pass a series of 'tests' or 'challenges' to get the money. Think Fear Factor, but a lot darker (potentially).

The challenges would range from eating bugs to sleeping in a room filled with spiders to...perhaps even more sinister things.

Spike getting his wings isn't nearly as divisive as Twilight getting hers was, but that there seem to be some very vocal people trying to make it sound like it is?

It’s happened again, another entry into my Not-A-Contest! This time by none other than Fable Caster:

TNetflix and Chill? No, not like THAT!

• MLP: FiM
• Slice of Life

Another day, another failed job application... In other words, Andy is having a bad one. Luckily his equine housemates are there to brighten it up.

• Profanity
• Human

If you’ve enjoyed the million or so words I’ve written about ponies misunderstanding human culture or humans misunderstanding pony culture, this’ll be right up your alley.

I'd like to introduce y'all to a friend of mine.

Why?

Okay. Bad news first: I haven’t started working on anything new. Like at all. Not a single word. The finale hasn’t even begun to get written yet, or any other story for that matter.

Okay, so this was just brought to my attention from EQG director Ishi Rudell's Twitter feed.

And the comments on said image have everybody flipping out over two things: Starlight's appearance in the opening number of the MLP movie and the redesign of the throne room in the movie that was made part of the Season 8 backgrounds. How does this affect my personal timeline?

Answer: It doesn't.

So. New year. Can't resume random thoughts and dreams of late, but those guys on the floor above my ceiling keep me awake. Eh.

No apocalypse yet, survived again. Not that I believe in one. Still too cynical for that:

The day the pony comes to say: the apocalypse is neigh, the cynical will laugh,
for he has no time to waste on such nonsense.
And on the day the apocalypse comes, the cynical will laugh: for he was right.

Usually, I find the winter solstice season, or the post winter solstice season, to be rather relaxing. Depending on where I'm employed, things quiet down before or after Christmas, and since 2016, I've had jobs that offer paid time off, for the holidays. For both of the employers that I've had, since 2016, the work load lessens, by Christmas. The winter solstice break of 2018 has probably been my favorite, since it involved two entire weeks off. It seems as though the break of 2020 might be

I'd rather drink the hooch with my friend. If she comes, she'll have to drive home and there's no way I'm letting her have a drop of alcohol. She just took a nap so she may or may not come. I'm fine with that, though. Nothing's as bad as that time I threw a birthday party and nobody came. Yes, it actually happened. It also happened another time, but it wasn't a birthday party. I'm kind of used to this shit now so it's ok.

Yeah no I'm not kidding. That's, like, a thing. We're discussing high-end literature today.
