Welcome to my traditional Kentucky Derby post.

I know I've been a rather quiet Old Racehorse for some time now. But the thunder of hooves has roused me from my slumber, so here is Sir Barton's Blog for the 143rd Kentucky Derby.

Out of this years field I have some likes Classic Empire (half brother to 2015 triple Crown Winner, American Pharoah), Gormley (Ridden by Victor Espinoza) and Irish War Cry, but I'll give a special Brony nod to the No. 20 horse, Patch.

Fifty years ago, just ten minutes after midnight, at Christopher Chenery's Meadow Stable in Virginia, an eighteen year old broodmare delivered a foal.

Trixie eyed the bartender in front of her, struggling with the spigot on the cider barrel in a fruitless endeavor.

“Blasted Flim Flam tech is jammed again,” he said. "Useless bloody money grubbers, I swear one day i'll—”

Trixie said nothing but instead cocked a smile and tilted her performer's hat upward.

I'm not an especially superstitious person, but when I see two blogs on the same subject show up within a minute of each other, that's a clear omen. For my fellow Americans, see here and here for some great electoral resources if you haven't already voted.

1. I worry too much
2. I don't cry enough, but should
3. I hardly care about anything anymore
4. I feel guilty

8. My thoughts are a lot more darker than you'd think from viewing me from the outside
9. I have so much more hate for myself than the world around me where personality and appearance are concerned

I don't really talk politics, but given the severity of the situation and just how big it is, I felt like I should say something to some of my followers out there.

Hello everyone!

I know it's been a while since I posted anything, and I do apologize.
In real life I've been playing video games a lot more, I confess, but I"m also trying to get a job.
My writing buddy has been occupied so we haven't had time to progress much, but I promise you things are still in the works.
I'll probably be posting some new bits to Random Ramblings soon, or something else.

Although depending on how good my understanding of timezones is I might have missed it by up to 12 hours!

The story was terrible anyway. Not publishing that.

Side note: I originally intended to write a rap battle and enter it into the 'experimental' category. Yeah. It turns out it's really hard to get to 1000 words that way. So I switched to writing a regular story a couple hours before the deadline.

I almost freaked out when I thought this was real, and it doesn't relent in the slightest.

here we go everpony to the depths of his dark mind

Hi. I hope you enjoyed reading my latest story. I've had the idea kicking around in my head for awhile, but I only started to write it a couple weeks ago and just finished it tonight (2015/10/26).

Sorry for the malfunction, folks! Here's the preview!

Well, thirteen years sure seems like a long time ago now. I finally graduated high school only two days ago now, on September seventeenth 2015.

So, what is in store for me now? Well, I still have stories to write. I have five stories in the works and I haven't even finished the first chapter of one of them, which has so far gone into the 13k word range and is still climbing.

A follow-up to pony fanfiction being sighted in unusual places:

An article in Wonkette that talked about teleportation included an in-line link to Zaponator's Blink.

Clearly, it is time for us to overthrow the literary establishment and replace them with colorful horses with magical tattoos on their butts.

Back from the field. I did have a good time in many respects, but I am also keenly aware that I just cannot function the way other people can in prolonged social situations. It starts off okay, but then I just want to escape after a while. I honestly have no idea if it has to do with my bipolar or is just some other mental processing thing, but after about a day I just want everyone to get out of my face, no matter how nice they are.

I was meant to do some writing this evening but instead got partially dragged into an argument with family members on FB.

Joy.

Hold me.

There are certain rumors traveling around social media that I am engaged, and I would like to take a few moments to address these rumors.

These rumors are true.

That's all. You can go back to what you were doing now.

Or will it be a Star Wars inspired headline tomorrow that declares 'Classic Empire Strikes Back'.

Preakness Stakes weekend and the Second Jewel of the American Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing is in the spotlight.

So here's how they line up this afternoon.
