I had a random encounter with the headless horseman last night.
Well, I guess I'll just tell you what was happening.

I was walking along the mountain near my town. It was only a couple of miles away. There was a path, and it led from the town along the mountains and even into other towns.
Well, I heard a couple of people when I was walking on the path. It was night, and I was alone so I kind of started sneaking. I didn't really want people to know I was there in case they were thugs or bandits or something. (Hey. It could happen. Probably a lot.)

So, the left side of the path kind of had a wall of dirt. It sounded like the voices were coming from on the other side or on top. So I stayed closer to the wall to avoid being detected.

And that's when it happened. I looked along the path and I saw a deer running away from something. And up from the hill came the headless horseman. I could literally see right through him and his ghostly horse.
At first I thought it was creepy, but he just rode on by without paying any attention to me.
I was relieved that nothing happened.
But then it occurred to me that I should follow him.

Long story short, I did. And he led me to a grave yard. There were a couple of skeletons I shot down with my bow and I looted the hidden chest there.



I was talking about skyrim guys

No new year resolutions (except maybe 1920x1080), no top albums/movies/books list, so many things were and still are good.

I really enjoyed all the connections I made, all the doors I opened, all the words I shared, all the sounds I unearthed, oh I enjoyed so much. The rest was good too, but much less important to impart on this digital paper. Most of you know it anyways, no need to repeat it. So I focus on the good, and what it can give us.

And I feel it in my bones and my full belly, that next year will bring a lot of good to pass around too! So, my friends, let's make it so. Together.

Happy new year everyone!

[Freewave]

Well happy new year all, I know it feels REALLY weird this year with the state of the community (if you can call it that anymore). I wish things were different and people were posting their top pony songs and albums for the year lists, hanging out in familiar sites, or talking more positively about it all. It was a fun ride and maybe it won't fully end. Either way I hope you all have a good year.

I'm a little late but happy new year! :)

over the course of the last like, 8-9 months, my "focus/obsession" has slowly been turning from pony back into pokemon.
Like, there is a lot of pokemon content thats still new to me, and pony seems to be kind of juiced dry at the moment.
I think that if I were more inactive with the pony scene, my interest would eventually return.

Similarly, I played pokemon in elementary and middle school, but stopped and now my interest is back.
And I played kingdom hearts 1 and 2 and then now my interest in that franchise is picking up again with the new content thats finally coming out.
So, maybe given some time, I'll get my interest back in this too. idk

I'll actually regain an interest in Pokémon when they actually wise-up and start exploring the mysterious traits of the pokémon. Like the best pokémon; Xatu. Such an awesome concept and great mystery surrounding the pokémon, but never once is any of the potential explored.

Instead we get a copy/paste of a game and a TV show that really needs to drop Ash, or make him smart again and become a pokémon master already.

If you haven't played the Pokemon mystery dungeon games, then you're really missing out because they do a lot better at the concept of Pokemon than the other games and even the show.

Mystery Dungeon Blue Rescue Team is why I even really like Xatu xD (I got really far in to it, and loved every second. Except that Tiny Woods song. So annoying xP)

Mystery Dungeon is great (judging by the first game) and Colosseum was also pretty cool. Anything else just seems to lack originality. Although I do hear rumors of improvements :P

If you have only played the first mystery dungeon game, I highly recommend picking up the 2nd and the 4th as those two are the best in the entire series so far.

[Bronies Are Cool]

Yea. So I deleted 99.999% of everything pony related on my phone.
Now, I have a bunch of t-shirts and wall art to do something with. Idk what though. I'm basically un-bronied now. :/ it's weird. Because it was something I've been so interested in for so long.
But now that I moved out, I feel like I just don't really care for it anymore.
Like, almost not at all.
I'm just upset because I spent so much money on the convention and getting my art, and now I'm getting rid of it all.

[Toothpaste]

Hey, if it's upsetting you to be rid of something, then just keep it. And if you don't wanna do that, I'm sure there are other people who would want it xP

[DJ TATCM]

rip dj soaringflight :'(

[FLAOFEI]

Sometimes I wonder if that's why I'm still a brony... Then I think about the friends I've made, and all the refferences we can share. I think that's a pretty big reason why I'm still a brony, cause it's something fun to share with my friends. If it wheren't for them I'd probably be way less up to date on what's going on in the fandom. I'd still watch the show tho :P

I don't see why you want to get rid of your stuff tho. You could just put it away somewhere, in a box, on the atic, or in the basment, or in your closet (hihi, then you'r a closet bronie :P).
Then again, I'm pretty much a hoarder... So you shouldn't take advice from me about keeping or getting rid of stuff.

[ExoBassTix]

Lol, the only reason I still haven't seen the majority of Season 5 episodes is because I still haven't been together with a friend of mine that I'd watch the show with. I don't wanna watch it with any of them having already seen it myself. (I'm not very good at being friends, what with having little (to no) successful life experience, so it's taking ages for me and one of my irl (but also online) brony friends to finally get together. Doesn't help I'm also busy as shit.)

[Bronies Are Cool]

It's funny how a car crash, even minor ones, can change so many plans. :/

Hmmm. Well if you're literally getting rid of your pony stuff send me a few photos of what you have and I'll see if i'm interested in any of them (i will toss you some $ if there's anything i want). I'll be honest that I'm withdrawing from pony stuff too to a slower degree so not sure what i'd be interested in (i mainly got art at past conventions for my kid's walls and that was only at the first rotlcon) but it would help you avoid any shipping or trashing it all.

[ExoBassTix]

I too might be interested, though it'd come with quite some shipping, what with the ocean between us.

[Bronies Are Cool]

I'll either text or Skype you the pictures. I already sent the pictures of most of the art I had to Freewave on skype.
Eco, I have a bunch of shirts too. They're pretty much. Al size large except one size medium.

[Fl Brony]

I havent been here for quite some time kek
so uh
as it turns out theres a good possibility that I might not graduate with my class if I don't manage to get my credits up before my senior year
so thats sort of slowed down my music
hopefully I can get back to it tbh i kind of miss it
ill prob do some weeb song cause thats like my latest obsession
im also trying to get back into the fandom more
I havent even seen any of the newest season lol
has anyone whose seen tell me if its any good?
season 4 was a bit iffy for me to be honest

[FLAOFEI]

I thought it was good... That's probably not much help tho since I haven't realy reflected on why I like it. :P

[Bronies Are Cool]

I'll say that it was alright.
Definitely not the best season to date. There were some fun episodes and some that I just didn't care for.
I think what makes the 5th season so hard to really have a good review about it is that it started over a year ago and ended a lot more recently. The split makes it harder to remember all about the season. (Because I didn't go back to watch the first half a second time.)
But, overall, expect your typical pony shenanigans.

I'm likely going to pass on what you sent me BAC. I appreciate you getting those thumbnails to me as quickly as you did but i didn't see anything i had to grab as we have some different tastes in art and I haven't grabbed any art the last 2 cons.

Well it was ok overall. Not far off from what season 4 offered tbh. The Rarity trilogy was a highlight and the premiere's and finale were pretty solid. Does it feel like the show never quite regained its footing and direction after S3? Yes, unfortunately.

Here's my favorites if you want to cherry pick but shows how i feel about the show from season to season and what my favs still are. I still think its worth seeing the new season in order if you haven't...it's not worth skipping if completely if you retain any affection for it.

TBH 2 years of Gravity Falls have been a whole lot better then the last 2 years of MLP. Maybe I should have been music for that fanbase but i never got very musically influenced by that show at all.

[Bronies Are Cool]

So I've been watching a bunch of streams on picarto and I found a gem.
This guy on the stream was being super casual, had maybe 3 people watching his stream but he made some really good music.
After having a really rad conversation, I sound out he's kind of big. Like, 18.5K followers and was promoted on Mr.SuicideSheep and has been winning or placing on contests and stuff.
Yea. That was pretty cool.

If you need anything that's really small and has loadsa knobs, well if you have an iDevice, get TouchOSC. Sets your iDevice up as a MIDI device over WiFi.



Two days ago I randomly updated some Cydia packages on my iPhone (the jailbreak stuff) and guess what, the thing you fear the most as a jailbreaker happened. I got stuck on the Apple logo in the boot sequence. Luckily I still had access to my phone through my laptop, but limited. I managed to backup my contacts, text messages and photos, but not app data, mail, and most importantly, my fucking notes (the latter I actually forgot damnit). I can't believe it. I'm devastated I lost all of my notes.

So now I'm on iOS 7, instead of the iOS 6 I've had for the last few years. And holy shit I hate it so much. Design-wise, it's worse than how FL Studio went from 11 to 12, and that was a load of horsecrap already. Photos is terrible, Safari is disgusting, the passcode screen is annoying, there are -lots- of simple little features that got sent to shit. I feel pretty damn horrible about it all, especially since I'm stuck with it. And I doubt much of it will have publicly available tweaks in the jailbreak world to revert them back to how they're supposed to be.
