Drumming Is Magic: A 6 Year Introspective

Around 6 years ago I started making drum videos playing along to songs from within the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic franchise. This includes the movie, EQG, and A New Generation (G5). I have since referered all of these videos as a series called "Drumming Is Magic". Six years, 22 renditions, and more to come. It's no surprise MLP made a significant impact on me. But the soundtracks and music is what inspired me to go further with music and expand my music vocalbulary. It's fun lookin

Fandom Memories: Isn't It Great To Be Different?

In this first post of fandom memories, I thought I'd talk about one of my favorite songs to come out of the brony fandom that's not only hit me super emotionally once, or twice, but three times over the timespan of nearly 8 years. Forest Rain's music has been one of my favorites and Great To Be Different holds a special place in my heart. I've divided this into three parts on when this song hit me. 1) Discovery:  It was around July 2013. I had been a brony for 5 months at that point and

Pony Dreams: a self-reflection?

I've shared this with some close friends and members of my discord server, but for those who don't know. I have pony based dreams. Not as frequent as they used to be,  but they still happen periodically nowadays. But this dream I had from a 30 minute nap was super deep and soul inducing. I just have to share it. To briefly summarize of what I remembered, I fell asleep listening to the album nuovo morceau subrosa by Electronic artist BT. Which is a drone/ambient album full of luscious so

It's Been A Good Minute

Hello Everypony, It's been a good hot minute since I last made a proper blog update on the MLP Forums. I'm talking nearly 4 years  And to catch up on the folks and friends I made here on the MLP forums, I'd thought I'd share a semi-detailed summary on where I am today, what I'm doing, and to update here that I still exist lol.    Music      What I'm doing most these days is focusing a lot on music and sound production. My goal is to be able to make a better income out of musi

Entry #36 Where did I go? (an update on Whirlwind)

I'm back on the MLP forums.....for some time as I'm posting this. I just decided to revisit and "old friend" loaded with a bunch of people I also made friends with on this site.  But to all the people who know me on here you might be wondering (or maybe not) "Where did Whirlwind Go"? Well, this blog entry will answer your questions.    1) Life Changes: The obvious response is my life at the moment. I'm currently in a part of life where it's branching off into many different direct

Entry #32 Life is getting better for me

At the beginning of the month I was at one of the lowest points of my life. However in recent days and maybe even weeks, I discovered what reality was starting to shape me into. And with the beautiful love and kindness from my amazing pastor, he had managed to understand how I felt and how to deal with my inner depressions and sadness. I kept talking with him on subjects dealing with rest and spiritual healing, and just by talking it out made me understand who I was and this was beginning to mak

Entry #31 A Very Special Announcement

A special message to everybody I met and every Staff member on the MLP Forums.   A long time ago I was supposed to do a drawing for most forum users I made great friendships with. But School being the biggest priority I only got 4 of them done out of the 10. But you know what, The brony fandom and this site community is by far the greatest gift I could ever receive. I don't have many friends in real life, and it feels so much better to have a group of friends for you to comfort me everyday. I

Entry # 26 ?

Entry title says most of it already.   For a VERY long time now, I have been wanting to do things to contribute to the fandom (just for fun) or even start thing with youtube in general. The major problem with all of this is equipment, software and a few other things. But I don't know how to start things on youtube without busting a bank.   My main things I want to make videos on youtube is for roller coaster reviews, my little pony comic dubs/fanfic read, show reviews and analysis and much

Entry #23 I am powerful. I Love God

I've been going through many life situations in the past month. And one of those has to deal with God. I realized that there is much more in life to come. And though my moods aren't exactly great all the time, or that I'm not updated with the show sometimes, I've held the friends I know here to the closest to my heart.   I have been really glorified under God. And the Glory he has, gave me friends from church in return. I've never been so thankful in my life to achieve this. And even though I'

Entry #21 Music Updates

So recently I've been having thoughts on turning my bedroom into a home recording studio. And I've been doing research for the things I would need, and i realized that it is pretty Possible to do this! Because I have a pretty decent sized bedroom. I'm able to fit my drum kit in there And all I need would be a mic kit, some acoustic panels (to control the sound of the drums) and mic interface. because I already have the drum kit, my laptop and recording software.   I've already imaged it to se

Entry #14 Thank You

I may have only been on this site for around 5 months, but the amount of people I got to talk to and helped escape my darker time frame from before makes me be thankful to you people here I don't have that many true friends that mean a lot to me, but seeing what some of you people have done to me makes me feel like I have a brother/sister. I love talking to people here. Not just about the show but about our daily lives. Thats what make me connect with you guys here.   I just wanted to say, Tha

Entry #9 My life in a book

So apart from my outstanding mental effort from last week, I've reflected on myself A LOT! However I still have a few more races to come before High School ends.   I will be running in college, but even so. Running has and will keep on playing a big role in my life. I live it, breathe it, and Have the soul for it. I still feel like I can compete for at least 5 more years and Maybe even more! But for right now, Out of all the things I struggled through and had to live with, I have decided to wr

Entry #8 overcoming the "Impossible"

Okay. So today has to be another great day in my life, It's kinda hard to believe it. But I managed to overcome my disabilities in my race I ran today (West Coast Relay's). I did not beat the time I set a few weeks ago, but finished with a 10:04 3200m (2 mile) and placed 9th. But! there is something that made me happy this race, but it requires backstory.   So about my personal traits. I'm going to say on These forums that I have Motor Tics. Motor tics is a neurological disorder in which a per

Entry #4 Drenched, Wiped, and Happy

Well. Today was my second invitational track meet.   Today's track meet was REALLY REALLY RAINY! I ran the 2 mile in the pouring rain and somewhat ended up running great I ended up doing the 1600m (1 mile) and the 3200m (2 mile) The 3200 is more of my main event, but today I seemed more focused on the 1600m as I set a new personal best time of 4:36 in 1 mile! I am very impressed with my performance today. I hope to break 10 minutes in the 2 mile next week

Entry #28 My Christmas Goals

Hi everypony.   I want to make Christmas this year very special to my heart. Last year was the darkest time of my life, so I want to make this year super special to me and to you.   My main goal is to project my heart to others across the MLP forums and the rest of the Brony community. I will generously be doing special presents and gifts to most of the members who have remained dear to my heart. The gifts would mostly be hand drawings or something else   But I love you all. I will also h
