I read a few articles online, as well as hearing from some parents, that claim that today's adolescents are descending into a void of decaying intelligence. That "Kids are lacking literacy skills and well rounded comprehension for varying fields of knowledge". But is that really the case? If so, this is something that we should all worry about, since children are the future, and blah blah blah blah.
But we do put a lot of money into education. And we have also have come to some conclusions t
I open my eye's to the sight of my bedroom ceiling,
Remaining frozen in place, getting used to the feeling of awakening.
I feel these feelings
The sensations of coming to life once again
Returning from a world from within my head. So cold, yet so grand.
I get on my hooves and trot to the window. It is a warm summers day in Canterlot
The birds singing there elegant songs, the wind smoothly flowing
The scent of the morning dew evaporating and bringing fourth the essence of the
So now that I'm officially enjoying summer vacation, I can return to these forums and continue to type my thoughts and read others in return. I'm working now though, because I need more money to back up all of my projects. Here's an update on what's going on in my life:
- Starting to learn how to professionally draw and maybe paint. I am also going to pick up sculpting again, because that was really fun and I miss it. So I am working my ass off now to pay for art supplies and stuff.

Hello there anypony who's reading this!
The busy semester is almost done, and I have a lot of writing to post. It's all on paper now, but i'll transfer all of my stuff to my computer soon. I need to make pdf copies and post some here on the blog. So far i've covered ponyism, started equine psychology, and the actual Fluttershy philosophy article will be posted too. It's been ages since I mentioned it but I didn't come on the forums as much. I've restricted my social opportunities to Twitter and
Soooo we got some stuff to talk aboot.
I won't be on my computer as much as I want to because of the ocean of paper and ink that I am drowning in. And the future looks bleak as well Exams, Full Drivers Licence Course, Final unit tests, Job Hunting, Community service hours, College applications, Law contracts sheets, and barrels of homework, both overdue, and due. And that's just the start. I've got weddings, funerals, possible band gigs, poetry slamming, GAAAH!
So my sanity is drifting a
Here's another one as promised

Hey there everypony *yawn*.
So I'm just gonna write about whatever popes into my head. I didn't do any writing like I wanted to because I turned off my computer and everything else today. My hippie friends came over for the night and left a little while ago. We turned off all the electronics for a few hours. I am pretty sure it's not earth day but we wanted to see how much fun we could have without electronics. That eventually led us to go outside and loiter at my old middle school.
Ahh
Okay, so I have developed a system on how I will be posting these 'The Thinking Pony' articles . Since it was a more extensive project than I made it out to be in the beginning, here's the new approach. Just like how Nietzsche wrote 'Human, All Too Human' in short literary bursts while out walking, I will do the same, and post everyday.I might post only once a day, maybe 5 times a day, who knows . They wont be too long, and I will blend multiple articles together so one proceeds the other, but
Hey pony peoples, great to be back from my short hiatus. My computer was kinda messed up for a bit there, but were back on track!
So today I want to do something different and start a whole new article. It wasn't planned but whatever, Can't plan anything 100%.
Now anyway, what were gonna look at today is the thinking pony. How is the thought process of ponies in the MLP universe distinct in pony nature? well there are a few key facts that we have to observe. Firstly, that ponies in the
I love a calm spring day. The sun beats down sun rays to create a subtle heat radiating from the Canadian sky. But the wind blows just gently, not to distort the placement of your hair to a large proportion, but to cool the skin and prevent overheating. And you can watch the clouds move with a constant flow, never changing
never changing.
At the Institution where I'm suppose to be getting my mind molded ready for the scary, ever changing future, I stumbled upon something. Something so incre
Hello there, glad to see your skimming across this article! Read it and gaze upon the wonders of history (Or Herstory, if your into dancing*).
1989 ~ The Hillsborough disaster: A human crush occurs at Hillsborough Stadium during the FA Cup Semi Final Match, resulting in the deaths of 96 people.
1923 ~ Insulin was discovered, and became available for people with diabetes.
1865 ~ Abraham Lincoln assassination by actor John Wilkes Booth.

This weekend I have witnessed something that I feel has lost it's touch. I witnessed love, rekindled relationships and devastating breakups.
Now I'm not much for discussing relationship matters. I have only went on one real date that changed the fabric of my being. Her name was Nicole and we went out for 2 years. I thought she was great, until she cheated on me for some Football player in Santa Monica. I guess I was too sensitive.
Since then I've had countless relationships, all without that s
My new OC Leaf Link (Or simply,me ) is now the head writer for the Fluttershy Philosophy. But more writers are welcome! PM me if you want to write or need a writer for anypony else's projects. I will write for anyone, that is, if you like what you see.
This weeks plans are

Friday:*NEW*Pony Understanding
I will also try to post the article
Good morning ponies. Either your still curled up in bed or you've managed to get off your laptop and make the big move to the desktop. Hope you all have an awesome day!
A lot of the articles I wanted to post are still being worked on because I'm studying for a major test at the moment. Patience is key. But I will make posts like these ones because there just simple blabbering about my thoughts. I don't really have to work too hard.
But any who, this morning, I thought I'd share some stuf
Today was another good day for me
The blogs entry's will be coming in suuuper slow on the count of a huge ton of studying that I have to implement in my daily routine. Does anyone know a lot about ancient history? Specifically the classical era of Greece ?
Ponyism is still driving me mad. I keep adding new components too it, i'ts running me ragid! It should be a doozie when it finally comes out. It, so far, blends the ideas of Humanitarianism, Existentialism, Environmentalism (the flutter
You have a sense of self, right? That question sounds absurd I'm sure, but in reality, it is something that can just, come and go.
We all have a personality or ego that shapes us. Our interests, opinions, and disgusts make up the base of what we would call "Each other". But what's the one thing that anchors us down to reality?
When trying to choose which one friend to spend time with, Pinkie Pie uses a magic mirror pond to make different copies of herself. As we find out, that doesn't go so wel
Here...is some food for thought. *snap*
The pony dimension.
Lets imagine that our ponyverse was an existent reality. How would the pony's of My little pony exist?
Human beings are very outstanding creatures. Our ability to produce algorithms and codes,calculate,infer and abstract is amazing. But what do our pony friends experience in there world? What do pony's perceive?
Our pony friends live in a two dimensional universe relative to us. But how would a pony see? Would it be like Edwi
Who are you? Do you really know? What constitutes as the ghost in the machine that is our personalities?
Julian Baggini does a great job answering these questions and more in his book The Ego Trick:What Does it Mean to be You?
The author answers these fundamental questions by diving into the eastern history of philosophy, sociology,neurology, and psychology. He implements actual situations that were people have experienced loss of memory, personality shifting,and a point of view regarding the
Good morning pony's!
So we now have a little bit more insight as to what will be posted later on in the week.
Today we will have another Reading Wednesday article, followed up by a segment that is called "Food for Thought".
Another poem analysis is on its way, all I have to do is pick my favorite one
And the revisions on ponyism will be added, and we will look at it more in depth. We will also ask the question 'What is harmony'?
Since my last atheistic approach to morals was poor
Now, I know what your thinking. "Lol,silly pony thinks its Wednesday, that's tomorrow"
But disregard that. I want to explain what reading Wednesday is and jump right into it for tonight. Another post will be made tomorrow still, and every other week following.
So,what is reading Wednesday?
Well, every Wednesday here on the blog, I will post something about a book that I am currently reading. I'm always reading something so don't worry about coming here one Wednesday and not getting a bo

This music has always brought a smile to my face, and a sense of warmth in my heart. Just listen to that majestic voice! And those guitar skills, makes my guitar playing look like I'm a one armed monkey with Parkinsons.
I would'nt even be into the kind of music I'm into if it wasn't for this talented guy. He is my sole musical inspiration,first to Chopin, Garcia, Cobain, Lennon...(long list,hehe). And his music is highly equivocal, and can suit an
I didn't give a whole hearted reason why people would want to be atheistic. What the article should really be titled is "a brief touch up on atheism and morality" but I though I would get more views with the other title. And it also gets people to beg the question why. Asking why is one of the most important things that could come out of your mouth.
So I was at my local chapters book store today,and something happened that surprisingly has happened to me more then once. In fact, I would say this has to be the 7th or 8th time this has happened to me.
So, if you know anything about me, where will you find me in a bookstore?
Either in the philosophy/psychology section or the science section (witch, as funny as it is, is right next to all of the pseudoscience bull-spit) of the store. Enjoying all of the wondrous literature, in my mind, a m
Goodnight folks, today was a really productive day at the office, and I'm wiped. Although posts were maid on the blog, the actual writing for the longer posts takes time.
So I'm signing off for the night, and everything will start up again tomorrow. So far nothings planned to be posted, ideas are still being pitched, weekly, annually and daily articles are still being tested and created, so we will be sort of slow with posts. But be patient and keep tuning in, you never know what you might
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes
dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hea
