Festivals and celebrations are very important to most cultures and exactly how they celebrate them can tell you a lot about the people themselves, of course. Most of the festivals we’ve seen in MLP:FiM are expys of real-life Western holidays. But not all of them are, and in some cases there are some subtle differences.
Most festivals in real life are sourced from two different places. The oldest come from the various agricultural-driven needs like planting, harvesting, or natural events like
Ok, so no big pic post today, but something that I found funny did happen to me just now.
It's like, 2AM and I decide that I'm about to starve to death so I go into the kitchen and start making food. One thing leads to another and I eventually have an entire banquet of pancakes, nachos, salsa, cereal, potato chips, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Judge me as you will.
So anyway I'm sitting there at the table just munching away when my dad walks in to get a drink of water while
It was a quiet day in the land of Minecraft when a man named super2379 had an idea. An awesome idea. He wanted to make a bomb. Not any old bomb, a huge bomb. So, he worked day and night for over a week until he made this:
This made super happy. Then he added a cover to the outside so it looked like this:
Satisfied with his work, super set off the bomb. After two hours of waiting for the server to respond, super was happy at what he had done.
And not a single fuck was given that day.

A lesson?!? That's a lame gift. I'd rather have socks and underwear.
Nah, I just have a story to share that I hope will help others learn from the mistakes I made.
On August 17, 2013 I suffered a heart attack.
Yep, read that right, a heart attack. I'm 24 years old. I'm not going to go into the specifics of what happened but here's the main message I want to share:
Don't ever believe that you're too young to experience major health issues. I can guess that I got my heart attack f
Corey Powell (the newest writer at the time) started off splendidly in the factually fantastic Sleepless in Ponyville, developing Scootaloo’s character as well as Scootaloo’s relationship with Rainbow Dash, and it was her turn again in Just for Sidekicks. The idea of Spike petsitting the Mane Six’s pets was great and better with the the Cutie Mark Crusaders' randomness. Unfortunately, JfS contains one of the biggest flaws in the series: the incapability to characterize Spike consistently as a ma
As season three dwindled down, John de Lancie returned to voice Discord in Keep Calm and Flutter On. Fluttershy is the central character and pony responsible for “reforming” Discord from a chaotic, dastardly villain into a chaotically neutral character/mild antagonist. Conceptualized by Teddy Antonio and written by Dave Polsky, the path to Discord’s “redemption” made sense in some way, and there were plenty of clues leading towards it, all the meanwhile being contained via a very cramped pace.

Season 4, Episode 5
WOW. This. Freaking. Episode. Not only is it the best Season 4 episode so far, and the best CMC episode, but it's also one of the best episodes of the entire show. There was so much emotion, amazing character development, and simple and pure epicness packed in 22 minutes of candy-colored ponies. Now, I'll stop gushing over this episode, and instead will tell you WHY I love it so much. Since I have much to say, I will

The Cutie Mark Chronicles (April 15th 2011, 22 minutes)
Summary: How I got my cutie-mark, by the Mane 6.
Right off the bat. Zip-lining has been around forever, but that's relatively recent name for it. Early references to a sliding line go back to the 1700's as one of the stunts tightrope walkers, steeplejacks, and the like performed. The version shown here is a cobbled-together one out of climbing equipment instead of a dedicated zip-lines (which would use pulle
Hello! I am Patterson Rio Tacitus.
As the title suggests, I will be putting two similar songs from each series up against each other, and by vote, you will choose which song is better.
Why Phineas and Ferb songs? I chose this series to pit against FiM. because I feel that their songs are quite similar. Not in style necessarily, more because both series create many original songs for the episodes that are usually exceptionally good quality, for an animated series. (I do not wish this to
heres the pics!
but for clarifications sake: Scootaloo and Dashie are on the same ornament. Vinyl Scratch and Pinkie Pie are on the same ornament. Rarity and Sweetie Bell are on the same ornament. and Twilight and Spike are on the same ornament. (couldn't get a good shot of twilight)
This song's in my head for some reason.
I'm not sure why I'm still awake. I don't know why this song shows up out of nowhere. I figure since I'm here and all I might as well start rambling.
I'm not sure why I made this blog separate from my other blog. I have no idea what I was thinking when I made two separate blogs. I guess my nighttime thoughts are different than my daytime thoughts? No idea.
That being said, Let's discuss the song, since I am effectively brain-dead and cann
Holy new personas, ponies! You’re the Power Ponies! – Spike / Humdrum
Spike takes the centre stage in this episode. Late at night, he is reading a comic book instead of sleeping. Twilight tells him they need to get a good night's sleep, because the Mane Six and Spike are restoring the Castle of The Royal Pony Sisters in the morning. Of course, she relents a bit after he excitedly describes the plot - the heroic Power Ponies are facing their arch-nemesis, Maneiac, but their bumbling sidekick
~Introduction~
So, the notion of destiny is one that I have always found interesting, due to the fact that my motto “Everything happens for a reason” pretty much reflects this idea- the idea that all things a part of a predetermined causal chain which is leading to something greater than any one of us. I first realised that this tied to MLP after watching Digibrony’s discussion of free will. Digibrony’s videos sparked some ideas in my head. And I also decided to watch Bionicle on a whim one
Ahhh, Power Ponies. The hype was strong for this one. Was it worth it? Personally, I don't think so. In fact, in my opinion, this episode was, well, not good. But it seems like everypony else liked it. Why not me? Well, there's a few reasons. For starters, we will discuss the humour, because that was pretty much the purpose of this episode. It was a fun romp, just like Castle Mane-ia. Or at least it was supposed to be.
This episode was not very funny in my opinion. The laughs I emitted were
Christianity has identified itself for the longest time as a religion based around goodness and holiness.
Aside from it being the catalyst for plenty of massacres, wars, bigotry and horrible politicians, it's been alright. By "alright" I mean it's been corrupt and downright evil. Jesus wasn't much of a Christian, either. Considering he supported the poor and renounced worldly power, Jesus probably would make a better Satanist than a Christian.
Let's assume the guy didn't exist, and the New
Happy Holidays, everybody. I hope you all have big plans this year, for whatever you celebrate. I sure do. But, I'm looking forward to reviewing Sonic Lost World on the final Saturday of 2013. The game is said to be a sequel to today's game, Sonic Colors. So, I thought "Hey, what better way to get ready for that review than to do the game it's based off of?" So, without further delay, here is my review for Sonic Colors on the Nintendo Wii.

A Bird in the Hoof (April 8th 2011, 22 minutes)
Summary: Fluttershy cannot help herself, she must nurse Celestia's pet back to health, no matter what!
That's an interesting couch in the background there. It has a very post-modern look, with the bowl shape. It's probably a standard given the quadrapedal lounging style that ponies likely have with the legs curled up under them.
The white rabbit is late, for a very important date. *sigh*
