    "Ghost of Gallifrey"
    By Daniel Jones
     
    Two people that coexist
    A man who is fiction and a boy who is real
    But peel away the boy's introverted exterior
    And a similar story is revealed
     
    A story of losing those who are close
    Coincidentally identical ways
    Though the Time Lord can travel to distant worlds
    The Human is trapped on the earth each day
     
    Regeneration, with a different meaning
    A change of body versus a change of channel
    Each one ends with a loss of confidence and hope
    Often too much for either to handle
     
    What can be done to change their fate?
    Can any solution be stumbled upon?
    There's no way to tell if or when it will come
    For now both the Human and the Time Lord must try to move on

    A little poem I decided to randomly write. I don't often use this form of writing to vent, but I like how it turned out. Don't know if it's good, the rhymes are kind of "near rhymes", but there it is. Either way I'm pretty happy with it

    A Little Idea

    By Tech Reel,

    So I had a little idea for a series I may make
     
    The premise of the series is, "What adventures would I have had with my past companions if I were The Doctor?"
     
    I'm always comparing my personality and my past to The Doctor's. At this point I'm not completely wrong, because I have had quite a few companions that I would make videos with, though they have all left. Their time was always fairly short. So what would've happened if I were a time lord, had a TARDIS, and could travel through space and time? What would we see? What would we do?
     
    I'd like to make an audio play. A four part series, each featuring the companion/companions I had at different points in time, joining me in an adventure. Each adventure will have some relevance to the videos we used to make.
     
    We can go to some alien planet, visit an alternate dimension, or save the human race! The adventures being shown will not be the first that we've had. Each one will be set up as if we'd already been traveling around for a while, and the current adventure is just one of the many we have on a weekly basis.
     
    Unfortunately I can't just have the actual companions play themselves because, well, they left. Although I'm sure I can find some voice actors that can sound like them.
     
    So that's my idea! I think it'll be a fun little homage to my past companions, and maybe even give me a little closure on the subject
     
    What do you think?

    Whenever I'm alone, the same thoughts run through my head. Thoughts like, "What are my friends doing? They always have things to do, why don't I?", or, "Why do all of my YouTube companions leave me? Am I condemned to a life of loneliness?", and sometimes even, "Will I ever find someone who will stay with me?" All I can ever do to help overcome this, however crazy it may sound, is to imagine a dialogue in which someone assures me that things will get better. Unfortunately, these thoughts tend to work their way into my imagination, causing me to fabricate some depressing scenarios. Not even music, television, or movies can help much, as the plots for such things are either too sad, or so happy that I can't help but remember the loneliness and lack of happiness in my life.
     
    Now, contrary to how I sound, I'm not depressed. At least I don't think I am. All I am is deprived. Deprived of social interaction, trust in people, and a lasting friend or companion. I am fairly happy with what I do have, which is loving parents, plenty of things to keep myself occupied, and YouTube.
     
    Interesting...as I typed the word YouTube, I felt much different than I used to. The word used to bring so much joy to my heart. Now, all it brings is confusion. I often wonder why I make videos for YouTube. The initial answer is, "I do it because I have fun doing it." Then I think about it, and my answer changes to, "I do it because I've worked so long and so hard that I need to finish this." Both are true, but in the end I can never choose which one I believe in more.
     
    There's a few lines of dialogue from Doctor Who that can explain my feelings on this:
    Amy: Then why am I here?
    The Doctor: Because! [lowers his voice] Because I can't see it anymore.
    Amy: See what?
    The Doctor: I'm 907. After a while... you just can't see it!
    Amy: See what?
    The Doctor: Everything! I look at a star and it's just a big ball of burning gas and I know how it began and I know how it ends and I was probably there both times. After a while, everything is just stuff! That's the problem. You make all of space and time your backyard and what do you have? A backyard. But you, you can see it. And when you see it, I see it.
     
    Now to edit this to fit my case:
    Some Companion: Then why am I here?
    Me: Because! [lowers my voice] Because I can't see it anymore.
    Some Companion: See what?
    Me: I've done this for 7 years. After a while... you just can't see it!
    Some Companion: See what?
    Me: Everything! I look at a video and it's just some person doing something and I know how it's made and I know how it's uploaded and I've done both far too many times. After a while, everything is just stuff! That's the problem. You make all of YouTube your backyard and what do you have? A backyard. But you, you can see it. And when you see it, I see it.
     
    That's what it really is. Every time I get some new companion on my YouTube channel I suddenly get really into making videos. We'll both get so excited and talk about ideas nonstop. Then they leave, and I lose it. I lose the motivation to create. Occasionally I'll get back in it, but only for a short time. This isn't helped considering I also don't have too many viewers which could probably motivate me even if I'm alone.
     
    So yeah, that's all the depressing stuff I feel like writing about for now.
    See you guys next blog!

    (WARNING! THIS BLOG POST HAS NO PONIES! IF YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO



    WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY STUFF, LEAVE NOW!)


     
    For some, it would be a dream come true to be The Doctor. For me, it's my living nightmare...
     
    We both have very similar lives, which consists of adventures, regeneration, and the gain and loss of companions.
     
    The big difference is that unlike him I have no TARDIS, no aliens, or time travel. I'm just stuck here on Earth as a boring human. A human with no escape.
     
    I've been making videos for many years, this is my version of adventure. I've always loved being on camera, editing, writing scripts, etc. I would talk about nothing but videos, do nothing but make and edit videos, and show everyone I knew what I made. After a while, I decided to bring my one friend into the action. He ended up being my very first "companion". We'd make videos and talk about them all the time. Eventually we started a YouTube channel and began posting our videos online. Everything was great, but then suddenly my friend had to move away. His parents were very strict, so I didn't really see him anymore. I felt hurt, it was like he abandoned me. After that I didn't feel I could return to the channel without him, so I ended it.
     
    It was here that a pattern began to form. I would return to YouTube, make a channel, find a new companion, lose them, and stop the channel. Each YouTube channel I made had some different theme, personality, or type of video. These channels acted as my regenerations.
     
    This has repeated up to now. I've lost a total of six companions over the course of about five or so different channels. I gained two new companions a little while ago, but I often worry that they'll leave. No matter how much they reassure me, I think back to how close I was with others and how they left. I can't help but expect that they're going to leave at some point. What worries me most about them leaving is that they're basically my last two friends. If they leave, I'm alone. I really don't have anyone else to talk to. If I did I'd probably be talking to them about this instead of writing it in a blog.
     
    Sometimes I feel like I'm destined to be alone, like it's just how it needs to be. No more companions means no more rejection, right? Then I think back to The Doctor. This happens to him on an infinitely larger scale. While my companions just leave, his are killed or separated from him by force. He's gone through much worse than I have but he still presses on, having fun and continuously looking for a lasting companion.
     
    Maybe I shouldn't distance myself from The Doctor. Maybe I should try to be more like him, learning to embrace a situation and move past it.
     
    Time to look past the past and move towards the future...
     
    Time to forget the bad and find an adventure...
     
    Time to face the world and yell ALLONS-Y!

    Hey guys.
    Welcome back to My Little Blog: Writing Is Magic.
     
    First off I'd like to say Merry Late Christmas and Happy Early New Year!
    I hope you all enjoyed the holidays
     
    So, the channel is doing amazing!
    We've gone through some issues but it was all worth it because VideosAreMagic currently has over 50 subscribers!
     
    We're planning for a special video with a Q&A and video reaction to celebrate.
    If you'd like to check out our channel of reviews, analysis, and commentaries click this link: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVeVoit5WL371vuGbW2XP2A
     
    In other news I'm trying to write a story. It'll probably turn out to be a bit short since this is my first time writing a legit story and I'm still trying to get used to it. What am I writing about? Well I have a little idea, but first I'd like to get your opinions on it. I'm not sure if it's been done before but here's a little intro for a story idea I had.
     
    _________________________________________________________________________________
     
    It all started out like any normal day in Ponyville. Just hanging out with my
    friends, talking and laughing like always. We stop by Sugarcube Corner for a
    treat, when something strange happens. A bright light blinds me and I suddenly
    fall unconscious. I wake up seeing ponies running out the door while my friends
    are cowering in the corner. They're staring at me.
     
    What happened? I feel the same. Nothing seems out of the ordinary other than
    the flash of light. Then I notice they're staring not particularly at me, but at my
    flank. Awkward. I follow their eyes and I find the impossible.
     
    My cutie mark has changed.

    Let me know what you think of this in the comments.
     
    That's all for now.
    I'll talk to you guys later

    Hey guys.
    Welcome back to My Little Blog: Writing Is Magic.
     
    I've been in a weird mood recently.
    Not really sad and not really happy. I only feel like this when I'm home, not as much when I'm at school.
    What is this feeling? I think I know. I feel the same as I did when I wrote blog #5, lonely.
     
    Nothing specifically is making me feel especially lonely, at least nothing that I've noticed.
    I just feel isolated.
     
    I used to love the weekends. I still do, but for a different reason. I used to love the weekends because I spent them with my friends. We would play for hours until we were told we had to go home. Now that they've moved an we have different schedules it seems we barely see each other. He visits once or twice per year, which would be good if he was able to stay for more than an hour. The only thing I have to look forward to on the weekends now is a short break from school. I spend my day watching television and using my computer, and if I leave the house it's usually to visit relatives or go to a store.
     
    I don't often feel like this at school because I spend my time there either occupied with schoolwork or talking with my one friend there. I talk to others but I think of them more as acquaintances. Even when I am talking to my one actual friend in school he usually talks about things that happened when he was with friends or his plans with friends for the weekend.
     
    It's nice to know I have friends on the forum, but we're not normally online at the same times, although when we do talk it's fun. Especially when I'm talking to my two great YouTube partner friends: Pink Mist and Ponyboy15 (Shout out! )
     
    I don't know how I can stop feeling this way but I'm sure it will pass eventually.
    Until then it's nice to have at least a few friends.
     
    Well, that's all for now.
