    Hello everypony and everycreature here on MLP Forums...
    I wanna make this blog to address something after giving it a little more thought. I decided that I will not leave here because I have made quite a bit of friends here since joining these forums 5 1/2 years ago. With that said, within the next few months there might be a chance or two... or three etc. of me being on a Hiatus. Just to cool off with everything going on. 2020 has been quite the year for me and not necessarily in a good matter either. I just been having these weird vibes with everything going on that people don't really like me or want me around because of the things that I like. Hopefully they are not true but we are very much in an unrest worldwide with everything going on. With that said, I would like to thank all of the friends that are still on my side and understand the way that I am. It really helps me go through day by day and even at times put a smile on my face. I know I said that I was strongly considering leaving but I am here to stay.
     
    Thanks for reading and stay awesome everyone.

    I know for years now, I've had a negative and bad view on life and myself. Slowly but surely that is changing. I'm starting to see how much good there can be out there. How much worth I am to friends and family and my abilities in society. I know I've struggled with various things and still do but I gotta keep remembering that good things can happen in life to good people. It's just how this world is. With time, everything I want that will bring me happiness will happen.
    Do I wish all the bad things in life never happened? Of course I do. I suppose we all think that way for ourselves but everything in life happens for a reason they say. All the good and bad things in life have made me who I am today. I can't let the bad and negative things be my view on life and the world or describe who I am as a person.
    Life is like a roller coaster, it has its ups and downs but either you choose to fear it or you enjoy it and make it the best damn ride you've ever been on.

    So yesterday, my package of Japanese imported Kit Kat bars arrived in the mail after a whole month of "expedited" shipping. I have decided to type up a blog about it all so far and my opinions of the flavors that I have tried.
    1) Green Tea Kit Kat:
    This one was an interesting flavor to me. As someone who has never tried green tea before (I only drink sweet tea), I had no idea what to expect from this one. It was not bad but I did taste a lot of the chocolate that was still in the bar itself so there wasn't a whole lot of distinct "green flavor" taste to me. However, it did leave a minor aftertaste but it wasn't so bad. I would try this one again but if someone offered it to be but it wasn't one that I'd be overly excited for. Overall rating: 7.5/10
     
    2) Raspberry Kit Kat:
    This is one of the ones that I would love to see imported in the US. As soon as you bite into the Kit Kat bar, the Raspberry flavor rushes in. It was a very sweet raspberry flavor too and pretty right on with it too. Almost as if I was actually eating a raspberry (kudos to them for achieving that). Overall, this is a Kit Kat flavor I would buy again and one that I would recommend to others too. Overall rating: 9/10
     
    3) Caramel Pudding Kit Kat: 
    Okay, so I didn't know what to expect with this one really. After all, I've never heard of "caramel pudding" anyways (Is it in the US?). This has been the best one that I have tried so far. The caramel flavor is very sweet. In fact, it was so good that I wanted to have another bar (don't have any more  ). This is definitely a flavor I would buy again and recommend to others. Hopefully down the road, it will be in US stores too (one can only hope). Overall Rating: 10/10 PERFECT!
     
    4) Shinshu Apple Kit Kat:
    this was a flavor that was pretty mediocre to me (and I like apples too). At first It was pretty good, as if I was biting on a freshly ripe apple but then the flavor turned sour and it left a very bad after taste in my mouth that was nearly impossible to get rid of, even with soda. This is a flavor I can say that I don't recommend others to try all that much. It was a bit of a letdown flavor to me. Overall Rating: 5/10
     
    I have not tried all of the flavors that I have just yet so I will be making a part 2 of this review. So far, it's been a very interesting experience to try all of these different Kit Kats. I never knew there could be sooo many different flavors of them and it's been very fun to try them all too.

    I'm making this blog because I am curious about something.
    I've always been the type that wants to better myself no matter what it is. I always good at the heart but often times I'm not sure how it's perceived by others so I have this question to everyone. What do you guys think of me? Am I a good person or am I not so good? I'm asking for an honest answer too because it can only help me. I know everyone has flaws and nobody is perfect but the problem with me is that when I self criticise me to be a better person, my flaws that I need to improve on isn't as obvious to me.

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm still skeptical to make this blog post but I know I will eventually have to get to this point to at least let my friends know about things so I might as well let everything out here. 
    So for the past few weeks, my mind has been all over the place about life. I realise that I haven't been to happy about myself (hell, I can even say that at times I despised and HATED myself). I've been like this for years mainly due to some deep and dark stuff that has happened in the past. Because of this, I feel that I would be a lot happier if I was a girl so after doing some thinking, I am now transgender. Now, I know I will probably have people that will disagree with me or maybe even despise or hate me after reading all of this and that's fine. I'm not gonna put up a fight if anyone unfollows me from this because I want to live life happy and actually being okay with myself (I mean, haters gonna hate, right?). None of my interests or hobbies are changing because that has always been one of the few things I have actually been happy and proud of about me because they make me so unique. 
    Now as for my OC/ponysona, I will still use the name Twisted Cyclone and still have the same cutie mark but she will look a bit different for now on. Here's what she will look like. I know, I used Pony Creator but I suck at making stuff. lol

    Today, I purchased a new car. It's my first new car I've ever owned and it's a beauty too! It's a 2016 Dodge Charger "Blacktop Edition". I'll post more pictures of it tomorrow. It ain't a Hellcat or an SRT but it's still awesome tho that may be me being biased. lol

    Yes I know it's Tuesday and not Thursday but I did want to make this blog while it's on my mind.
     
    For this "Throwback Thursday" we will look back at how much I have improved in drawing. And believe me, I have improved. In an bit over a year's time too.
     

    My first MLP Drawing (November 4, 2014) It looks bad and will look like it will take forever to improve on. Right?
     



    My most recent pony drawings from November/December-ish 2015. Yes I did improve a bunch. I'm really pleased about how much I improved too. And it will only get better than this.

    I might decide to do a blog post every Thursday about the past. For this Throwback Thursday, we're going to take a look at my very first (extremely bad) drawing and look at my most recent best drawing. There is a bunch of differences between the two.
     

    My (bad) first drawing. (November 4, 2014) I still wasn't really into drawing then as much as I am now. I actually started to be in the mood to improve and draw about two/three weeks ago.
     

    Daring Do Drawing (January 14, 2015)
     
    Yeah there's a lot of improvements.

    Hello everypony. For this blog entry, I'm going to share a dream that I had last night but first I have to explain a couple things. Today is my first day of school after a (pretty good) 2 week break. Also, like usual none of my dreams make sense so don't expect this one to be any different.
     
    So let the story begin........
     
    My dream starts off me waking up to go to school. Everything is the same as usual. I get dressed, eat a good breakfast, watch a little TV and be on my way. As soon as I walked outside I see Rainbow Dash (human form) approach my house. I greeted her and she greeted back. She says that she's staying in my neighborhood for a few months and is starting her first day at my school. I talked to her for a while and offered her a ride to school. She agreed and we drove off from my house to school. When we walked into the school building, I asked her what schedule she has and she has all of the same classes that I have. Same class periods too. I showed her around the school, introduced her to some of my friends too. She got along with them as well. She especially likes the conversations I have with them. So the classes went on like normal. Later on in the dream I drove her home and she thanked me for being nice. Then I woke up...
     
    It was a pretty interesting dream to say the least. I just thought I would share it.

    Okay so I wasn't planning to use this song today. I heard it for the first time on 97 Country today and I'm like "Okay I gotta use this song for today because it's so awesome." XD
     
    The song is called "Two Dozen Roses" by the group Shenandoah. An instant top-15 favorite song of mine ever since I heard it. "Two Dozen Roses" was released on August of 1989 and reached #1 on the American and Canadian Country Music Charts in December of 1989.
     
    Ah, if only the radio stations around my area would play more of a mix between the old music and the newer country music.
  15. Twisted Cyclone 🚓
    Okay I must admit, I am 100% guilty of liking the country pop music from the 1990s and 2000s (completely different than the country pop of today mind you). This song is called Breathe by Faith Hill and was released to both the pop radio and the country radio stations on October 4, 1999 and reached #2 on the Billboard charts. Aside from the United States and Canada, the song even hit the charts around the world including Australia, the UK, and Italy. This was the song that was nominated in the 2000 Grammys for Song of the Year.
  16. Twisted Cyclone 🚓
    Okay so for song #2, we're going into more of today's country music with the pop influence. The song I picked for today is "Night's On Fire" by David Nail. Night's On Fire was released on the radio and as a single on July 20, 2015. It topped #21 on the American Hot Country Charts, #14 on the Country Airplay charts. It even reached the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at... well... #100.
  17. Twisted Cyclone 🚓
    I am kicking off a new blog I had in mind. Everyday I will post a country song for listening purposes and some information about the song too.
     

     
    For the first song, I decided to choose one of my all time favorite country songs. One Step Forward by the California group the Desert Rose Band. One Step Forward was released as a single and on the radio waves on October 26, 1987 and topped #2 on the country music charts. This song was on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the fictional radio station K-Rose.

    Happy New Years everypony. I hope you are all will have a great 2015. Life can be rocky and life can be good. 2014 was one of the rockier points of my life. From depression to issues in life but I can strive to have a better 2015.
     
    The happier moments of 2014
    I've joined this forum back on November 1st and met a lot of new friends that have been supportive. My majority of my depression has been lifted and gone because of it.
    I've ended my 18 year search for a talent. I feel proud and confident of my drawings and have gotten positive feedback on them.
    I'm in my senior year of High School. Looking forward to graduate in 2015.

    Shoutouts
    0blivion - You are awesome. You have great music tastes and are very supportive. I enjoy talking to you. I thank you for that and keep being awesome.
    TheWritingTrickster - I thank you for also being supportive of my drawings. You are also awesome to talk to and you make great writings. I can't wait to see more of them.
    Storm Shine - Every day you make me laugh one way or another. You always seem happy and that's what I like.
    ooBrony - You are very nice and kind. You also make me feel great about everything in life. You've helped me in my darkest times in life. For that I say thanks.
    Petrus - You are great to talk to. You make my day and I appreciate all the support from you. For that I say thank you.
    Worldfrog - Even though I haven't known you for a very long time, you are nice and kind and you've helped me, like everypony has, gain confidence and make me better overall. Thanks.
    CC_FlutterMaud - I love your music tastes. Thank you for also been real kind to me.
    V1NYL_DA5H - Again, although I haven't known you for super long. You've been really kind and supportive. I enjoy talking to you and I seem to think you enjoy talking to me as well.

    Finally, I would love to thank everypony (I wish I can name every single one but the blog will be very long. If I didn't specifically name you in the blog, this shoutout is for you. Please don't get mad at me because I honestly feel bad that I can't name everypony one by one.) for welcoming here and greeting me here with open arms when I first joined. Because of all of you, I feel very welcomed to be here. Everypony here has been so nice and friendly to me words cannot describe how much that makes me happy. If if wasn't for everypony here, I honestly don't know what would my life be now if it wasn't for everypony here.
     
    Last but not least my New Year's resolution
    My New Year's resolution is to enjoy life a bit more. I also want to think more positive about everything and be more happy and less depressed. 2014 is over. It's time to forget the bad things of the past and look forward to the future. Create the next chapter in life instead of reliving the old chapter.
     
    So for this being my final blog of 2014 (It's 9:20PM where I live) I wish each and everypony a Happy New Year!

    Hello everypony. I hope you all are having a good day. I am making this blog post to rant on something I saw earlier today.
     
    Alabama Crimson Tide is my favorite college. I am a HUGE fan of them. I try to watch every college football game of theirs and cheer them on. As a Tide fan, I was pretty disgusted on the decision made by Bama's athletic director Bill Battle. He decided to completely stop playing the song "Dixieland Delight" by Alabama which has been a tradition to play at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the home football stadium of the Crimson Tide. When I read what has happened, I was at first shocked then mad about it, like any Tide fan would be. It's been a tradition to play that song for many years on every home game. I don't believe a tradition should be changed just like that. Especially if it's really popular among the fans. Sure, the fans add their own lyrics to the song at the games that trash talk the other college teams but that's a part of any sport. You are going to have those people that trash talk the opposing team. Also, if it's a popular tradition that's been going on for years, why change it now? I'm sure you've all heard the phrase "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well this tradition isn't broke at all. Every single Bama fan goes along with this tradition so it's obviously not broken. Therefore, It doesn't need to be changed, or in this case banned. I also see this decision as a start to ban other long time traditions that the Crimson Tide fans have but that's just speculating.
     
    So to make a long story short, I really don't agree that the song should be banned from the home games. I also don't believe that a long, popular tradition should be changed.
