    The BronyDoc...

    By Brook,

    It was amazing.
     
    Recently I've started to lose faith in the fandom, I felt as if it was becoming more and more inhabited with stupid people, people that haven't the slightest on how to act, especially online. I was seeing these dumb comments on youtube that were saying "Bronies will take over and you will become one" or "Embrace Bronies because we will rule the internet eventually", stuff like that, word for word, just makes me feel bad about our fandom, and yesterday one of my best friends told me that he was seeing a lot of dumb Bronies on TF2 himself. Now he doesn't have anything agianst Bronies personally but just agianst stupid people, like me, and he knows I'm a Brony and he's cool with it, but even he could tell Bronies are not what they used to be, they aren't as amazing as they used to be. I felt like there were only saints that weren't subject to stupidity in our fandom.
     
    But that all changed a few minutes ago.
     
    I watched the documentary, and it made me remember this last summer, it made me remember what our fandom is all about, it made me remember why I even became a brony in the first place, not because of the show, but because of the people.
     
    The amazing people that make up our fandom, the creative Bronies, the kind Bronies, the fun-loving Bronies, the good and wonderful people that are, Bronies.
     
    Thanks to all the people that made BronyDoc, my faith in the fandom has been restored :')

    Now that everyone isn't drooling on the floor squirming from the official alicorn Twilight affair, it's time for me to state my opinion on the matter. I'm not going to say what I think of the incident, there's plenty of videos and posts about that already, I am instead going to tell you all what went through my mind while all of this was going down, and I will tell how to NOT act for future reference.
     
    So, when I first saw the fake news from that so called "Hasbro employee", I was kind-of shocked, and it bothered me a little bit to think about Twilight as an alicorn, but it faded away as time went on. When I saw it was official, to be honest it didn't really bother me, the only thing I had any emotions towards this with is my theory on alicorn powers in general, which is that being an alicorn is a magical power and not a race, that is passed on to royalty and rulers of Equestria. Hearing Twilight will become an alicorn gave a strong support to my theory, but other than that, and the fact that Twilight looks amazing as an alicorn from the pictures Hasbro gave out , I didn't really care too much, I know it's just going to be another plot device, not really anything more, so why bother troubling myself with it?
     
    That brings me to the next bit, the reaction. From what I've gathered, the fandom was about a 20/20/60% split, 20% hating the idea and in hyper-ventilation, 20% fully supporting the idea, and 60% that |don't really care/are nothing more than okay with/are waiting to see how it gets implemented and then decide their state on| the idea. So it was nothing too major, but really it should not have gotten the backlash it got, even if it's not that much, it did not deserve it.
     
    So dear fandom, I here by decree that you have done okay, nothing more than that, and in the future, don't be so dramatic, it's just a silly show for little kids about talking ponies after all

    I've been listening to some good ol' Tombstone when it hit me, I am effected by the music I listen to more than anything else. I was feeling kind of down these last few days, and then BAM just like that GREAT mood and feeling fine YEAH BABY!
     
    Which just proves how much I love Tombstone ^-^ and music in general and it really has a huge effect on me all the time ah mah gahd Good Girl is so good.

    Teenage wut :|

    By Brook,

    Why do people say teenage years are the best years? Being a teenager isn't that great you know, I would much prefer to be a young adult, or just 23~32, THOSE are the real good years.
     
    Just because something doesn't last forever doesn't mean it should be cherished, and it also doesn't mean it's something good. I'm not trying to sound like a bitch here, but seriously people, there's nothing great about being a teenager that older people can't experience, examples:
    First love? pfft, biggest head ache I ever got.
    Puberty? nothing special there, it's just biology to me.
    Having no worries? no, teenagers have worries, most of them aren't as big as adult worries, but don't think that because it's not as big it's a breeze, it's not.
     
    Stuff like that people seem to not realize, once again, I don't want to be a bitch, but saying teenagers have the best time in the world is just an out-right lie. Young adults and 23~32 year-olds is where it's at man, THOSE guys truly get to have fun.

    I love that song.
     
    On an unrelated note, I love my country. I'm gonna sound really bias here, but in all honesty, I don't think any other country (aside from Canada and maybe Australia) is awesome as mine.
    Seriously, my country treats it's citizens as it truly should, it functions amazingly under stress, it has what is considered one of the best armies in the world, and there hasn't been one government that I oppose to yet.

    Wonderful Women

    By Brook,

    Can we just take a moment, to appreciate all the great women out there that DON'T act or dress up like sluts? The women than every man needs and without would be kind of lonely? I just want to say thanks to those ladies.
    I'm not sure where this whole "if I act like a whore people will like me" thing came from, but it's stupid, I'm not attracted to that, and I'm freaking 14, like, THE AGE of lust, and it's not a good thing, I prefer girls who are my friends before they are my girlfriends? I guess, 'cause I never actually had a girlfriend, but I think people are slightly forgetting that "girl-friend", means "friend" first, the fact that it's a girl is only second
    I want to say thanks to all of the girls who don't act like that, so thank you for being good people girls.
     
    Also, if you're a girl reading this, first off, hi, second, you're probably awesome

    Srslyguise

    By Brook,

    I had a talk with the principal of my school today, he told me that I really need to take my shit seriously, because he knows I can do better than what I am now.
     
    To clarify, my grades, aside from math, are average, I've had almost all 80%~90% in all my tests except math like I said, and even though that's enough to get into the high-school I want to get into, apparently that's not enough for my principal, he thinks I can do better if I just take stuff more seriously, and I believe him, but there's still an issue, I don't trust myself to do that
     
    Anyone that knows me would tell you that I have a lot of skills in terms of out-right learning, which is true, I always pay attention is class and I always understand everything said in class, but it's not enough (it's never enough <_< ). My principal made it clear that everything I did was enough to make me breeze through elementary school and 7th grade, but not 9th grade, what I need, is organization, focus, and practice-a LOT of practice. But the problem is, I've never been someone that does stuff for school other than pay attention in class and for the most part do homework (not that much actually), so now I have a big gap in my education, and I seriously need to get my shit together if I want to make it in high-school, which once again, this is not a problem of a student with issues in understanding, this is an adult's problem .
     
    Fortunately, I've started to work on things more seriously these past few days, I've been studying hard for a math test (which I've NEVER done before, at least not alone, and not at this rate), and I've been doing my homework which is luckily easy for me , but still, I just hope I do good on my report card :\

    Funny Bunny My Honey

    By Brook,

    You know what I want? I want a girlfriend. No, I want more than that, I want someone that I can have romantic moments with, I want someone that I can say "I love you" to and isn't my family, I want someone to cherish, I want someone to treat like a goddess, I want... I don't know what I want anymore.
     
    Lately I've been having SO much thoughts about love, SO much things that occupy my mind, SO much that I feel like I'm losing my sanity. I hope this is typical for 14 year old boys, because I dunno, I don't feel like it is, I feel like I'm going insane over nothing that will even matter, and to be honest it probably won't, but I can't get it off my mind, I can't get... her, off my mind. GAHH I'm losing it! I even had a perfect plan on what to do yesterday and I didn't do it, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY.
     
    My FUCKING god this is not healthy for me. There's a saying that goes "If you love someone, let them go", so why won't my brain let me forget about all of this? I have more important things to do goddammit!
     
    Buck like funnies. or vise-versa. That's how I feel my mind is right now. Chaos all over and no one ever seems to take out the trash.

    A French Girlfriend

    By Brook,

    I just had an amazing dream.
     
    Act 1
    It started out as some sort of packing competition I think? I can't really remember the start but anyway it got me into a situation where I was in an INDOOR pool party with characters from the game League of Legends, and everybody was in the pool aside from one girl, her name was Fiora (from the game), but she looked like a combination between these three:
    Vi
    Zyra
    and Fiora herself, only she was a teenager, my age basically.
    And in my dream she was sitting at the side of the pool with a Frisbee in her hands. And I saw she was looking down on the ground, so I came out of the pool and went over to her. I sat next to her and said:
    "Hey" and she didn't respond. Then I said:
    "Can I play with you with that Frisbee?" and she nodded, so I stood up and walked a few meters away from her and she threw me the Frisbee, I caught it and I noticed she had a really good throw, so I complimented her on it and she smiled. Then some other people wanted to join, so people started coming over until everyone was out of the pool and playing with the Frisbee, everyone but me and her. Somehow she got over to the other side of the pool and to a bench that was there. So I went over and sat near here once again. This time I said:
    "I knew that would happen, I knew everybody was going to play with the Frisbee but us, I just wanted to be alone with you so that's why I did it". She smiled. I tried to lean my head on her shoulder but she moved slightly away from me. Then I saw she had another Frisbee next to her, so I got up and told her to throw it to me. She smiled once again and got up, she threw it to me. We tossed it between us some more and then the she threw it accidentally out the window to my right. I looked out of the large window to see it flew to the road next to some construction workers and some other Frisbees. I shouted to them:
    "Hey guys! Can you throw that yellow Frisbee back to us!" and they asked:
    "Which one!" and then they started to pick up all of the Frisbees but ours, so me and her went out to the road to get it ourselves. When we walked through the road and got to our Frisbee, we suddenly noticed the posters that were all around us, the place was under construction for comic-con 2013, which was going to happen that same day, so naturally I asked:
    "Do you want to go together today to the event?" and she said yes.
     
    Act 2
    Afterwards we were back inside the pool area, and I think we sat on a bench and talked about some things, but I can't remember
    But then she noticed Loki (from The Avengers) passing by, now, personally I've never seen the movie itself, so what happened next is probably weirder than it sounds, but it was for some reason the way my brain thought about how to defeat Loki.
    She said to me:
    "Oh my god, that's Loki" and then she pulled three differently colored top hats from her pocket and I asked:
    "What's that for?", she then asked:
    "Haven't you seen The Avengers?", I replied no, and then she asked:
    "And have you seen The War of The Worlds?" and I said:
    "I've read the book", then she got up and went behind Loki, through the big crowd that was outside. I followed her by her hand, in one hand she held my hand and in the other the three neatly stacked top hats. I enjoyed every moment that I felt her hand in mine
    Then she suddenly jumped on Loki and took off his hat, then she put one of the top hats on his head and got off of him.
    I don't really remember what happened next but I know that me and her spent some more time together, enough time to declare that she was my girlfriend, and me being her boyfriend.
     
    Act 3
    Somehow, after it was becoming obvious that me and her are publicly boyfriend and girlfriend, we found ourselves sitting at some sort of outdoor theater, with stone steps as seats and a stone stage. Other people were around us, people our age, (14-15), and she was leaning on my shoulder. She rose back up to look at me at eye level, and she kissed me. That's when I woke up.
     
    If I recall correctly, I haven't had any dreams that involve kissing until last night, and surely no dreams about imaginary French girlfriends, but I got a message out of that dream, a message that I really need to do something about my love life. When I woke up, it only then hit me I was dreaming, because everything felt so real and it was one of the best dreams I ever had. I really wish I had a girlfriend right now
    But on the up-side, that dream gave me guidance towards how to approach girls, so maybe I will have a girlfriend soon enough

    Antichamber

    By Brook,

    Gonna go ahead and say, best puzzler of 2013, no other game could ever imagine to beat it, perhaps aside from another Portal or another Q.U.B.E but both aren't going to happen, so yeah, putting that out there.
     
    Antichamber, is the biggest mindfuck of a game I ever played, but in a good way, it's not a WTF?!?! kind of game, it's a "holy shi..." kind of game. But there is one problem, the game is extremely good at the beginning it's really good close to the end, but everything in the middle kinda sucks. It's just puzzles really, the middle-section of this game isn't anything special to be honest. It's unique, don't get me wrong, these are puzzles not from anywhere else, but still, it has nothing more going for it. My point is, it's good for about 2 hours, then has 6 and a half hours of ordinary puzzle solving that doesn't really require what I had to learn earlier, and then another hour of awesomeness.
     
    Nevertheless, I totally think it's worth it's money, and it's definitely worth 1 playthrough start-to-finish, other than that, meh. It's just a puzzle game, like all puzzle games, it suffers from the fact that once you solve a puzzle, you won't have to think about solving it again, you'll just know what to do, and then it's not a puzzle it's just a task. Not even Portal could escape that.
     
    Once again, it really deserves a play, I'm just saying that it didn't feel special for the majority of the game, it did in about 1/3 of it, but the rest was just ordinary to me.

    Justice

    By Brook,

    Festival music
     


     
    "All we talk about is peace;
    No one talks about justice;
    Heaven for one, hell for another;
    How many fingers are on the trigger?"
     
    You know, this song has a really good point, everybody talks about how there should be peace and no wars, but there's something a lot more important than that, justice.
     
    He sings about people that live in their hopes and dreams, and people that live in their plots and schemes; People that live to question but never get answers, and people that are full of demands and commands.
     
    You know what? I'll let the song explain itself:
    "We're alone talking to a wall with no one to adress;
    If we all realize we're one, everything will come together;
    When your belongings burn, your soul will burn;
    If you don't hurry and save yourself;
    We've murdered people and we've murdered land;
    We're left with barely any air to breathe;
    The world is in a constant orbit;
    What goes around comes around;
    What goes up must come down"
     
    Basically, stop the bullshit, live together, make justice, not even peace, not wars, and just stop being idiots world.
     
    And the last line is:
    "There will never rise peace with no justice".
     
    Enjoy.

    Moving, so damn moving
     

     
     
    (Longer entry than usual, because this song is so damn moving)
     
    This song... this... this song is just unbelievable, first off, it's from the best Reggae band I've ever heard, HaTikva Shesh, second, it has a wonderful athenic beat, and thirdly, it has ther most inspiring lyrics I ever heard, I swear to god, there is no other song I heard with a better message.
     
    So, to cut the fangasming, it's appropriatly named "2602", as in the year 2602 in the future. The singer sings about his trip to 2602. In the first verse he talks about how everything is bad, the nuclear threat became a reallity, the sun is shining but it's closer than ever, every new toy on the market has a serious label on it, every antibiotic causes a new disease, everything healthy is poison; Basically, everything is shit.
     
    The chorus is very basically, "I woke up in 2602, I spent a day or two, I came back from 2602, these are my imperssions".
     
    The second verse talks about how good it is in 2602; The term "enemy" is gone, kids learn about peace, not war, there are parks where there used to be walls, the only religion is the human religion, both sides of the world speak the same lanuage, every honey moon is on the moon, mars sent a guest over; Looks pretty good.
     
    And then, in the third verse, it is said there is a future of hell, and a future of grace. Everything we do now has to be towards the good future, and we must remember every step of the way.
     
    "It is easy to look back and reveal a mistake;
    It is easy to look back but hard to change the past;
    Small steps today are steps of redemption;
    When we reach the bridge we'll cross it and emerge victorious!"
     
    This song touched me on every level, my explanation is surely not enough, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on this incredible song
    I love this song so much I might just blow up, oh you found my seceret text, welp, BANANAMUFFIN.
    Please, enjoy, and perheps take something in.

    Rock it Mr. A!

    By Brook,

    Rock
     


     
    God I love this song so much. It's from the Israeli age of rock, the 80's-90's, basically, there is this singer Danny Sanderson, and he pretty much single-handedly brought rock to Israel. My parents loved his band, and I love his band, no Israeli that respects himself could ever dislike his band
    Anyways, it's about this girl meeting an alien, he takes her on a trip on his spaceship. Pretty much it.
     
    Enjoy.

    Not much to say, I just love to dance to this. One thing to note, this song is from 1999, and it was made to bring back Disco to Israel, which I support :3
     
    Enjoy.
  21. Brook
    Oldies
     


     
    Ah, good ol' Israeli hits covers, gotta love 'em. The song is called "I only came by to observe", which is a Hebrew phrase for someone distant or alien. It talks about a man that has everything in life, and he's happy with his family; as imaginary, as it is revealed in the song, everything sang about comes to the chorus, which states:
     
    "No, the castle isn't there, don't look at her, she's gone;
    There's no point in running like that;
    The sky is gone;
    The lady is dead;
    there's no river without water;
    I only came by to observe"
     
    The lady, is the supposed man's wife, which was never really there. The castle is the castle in the sand he built as a child, which was supposedly where he met his lady.
     
    Enjoy.

    Kick back - Tikva Shesh

    By Brook,

    Relaxation song
     


     
    One of the best modern (last 5 years) raggae bands here.
     
    I like this song mostly because it's name stands for "If I ever meet god", and the lyrics are all questions for him. Every single word in that song I can agree with, and not to mention the beat is so good. It's not a religious song, in fact it's quite the oppisite, all of the questions asked as lyrics are the most reasonable, understandable, I-can-totally-see-where-that's-coming-from kind of questions, and that just blows my mind.
     
    Some of the questions include:
    "Is thunder your voice?"
    "Are we alone in the universe?"
    "Is heaven your property or not?"
    "Did you ever fear we will live here without you?"
    "Is there a point to prayar?"
    "Where do we come from? monkeys or the sky?"
     
    And as the singer says "Silly questions":
    "What did you do yesterday?"
    "Do you need to stay safe from the sun?"
    "Who do you go to at hard times?"
    and maybe the most motivating one:
    "Who is your god, god?"
     
    Enjoy.
