Courageous Thunder Dash

I'm a 27 year-old brony who loves mlp, music, games and science.

How did I come to like mlp? Well, in a rather odd fashion. You see, I've come to like when things are destroyed or when ponies fall and fail. So I was on my usual search for destruction when the familiar "piano drop" comes into my mind. I look it up. As I was searching, I see a picture of Twilight Sparkle and the title: "Derpy Hooves: (drops stuff), by kyrospawn. I'm like "Huh? What's that doing here?". I then proceed to watch it. I laughed. Little did I know that this was My Little Pony. When I read the description, I was shocked. "No way!" I was like. I then explored more of those short clips on kyrospawn's channel. However, I still was not immune to the song, since I was still stuck in the stereotype. I wasn't a hater necessarily, I just said that MLP was for fillies. Anyway, as the days passed, I continued to watch the small clips, until the day came, when I attempted to watch an episode. I kinda scattered around a bit. I kept avoiding the theme, for that opening signature, would make me cower. Soon, a day came when I manned up and went through the theme. The episode was "Sonic Rainboom". I couldn't believe that I actually liked it and on that day, I became a Brony.

What pony am I like?

Well, that's a hard question, but according to the pony personality test, this is how it turned out:

As you can see. I came out as solid Rainbow Dash. But, I also have Applejack and Pinkie Pie in me. Obviously, I've got no trace of Fluttershy in me. Yet I've got Twilight Sparkle and Rarity in me as well (That's because I love science and always want to know more about certain things.)

Top 3 Persoanlities

Rainbow Dash: I'm very loyal to my word and always there to help. Whenever I hear somepony in need of help, I run to them and ask what's wrong. Occasionally there's the false alarm . I can be a bit arrogent at times, but I try to keep that in check.

Applejack: I'm also very honest and hard-working. On some weekends, I don't even get out the house to do something. I'm trying to get all of my college work done.

Pinkie Pie: I LOVE to laugh. I tell jokes and I can be very silly. Sometimes, when I think about something, it makes me laugh. I also love to party and dance.

What is my Element of Harmony: Kindness

Who would be my best mare?

Favorite pony:

The one and only: How many OCs do I have and which one is my fave?

Well, I've got over 10 differet OCs and my favorite one to use would be...my primary OC Thunder Dash!

Recently, I created a new griffon OC named Thundy. Here's what he looks like:

My Music Life:

I started indulging in music at the age of 5. Before that, I was already able to name a musical instrument just by hearing the sound of it. However, it was rather slow. It wasn't until my 4th piano teacher that things started kicking into gear. When I started with my 4th piano teacher, I discovered I could learn music just by hearing it. I have been doing piano for the past 19 years and am classically trained. I have taught myself to how to play in other genres. Recently, I taught myself how to play in the African and Jamaican styles. In the year 2010, I got my first composition software for Christmas. I started by simply arranging my favorite music pieces. The year 2012, was a big year in my composition journey, as it was the year that I not only became a brony, but also the year I became a brony musician. Since then, I have been happily composing music. In 2016 I got my Korg Kronos workstation, which is something I've always wanted. 2016 was a big year in my music production life because I started recording and producing live tracks. In 2017, I started my journey to become a Music Therapist at Queens University and now, I am continuing the path to become a Music Therapist in the year 2021 as I'm now looking for an internship. 

Here's what my setup looks like:

As you can see, not only do I play piano, but I play saxophone, guitar and bass as well. I am mostly self-taught when it comes to guitar. (My saxophone is put away in this updated pic of my setup). I have a microphone now, so that means I will be doing some singing. I also now have a bass, so now I'm literally a one-man-band!

I like all genres of music. I am selective when it comes to hip-hop/rap however, as the majority of it is explicit and I strongly dislike explicit music.

My mane other interest is cars. Currently, I drive a 2007 Saturn Ion with a DOHC 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive. I would like my next car to be a Subaru WRX STi, in which I may tune a little by adding a cold air intake, flowmasters exhaust and modified body kit. Alternatively, I'd get a Chevy SS that comes with a 5.7 liter V8.

I also like sports, a lot of them, too many to put down

I'm also an avid gamer.

I've been playing Super Smash Bros a lot lately, and hope to enter a tournament someday. My mane characters are Pikachu, Marth, Little Mac and Palutena. This applies to previous versions of Smash. I'm currently learning to mane Jigglypuff. In addition, I love racing games and recently have been playing Fast and Furious on the PS2.

In addition, with the addition of the PS4 to my gaming set, I now play

1. Ratchet and Clank 2016
2. Planet Coaster
3. The Crew 2
4. Need For Speed Heat
5. Madden 21 
6. Gran Turismo Sport
7. Jump Force
8. Dragonball Xenoverse 2

I am also an avid movie goer. I love action movies. My top 3 favorite movies are

1. Avengers End Game

2. Fate of The Furious

3. The Meg

I am also quite the theme park/roller coaster enthusiast to the point that I know the history of the roller coaster. My Top 5 roller coasters are

1. Fury 325 - Carowinds

2. Twisted Colossus - Six Flags Magic Mountain 

3. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa

4. Intimidator - Carowinds

5. Volcano: The Blast Coaster - Formerly at Kings Dominion

Well, that's just the gist about me. Feel me to hit me up anytime you want to chat!
