I was listening to my local radio station that’s playing Christmas music this morning and when Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song” came on I found myself singing alternate lyrics that were MLP-themed. I went ahead and wrote it down when I got home tonight, here it is ^^

Marshmallows roasting on an open fire
Presents wrapped with pretty bows
Stories and songs, heard from a choir
About ancient tribes and windigos

Everypony knows, some pudding and mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Fillies and Colts, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Windy is on her way
She’s bringing snow to all this holiday
And every young foal is gonna spy
To see if Windy is up there in the sky

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To foals from 1 to 92
Although it’s been said, many times, many ways
Happy Hearthswarming, to you

I love this time of year x3

Great news, as of last night we’ve upgraded to unlimited cellular data and we’re considering adding cable tv and home internet, so I’ll finally be able to post stories on ar regular basis again.

Beginning on Monday Innr-Selvs will pick up where it left off, I will also try to get in a habit of drawing my characters again, I apologize to any fans of the story for putting it off for so long.

The plan as it is right now is to restore our home internet as soon as we move into our new house during the first part of 2019, parents finally broke down and got tired of paying overage fees for cell phone data. Once that happens I’ll post more frequently, but for now I’ll only be able to post stories whenever I have access to wifi and have my laptop on me.

Well the fall semester begins on Monday for me, hopefully in about 3 years I’ll have my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and I’ll be able to land a decent job and finally move out. I’m gonna look into finding other furries while I’m there, I should be able to reach out to people and spend time with them since I’ll be at the university all day on Mondays and Wednesdays. I hope I have a great time.

Also my 29th birthday on Tuesday, August 28th, in case anyone was wondering

I just want an idea of what everyone prefers: Marvel Comics or DC Comics. Me personally I’m a DC fan. I appreciate old school Marvel, to me it’s one big mess now though, that’s why I don’t follow it, however, I am trying to get caught up on the MCU so I can watch Infinity War (which should really be named Infinity Gauntlet, War is an entirely different story)

Speak freely, we’re all friends here, but no name-calling, heh ^^

Tomorrow August 28th I'll be another year older. We got a slight break in the weather today but it doesn't look like it will last, so keep us in your thoughts and prayers please

So my birthday is on August 28th, and I'm smack dab in the middle of Hurricane Harvey, which is expected to stick with us for a whole week, this is lame....I'll have to do something nice for myself when this mess is over and done with

My birthday is August 28th and aside from some comic books and graphic novels, I don't expect much this year, but I'll enjoy it anyway ^^ paying medical bills has made it hard to do anything nice for myself, but I hope that changes soon

I've decided to re-work the design for fidget to make him look more like a bobcat, then after that I plan to save up to buy a fursuit. So my question is, does anyone know of a person who crafts high-quality fursuits? I'm looking for something that looks excellent and will last me a long time. Please and thank you!

By the way, I'm not worried about cost, I can work something out with the maker I'm sure.

Kinda mentioning this late, maybe because I'm not too excited/too much going on in my personal life, but I'm turning 27 on August 28th.

Still don't know how to spend my birthday yet, heh ^^

Hoping to finish out my degree and save my money, because the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan sound awesome!!!

With an emphasis on technology, Japan has already given a glimpse of the Olympic Stadium that they're working on and robots will be a huge part of the ceremony and the festivities!

I'm hoping and praying that I can make my dream a reality, I was planning on going to Japan at some point in my life, but a chance to see the Olympic Games there won't come around again in my lifetime, please support me emotionally, I could use the determination and confidence boost

Downloaded it last night since I finally had free time to play around with it, and I'm hooked ^^

Got Pikachu as my starter, currently level 3, 2 pokéstops are right near my house, one of them is my old elementary school, lol

Don't catch and drive, and be mindful of your surroundings, we've all heard the news stories, other than that, have fun!!

I can't even begin to describe my outrage over the incident, those officers did not deserve to die. To the shooter, the only crime they committed was being born white, that disgusts me to the core. I hope they find everyone involved and bring them to justice swiftly, for everyone's sake.

Sorry for all the political journals as of late, but these events touched me deeply.

I'm sick and tired of seeing headlines and hearing comments from people around me about xenophobia and racism in the UK; I've got news for ya, it exists everywhere you go, not just in countries that are predominantly white!

No one ever says anything about reverse discrimination and that infuriates me, discrimination is discrimination, I don't care what color you are. Not to mention the Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the use of affirmative action in college admissions is constitutional, how so? Denying someone entry into the school of their choice because of their race is discrimination based on race, a violation of the Civil Rights Act.

I'll admit, whites screwed over minorities really bad in the past, but doing the same to whites won't right the wrongs, that's not justice, it's revenge, and it won't bring us closer together, it'll just divide us more, hatred breeds more hatred, the only way to level the playing field and give everyone an equal opportunity, is to give no one preferential treatment, everyone has a clean slate, no advantages over another group. That's my opinion, thank you.

Idk the full situation, I'll admit that Americans in General know little if anything of the situation, but I've heard bits and pieces of the reasons for the UK's decision: hostility towards immigration, resentment towards cosmopolitan elites, frustration at non elected officials telling ordinary people how to live their lives, and an ever-growing perception that the status quo favors layabouts over hard-working decent citizens.

I'll respect their decision, and I'm not gonna say if I agree with their arguments or not, because I don't want to start a war.

Comment below.

I should note that I wrote this assuming the readers know about the respective characters, and this is an alternate universe by the way, any questions or comments, post them below ^^ I may type this all up and submit it as a story later.

Captain's Log Stardate number 406.7:
Our destination is a small planetoid just a short distance from planet Ponyville, beyond which lies the largely unexplored mass known as Outer Equestria. My orders are to examine Grand Port -- a station on the planetoid -- and determine exactly how or why the native ponies built it. Meanwhile I'm acquainting myself with my new command, this alicorn-class RPS Harmonium. I'm still in awe of it's massive size and complexity, as for my crew, we are short in several key positions, most notably a first officer. But I've been informed that a capable young dragon by the name of Spike will be waiting to join us at our destination.

Twilight Sparkle entered the bridge of the RPS Harmonium via a turbo-lift, she wore a red and black long-sleeved shirt with an image of Pegasus wings and a unicorn horn pinned to the front left of the shirt, she also had 4 gold circles pinned to the right side of her collar, signifying her Captain status. She walked up behind Maude Pie who was sitting at a control panel on the right side of the bridge. Maude was wearing a gold and black shirt similar to Twilight's, with the same image pinned to her shirt just like all the Space Herd officers; her rank was 2 gold circles and one black circle, a Lt. Commander.

"Space Herd's orders are difficult, don't ya think Maude?" asked Twilight. "How so? We just need to solve the mystery of Grand Port" replied Maude using her usual monotone voice and expressionless face. ".....yeah, simple as that" said Twilight sarcastically, she then took a seat behind Maude. "Grand Port, it sounds divine, I do hope it's as fashionable as it sounds" said Rarity, who was seated in a chair next to Twilight. Rarity wore a custom-designed dressy uniform with 3 gold circles for her rank, a Commander.

"You can hardly call it simple Maude when Space Herd expects us to negotiate an agreement for them to use Grand Port as a base while at the same time snoop around and determine how or why the ponies there built it in the first place" Twilight stated. "Sorry, what do you mean snoop?" Maude inquired, the other ponies looked at her funny as she said this. "Maude, you have a college education, how could you not know what snoop means?" Twilight asked. "I went to college to study rocks, all my courses were about rocks" Maude answered. "Oh, well it means to spy or sneak" Twilight said. ".....you should've just said that" Maude said.

Then suddenly, Rarity's horn started flashing, part of some special sensory training she'd received from Space Herd. "Twilight, I'm sensing....a powerful entity" Rarity said. Then a red light began flashing on and off in the bridge as an alarm blared, they were now on Red Alert. "Somethin' weird is on this scanner" said Trouble Shoes, he wore a red and black shirt with 2 gold circles, a Lieutenant, he was seated at a control panel next to Maude. On the large viewing screen at the front of the bridge, they could see what triggered the alarm, a forcefield had appeared a distance from the Harmonium. "It registers as solid Captain, like rocks" said Maude, maintaining her monotone voice. "Or a very powerful spell, but if we collide with either one we could..." Rarity started to say. "Ugh, I can't think with all this noise, shut off the alarm, go to yellow alert!" shouted Twilight in frustration. Trouble Shoes switched off the alarm and set the ship to yellow alert. The Harmonium continued to drift towards the forcefield. Shining Armor was at a computer behind Twilight and Rarity, standing next to Rainbow Dash, he inputed a command into the computer. "Shields and deflectors up Twily" he said. Shining Armor wore a red and black shirt with one gold circle and one black circle, a Junior grade Lieutenant, Rainbow Dash wore a gold and black shirt and had a Lieutenant rank. "Reverse power, full stop" ordered Twilight. "Controls set to full stop" Trouble Shoes replied as he inputed the command on his control panel. The Harmonium then came to a gradual halt, not far from the forcefield. "Now reading full stop Twilight" said Trouble Shoes.

Then came a flash of light from behind Twilight, near Rainbow Dash and Shining Armor, all the ponies turned around and faced the source of the light, even getting up from their seats. The light came from a mysterious creature, who was wearing an outfit like a certain famous captain, he was also eating a bowl of cereal associated with said captain. "I am here to inform you that you ponies have penetrated Equestria far too much already, you are ordered to return to planet Ponyville at once" he said to them. "That's quite an order" said Twilight, "identify yourself." "I am a Draconeqis, one of many such creatures, but you may call me Discord, Lord of Chaos" he said as he moved about the bridge. The door to the Turbo-lift opened, Derpy and Dr. Whooves were standing on it wearing similar uniforms to the others, Discord put up a forcefield to the turbo-lift and the door then closed. The ponies on the bridge stared at the intruder, taking notice of his display of power.

Discord then walked over to Twilight, eating the cereal as he did so. "I have presented myself to you ponies as a fellow Captain, so that you may better understand me" he said as he continued eating; his eyes then met with the gaze of the ponies. "Oh where are my manners, I shouldn't bring treats unless I have enough for everypony" he said jokingly. He then snapped his fingers and a bowl of the same cereal appeared in front of each of the ponies, they all looked at it confused, Shining Armor knocked his bowl to the floor and gave Discord a disgruntled look. "Now I'll say it again, return to Ponyville at once" said Discord, getting right up in Twilight's face. Trouble Shoes tried to stop him from doing anything to Twilight, but being his usual clumsy self, he tripped and fell towards Discord, Discord heard this and separated his body into segments to avoid being hit. Trouble Shoes landed in Twilight's chair, which proceeded to spin around, he was then flung back at Discord at a high rate of speed; with a snap of his fingers, Discord then froze Trouble Shoes in ice, the unlucky stallion landed on the floor.

Twilight lowered herself and examined Trouble Shoes. "Maude, call the medics!" she ordered, Maude inputed a message to the sick bay on her control panel. Rarity had gotten up to take a closer look as well. "He's frozen" she stated in shock. Twilight faced Discord, "that was unnecessary, that stallion would not have harmed you....intentionally" she said hesitating on the last part, there had been a few instances where Trouble Shoes' unluckiness had caused accidents. "Knowing ponies as I so do Captain, should I put myself in harm's way?" Discord said. "Now go back, or you will never be heard from again" he said more firmly this time. All the ponies looked at Discord with concerned expressions, Twilight unsure of what to do next.

Well I didn't get to see the season 6 premiere of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic today because I had to work, but I'm not so sad about it anymore

Because the ponies were at my job today ^^ i must've seen at least a dozen MLP things at the store today waiting to be priced, mostly plush toys, including a talking Pinkie Pie plush that I hope they can find the books to, because I just might buy it no matter how many explanations I'd have to give out XD

Guess I didn't really miss out after all huh? ^^

I recently found someone that makes decent mlp clay figurines, so I wanna have a chess set made like the pokemon one I had made, but I'm having trouble picking some characters for the pieces, here's what I have so far:

Shining Armor/Cadance and King Sombra/queen chrysalis --- King and Queen

Applejack/Pinkie Pie --- rooks

Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy and Discord/Tirek --- knights

Twilight Sparkle/Rarity and Nightmare Moon/Starlight Glimmer --- bishops

Castle guards/Changlings ---- pawns

As you can see, I need two villains for rooks, and if anyone would suggest any changes I'll listen to those as well, please help me and thank you in advance

I was out shopping today and noticed this probably 15 or 16 inch tall baby Sylvester plushie that I just had to have, and the cashier who rings it up smiles at what I brought up there, and after I pay she says "have fun with your baby Sylvester" and she and I both laugh at her comment ^^

She has no idea XD

In case y'all have forgotten, which I wouldn't blame ya if you did, it's been a long time since I wrote anything, I have the following writing projects in production or development:

Innr-Selvs --- my main project, featuring a cast of babyfur characters

My Little Youth Sprite --- an Innr-Selvs/MLP crossover that I've been meaning to return to, this one is shown exclusively in my journals

Fur Trek --- a Star Trek look-alike centered on the first Astrofleet crew composed entirely of diaperfur officers, headed by Captain Fidget of the UFS Endeavour

Pony Trek: Encounter at Grand Port --- currently in development, this will be an MLP version of the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, known as "Encounter at Far Point", the dialogue will not be word for word, as I want the ponies to remain in their original character. I'm writing this because I happen to like the Star Trek villain known as Q, whom the entire characteristics of Discord is based off of. I may write more episode parodies depending on how well it's received.

I will resume writing within the next few days ^^

When I think back on 2015, I'm saddened and happy, a lot happened this year, and 2016 looks to be very promising.

On Father's Day of this year, my grandfather passed away, the person who believed in me most of all, I regret not getting my degree before he had a chance to see it.

My mother was a victim of identity fraud, and thousands of dollars were stolen from her account, fortunately we're doing fine and the money will be returned to her.

My father got to go hunting a few times this year, didn't shoot anything, but the point is he had fun.

I fell in love, and I'm still in love. My darling baby colt and loving stallion  zalakir makes everyday a good one, whatever might come my way ^^

My best friend and ex-mate  taku_the_deer got to be with his mother and father again, and things are moving in a positive direction for him, I'm so happy for him and proud of him ^^

I know what I want to do with my life once I get my career going: spend time with the friends I've made and move in with my mate. Also reconnect with my twin brother, whom I've had limited contact with since he moved away 5 years ago.

Last but not least, aside from my PS4, I got the greatest Christmas present I've ever received, my Associate of Science in Mathematics degree ^^

2016 should be an awesome year, Bear in Underwear is scheduled for the 2016-2017 season on Amazon, I'll be able to get a better job with my company because of the degree, and I'll hopefully be working on a Bachelor's degree, Happy New Year everyone!!!

....they follow me to work!

3 days ago I found a Fluttershy and a Pinkie Pie figurine in one of the totes plus a Build a Bear Rainbow Dash which one of my co-workers pointed out to me.

And today another co-worker went through the stuff that was gonna be salvaged and handed me an even bigger Pinkie Pie figure and a Princess Cadance figure.

I swear, they will NOT leave me alone! Lol XD

Watching Home Alone and preparing my favorite Christmas Day treat, it feels like Christmas to me ^^

Merry Christmas to you, and a Happy New Year! ^^

Just thought I'd do a Christmas themed something rather, so I thought I'd ask a question: what's your favorite Christmas song(s)?

Mine is "Please Come Home for Christmas", the Eagles version being the best version IMO

I passed!!!!!! Once the holiday mini session begins, I'll go find out what I need to do to get my degree sent to me. I'm so happy!!! X3 thanks to everyone who supported me during all of this, you're the best!!
