"Hey ROB, where the hell have you been?"

Well faithful watcher, I've been busy. Writing? Pfft, hell no. I've not done jack shit in like a year. I'm still amazed people are even watching me. Anyway, so in case you may think that I just don't write, or don't want to, that's not it at all actually. I'm actually writing still! Am I posting anything? No, 'cause 99% of it isn't really "post-worthy" at this time. Mostly it's all ideas, concepts, and horribly rough drafts. For quite some time, I've just been so tired after working at both my job, with my father, and going to school, I don't really do much other than play some video games on occasion with my friends.

I'm trying to get one of these fics post worthy. But well, only time will tell.

Now, to what this is actually about.

I'M GOING TO CMCon AT THE END OF MAY! In... Colombus, Ohio? I think so... anyway, yea I'm going. If you'd like to talk to me or say hello, keep an eye out for a big guy with a red/black pladd hat with two Macintosh pins on his hat. That's me.

Also I might attend Trotcon, still unsure yet.

Internet died like a half hour into the stream, so sorry 'bout that.

So, just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, fan art, and lightbulb pics you sent me! It means a lot to know that even though I'm a wash up people still care. As a reward, I'm hoping to get a little one shot I've worked on out and posted. I can't promise it will be all that great, but well it's been too long since I've done anything, and I really, really hate it. When life gets in the way though, what can you really do? I guess not much...

Also, this would have been out sooner, but with my birthday and St. Patty's day on a single weekend... well, lets just say, my room has a lot of empty Sunkist and Whiskey bottles...

Frustration.
Anger.
Despair.
Anguish.

All these emotions, and more, are what I am feeling right now. It all began several hours ago, when my last lightbulb burnt out. So, what does a sensible man do? Not what I do, anyway. I scrounged all my spare lamps, but alas, they too were bulbless! I was, officially, out of lightbulbs. So that meant then I had to do what any sensible man would, and that's go to the store and buy some lightbulbs.

Now, I'm not sure how you all are, but personally I'm not a huge fan of the florecent, swirly bulbs that are everywhere. They have their uses, yes, but for general use I like a normal incandescent light bulb. They come on instantly, they're just the right brightness, and better yet for outdoor use they actually make heat (great for when it's snowing and the wind is blowing, helps keep the snow from building on the bulb). BUT TO MY SURPRISE, WHEN I WENT DOWN THE LIGHTBULB AISLE IN THE HARDWARE STORE, THERE WERE NO INCANDESCENT BULBS TO BE SEEN. Only those... cursed, evil ones that aren't compatible with half of my lamp shades.

I was, and still am, furious! Apparently, our lovely government who just loves to mettle into things they just shouldn't, has decided that those bulbs should be banned.

I... wh... BUWHAAAAT???

No. Aw hell naw. So you're tell me, that now you're forcing me to have to buy a particular type of lightbulb, instead of letting me choose which one? No. Just, no. That's a crock of shit. I will not accept it. I DEMAND RETRIBUTION! I DEMAND JUSTICE. I DEMAND MY GOD DAMNED LIGHT BULBS! HOW DARE YOU CHOOSE FOR ME WHAT IS "RIGHT", OR "ECONOMIC". I don't give a flip! I want what WORKS! As I said before, yes those new ones do have uses. I like them for my shop lights, cause they don't get hot. Which is nice when you're under a car with one of those next to you, cause it won't burn you.

But that's it. I, personally, do not like how they light. It's similar to LED's for me, I don't like those either. LED's cast darker shadows on things, and make only what they are directly hitting visible.

So, now with all that said, looks like I'm going to be blowing what little money I have left on stocking up on incandescent lightbulbs. Next thing I know, the government's gonna tell me what cars I can and can't drive. I'd like to see them try... I'll drive my '86 Buick Riviera so far up their high strung asses they'll be wiping the tire marks off their tongues. Well, providing the noxious fumes and 12 mpg economy doesn't due them in.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, even if you were just lurkin' and enjoying the records.

Soooooo... it just recently got put out on the android market for smart phones. It's a lot of fun, actually. Though I gotta admit, I laughed way harder than I should have when I performed a sonic rainboom with Macintosh in that flying game. So yea, would you kindly add me to your gameloft friend list? Because to get more of those stupid hearts I gotta add people 'n such. Can you guess my name? If not... that's just sad.

That is, from deviant Art to Fimfiction.net for all of my fictions!

No offense to dA, but fimfiction's writing format is much easier to use and work with. I'll never fully abandon my roots here. I'll still use dA for my updates in journals, or when I'm streaming. I'll still also check on messages, comments, and the such.

[link] There is my fimficion account, so if you wish to continue following me for my stories (because what else do I do here?) then I highly recommend keeping better track there.

With this also being stated, I will be slowly moving "Divergent Days" to fimfic while I am doing some last minute edits and such, so I can continue it's story. For the five of you who read "Luna's Gift", a one off one shot I did a year ago, that too will be making it's move there, again after some revision and a possible continuation of the story since it was originally intended to be longer.

Welp, I think that's about it. Expect to see the next update to "The Replacements" sometime next week over on Fimfiction.net. Thank you all for reading my work, giving me kind words and some helpful writing tips along the way. Hope to see you on the flip side!

Also... party store was out of Sunkist, I'm drinking Crush. It's okay... *sniff*... but it's still not Sunkist.

Sorry it was a short one, but I got some things to do. Hopefully the next one goes longer. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. Toodles!

Hello all! First off, I'm back from Canterlot Gardens! Huzzah, it was a blast. Met a lot of awesome people, got drug into helping out at the registration desk for the first two days. All and all, it was great.

Now, onto some news!

My work load is about to go crazy busy, but I will continue to work as much as I can on "The Replacements". Chapter three is almost done. Also, due to some people speaking to me at CG about the topic, I also plan to pick "Divergent Days" back up from the grave and try to finish it, so huzzah it's not dead!

Thanks to all who joined for the fun! Hope to see ya'll next time!

Pretty much all Americans should know what those two numbers represent. The tragic loss of lives, loved ones, a world symbol, trust between people and countries. The increased security, the awareness and fright it had struck in all of us. Be sure not to forget the people lost. Some of those brave souls even did what was not asked of them, and saved countless other lives by forcing the terrorists to crash into a field, instead of another building.

Be sure to give them a moment of silence, and a prayer for the families. It is the least we can do for them.

As of two days ago, a very good friend of mine by the alias of Gearbox was in a severe car accident. I don't know much of the details, but he went under some brain surgery and has not woken up yet to my knowlege. He happens to also be the person who started up and is running the My Little Dashie Visual Novel that many of you know of, and have played the demo.

I'm not a religious man... but I do believe in God. So please, give him your prayers that he will recover.

BUT SOMEONE ELSE IS! A good friend of mine, his wife is streaming art. I don't have the link to her actual art blog, but here is her stream. [link] it is like one am for me, so she'll be streaming for a while. If it's offline, then save it and check later or somethin'. She's a very nice lady, and very interesting to listen to while she does her art. So check her out! and do me a favor and ask what her tumblr is so we can all watch it.

It's a newer podcast to the lineup of the many podcasts, so join us as we talk about... whatever it is we talk about! Probably some stuff about me, some stuff about other things... hopefully. Welp I guess we'll just have to see then, won't we? it starts at 10 PM eastern, so chop chop!

[link]

EDIT! Stream is over, thank you to all that showed up and hung around! Hopefully I'll have my few remaining technical difficulties solved before the next one! Toodles!

Okay, gonna try to stream starting somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30 pm eastern today. I'll probably be stopping no earlier than nine unless something comes up, but I'm gonna be writing, so I'll hopefully be streaming later yet.

As usual, I'll be listening to dem moldie oldies and working on fics, plus some other random thingies. Who knows.

Trolololol~
Here da real link. Enjoy!

Sorry about that. I guess I'm STILL having technical difficulties. Plus, the storm that was suppose to be past us has decided to grow in size, and slow down. So we're getting hammered. My internet is spotty, so I guess I'll shoot for a different time. Sorry about that folks.

Yeaaaaaaaaa... I'm expecting some rage with this. But please, hear me out.

When I had started this story, I was fresh into the MLP fandom. I was new to understanding the characters, my own writing ability, etc. This was for me to practice with, to try some things out. The best way is with an OC of course, but now that I've been writing a lot more (though most of it you've all not seen, yet) I'm finding that this story, with all honesty, was not going in a direction I felt would be right.

At this point, I am forcing myself to write this story. To continue it. I've tried so many things to re-motivate myself into continuing it. But everything is failing me. I've been so hung up on this story, that it's destroying my productivity with the other fics I'm trying to do behind the scenes. I don't feel that it would be right, or fair to you all, to continue this fic under a totally different mind set of when I had started it. I'd rather work on something I know I am putting all my effort into, than something that I just don't care for anymore.

I understand some of you will be upset. Many of you were enjoying my story. And I appreciate everything you've all done. The comments, favorites, even some fan art had sprung up. All of which had driven me closer to keep going. But... it's just... not happening. I open the document, and I sit there. The ideas are all there for it. I know how I want to end it. I know how the following chapters are to be played out. But my will, my ambition to continue this story is just... not existent.

So again, I apologize for giving your hopes up for this story to continue. I plan to remove all the chapters that are up within the next few days. However, I am not destroying the story. I might one day return. Who knows. But for now, I have other stories that my mind has been set on completing for quite some time. Thank you to all who watch me and put up with my inability to be as productive as I wish I were, but this might be the first big step to getting me back and rolling again.

Welp, a short stream tonight. Thanks, we got through chapter 4. I guess we'll do this again Sunday night! I'll try to start it a tad sooner, maybe around 9 pm eastern time. Anyway, toodles!

Alright, just as I promised, I will be starting a stream at 11:00ish PM Eastern, so if you wish to join me, you have a few to get in. I will be reading Divergent Days, so that I can catch myself up on the story and continue it. I highly doubt I will be finishing it, but if I can at least get five chapters in, I'll be happy.

[link]

There's the link to my stream. I won't be very active in the chat once I start reading, but I will be taking frequent breaks after each chapter to get a drink. See ya'll there!

Alright, just a heads up, I'm trying to get caught up on some of your comments you've left me. Also, I HAVE been reading them, and I see that many of you are growing ever impatient for the continuation of Divergent Days, so... I have an idea.

Maybe more so a proposition for you guys. Since it's been so long since I've updated it, I sorta need to catch myself back up with my own story. Sad, I know. So, this is my idea. For the next several streams, instead of me listening to Dem Moldie Oldies and working on any other fics, I will be doing live readings of Divergent Days. I'll be making minor edits as I go, updating the chapters if need be, and hopefully, eventually, get to continuing where I left off.

However, because I need my full attention to this, I won't be as active in the stream chat. I'll be taking frequent breaks after each chapter, so to hydrate myself and we can chat, but then I'll be getting right back to it. So if you're interested, leave me a comment. The more I see, the more motivated I'll be to actually start as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't expect me to start until, Friday night maybe? I'm not sure, depends on my ever changing schedule.

So come on everyone, let's get this damn fic done! WHO'S WITH ME?

IT'S OVER, THANKS FOR JOINING ME!


Don't plan on me starting until around 9 pm eastern, cause I have a few more things to do. But yea, I'm gonna try to stream tonight. It's gonna be the usual stuff: Dem Moldie Oldies, and workin' on some fics. If you don't see the little red LIVE thing at the bottom of the stream video, that means I'm not live.

So yea, nothin' super amazing, but if you just want a place to listen to some amazing music, chillax and talk with some people, come join me!
