MLPFIM: I can't believe it
3 min read
I've been meaning to write this for awhile now.
As a lot of you might have seen/heard/been aware of, there is this new show based on an old 70's cartoon. Its called My little ponies: Friendship is magic. Now like a lot of 20 somethings going on 30 somethings I do remember the old cartoon. Very girly, very pink, very beat you over the head with rainbows and cuteness. Even as a little girl, not really interested but enjoyed.
So I see on Dev here TONS of these "new" pony pictures and it takes me back. On a whim I saw it was on the Hub and said "Hey for shits and giggles, lets watch this!". Purely for nostalgia. Going in I had all the preconceived notions of I'm not gonna like this/its gonna ruin another childhood memory like SOOOOO many other remake *cough*TMNT*cough*{fyi: THEY AREN'T FROM SPACE MORONS!!}
Then I watched it with my husband and my less then a year old son.
Oh my god...It was really good!
I mean seriously good!
Does it still push the whole lets-be-friends-get-along-love-everyone-sugar-rainbow cuteness? Yes I wont lie.All the episodes end with a cute little life lesson or morale. BUT its also is insanely funny with some pretty , i wouldn't say adult but teenage, humor in it. Even going so far as to reference adult movies { not adult as in X-rated adult as in say Lethal Weapon or Boondocks Saints lol}. Each of the characters are very thought out and relateable making for characters you can adore! Each story , while simple as it IS designed for a younger audience, is still enjoyable for the parents who are watching with their children. And the songs...OH DEAR GAWD. They are very addictive! The day I heard the "Smile" song from Pinky Pie, I found it on you tube and memorized it. Now its my son's favorite song. Even my husband who is pretty much rough and tumble Seabee watches it and likes it! {hes a Rainbow dash fan ^^}
What I find most amazing though its my 11 month old, will from wherever he is coming to the tv and dance when the song comes on. Then sit and hold his attention and WATCH it. This is a baby, they don't have an attention span of more then 3 mins, but he will watch this show every Saturday before his nap. For an hour {its two episodes} my son, my husband, and I all sit on the couch and spend some nice family time with little to no fuss. How great is that?
So for anyone who hasn't seen it but was holding back, GO! It really is a good show. And for anyone who doesn't believe anything Ive said go watch it too. I was the same way still I actually saw it. Now I'm seriously hooked and still can't believe a kids show is something i really look forward to every Saturday morning. If nothing else, its shown me to always give something a chance. You never know how something really is unless you go for it.
Later Peeps~

First and formost im married now ^^. Me and
arenow husband and wife! Second a few weeks after my wedding I found out I was pregnant! Oh my, and on Feb 6th 2012 my son was born! Kenneth Quincey Goodson III, and ive been told hes the cutest lil baby ^^
Almost 2 months old now and it means I dont have a lot of free time u.u meaning no art. Before I had some prepregnacy complications with my joints that made it impossible to do any art but now I just dont have time. Don't expect many updates for awhile till my little boy gets more stable
Not closing this down just taking a break. Have been fooling around with my bamboo so hopefully my next updates will be with my attempts at digital art! Also will be posting snipits of my book for feedback. I would greatly appriacte any critques or even a beta reader!
Anyway...baby is napping so should I.
Lots of love to everyone!
Peace

Its almost time
The problem with time is looking back on it. Look forward you can see all the possibilities ahead and its still there. Looking back, you can only see what has been and theres no way to change it.
I wish I had more time. Everyone does at some point. I wish I had done more with my family. I wish I had seen and experienced more. There are things i wish i didn't do or see too.
Time is too easily wasted. I feel like Ive wasted a lot of it. Chances and opportunities missed. Problem is if I had taken them would I regret the other choices? Like I said, always a problem when looking back.
I wonder if the people in my thoughts and memories look back on the good times as fondly as i do. If the cherish them like me. If they mean anything at all. Or have they forgotten them in place of new ones? I am so easily forgotten too?
Should I really embrace the past so much? Or by doing so am I not finding joy in the future? I don't know.
All I know is looking round me as happy as I know I will be, I'm still sad. I wish I knew for certain i was going to be missed. But I'm not sure I left enough of a print that it wont be washed away by...time.
Time moves ever forward.
I wish time would freeze for just...a lil longer. It won't but I want it to.
I know tomorrow I'll be excited. I know tomorrow I'll be happy. I know in the near future I'll be ecstatic. But right now, right now in time, I'm feeling down and lonely.
But ..In time it will pass too.

Wow so much has/is happening
March 3rd I'm leaving New Jersey for Cali for a month till the apartment is ready in Gulf Port. ^^ I'm finally moving YAY!.
Over the past few months been packing all my stuff, my room is so barren it makes me sad u.u. But soon Ill be with my fiancee. My puppy's coming back home from the desert {Afghanistan my seabee} and I'll be there to greet him 
.
Been planning the wedding too which has been SO FUN *insert sarcasm*. Work of advice for those who are planning to get married in the future, do it when you have no intentions of moving for awhile >.< Trying to do both is very taxing.
My lil sis
and 
are moving too, not far but they be stressing too.
So for a month I'll be in Cali. I don't know about internet access at the moment so it could be awhile for me to post. Ill still be drawing since it helps me take a break from all the things i still need to do. So I might be doing a massive posting come April again.
In May going be seeing Katie and Angie again WOOOOOOOT. Katie is graduating college! I miss her and my sis a lot, plus she'll be getting to see my future hubby for the first time. Cant wait!
June is our wedding, then in July Jenny gets married {his sister}, followed by AWA at the end of September...
2011 is full of events! 0.0
Got a feeling this year is gonna roll by quickly.
I love you all my peeps! See ya on the flipside~
