jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: trebles correct, and i understand compleatly, really i do. but i'm not asking you to play by ear, just listen to the pauses in the music.

I’m going to tell you right now exactly what’s going to happen.

I’m going to get the first measure down, then I’m going to get frustrated and quit.

I’ll still try when I get back, but that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

Anonymous asked: Wait... You think there might be a decent single in Ponyville? When would be the best time for me to laugh at you?

Now’s fine.

Also, I found your house, Black Strawberry. Didn’t realize how long a mile was! That’s the measurement some of Earth uses, right?

Which room is your room?

theblackstrawberry asked: tell me when your about to press the button, because I have to press a button within 5 seconds on my side.

Oh… That’s what I was doing out…

Hold on…

Still looking for the mailbox.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: hold on 2nd f and last e on part one an- oh just listen to the song!

Look, I’ve never done this before. I play by sheet because I can’t do this by ear.

Now I’m willing to try here, but you gotta throw me a bone. I got some notes, I have no idea what scale or duration. I’m not going to screw with this all night just for it to come out like crap.

Now when you say C, which C? Middle C? Am I going up or down from that? I’m assuming treble.

What’s the note duration on these? Quarter if there’s a space and eighth if there isn’t?

Anonymous asked: I was thinking along the lines of "[omitted] could be worse, so laugh about your life"nor something...I'll be honest, I think I may have approached this the wrong way...

I count my blessings everyday.

There’s a lot more of them than many might think.

theblackstrawberry asked: It's south of the hospital, half a mile down the road. It has a picture of my icon on the mail box, you can't miss it.

Alright, headed out now. I’ll see what I can do.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: sent the notes to a song, mother russia to ya, they were kinda long and guess what?

Oh… Sorry…

No, I didn’t get them.

theblackstrawberry asked: So I get off the whale, and I start walking, and the compass leads me to a house. This witch doctor says she says once you are cursed, your number of curses never go down, but you can switch them. So now I changed the curse so I can become a ghost at will. I need you to do me a favor and hit a glowing button that's under a chair in my room.

Uh…

Where’s your house again?

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: i'm gonna hurt tumblr pretty badly if you don't get this

I got it.

What’s up?

Anonymous asked: Now what have we learned?

That jokes about sexually transmitted diseases aren’t funny when aimed at ponies who have, on more than one occasion, had intercourse without being one hundred percent, willfully consenting.

I’m sorry, I was hoping that’s what you’ve learned.

Anonymous asked: You realize I won't stop until you laugh at this a little.

Fine, mission complete.

Can you drop it now?

Anonymous asked: Simple. Draw yourself, only without the syphilis.

I can’t complain, it was sort of funny in its minimalistic approach.

But the whole subject is wearing thin.

Anonymous asked: You can draw me a picture.

I can’t for the life of me think of what I could draw that would get the idea across any better.

Anonymous asked: No. I just want a tiny bit. Of your syphilis.

How else can I explain this to you?
