Anonymous asked: What do you think of Rebucka Black's song "Friday"?

I can’t post the video that comes to mind, but I’ll describe it.

Somepony says “what the” followed by a bad word and a loud explosion.

what song?

Now now, wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise!

I probably won’t finish tonight. It’s getting late and I need to work on getting up earlier.

beats per measure, or minute, sorry if im bugging you, todays not my day

Minute! Beats per minute!

Per measure?! Good! Night! That would be impossible!

But there’s a lot of 16th notes.

calm work. please?

How about focused work? At a hundred sixty bpm on a break-beat track, you can’t really go ‘calm’.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: pffft, not here they don't.

Got the video you sent.

Unfortunately, I can’t calm down right now. I’m working.

Applebloom made a request and it’s a little out there. Gotta stay amped; it’s pretty fast.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: i'm confused on some of the omited words

All standard swears; nothing fancy.

The first one might throw you off. Think of something that means to complain and would fit in the phrase “blank and moan.”

letterstoapplebloom-blog-blog asked: Heyyy your music is great! I'm listening to some right this whilst drawing.

Thanks, Applebloom!

Anything you’d like to hear me play? Provided I can find sheet music for it, of course.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: sorry, but your starting to scare me, people in the marines tell themselfs (omited) like that all the time, and they kill themselves. i would feel so bad if another lost a life that way

I’ve been down that path once before. I opened the window and looked out at the street far below.

I closed the window and left.

I’m not going anywhere. Especially not now that I actually have things worth living for.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: btw,you've got to stop w/ the insecurity. its starting to depress me. quit belittleing yourself, no one has yet to add negitive input to your music, so stop.

I’m only saying this because of the update to my speech detection software. So here goes.

Can’t I [Omitted] every now and again? I work hard on this [Omitted]! I don’t mind negative feedback, but I can’t [Omitted] stand spending hours on something and hearing nothing back!

I’m sorry about that…

Anonymous asked: Broken . . . is putting it lightly, I'm sad to say. It could certainly be worse.

Yeah! I could have a shattered hoof and have to start traveling around Equestria starting Tuesday!

Oh wait.

letterstoapplebloom-blog-blog asked: Lyyyyraaaaaaaaa! Ah'm in the middle of drawin' yer pichur!

I’m excited!

Hee hee hee hee hee~!!

Anonymous asked: Why would a dog eat another dog? That's stupid.

Not sure what the origin of the saying is.

But it has the same meaning as ‘kill or be killed.’

Basically, either act while you can, or someone else will take your place. Not always the best concept to run off of, mind you.

Anonymous asked: Why are you the focus of the story? The decision was made after a thorough examination of your heart. It is beautiful, but . . . broken. By the way, do you like the Beegees?

Broken? Great.

The Beegees? Certainly! Not familiar with a great deal of their work, but I wouldn’t have done this late one night if I didn’t!

Anonymous asked: It's a doggy dog world

Isn’t the saying ‘dog eat dog?’

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: don't worry, i wont. i mostly post music but i'll cut back a little

Your current pace is fine; you shouldn’t have to cut back any.
