Well, this Sunday I was on Twitter, when I saw a tweet by Mattibbrian saying "Holy S***" (I censored it myself if you were curious) with a link to the TTTEwikia. I was curious, so I decided to see what it was and I found this: ttte.wikia.com/wiki/King_of_th…
Yes, the Fall 2013 Thomas special has been revealed; King of the Railway! The following day it was spread by blogs of TopHatt and SiF. I decided to share my first impressions of it.
1. [b]Oh, for Goodness Sakes![/b] I just saw [i]Blue Mountain Mystery[/i] a month ago, and already they've revealed next year's!
2. [b]Again?[/b] From the Basic plot, it seems it's going to be yet [i]another[/i], Thoms finds a lost old engine. This plotline is getting old in my opinion. However, given the look of the engine behind him, it looks like they'll do it right this time time; having an engine who [i]truly is old.[/i]
3.[b]JACK!![/b] Jack is making his return in CGI! That's fun; first the Narrow Gauge engines; now potentially the pack!
With Blue Mountain Mystery, I followed the revelations for the special from start to finish, but I'm not sure if I want to do it with this special; I don't like spoilers. The plot elements of Blue Mountain Mystery; the classic flashbacks, Victor being the lost engine, Thomas almost falling off a cliff, Rheneas being painted yellow at the end, would all have been more fun if they had been surprises. But, in order to fully avoid spoilers, I'd have to leave the internet for nearly a year.
We'll see.

Couple of Turned Down Soapbox Entries
The first of these is one I submitted to Equestria Daily for their "Community Soapbox." Somehow it was never actually featured. The second one I myself turned down. I decided to share them both here. #1 Theory: Twilight Mixed up Meadowbrook with Mistmane In “The Cutie Map,” Twilight implies that Meadowbrook is a unicorn- specifically Eastern Unicorn. However in Season 7, she is an earth pony instead. Now, the easiest and most obvious explanation is that they had a throwback and didn’t double check for continuity errors. But I have an in-universe theory for why this mistake happened. Meadowbrook, in addition to being shown as an earth pony in Season 7, is also seen as one of the Pillars of Equestria. Another Pillar is Mistmane. Mistmane is a unicorn. The setting of Mistmane’s story is one that strongly resembles what has come to be known as the Eastern part of the world. Furthermore, Twilight admitted that she had not studied Eastern unicorns as much as much as she should

Important Update on my Life
I thought, since I've mentioned it on other social media, I should mention it here too. I am engaged. Yep; got engaged a few months ago; I'm getting married this Summer. I just thought you all should know.
Thoughts on Thanksgiving
(Originally posted on Facebook, modified in a few places for DA.)
Yesterday I was thinking about how my primary reason for not wanting to think too deeply about Christmas is for the sake of Thanksgiving.
I've become unsure of Thanksgiving, and its origins.
I've thought about the post I made on Facebook the day before Independence Day, of the two conflicting American ambitions of "Make a safe haven for people wishing to escape tyrannical jerks" and "build an empire where the caucasian race is dominant."
I also remembered an article posted in May by a Native American, who described Thanksgiving as "mythical."
