Here be a Tumblr about a catering, cycling, gaming, drawing New Yorker. Thoughts, videos, pictures, music, ponies & anything in between. Never stop smiling. :D

I spend my whole year working shows. It’s not often that I get to sit down & watch a show. I’d be lying if I said my mind wasn’t on the scores of people working hard to make things like this happen. To them, my unending gratitude. And to us family, to an evening of fun, memories & a kick off to a happy, healthy holiday season. <3 (at Radio City Music Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClcV-SXvjPn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

They say dress for the occasion. On this occasion, I would have been better off with a jogging suit. At least my coworkers thought I looked sharp. I was in charge on this particular night so I had to. Hehe. (at Carnegie Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFsRppOltI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It may not be my exact view tonight but it’s a view that I’ve become familiar with recently. It means that I’ve escaped work…or I could be heading in considerably early. What I’m also heading into is hopefully a little more activity here. It’s not a full movement, but I have this & it’s been gathering virtual dust for some time. It’s not my main hub of activity but I may as well give it some use. How much? Well, we saw what happened the last time I posted. (Insert that one Titanic GIF of elderly Rose.) But let’s see what becomes of this attempt to do the Instagrams. For now, hope this pic finds you all well.

Joey: Don’t you ‘I have the high ground’ me, Clara.

Clara: ...you’re no fun.

Lazy Day

Lazy sketch for a lazy day, because today's been lazy. ...except for the time it took me to sketch this. Hehe.

Don’t be surprised you didn’t go through the painting, Lucky. You’re not Mario. :P

(To clarify, Lucky got a little disoriented while flying. She thankfully didn’t crash into the painting but she did need to be helped down.)

Here be a small recap of the little I sketched during 2020.

How It All Began...

(Deviantart link: https://www.deviantart.com/cityflyer502/art/How-It-All-Began-857729091)

“This is where the magic happens, this is where magic lives.”

Magic is just one way to describe what ‘Friendship Is Magic’ was, is & continues to be for so many people. Even after ten years of it being around. Even after the series came to an end.

Magic is just one way to describe everything that followed in its wake. Music. Art. Stories. Crafts. Whole conventions that attracted scores of people, some coming from far reaches of the world.

For some people, it was a little curiosity that soon turned into honest interest.

For some, it changed their perspective on many things & opened their minds to much more than they knew or thought they knew.

For some, it became a lifeline. Lifting them out of a dark place. Even from the brink.

One thing can have many different meanings. ‘Friendship Is Magic’ is no different. The experiences may be different from person to person, but I think the feeling of knowing we share a common bond is the same.

A bond of friendship, understanding & knowing.

Time will pass. Time goes on. Who knows how we’ll look back on things ten years from now. Who knows what the world will look like in that time. Change is the norm. Something I’m sure we’ve all seen in dramatic fashion these past few months.

For me, I know I’ll look back on the series & say ‘that’s where it all started.’

Happy 10th anniversary, ‘Friendship Is Magic.’ Thank you to everyone that made it happen & gave so much of themselves to bring us something truly magical.
