Nightly Roundup #607

The evolution of an individual is a glorious process. It's an accumulation of experiences, events, and learning that shape the story of each and every single person that has ever been or will ever be. Each story is no less amazing than the next as everyone starts from a blank slate as we come squealing into the world. Everyone has a story to tell, each different from each other and just as important as the last because life itself is an epic journey we must all go through.

Never put down what you have done in your life. You may not be 'famous', rich, or have discovered something earth shattering, but you living in of itself is an epic feat worth telling for if life has shaped anyone it has shaped yourself.

Go out and live, tell your story and continue adding chapters to this book we call life.

News time guys! Check it after the break.

Music of the Day #79

I ran out of Luna, so have some Trixie instead

As promised in yesterday's music of the day, we have 20 songs today! Can you handle the flood? I think not!

Onward to musics! And remember to include a genre if you submit a song.  People most likely pick and choose these based on that!

P.O.P.E. Battle: Luna vs Twilight!

When Celestia gave Twilight Sparkle wings, she completely forgot that there were already too many alicorns and not enough empires to run or celestial bodies to raise!  After a month of hard negotiation with various members of the Canterlot elite, a new title has been chosen: P.O.P.E., or Princess of Pony Excellence.

Due to popular demand however, the citizens of Equestria have decided to put this title up for vote (on the EQD sidebar due to budget cuts on ballot boxes), completely ruining all of Celestias plans.  The two finalists ended up being Twilight Sparkle and Luna.   It is up to you to decide which pony will be worthy of the title of first P.O.P.E. of Equestria!
