He's real happy for a fresh start.

I'm gonna go into a long speech about 2014, so before I do that, I just want to say that I haven't done the subject of MLP in a long time, but it at least gave me time to experiment with various expressions and styles, and I think I'm satisfied with my current style. 

Pictured here, the Mane 6 and the Royal Sisters are celebrating the New Years in Princess Twilight's castle. Discord suddenly materializes and surprises the bunch, making Princess Celestia spew her tea. They are glad to see Discord decided to visit, but they are awaiting a reaction from the Ruler of the Sun herself, half expecting it to be negative. They feel they know her well enough that she will just smile, acknowledge that she got startled, and magically clean up the mess. She doesn't get angry too much, so a minor event such as this probably wouldn't set her off.

~~~~~2014: Year in Review~~~~~

I'll post this all in the journal as well.

2014. What can I say? It was a year of happiness, loss, enlightenment, and discovery. With all that happened this year, it looks as if this defined the human attitude and mind more than the past decade, with all of this technology and conflict coming about. A lot has occurred, and some of those events seemed to have left wounds both in our minds and in history itself. A lot of the events that occurred: MH370 and 17, the Crimean Crisis, Gaza, Boko Haram, ISIS, Ferguson, The NYPD, Ebola, as well as the deaths of some of the biggest names on the planet, including Robin Williams, Maya Angelou, Ralph Baer, Joan Rivers, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, very recently Christine Cavanaugh, and other major names and events worth mentioning were indeed angering, upsetting, or both. 

I'd like to go in depth with how I said this year seemed to define the human attitude greatly. Recall how multiple points of the 1960s were: protests for rights, peace, a halt to an ongoing war. This year is somehow akin to those events, if not, reflective to those events in a way, which is a little frightening. The Crimean Crisis as well as the Umbrella Protests in China demanded a new form of government, control, or anything of the sort. The strenuous relations between US police officers and the public bring about protests nationwide, all on the subject of whether their relationships with mainly African Americans were questionable or not. This year even brought about the fear of war involving ISIS and the conflict over in Syria. This shows that we are still seeking a change of some sort. We still strive for better relations with one another. It's human ambition, and some of the actions taken for these ambitions and changes range from rather mild and peaceful to something horrible and outright unnecessary.

Though despite all of these bad and malice events, there is still good. The Cold War has finally ended with President Obama attempting to treat Cuba as a non-belligerent country by opening its air routes, the World Cup Finals, the spacecraft landed on the comet, opening new paths of discovery, operations over in Afghanistan were brought to a close just in time as NATO said, the immigration policy of the US has finally been fixed, and even things small but impactful such as the commuters tipping a train to help a trapped man in Australia and even new advances in technology to help those who lost a sense sometime in their life. Although there seems to be a minimal amount of positives listed, they are still enough to just enlighten the soul and give a great feeling of humanity.

You see, a lot occurred this year. Despite all the negativity and misunderstanding that happened within the past 365 days, I'll say that I liked living through it, and I think I'm even going to miss it a bit, like how I did with 2012. The reason is that a lot happened. But with quantity came quality. What I'm saying is that a lot happened this year, and many recalled the events and brought it into their everyday lives. I don't like 2014 for just that reason, but because I know that a lot of these events were significant. So significant that it seems like something worth noting in a book. There are events like these that we could reflect on and learn from, so we could suture those wounds and take a turn for the better in the future. History only seems to repeat itself, so let's find a way to bring that to a close.

God bless you all, and hope for a positive and equally eventful 2015. Thank you all for a great year on dA,  don't hope for another chaotic one, like Discord here. ^^

If there are any super-significant details I overlooked or wrote inaccurately, please let me know.
