Howdy yall...

Howdy, it's me, Vidal99977 as most of yall know me by.

Wooo wee, looks at clock it's been 2.2 years since the last time I uploaded a "build" to this site. Damn... it feels like it was yesterday that I posted my jar on this site but i was wrong.

So what happened?

Oh boy, a lot of things happened within this 2 year span. I was working on a Dodge Challenger Nascar for this game 1.9 years ago and promised to upload it a week after the video teaser. That never happened. I just, lost motivation and ultimately forgot about it. And then I was introduced to depression. I was starting to fall behind on all my classes and started to fail them after getting honor roll A's and B's for 6 consecutive years. This really demotivated me a lot of the things that I used to enjoy back then. And right after that, my parents just stopped caring for me ever since. It just kept getting worse after that. I eventually lost all of my friends that supported me and were always there for and with me on trying times. Eventually, my girlfriend decided to cheat on me with another girl, and I eventually harmed myself at one point and considered ending my life multiple times.

I was later introduced to My Little Pony by a mutual discord friend of mine; he Recommended me to watch at least one episode of it to help me with my depression. Before I knew, I was binge watching it for hours a day nonstop. It's an amazing show I tell ya.

Where am I now?

Well, I'm doing better in my Junior year now, having A's B's and some C's above average, mentally, I am slightly better, but still worn out. I play electric guitar now to relax myself and it works very well. Yeah, I still watch ponies every so and so.

I never knew how much a 2 dimensional rainbow haired pegasus could influence my life...

She influenced me to go out and pursuit a career in the Air Force, with the Thunderbirds, introduced me to guitar, gave me motivation to keep going and to never give up on your biggest goals, to treasure your greatest accomplishments, and ultimately, be the awesome person that you truly are.

If she was real, I would hug her and thank her for turning my crappy life around and making a better, more awesome life...

Oh yeah, about SP..

I still play this game more than often when im bored and I need something to kill time. Even though I lost basically all of my building skills, I still download the amazing aircraft that yall the Community have posted out there. Then proceed to to pretend that I am Mihaly Shilage and shoot down the enemy aircraft and ships lol.

Will I ever build and post again?

I'll be very honest, I will most likely never post another build here again. I just, lost my abilities over time. In addition to that, I am focusing on my education and marking my path towards a Thunderbirds pilot. It's gonna be a long way there, but I WILL make it.

I really missed yall...

So anyways,

How's everyone been in these past 2.2 years?

    @Super737 I was pretty surprised about it too. At first, I refused to watch it because "mlp girls only bad for boys" bias. And then one day I just said "screw it" and watched the very first episode. I got hooked into it, learned about many life lessons and such, and in all, enjoyed a beautiful cartoon show. I was never disappointed of it at all.
