Like the title says!

Hi guys!

A lot has happened in the past ten days, and a bunch is technically classified (Though I have no idea why ) so I'll give you the short, safe version.

Day 1: Departure
Day 2: Dead in water
Day 3: -REDACTED-
Day 4: Boring
Day 5: GQ Drills
Day 6: Boring Drills
Day 7: -REDACTED- Drills
Day 8: Boring -REDACTED-
Day 9: Arrival at Port Klang, Malaysia

TODAY: Sick as a dog... But hey, I had a lot of time on the ship (between drills) to work on my computer, and guess what?...
I FINALLY DESIGNED AND DREW MY GRYPHON OC, MLP STYLE!! (On the laptop track pad... Which sucked.)

HERE HE IS!! ----> [link] <----

Now some of you may be wondering; "Gryph, why are there so many different types of dogs?"
To that I say; "I don't know, but if per chance you meant to ask me about my Pony OC "Gryph"
Well, this fanfic by explains it all: [link]

EDIT: My rock band will be playing at 8:00 pm in the 1 Utama Shopping Center today (June 4th) Lower Ground Concourse area!
Malaysian bronies swing by if you can! I'd love to see you there!

Well, I've blabbered enough!

Love you guys! I'll see you if I get to -REDACTED-
Fingers crossed...

HI GUYS!!

So I'm tired and busy and probably not gonna be funny cause I'm tired and busy and typing quickly without punctuation or proper sentence structure and saying whatever pops into my sleep-deprived mind I wish I had a puppy.

No srsly though, I'm leaving for a two month deployment in a few hours.
I'd tell you where I was going but I'm not asposta do that.
It's classified and stuff.

Anyway, I try not to write these notes without giving you guys a little somethin', so here; have a crappy lil song thing I did using some vocal tweets from Tabitha.
----> [link] <----

I may finish it one day... But not now.. Cause, you know... I'm leaving...
Yeah.

WUBS WUBS WUBS!!


~Gryph

HELLO YOU!!
YOU PERSON!


Anyway person, I thought I'd post some updates and let you know what's going on with me
and my projects and stuff and crap and what not and all that jazz!

So, I just got back from Korea... That was interesting.
(They had a huge collection of styrofoam missiles... )
I'll be back in Japan for about three weeks before I head out on a ship again for another two months, but after that guess what?...
THAT'S MY LAST TOUR!!
I'm DONE!
That's it!
I'm out!
I'm finished!
I'll be a veteran!
I'll be there!
I'll be around!
I'll be home for Christmas!
I'll be gone in a day or TWOOOOOOO!!!

But enough with the 80's music references.
I've got a LOT of projects to punch through before I leave, so I'm pretty busy.
Still, I'll try and find time to check my messages if you've sent me something.
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you in a while.
Here, have a cookie!

Oops... Donut...

As far as the upcoming projects go... Some are kinda hushety-hush, but I CAN tell you that I'll be doing another colab with Michelle Creber (Apple Bloom VA) before I leave, and will most likely be doing a colab with Silva Hound as well...
And maybe,
just maybe
an original song with Rarity...
BUT NO PROMISES YET!! (She doesn't have a mic at the moment... )

OK, last order of business. Got a video that was to cute to pass up.
Here's a vid of Michelle Creber doing an impression of me (I gotta work on my Apple Bloom impression now... )

-----> [link] <-----

(I skipped ahead to the me part cause I'm a cocky son of a biscuit, but you should really watch the whole thing! In fact, you should watch ALL of her videos, she's hilarious! Why don't you subscribe to her channel while you're at it?! Come on! You know you want too! You LOVE Apple Bloom! Yeah! Do it! Do it filly!)

OK! That's all!
LOVE YOU!!


~Gryph

OBLIGATORY POST SCRIPT: I've got some BIG THINGS planned for when I get back to the states this October... Lots and LOTS of cool opportunities lined up... As a matter of fact, I may not be in the states for long... There's an 80% chance I'll be moving to Vancouver...
Again, no promises, it's all up in the air right now, but if the chips fall where they look like they are falling, I'll be saying "eh" a lot more in the next coming year.

Ok, now THAT'S all...
Love you again!
Except this time more, because yeah!

YES! It's finally done!

Check out the new song by me and my brother BAASIK
----> [link] <----

OK... Now I'm supposed to say something funny...

Uuuuuuum...

Something funny

There, I said it.

OK. Gotta go play Halo 4 with Eile Monty, RobBob, and Acoustic Brony!

GAME OVER!! VICTORY!!


WUBS!!

~Gryph

It's pretty much the best song ever written:
----> [link] <----
P.S. I'm officially changing my name to "Black Girlfriend"

Thanks,

~Girl,f.

Hello boys...
I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!


It has been a long and -redacted- tour, but I'm finally back in good old Yokosuka, Japan!
Over the past month, I've been to Hong Kong, Manila PI, and Hiroshima.
Pics on my Twitter account: [link] If thou givst a crap.

But enough about me! Let's talk about me some more!

So as you may already know, I recently collaborated with the one and only Michelle Creber (Voice of Apple Bloom) on a cover of a popular song by Michael Jackson (Voice of Michael Jackson)
AND IT'S DONE!
Not only that, but the fabulous Monique Creber created a music video entirely out of old footage from past concerts!
(I was on the ship and couldn't film anything new. )
Click here to go to an annoying "Now Leaving deviantART" page:

----> Beat It - BlackGryph0n & AppleBloom <----

I'll upload it to my channel later, along with a new song by me and Baasik.
[Spoiler: It's gonna be SICK!! {Not physically sick; figuratively sick. (Though I was physically sick when I recorded my vocals.)}]

OK. I must away with me, I have a TON of messages to reply to!

WUB WOO!!

~Gryph

P.S. As per the requests of many, I finally uploaded an instrumental version of "Proud to be a Brony - Fusion Remix"
[link]
Thanks for your support guys!

Sorry guys, I had really hoped to be done my work before deployment this year, but it came up so fast...

Well, for those of you who don't know, I recently collaborated with Michelle Creber (voice of Apple Bloom... Duh) on my own rendition of... A mystery song...

I had really hoped to be around for the release, but it looks like I'm gonna miss it by just a few hours...

I'll be at sea until March 22nd, so no download until then unfortunately... (Unless I can get some decent internet and the time to work on youtube upload while underway. For those of you who have served, you probably have a good idea of how likely that is. )

It is now 0350.
I leave at 0600.

Sorry guys, I really am.

TTYL
~Gryph

P.S. THANK YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WITHES!! I wish wish WISH I had time to thank you all personally, but I don't...
Please know that I am so thankful and truly touched by your kindness!
Not just on my birthday, but every day!
You guys are the reason I'm Proud to be a Brony!!

Well guys, I've made my decision... I'm leaving the military!

Yeah, I know I was supposed to go to the electric brigade, but the budget cuts were too steep and the 1st class billets are completely closed shut...
No body is getting promoted...
I have no idea how long that will last but I'm not about to reenlist to find out!

Anyway, if all goes according to plan, I'll be leaving Japan (and the Navy) in early October of this year and will be looking for jobs again...
Oh who am I kidding? I'm gonna try out for American Idol, The Voice, The X Factor, and America's got Talent! (Hey, you never know until you try right? )

Anyway, I decided to upload a quick video of a few different singing techniques and imitations I've developed over the years, feel free to let me know what you think!

-----> [link] <-----

Love you guys, and see you on the other side!

~Gryph

Well guys. I landed safely on Mars and am happy to announce that I am an idot.

I actually landed at my family's house in Alabama and am currently having a wonderful holiday with my Mom, Dad, Sister, Sister, and Brother (Baasik).

So much fun in fact that Baasik and I decided we didn't want you to miss out on a moment of it! So we recorded this beautiful Christmas song for your ears to bleed to:
---> [link] <---  

Uploaded to my alternate youtube channel for obvious reasons. If you wanna see more random crap like this, go ahead and subscribe!

TTFN Everyone, and HAPPY HEARTHS WARMING EVE!!

~Gryph

What the title says! I finally finished my remix of "Proud to be a Brony"!... Finally... I mean seriously, it's been what? Like four months?

Anyhizzle, you can find it along with a video of my human OC here: [link]

Lets see, what else... OH YEAH!! I'm going on leave in TWO DAYS PEOPLE!!
I'll be chillin' in Alabamama from the 18th to the 26th of December,
then I'm headin down to lovely ol' NY for the new year and some broadwayidge.
I fly back to Japan on the 2nd of January.

...Wow I have a head ache... I can't even think... Ugh

OH YEAH! SaberSpark is coming to visit me on the 21st! It will be epic! Expect craziness from either my channel or his!

OK... Sleep...

wait...

Nevermind, it's time for work...


Love y'all!


EDIT: OK... Tabitha is officially one of my favorite people ever! She sent this to both Ian Corlett and Tara Strong! Who both tweeted me!
Tabs, I love you!

Hey guys!
Just in case any of you are awake and bored out of your freaking mind, I thought I'd let y'all know that I'm currently livestreaming!

Avoid it if you can though... I'm a little insane...

Streaming here ---> [link]

I'll be answering questions, doing voices, showing science stuff and just shooting the shitoki mushrooms.
I also finally made an OC and will be finishing/uploading it, so feel free to swing by if you're brave.

P.S. I am not yet verified, so the channel only allows for 50 viewers. That's why I didn't give y'all a heads up earlier.
If you missed it and wanted to see it for some strange reason, don't worry crazy ones; there will be plenty more.
Watch my twitter for updates: [link]

LOVE Y'ALL

~Gryph

Thanks to the help of some very special people (who shall remain unnamed for the time being), I am pleased to say that a new "Licious" animation is on it's way!
But be forewarned... It may not be who you expect...

What?
That's it!
Short post OK?
Jeez...
Here, have some of my brothers awesome music: [link]

THIS GUY!!
[link]
DID THIS!!

Altruism:
Probably the rarest and most noble of all human traits.
A characteristic rarely seen in every day encounters, and yet a trait that so many in this amazing community seem to exibit naturally.

One such individual is Caerdwyn.

A Silicon Valley Engineer, roommate of the infamous DustyKatt, and the son of a decorated Navy Pilot; Caerdwyn has given of his time, money, and resources to so many in our community without ever asking for anything in return.
He is the true element of generosity, the embodiment of his father's heroism, and the man I would nominate to be the Ambassador of this great fandom were we ever to elect one!

Caerdwyn,
You have done so much for me and for so many others...
I don't know how to repay you, but rest assured I will think of something!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!

~BlackGryph0n (Gabe)

Just what the title says! Susanna and I will be interviewed tonight on EFR's Lunar Transmissions broadcast at 9:30pm EST. Here's the promo: [link]

In case you still don't know, My sister Susanna (Aeva) in the voice of Rainbow Dash in Rainbowlicious and is also the official Rainbow Dash VA in "Fightning is Magic!"

Swing by and say hi everpony!

Big ol' gryphon huggs!
~BlackGryph0n

P.S. That song I did a few days ago was a request from Tabitha St. Germain and she really liked it.
Check out the cute pic she sent! [link]

Hey guys! I really like Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape!

That aside, this isn't really a new song, more like a cover of an old song by another band. ("Let the Sun Shine" by Labrinth to be exact.)

I did this as a request for a friend and to test out my new mic. Wadda y'all think?  

                                    --> [link] <--

I'll be using this mic again very soon in the new song BAASIK and I are writing. Stay tuned!

Also, many of you will be happy to hear that my little sister Susanna (voice of Rainbow Dash in Rainbowlicious) got the part for RD in "Fighting is Magic!"
Thanks for encouraging us to have her audition guys! Probably wouldn't have done it if it weren't for you!!

Love y'all


~BlackGryph0n

OK guys, I have been getting a LOT of questions about my latest Rarity animation...

While I'd love to answer your questions, the simple fact is I can't... Some VA's prefer their privacy and my Rarity VA is one of them.

For those of you who may be confused about this, let me explain something:
The VA's who work on MLP;FiM have a contract with Hasbro that prevents them from doing fan work. If they were to break this contract they could get in serious trouble! Even if a VA from the show was crazy enough to voice a fan animation, they certainly couldn't tell anyone!
So may I ask that you keep those kinds of questions to a minimum? (Especially on Youtube!)
Even if it's not true, Hasbro could think it is and Tabitha could get in trouble out of the blue. Imagine how confusing THAT would be!

Anyway, yeah... It's a silly little game. Unfortunately, we all have to play it...
Let's keep this fandom awesome and not betray the trust and generosity we receive so often form the creators of this amazing show!

ALSO
I will be appearing live on Everfree Radio for "Stay Brony My Friends" with Dustykatt (the Manliest Brony in the World) this Monday (September 10th) at 1700 (5:00pm) Pacific (California) time. (I like parenthesis)

Swing by and see me! I'd love to chat with you guys!!

Aaaaaand it's done. Here it is on youtube if though givest a crap. [link]

OK... That's all.
~BlackGryph0n

Just to be clear...
What I will be releasing soon is NOT the Meme form Rarity. It is a (rather lengthy) precursor in preparation for the new meme. (Basically explaining why Rarity does not want to participate in the Licious trend )
The meme will be a little harder to animate (full body puppets) so It may take a bit longer, this upcoming animation will tide you over though, I promise!

Also, I'm writing a new song with my brother Baasik! So for peeps who also follow my music, stay tuned!

Thanks for understanding guys!! Stay awesome!!
~BlackGryph0n

P.S. Here's your customary teaser-screenshot: [link]

Why are you reading this? That's all I had to say! Jeez...
[link]

Well my fine fellow bronies, I am pleased to announce a Rarity animated Meme is underway.
Completely unrelated to the "Horrendous 'licious' trend."

Needless to say, I am REALLY excited to get this out to you guys. I will be animating every spare second I have. I'll try to have it done before next Monday.

Stay awesome Bronies! Love y'all!
~BlackGryph0n
