After some thought, I have decided that I am not going to post on this blog anymore and not access this blog anymore.
This is something that has actually been on my mind for a while now and it has not been an easy decision for me to come to. Nonetheless, I feel that it is something that is for the best.
Before I say anything else, I apologize to the person who has followed this blog (you know who you are) and I thank you for following this blog.
I would like to say that I have certainly enjoyed my time on here, even if it hasn’t been too lively. I wish that I could stay on here, but due to a few personal reasons, I just can’t see that happening. While I won’t divulge those reasons, I will say that they have nothing to do with the person who has followed this blog, any of the people who have read this blog, nor any of the people who have commented on this blog.
If you want to find me, you can check me out on my other blog about dragons and How to Train Your Dragon.

I would be pleased and delighted to see you there. As a heads up, I don’t use Disqus for comments on that blog, as Disqus can’t be installed on that blog.

The Second Anniversary of How to Train Your Dragon 2
Today is the second anniversary of How to Train Your Dragon 2! I can't believe that How to Train Your Dragon 2 is two years old now, to say the least.
Anyways, I celebrated today by watching How to Train Your Dragon 2 while multi-tasking (briefly chatting with a few people on the Berk's Grapevine public chat and chatting with one person on Skype) after I got home from work. I didn't really have any different feelings than the last time that I watched it, though I will admit that I wept a bit during Stoick's funeral for the second time.
I can't really think of anything else to say, except that I can't wait for the third film and I hope it won't disappoint.

A Funny Sign
I know that I haven’t posted any new entries in a while. I’ve been busy with work and other things in life. In addition, I’ve been having an existential crisis lately (which hasn’t been resolved yet).
Anyways, I thought I’d share something that I think is funny.
Whenever someone calls me “bud” or I hear someone call someone else “bud” at work, I always think of Hiccup calling Toothless “bud”.
Is this a sign of my slight obsession with How to Train Your Dragon? Probably. ;) XD

The Fifth Has Come Again
Well, today is my birthday, and it was a cool day.
I got to sleep in this morning, which was a relief. Before I woke up, I had a dream where my dragon guardian/guide told me to be thankful that he is my guardian.
For the afternoon, I just hung out at home, surfed the Internet, watched random videos on Youtube, and briefly chatted with two people from Berk’s Grapevine on Skype (both of whom wished me a happy birthday ^^). I also got two gift cards for restaurants from my father.
Then, in the evening, I had dinner out with a couple of my friends. I told them how I was and we talked with each other, but I mostly listened to them talk about different things (sometimes while chuckling). They told me that they didn’t get my gift yet because they were busy with other things, which I understood. After we finished having dinner, I went home and my family and I had cake.
Overall, I had a good birthday this year. I’m happy about the gifts that I got (so far, anyways) and I’m glad that I have the family and friends that I have.
On a final note, I thought that I’d end this entry with a little bit of trivia: Like Hiccup, I was born prematurely.

A Thought and a Feeling
Sorry that I haven’t posted anything in a while. I’ve been busy writing a couple of poems (both of which were inspired by some of my dreams about dragons) and doing other things in life.
Anyways, something interesting that relates to my dragon guardian/guide happened a little while ago.
I was writing part of a short poem that’s more or less my reflection on my dragon guardian/guide telling me that it is time to know who I am. At this point, I thought that I was done writing it, but I suddenly had the desire to write a few additional stanzas for it (and I’m glad that I did). After I wrote the first of those stanzas, I thought about it (that stanza) and thinking about it led to me feeling that I was understanding my dragon guardian/guide a little better than I was before. It’s not that I felt that I was writing from his point of view, because I wasn’t, but that I somewhat felt where he was coming from with regards to telling me that it is time to know who I am.
On a somewhat different note, I don’t know where I’m going to take this blog for the time being. I’ve been writing some new entries, but I’m not quite sure about what to post next.

Happy How to Train Your Dragon Day!
Happy How to Train Your Dragon day!
I can’t believe that the film How to Train Your Dragon is six years old now. I didn’t watch it while it was out in theaters, but I watched it back in 2014 and I’m so glad that I did. It became one of my favorite films about dragons, not to mention that it introduced me to an incredible fandom that I’m glad to be a part of.
Anyways, since I didn’t celebrate this day last year, I plan on celebrating it by watching How to Train Your Dragon later tonight.

A Good (and Funny) Thing
One year ago today, I finished writing my poem about my dragon guardian/guide. (Well, to be more specific, I finished writing the first draft of it. I made many revisions to it later on, and I plan on making some more revisions to it in the future.) I felt a real sense of relief at the time and felt that I had outdone myself, as it ended up being longer than I originally intended it to be. I was surprised at how fast it came together as well. To this day, I consider it to be my magnum opus and feel that I won’t be able to top it in the future.
There is one thing about this that’s funny to me, though: Since then, I haven’t had a dream where my dragon guardian/guide has asked me if I wrote a poem about him or has told me that he knows that I wrote a poem about him. XD

A Strange Thing to Be Told
If there is one thing that my dragon guardian/guide has told me in my dreams that I find to be strange, it’s that I am awesome. That sounds like something that I’d be told by a friend (as opposed to being told by a guardian/guide).

Blog Information and Policies
After some thought, I felt that I would write an entry about information about this blog, how this blog works, and the policies for this blog.
I’ll start off by mentioning a few things regarding my dragon guardian/guide (some of which relate to this blog and some of which relate to things about him that I consider).
1. While I write quite a bit about my dragon guardian/guide, some of the dreams that I’ve had about him, and some of the messages that he has told me in my dreams on this blog (mainly to get my thoughts and feelings about them off of my chest), I won’t go into too much detail about them on this blog, as there are some things about them that are rather personal to me (and that I would prefer to keep personal). If you ask me a question about my dragon guardian/guide, the dreams that I’ve had about him, or the messages that he has told me in my dreams and I answer it by saying that I would rather not reveal what you’re asking me about, I hope that you will understand where I am coming from.
2. Even though my dragon guardian/guide has been appearing in my dreams for a few years, I haven’t found out much about him. If you ask me a question about my dragon guardian/guide that doesn’t involve something that’s rather personal to me and I don’t answer it, it’s because your question involves something that I haven’t found out yet. (If I do happen to find out what that something is, whether or not I’ll reveal what that something is depends on whether or not it’s something that’s rather personal to me.)
3. I take what my dragon guardian/guide tells me about life in my dreams a little bit lightly on the inside. I do this even when I feel that he has a great point, I feel that there is some amount of truth in what he tells me, or he tells me something that’s deep and is a lot for me to take in. This comes from my belief that the things that I am told in my dreams don’t really mean anything unless they’re repeated over and over again (for the most part, anyways).
4. I always take what my dragon guardian/guide tells me about myself in my dreams with a substantial grain of salt. I do this even when he tells me something that’s simple, he tells me something that’s deep and is a lot for me to take in, or he tells me the same thing over and over again. Part of this comes from me being a skeptic and part of this comes from it being a healthy thing to do.
5. When it comes to things about my dragon guardian/guide that don’t exactly or directly involve what he tells me in my dreams (e.g. that my dragon guardian/guide is trying to guide me towards finding out more about who I am and knowing myself as well as I can), they’re things that I think, feel, or believe with some amount of doubt; they’re not things that I consider to be true without question. Again, part of this comes from me being a skeptic and part of this comes from it being a healthy thing to do.
Now I’m going to clear something up. Even though I have a dragon guardian/guide that appears in my dreams, I am not a spiritual person (though I have been questioning my spirituality lately) and I am an agnostic (as opposed to being a Wiccan or being a Pagan). Also, even though I am an agnostic, I respect the religious beliefs of others (seeing as I’m friends with a few Christians, for one thing). If your beliefs – whether they’re religious beliefs or other beliefs – differ from my beliefs for one reason or another, I won’t insult you for it nor attack you for it.
Those things aside, while I have mentioned that I write poems (two of which have been published in two issues of an annual art and literary journal, and both of which aren’t about dragons) time and time again on this blog, I will not be posting the poems that I’ve written on this blog, even if they are poems about dragons. The reason for this is that I don’t want to increase the chances of my poems being plagiarized.
Regarding comments, PLEASE feel free to leave comments! I really like it when people comment on this blog, even if their comments are simple. If you don’t comment, then I don’t really know if what I’ve posted is interesting or if people have read my posts. I use Disqus for comments on this blog, and all that you need to create a Disqus account is an e-mail address. I try to reply to comments as much as I can, but I am more often than not busy with other things in life and I tend to be careful about what I say in my replies to comments, so don’t be surprised if I don’t reply to comments right away. So, if you have any thoughts or opinions about a post on this blog, please feel free to include them in a comment.
Speaking of which, I would like no sorts of vulgar or bad language in the comments. I have seen a few other blogs have that kind of atmosphere and while I do tolerate it to a certain extent, I would rather not have that kind of atmosphere here on this blog.
There’s one more thing that I’ll mention about this blog. Even though this blog is partially about How to Train Your Dragon, don’t expect to see any How to Train Your Dragon fan art, fan fiction, images, screen caps, gifs, etc. on this blog. I do not – and will not – post said things on this blog because I don’t want to risk running into legal issues.
Well, that’s pretty much how this blog works. I would like to end this by saying thank you to the people who read this blog and the people who comment on it. :)

A Constant Message
I’ve been rather curious about the recent dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guardian/guide. To be more specific, I’ve been curious as to why my dragon guardian/guide has constantly been telling me that it is time to know who I am in the recent dreams that I’ve had about him.
The dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guardian/guide have tended to vary (but not too much) throughout the time that I’ve had them so far (which is almost six years and four months as of this writing). However, since the middle of last June, all of the dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guardian/guide (except for a few) have consisted of him telling me that it is time to know who I am.
Did something happen that led to my dragon guardian/guide constantly telling me that it is time to know who I am in the recent dreams that I’ve had about him? Is my dragon guardian/guide stressing that I should know who I am as soon as I can instead of waiting to know who I am? Is my dragon guardian/guide implying that I should try to find out who I am? I honestly don’t know, so it’s hard for me to say.
I will say that this message – that it is time to know who I am – is something that I don’t focus on or think about a lot, seeing as I have other things and more important things on my mind a lot. In addition, while I have thought of writing a poem about this message since it is pretty deep to me and is a lot for me to take in, I’m not sure when or if I’m actually going to do it for the time being, seeing as I have other things that I want to write poems about first.
Whatever the reason behind my dragon guardian/guide constantly telling me that it is time to know who I am, I hope that the dreams of him telling me that it is time to know who I am won’t become dreams that I will stop having after a while and never have again.

What Some of My Dragon Dreams Have Led To
Even though I find the dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guardian/guide to be confusing, I nonetheless feel that there are a few interesting things that these dreams have led to.
These dreams have led to me wondering who I really am. My dragon guardian/guide has sometimes claimed to know who I truly am, and while I’ve always taken that claim with a substantial grain of salt, I still have come to the realization that I just don’t know who I really am.
These dreams have led to me wondering what potential I really have. My dragon guardian/guide has told me that I am more than what I have become, and while I’ve taken that with a substantial grain of salt, I still have yet to find out how – and in what ways – I am more than what I have become.
These dreams have led to me considering going on some kind of journey to try and find myself (though I’m not sure what kind of journey it would be at the moment).
These dreams have led to me questioning my spirituality. In particular, the dreams where my dragon guardian/guide has told me why he was chosen to be my guardian (which is something that I refuse to reveal for personal reasons) have led me to question and somewhat reconsider my spirituality. For the record, I haven’t been a spiritual person throughout my life so far.
These dreams have led to me writing two great poems last year (one of which I consider to be my magnum opus and feel I won’t be able to top in the future – and both of which I still will not be sharing at all).
So, I’m glad and thankful that I have these dreams despite the fact that I find them to be confusing (as strange as that may sound).

Happy (belated) Appreciate a Dragon Day!
Happy belated Appreciate a Dragon Day! As you will note, I am not posting this on the 16th. The reason is that I didn’t know that Appreciate a Dragon Day was on the 16th. In fact, I didn’t even know about Appreciate a Dragon Day until the 16th (and even then, I didn’t look up information about it and find out that it was on the 16th, mainly because I was busy with other things).
Anyways, since I didn’t celebrate Appreciate a Dragon Day on the 16th, I thought that I’d write about several things regarding dragons that I’m glad about.
I’m glad that I was born in the Year of the Dragon (and I can’t find the words to explain why).
I’m glad that I became fascinated with dragons when I was young. If I hadn’t become fascinated with dragons when I was young, I honestly don’t know if I’d be the person that I am today (to a certain extent).
I’m glad that I’ve read a few books about dragons or books that have dragons in them, such as (but not limited to) The Hobbit by the late J. R. R. Tolkien; Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums by the late Anne McCaffrey; and Mistress of Dragons by Margaret Weis. I’m also glad that I’ve read a few short stories about dragons or short stories that have dragons in them, such as (but not limited to) “The Smallest Dragonboy” by the late Anne McCaffrey. They became a few of my favorite books and short stories, not to mention that some of them changed my views of dragons in literature.
I’m glad that I’ve watched the following movies about dragons: Dragonheart, Dragonheart: A New Beginning, How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Dragonheart 3: The Sorcerer’s Curse. They became my favorite movies about dragons (seeing as I like movies about dragons that don’t picture dragons as bad or evil creatures), not to mention that a few of them changed my views of dragons in movies.
Last but not least, I’m glad (and thankful) that I’ve had dreams about my dragon guardian/guide for a little more than six years now. Though these dreams tend to be confusing, I’d rather have them than not have them – and I don’t know if I’d be the person that I am today (to a certain extent) if I didn’t have them in the first place.
There’s one more thing that I thought I’d mention (which I find to be interesting and coincidental). On Appreciate a Dragon Day last year, I wrote part of my poem about my dragon guardian/guide; it was my ninth day of writing that poem (and it was a long ways away from being finished at the time).
I hope that everyone had a great 16th!

A Slight Change
After recently reading a couple of online articles about dragon guardians and thinking about some of the dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guide, I’ve decided to change the “Dragon Guide” label on this blog (and on the entries that have said label) to the following label: “Dragon Guardian/Guide”. I’ve also decided that from now on, I’m going to refer to my dragon guide as my dragon guardian/guide on this blog (and in my replies to the comments on this blog).
There are two things that led to me making these decisions. First, my dragon guardian/guide has always told me that he is my guardian and has never told me that he is my guide in the dreams that I’ve had about him, though he once told me that he is here to guide me. (However, his words and actions have tended to lean towards guiding me more than protecting me.) Second, while I feel that the terms “guardian” and “guide” are interchangeable, I feel that they’re interchangeable only to a small degree; thus, I felt that using both terms would be better than using just one term.
For those of you who leave comments on this blog, it doesn’t matter to me whether you refer to my dragon guardian/guide as a dragon guardian, a dragon guide, or both. It’s just how I refer to him that’s going to change.
I apologize if this entry happens to be a bit boring. I do plan on posting more things, but I’m not exactly sure of what I’ll be posting next at the moment. Also, I’m not sure how often I’ll be posting for a while, as I’m going to hopefully begin writing a new poem later this week (and while I won’t reveal exactly what it’s about, I will say that it has nothing to do with dragons).

Curious About a Dragon in My Dreams
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the dreams that I’ve had about the red Western dragon that claims to be a friend of my dragon guide (which is something that my dragon guide has neither confirmed nor denied, even to this day). I’ve also been thinking about the fact that this red dragon’s personality isn’t the same as my dragon guide’s personality. This has led to me being curious about this red dragon and wondering why this red dragon appears in my dreams.
Most of the dreams that I’ve had about this red dragon have been trivial (well, trivial compared to some of the dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guide, anyways). They tend to either consist of him telling my dragon guide something (such as telling my dragon guide that he has done a good job of being my guardian) or consist of him telling me something (such as telling me to listen to my dragon guide).
Though most of the dreams that I’ve had about this red dragon have been trivial, two of the dreams that I’ve had about him have stood out to me.
The first dream that I had about this red dragon that stood out to me was the second dream that I had about him. In this dream, he told me that he wouldn’t eat me nor hurt me and that he would watch over me until my dragon guide (who he referred to by name) came. Then, my dragon guide arrived and thanked the red dragon for watching over me. He then told the red dragon that he may go and the red dragon flew away. This dream stood out to me because it was the first dream where my dragon guide’s name was revealed to me (and I had it almost one year after I had my first dream about my dragon guide).
The second dream that I had about this red dragon that stood out to me was a dream where he told me that my dragon guide was chosen to be my guardian and asked me if I knew why. I told him that I didn’t know why my dragon guide was chosen to be my guardian. Then, I asked him what he meant about my dragon guide being chosen to be my guardian. He responded by telling me that I might find out in time and that I would only wait until then. This dream stood out to me because three-and-a-half years after I had this dream, I ended up having a dream where my dragon guide revealed why he was chosen to be my guardian.
However, in spite of these things, I still find myself wondering why this red dragon appears in my dreams. Does he represent a voice of reason? Does he give me advice that I should follow? It’s honestly hard for me to say, considering that little has been revealed about him in the dreams that I’ve had about him so far.
