well guys and gals, today is july 6th, here in America, which is just another day to most, but a special day to me, the day my mom shit me out.
so i've officially been alive for 2 decades, and as i bid my teenage/childhood day farewell as im listening to Kid A by radiohead(look it up, really great song), i cant help but feel indebted to the thing that i acredit my character, personality and over all self to, anime and manga. growing up, i never looked up to people, they were alway so flawed to me, even the people i felt in my heart could do no wrong, always ended up disproveing me. During the time of my childhood when i truly fell on black days, i would always skip over the stuff on tv at night, but i remember the exact night anime first walked into my life. i was 9, my mom and dad had been argueing over why I was so anti-social and they finally stopped at around 12:30 early into sunday. I was skipping channels when i noticed a show that at first confused me, but then captivated me with the strong morality of its characters. Gattchaman was the name, and from then on i watch more things, like voltron, zoids and DB. It was so strange to me, cartoon characters that werent dropping anvils on eachother and werent talking animals, but more like real people, with real emotions and real issues in thier lives, being backed by powerful story within thier lives that they would deal with as adults do. i know this sounds COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, but i took the strong morality, honesty and simplicity from those characters, and added them to my own personality, to try and be the human being that i always searched for, to make myself into an example human being that others could emmulate. i'd say that honestly, i havent done as well of a job that i wish i could, but i still try, everyday, and thats all that matter to me. i thank everyone who decided to read this long shit up till this point and i also thank anyone who wishes me a happy B-day, but i'd like to send my biggest thank you to all the mangaka out there, who see people as the divine beings that we could be, if we only tried. THANK YOU
