itsumo anime blog

Just a little note to let those who still come around here that I am very much alive and thriving in my daily meanderings. I am now occupying my days at my place of employment, and it’s been keeping me busy as well as providing me with some extra savings that I so desperately need right now. It’s just so unbelievable how fast time flies when one isn’t paying attention or completely focused on something other than the time. Without getting too much into detail, I’ve been away to work on certain things that I’ve been neglecting for far too long, resulting in some much needed time away from anime blogging. It’s been a huge learning period for me, growing up and having to be responsible for my actions and such. Well, I won’t bore any of you with my personal affairs, so I’ll just say that I GREATLY admire those of you who’ve continued writing and sharing your opinions with your readers, lurkers, and stalkers. I don’t know how in the world you’re able to manage, but it’s definitely something that all of you should be proud of. I’m still not completely back to where I’m able to write anything worthy of your time, but I’m getting there. I just need some more time to…adjust to certain realities that have spawned up in my life as well as finding out what it is that I am here to do on this planet.

Gosh, I remember the days I used to wake up every morning feeling a rush of excitement about a certain show or two airing and the anticipation of waiting for it to be subbed within days of its television debut. In fact, my undergraduate days as a sleepless college student were fueled by the excitement of watching the newest episodes of Naruto. It kept me alive in my classes, and I would come home happy and looking forward to yet another exciting week of another epic battle of some sort. Nowadays, my interest in anime has dwindled down to one or two shows per season, if even that much. I’m not sure what exactly has caused this gradual lack of disinterest, but I suppose it may have started with the changes in my life that forced me to grow up and change. I no longer gravitate toward the negative, and sarcasm is now a MAJOR turn-off to me. I can’t read blogs that spew nothing but negative words, since it’s so easy for me to revert back to my old ways. Albeit, I still enjoy WATCHING gory and violent shows, but not to harbor on the fact that they’re so negative. I guess I’m just tired of the animosity that everyone seems so accustomed to participating in nowadays. Essentially, I’m trying to find my voice again, but in a new light, without the negativity, and without the sarcasm. Episodic reviews were great, but very time consuming, so I doubt that I’ll go down that route again unless it’s a series that I have definite opinions on. Example: If NANA came back with a third season, you better believe that I would be back on my bandwagon, complaining once again about my favorite life-stressed characters, lol. So…I WILL try my best to continue writing soon. I really want to. I’ve made many mistakes such as deleting certain aspects of my personality that I can never get back, so I won’t make the same mistake again over here. Thank you for your patience to those of you who still peruse this blog. I will be back - SOON! And yes, I am watching Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
