Ugh

Hmm.

I was reading the Straits Times today when I just got reminded of a certain issue which causes the hairs on my arm to stick up like when it's cold.

I hold a certain disdain for Anime.

I remember anime is one the the culprits (besides procrastination) for my classmates being unable to concentrate in class during our o-level year. I mean, what's up with these sometimes x-rated cartoons?

I like reading stuff like Garfield, 5th Wave, Get Fuzzy etc, but all that cutesy stuff really gets me all uncomfortable, and sometimes exceptionally irritated when people just discuss that crap in that kind of excited voice. Like dogs being given a chance to be taken for a walk by their owners.

Maybe I'm just narrow-minded but I seriously think all those comics/manga/anime/crap aren't worth half a rotten dick for my attention. I suppose my thinking towards anime is very similar in the way I look towards pop music nowadays. In actual fact most music nowadays.

I also don't get why some of the more 'incredible' individuals who are fans of anime try to make themselves look like their favourite characters by dyeing their hair, dressing up etc.

What a waste of their fookin' time!

I remember my cloase friend in secondary school was so wasted on them comics he would spend even his lesson time just locked into his inner world of samurai fighting and god-knows-what. In the end, of course, his academic results weren't that fabulous (neither was mine, but whatever). Another thing which got his time-management all awry was the fact he loved to break-dance... which caused him to be stronger physically, but somehow lesser-off mentally. Anyhow, that's yesterday's news.

I do believe that it's important to have a source of fun where your imagination can just go wacko, but somehow, the amount of time spent on that should be much lesser than how long we spend time in our real world.

Maybe I'm just terribly biased against anything that seems to prevail in modern day pop culture.
