Anime, Cosplay & Hot Chicks!

I have to say that Japanese Anime has always impressed me with the storytelling. There is no end to how much you can tell with animation & voice-over actors.

Tonight, I meet an extremely well educated young lady who is very much into anything Japanese. How do I know this? Well, it's simple...that is all she talked about for an hour.

There is nothing wrong with being obsessed with a different culture or society. So long as two rules stay in the back of your head: 1. Always remember where you come from! 2. Always keep an open mind on not only the culture you are obsessed with, but also guard yourself from any misdirection.

This world has become alot smaller. Why? Because of the Internet. Technology that was only dreamed about 40 years ago is now a reality. This is a good thing! So long as mankind gains the wisdom to use the technology to benefit all around the world.

As I sat and listened to her on all that she has learned, I began to realize that I knew nothing at all. It seems, this young lady & I have something in common, we both love the Japanese culture...however, we are foreigners & probably not very well liked in any part of the world. We are, after all, Amercians.

She spoke of Anime, Gaming, and Cosplay...oddly enough, she spoke of all these topics with a serious passion. Does anyone remember when they had a passion for anything? Such a passion is to be applauded & not ridiculed. How can a passion be a bad thing? Well, when it starts to hurt other people.

Her fire & conviction over these topics surprised me...After all, it's not very often you find a hot chick that likes to "Geek Out" on anything even remotely like Japanese Anime. Most women are concerned with their looks & spend alot of time with the bathroom mirror than anything else. There is nothing wrong with women like that, but you have to be a very certain kind of man to accept any type of woman. Can any man go up to any woman & woo her? No. Not all women are attracted to the same things & despite all of the adds, there is no magicial way to "get the chick" to do whatever you want, whenever you want...Just doesn't happen. Scratch that, yes it does happen but only with the type of women you wouldn't take home to anyone! LOL

In the end, I liked her! She has life, a passion for something. I often wonder what makes people so different & at the same time...all the same.

Also, I was shocked to find out that she loved the game...(drum roll) Fatal Frame! OMG! I wonder if she is single? LOL
