Hello and welcome to Keba's Anime and Manga Place (KAAMP for short)! Here at KAAMP, I write about anime and manga that I have seen/read as well as my views on them. I'll also post about my original stories from time to time.

Just beware that some of my posts contain spoilers. I'll put them in spoiler tags just in case.

KAAMP's history: KAAMP was created in July 2002 by yours truly. It was a sloppy-looking website on Yahoo's now defunct Geocities. I posted my anime fan art on that site. Also, for a time, I posted my thoughts on the few anime series that I had seen. Now that I look back on it, my thoughts were rather ill-informed (is that even a word?) because I had only seen bits and pieces of anime dubs. Now that I've seen more series, I think that my commentary on various anime will be a little better than before.

So, come on in and stay awhile! KAAMP is now in session.

Motivation Issues [Leftover Post from Rock Star Diary]

Anybody know how to give oneself motivation? I find that I'm struggling with that, especially with guitar practice. I have a "gig" (I use the term loosely) coming up on Saturday, and I haven't practiced once this week. I just don't feel like it, and I don't know why.

The worst part about this is that I'm beating myself up over not practicing. That, in turn, makes me want to practice even less. I know it makes no sense. I do know that I've practiced less in a year than some people practice in a week. I shouldn't compare myself to others, but I subconsciously do it anyway.

So, does anyone have any tips on self-motivation and self-improvement? It doesn't have to relate to guitar practice; it could be self-motivation for anything. I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks.
