After posting the first weekly update, I was surprised that most of you guys managed to comment. Thanks for reading.
Nothing much happened, except a lot of Monster. At first, I felt like I would around any other solid show, but now I am hooked. The plot and sequencing of everything is masterfully done and I can't see it being pulled off in any other way. So if you haven't seen Monster yet, I'm begging you to see it. You will love it.
And as usual, I'm watching a lot of anime. I blame MyAnimeList.net for making me return. I got tons of recommendations off that site and I'm excited to watch them. I now have 200 something total entries and 110 shows on my completed list. My past self has resurfaced, but I can't let it fully take over.
I'm currently finishing Minami-ke, Ichigo 100%, and Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel). If you haven't seen Ichigo 100%, don't watch it because Hatsukoi Limited is what Ichigo 100% failed at achieving, in my opinion. I like Burst Angel, but I feel like Canaan is slightly better and a lot more memorable.
Now that I'm done with that, I'll talk about my Turkey Day. Every year, we always meet up with our cousins to celebrate the holidays. Christmas Day is usually the day everyone looks forward to the most, but Thanksgiving isn't too bad. Every year feels different, but this one felt just too different.
Let's just say that I've reached an age or point where I can't return. I did get along with my cousins, but now they're in that point where they're in high school. I feel like the time spent during high school for students is important because it's the most important time to shape their own identity, notice how they view themselves as, contemplate on their morality, and to accept more responsibility as a young adult.
I'm at that point where I'm comfortable with who I am because of all the experiences I had at that time and afterwards. Let's just say that I'm finding it increasingly hard to reach out to my younger cousins, who are growing so quickly. I'm unfamiliar with the lame trends of high school kids. It just feels strange because I used to be able to connect with them very easily, but now I'm older and they've moved onto other trends.
Growing old can be a scary thing sometimes, but there's nothing wrong with living as if you're younger.
