I'm not like the others.............
After finishing my reading this morning, but still in bed, I glanced over at my bookcase, fixating my gaze on all the manga I have. Then I looked at the anime I've yet to watch in the DVD storage unit, next to it. I thought, How does a grown man of 40 end up sharing an interest with other people, who for the most part, are less than half his age. I've been to JAFAX a couple of times and I always notice that I'm surrounded by people young enough to my kids, but yet we share a common interest. This fact really hammers home the fact that I'm very different from the rest of you. And then there's all the figures I have as well. Those defy explanation the most. I take some measure of pride in my collection, but at the same time, I know full well if a woman was ever to see them, there would be no chance of a second date....I'm unable to explain how any of this came to be. Hell, I've been in to anime for only four years now! It's not like I've been doing this since I was kid. It snuck up on me one day and clubbed me over the head. My love for anime has grown to the point that it's all I watch anymore, save for "Heroes". It's hard enough to find someone I'd like to share the remainder of my life with, but this interest of mine will always the deal killer. Somewhere there has to be a woman who doesn't see this as a negative, There just has to be....
