About Me

I might be described by my wife and son as a 55-year-old unapologetic otaku and obsessive collector. My love for anime started when I was young, around 1980, and lived in the Philippines, with shows like Voltez 5. I lived on Clark Air Force Base which was the only reason I was able to watch Japanese mecha/robot shows in the first place as these shows depicted rebellion and "excessive violence". At that time these types of shows were banned by martial law censorship directives in the Philippines under the Ferdinand Marcos regime. Because I lived on base, we had access to AFRTS (armed forces radio and television services) which was exempt from those martial law directives. That is where my anime roots were born and if it weren't for the AFRTS, I may have never known and grown to love anime.

Today as I eat my 100th salad in the past 9 months, karma reminds me again not to be a dick. Some time ago me and a friend of mine used to tease his girlfriend because she always complained about not being able to eat anything when we went out because of her Celiacs disease. We teased her that it was not a real thing and joked about going to the store and throwing bread crumbs and flour at people looking at the gluten free food. (I know, total dicks, right?). Yeah, well karma got me good. About 9 months ago I was diagnosed with, you guessed it, Celiacs disease. I don’t wish this crap on anyone. Going gluten free isn’t that easy. So many products have wheat in them or are processed in a factory that also processes products containing wheat. A gluten breakout is horrible. I honestly would rather have a kidney stone. At least you can get rid of that with a simple procedure. So, there’s my funny for the day. You can laugh or you can say I was a total dick and deserved what I got. Both would be acceptable.
