Anime-nia

Corny title, I know but everything else takes  backseat when it comes to talking about my "nerdiest" obsession of all time which is anime. There isn't much difference between anime and  cartoons. But have you seen the detail and the graphics on anime? Granted most girls are big busted, with thin waists and curves for days but it has awesome graphics. Anyway my all-time favourites would have to be bleach and devil may cry.

I happened upon my obsession by chance some years ago with my first experience being Basilisk Koga Ninpo Cho, from that point i was hooked.

Anime has been an important part in my life, even my love for horror movies does not compare, although cartoons were my starting point, anime has touched my very soul. Anime has allowed me to go to that awesome place where my mind can be free and i can escape to life within the glorious anime. I really enjoy watching anime, i can lock myself in and watch all seasons, all episodes all day and all night( i wish) and get so engrossed in it that the world outside ceases to exist for me.

Anyway I'm still on the lookout for new anime to watch and enjoy. I need to feed my addiction

Ramblings of an idle mind

Today i found myself wondering if I was happy and if i was living or merely existing, if i was happy or content with the way my life was at this point. What is living? Is it going through the day finding an adventure in everyday, something new and fascinating, living an inspiring life, living your dream perhaps.

I think I'm simply existing, waking up to each day and going through the motions and just ending each day with a silent prayer of thanks for another day. This however doesn't mean that I don't get to appreciate the wonders of live, its complexities and priceless joys. Existing is not necessarily a bad thing though.

This means I can look back on my days with a smile and be happy about how each day turned out as I faced a new challenge or dealt with something new, I am grateful for days like this where I have friends and family who make me smile, laugh or even annoy me sometimes. I am grateful that I am able to enjoy the warm sunshine and walk barefoot in the rain.

I believe that I am content because no matter how my day ends there is always something that happened during my day that made me smile and thats what happiness is to me, to be able to smile or laugh genuinely and infect those around me with laughter.

Peace, love and happiness

Drum Beat Dreamz

How cool is this drum kit? The skulls just seem to make it so "rockstarry".

I have always wanted to own a set of drums, for some odd reason I have a fantasy of starting my own band called "The Bandits". It's all well and good but, I don't even know how to play. It seems like a cool thing to try, something new to embark upon.

I am sort of on a quest to conquer fears and do what I have always wanted to do with no regrets. Honestly some of these things are easier said than done. Easy to get excited about and yet when faced with the mammoth task of actually having to do it, you get weak in the knees and break out in a cold sweat. Learning how to play the drums though is one of the things I'm actually looking forward to doing. Still trying to find a place where I can get lessons but I'm pretty excited.

I can actually see myself playing a drum solo on these, tongue peeping out the corner in concentration. Ha ha well who knows right.

Anyway enough ramblings

Peace, love and happiness

NEWNESS

Well this is a spanking brand new project I have decided to embark upon. Strangely it has always been in my mind but, I have always been more than a little self-conscious about doing something of the sort. Basically this is "crash course" of sorts on what to expect from this blog. Common Intricacies is an exploration of my life, things i like, don't like and mostly things I find interesting. I'll delve into a little bit of everything from art to music, to food and whatever else crops up in this day to day rat race we call life. 

My dry sense of humor will definitely rear it's head so hope that brings a chuckle out of you. It won't always be rainbows and sunshine but hey life never really isn't either right?

Well here's to my first official post,so excited and looking forward to many more.

Peace, love and happiness
