Little things

Whenever i post something serious on here it never tends to be too happy. This isnt because im a super sad person, if you know me, you know that. It just feels good to write about stuff that bothers me, to empty my head out now and then. This blog happens to be where i usually do that, as im not really the type of guy to pour my heart out in person. That would just make me annoying. Point being, this time whats in my head isnt the flaws of life, but the opposite. I was just thinking of how great the "little things" are.

I know thats no revelation to anyone, but its so true. I dont know what i would do without my little obsessions. I call them obsessions because thats pretty much what they are to me. I am an obsessive person, not in the sense that im overbearing (i hope) and crazy, but when i get into something, i REALLY get into it. Whether it be a song or band i find, an anime, a movie, a game, or anything like that... there are some that you cant get me to shut up about. If you get me around a fellow manga/anime person, i could just babble on forever about it, because i LOVE it. It sounds so trivial, but its really not. Its all i have, the things that make me tick. The things that define me, that transform me.

I may hear a lyric in a song or poem, and change my very character to fit some amazing idea it had. I may just one day see Kanye West and think "i like how he dresses," then go out and spend $250 on crazy clothes nobody else would wear. I may play Eternal Sonata, and decide im going to start listening to classical music. I may watch episode 14 of Samurai Champloo, and then watch it 10 more times in the same sitting.

For some reason these are the things that make me excited about life. These are the things i cant wait for.

I guess when i say "little things" it can mean a couple things. Most people think of experiences they have with people or something. I wasnt really talking about that, though those are great too. Im talking about the stuff we talk with our friends about. The subject matter of our conversations. The things that link us together.

For such a dark place as this, there sure are a bunch of cool things here.
