The feeling is almost unbearable right now. I just randomly went back through every blog I ever created on this account. It really brought back memories, great, forgotten memories. It was interesting watching my horrible spelling habits progress into what they are now. It was enjoyable experiencing the Kim Possible era from my lost perspective. It was amusing watching my odd enthusiasm of a younger age. But it was also saddening, very saddening. My blog posts serve as a mere ghost of the past, a past that has been long abandoned by all but the fewest of us. This website has progressed so far, too far for most of us to keep a grasp on our illustrious past on this once-great website. We had so many antics, ones that seem downright foolish from a detached perspective. While the days of yesteryear will likely be forgotten by the vast majority of my old friends on here, the greatness that we had in those few years will forever be carried with me on my life's journey. Quite a remarkable realization, and all thanks to a sleepless mind on a cold, rainy night.

Merry Christmas to all.

I just re-watched the anime movie 5 cm Per Second, which is a beautiful work of fiction, at least if you ask me. It's, in very short terms, a movie about growing up and letting go of the past, and the sadness which may follow from not being able to do so. I don't know about you, but for me this is an important thing to have in mind. The reason is that I'm a particularly nostalgic person, and, well, I often wish things haven't changed, no matter how good they actually are now. Heck, I even get that feeling when watching longer anime series, or at the end of one; I just miss the way things were before, if you know. Of course, there is the matter of re-watching, but it's just a temporary escape.

Anyway, this closeness I have with the theme of the movie; this identifying with the main character is what has made this movie something very special for me; not as an anime or movie fan, but as a human.

As a treat for you, the movie's ending song; One more time, One more chance (is an actual music video and doesn't contain clips from the movie)
