it's true, some things just get better with age.!  especially when you're old enough to appreciate the things you enjoyed when you were young in a much broader way.

ha ha...  and would you believe i thought about this subject watching an anime.?  well, it wasn't until the finale started to reference things from it's first run (Gunbuster 1), that it produced a great feeling of nostalgia in me which made me cry.

i don't think i can describe the feeling.  you would only have to had experience it yourself by watching Gunbuster 1 and then watching Gunbuster 2 10 years later... HA HA ha...  it's comparable to the STAR WARs effect, or appreciating the taste of good aged wine.

anyway, thank you GAINEX for producing such a fine series to celebrate 20 years of making anime.  the art was EPIC, the action could only be IMAGINED, and the story - .... well - GOD - the music at the end, watching heroes return from a long journey --- i'll never forget it.^^;

...  how geek do i sound.?   HA Hahaha....  well, i would only be this way for a good production like Gunbuster.^^  that, and Macross.!

interested in learning more about Gunbuster.?  here's a link on the series:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

consequently, the title does not refer to my birthday; though i haven't celebrated one in a decade.  >.<;  no, the title refers to a movie you should be watching.^^

... morale learned in said flick.  "love won't always be waiting".

though i know love doesn't always wait; and i hate keeping it waiting as much as anyone, i want to think that being with someone for the rest of your life means that you have to trenscend above loving them.

to be honest, it sounds so hard because there's so many trust issues involved.  but i think it's easier if you just let things be without expecting much.  which means: it's just better to be "close" friends until time/fate allows for you to have something more then love....... like complete "trust".  after all, what's there left to any relationship without "trust".?

Chung is really quiet and easy to be with.  here's us at a Temple.^^
