It's hard for me to say that I'm truly in despair about something as I'm a pretty fortunate guy. Life treats me fairly well. That's why I feel silly in listing out the things I'm in despair about. They're all trivial, geeky things.
But after reading the fantastic first volume of Del Ray's Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei manga, I feel kind of inspired to pick my world apart and talk about what's getting me down. Here's my terrible attempt.
I'm in despair because:
- half my tangerines are mushy and old
- Kurokami really isn't that good of a show
- Nabari No Ou is kind of boring, too
- my torrents are going too slow
- RPG stories are going downhill
- my corgi is shedding
See? They're stupid. I feel stupid for trying. I'm in despair for having such a despair-less life! I'm sure that there's someone out there that could do a much better job, so I'm going to let you tell Japanator what's getting you down.
