Actually, according to Old Spice the end of the world has only been delayed about 15 months

No, fifteen months until Dikembe Mutombo has to save the world again. :P

Just separating myself more from internet forums. Got addicted and too attached for years. So now post on places like this much less frequent. Take a few days off come back and sometimes take a week or more off. Maybe will take a few months off. Also been planning for the inevitable. However I welcome it. I been saying for a long while I'm very at peace with it as long as I'm happy and I am. So I'm ready at any time. In the mean time just enjoying the small things. Trying to not let other small things upset me. Not enough time for that. I fixed as many bridges as i can my dad burned with the family and that was a life mission I accomplished. We all burn a few bridges in life but I only have tried to fix the ones for those who are willing to accept. I done all I can and feel great about it.

I went for a walk with my wife for the first time around the new place. A new year. I have a couple of enthusiastic music students, and I also am in the process of writing an opera.

Where are all the sentinels of racism? Do you think Japanese whiteface is okay because they ought to want to be white or at least absorb elements therefrom?

Regardless, I was so very pleased with the result, that I have informed Ahura Mazda of my decision to vote in favor of the amalgamation of said races. Of course, only Zvran Akarana knows when this great instauration will come.

Pale skin was valued in Japan even before Perry came in and turned the place upside down. It doesn't have anything to do with Europeans aka "white people" and its a bit arrogant for white people to assume everyone wants to be like them. Even though it often is true tee hee.

Also Rita Ora is very cute. Especially considering what I usually picture for Eastern European women.

I hope I wasn't just the victim of a Kiba troll post

but with "white" America dominating world entertainment industry since decades now isn't it normal that a lot of people want to be like these movie and series stars they see constantly glamourised

Oh definitely. What I was getting at was more the instances when that concept it overestimated. i.e. Japanese value pale skin so it must be due to "us". Sometimes not all roads lead to Tom Cruise lol

their anime characters still look like Scandinavians on speed though with their wide eyes, tall slim bodies and pale skin

I read a good article on that somewhere. The guy who created the modern style copied in all Japanese animation now(he created the Astroboy cartoon) was just a big fan of Disney and trying to make his characters look like humanoid versions of Scrooge McDuck. The giant cutesy eyes being the most immediately noticeable trademark that still remains.
