I watched Akira as a kid because my parents thought it was a cartoon for kids. It wasn't. It was gross from what I remember. Lots of blood and a big stuff made of flesh ? I don't remember exactly.
I almost fell asleep when my friends forced me to watch Ghost in the shell. I had to live with that secret for years.

That's a really dark secret and I'm not sure you should have told that some random internet peeps....

Many parents made that mistake :D

Back ages ago I talked about being a kid and watching late night TV- a lot of anime was shown then and Akira was one.

Before that off and on we'd get the odd gem pop up- I have very fond memories of seeing a rare early dub of Laputa: Castle in the Sky on network TV and wishing it would never end it was so good.
 

Just

Just
Random "my life is making me feel like a puppet" moment.

My kid and wife were watching football in the other room.'
Poland is playing against Spain.

I don't watch the match with them, because it (censored) "urinates" me off when I start caring too much about bunch of guys kicking a piece of cloth,
like my life and honor depended on this.
And because we usually lose.
(do not forget to add me some nerd points for this)

Suddenly I have a thought "maybe you should go to them" and urge to stand.
So I do, and in a few seconds, in the moment I enter the living room, Poland shoots their first goal in match.
After 53 minutes of play time.

My brain is starting to calculate the odds,
I feel a bit disgusted about how this was... exaggerated and leaves not much space to "just an accident".
Like the reality was shouting "RANDOMIZE THAT, YOU MORON" to me.

Yeah, it could be just an accident, and for now I will assume it was (to dare life to show me I am wrong again and again and again...)

And there are always some triggers (though, impulses) in my mind that are preceding such moments.

And this is more or less why I can't treat reality as something serious anymore.
I mean, I am but a toy, so why should I even care?

I had to sneak into the living room and make sure volume was down to watch that kind of late movies.

edit: obviously, this will be lost on non latin language speakers. For those who get it, go visit the Putas system, faction names are an absolute riot. My favourite Anarchy system, pants down.

Disney dropped the L word in latin countries for that reason, Jonathan Swifts original novel used it because he was savaging his social class :D
