edit data

I am a lifelong avid reader with a passionate love for a good story, be it fiction on nonfiction. As a kid, I loved genre movies-westerns, gangsters, horror-because the story was king with those kind of flicks, same with comic books, another life long passion. After years of reading, I decided to try my hand at writing the kind of fiction I enjoyed and learned there is no greater satisfaction than to labor on something you love and then discover others find pleasure in it as well.

Great Teacher Onizuka: one of the best anime ever.

GTO Great Teacher Onizuka, Vol. 2 by Tōru Fujisawa

I first got into G.T.O (GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA) way more than a decade ago when I got my hands on a couple of DVDs of the first episodes. The series had a reputation as one of the better anime, and those early episodes really drew me into the story and got me invested in the characters and their situations, but I didn’t follow up and finish the series until I came across it streaming free on Pr Read more of this blog post »
