About me:
I'm Estuar, my life revolves around many ideals and passions. I have very firm views on what is right with the world and what is wrong. I am an advocate of far leftist politics, and I am a far left Socialist/Communist (Maoist). As for music I like J-pop, eurobeat, trance, J-rock, techno, para para, oshare kei, visual kei, dance, K-pop, ambient, club, happy hardcore, reggae, electro pop, synth pop, new wave, gamewave, electro, swedish pop, eurodance, glam metal ("hair metal"), and pop (mostly foreign). My absolute favorite band is Access (AXS). I am a huge fan of japanese animation. I'm definitely a huge otaku and japanophile. My absolute favorite anime is Kanon (both the original and the remake). I frequently play video games, mostly fighting games, visual novels (bishojo games), and RPGs. My favorite video games are Kanon, Rival Schools 2: Project Justice, Rival Schools: United By Fate, King of Fighters 2006, and Hourglass of Summer. I don't and will not do drugs for many reasons. One of the best decisions I've ever made was to stop going to school entirely. I dislike anyone on a power trip and anyone with a big ego. I hate all trends. I love korean food. I'm an outdoorsman. I'm a hopeless romantic. I don't like beer/cigarettes/drugs, or any other pointless thing that poisons the body. I really like import cars & import motorcycles. I collect militaria. I love to talk about my views on philosophy, politics, and the way I live my life and feel about things. I will not go against my views, morals, and ideals. I'm very "Anti-Social" so to speak, I don't like most people I meet for any number of various reasons. I have almost nothing in common with most people I meet. I'm looking for people to hang out with in the area so if you're interested add me. Also, if you are just some jabroni who is going to send me messages with insults or negative remarks, you will not be replied to and you will be completely ignored, there is hardly anything I hate more than childish drama, fighting, and pointless arguments/conflicts. so don't waste your time because I have no intention of arguing or fighting with anyone.
Of course this isn't all there is to say about me, so if you'd like to know more, read the "About Me" blog. I still really need to get around to updating, redoing, and rearranging my profile, I'll get on it soon.
Who I'd like to meet:
Idealists, Individualists, Subversives, People into contemporary or traditional japanese culture, Otaku, J-rockers, J-pop fans, Street racers, People with similar interests in music, Cosplayers, People who live in Japan or Korea, People who aren't in any ridiculous "scenes" or cliques, People who don't follow trends, People who aren't brainwashed, People who aren't puppets, People who know and express who they really are, People who unwaveringly follow their own paths, People who think for themselves, People who aren't mindless and controlled, People who aren't slaves to modern technology and fashion, People who are truly independent, People who are truly mature, People who aren't lowbrow and/or philistine, People who aren't druggies or stoners, People who don't do any addictive and/or otherwise negatively affecting substances, People who don't pay attention to immature nonsense, People with cultivated and intellectual interests and tastes, People with ideals and honor, People who never give up and never surrender, People who aren't steriotypical, People who don't stand down and follow every order given to them by "authority" figures, People who follow their own life goals instead of the ones pushed on them by others, People who really think about and understand what they say they believe in, People who will look at and study both sides of something before forming an opinion on it, People who will think twice before making a decision, People who are open minded, People who don't believe that every single thing they say is 100% right, People who don't have big egos or bad attitudes, People who are REAL, rebels, Socialists, Communists, Marxists, Maoists, Trotskyists, Syndicalists, Political activists, Agnostics, Atheists, Rational thinkers, People who don't believe in the supernatural or any kind of metaphysics, Harajuku kids, Fans of Daisuke Asakura produced bands/artists, Fans of the same anime I like, Fans of the Universal Century Gundam series, Daisuke Asakura, Naoki Hisaya, Jun Maeda, Itaru Hinoue, Hiroyuki Takami, Kenichi Ito, Kotani Kinya, Michihiro Kuroda, Koji Kikkawa.

Josh's birthday is in a few days on February 9th. Kim Jong-il's birthday is on February 16th. Josh will be in town I think next weekend so we should have a dual birthday party for the two.
"Also an apparent golfer, North Korean state media reports that Kim routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round (The odds of making a single hole-in-one in one round are around 1 in 5000)."
