Shikamaru Nara (Naruto) - I tend to be laid back and easy going, but also ever calculating. Eikichi Onizuka (Great Teacher Onizuka) - I relate most him in the fact that he tends to see good in people but not only that he can see through all the bullshit and still want to be a friend. Not to mention he is playfully Pervert and like making people laugh and feel welcomed. Ryu Sasakura (Bartender/ Manga)- I most relate to him in the aspect he tends to be very professional and driven when it comes to his career as a bartender and I try to do the same when I am drawing and will continue to if I manage to get published.

Has anyone ever heard of Lucid Dreaming? It is like controlling your dream aspects and being fully aware you are in a dream. Often times the dream is very much vivid and you can really do just about anything if you "believe" you can. Doubt usually results in the opposite of what you want, such as flying and able to barely flutter into the sky. Recently i learned to lucid dream in an anime world and it's truly a wonder ^^ Feeling free and light in the anime atmosphere and meeting new and well known anime characters feels like a wish granted. A dream journal helps to remember the dreams in fuller detail and you can look back on them. So is anyone interested or has already tried to exist in the anime realm during your slumber? It is truly mysterious how powerful the mind can be!

Allow me to open with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzKUzRJUzQ0 Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell. Now without trying to start a war here, lets see if I can shed some insight. I am not sure which religion you are a follower of, so I am not sure how to best go about this. But I was raised Mormon. I am no longer active. I can't seem to find a religion I like, somewhat due to the concept of god and us HAVING to worship him, just not making sense. I questioned religion and it broke it for me. So now about your friend. It has been said that a lot more people will go to heaven than most think. (Heaven and hell don't make much sense to me either, I questioned it and it broke.) But I have found that no matter what, at the end of the day, if you were a good person, if you were truly a good person, then what does it matter. Just because you worshiped something then went out and did as you pleased, makes no sense to me that you should be going to heaven. But if you were out being Christ-like, then who could deny that you are someone who should be one to go to heaven? Just because you don't believe in god, doesn't make him exist nor not exist. In my experience with religion I have found it a guiding tool for people to live better lives. It doesn't like free thinkers, and embraces those that just follow along. Yet with all the following along, people forget that they should be good people. I see it much like Gandhi did. Much bloodshed has come from religion. Now I think that if you have found that religion is right for you in your life and that it makes you a better person, then keep on it. And if atheism makes them better people, then why take that away from them? I am a bit more aggressive and negative in my views of religion, but I know it is a great source of good for many people. Jas, you say things in a much nicer way, I should really work on that. There was a post a while back asking about peoples religious beliefs, it was very interesting to read and I pretty much explained my view points there. I am open to try to keep explaining what I think to you, and trying to help you with a different way to think about it, but as far as your friends are concerned, do not try and force them. I would try to understand their side and see how they see things first before just saying they are wrong. I personally want to make sure I make the best decision I can, so I will weigh both sides, then see what I think about it. No one wants to be wrong, so telling them right out may just cause them to recoil from that and reject anything they will hear. I don't think anyone should be rejected for their beliefs, but instead, respected. I know I don't give you what you want to hear, but there really isn't a silver bullet to make people want religion out of the blue. And many people are strong enough to not need religion, some stick with it, others may stand apart. Yet when you find joy in it, they may not. How it is represented may change how they feel about it. Understanding how they feel about it will help you to understand how to go about it. I would like to keep going but I will leave it here. I don't know everything, and may very well be wrong. I am only human. I look forward to hearing how it works out for you! I am a little tired from work so sorry if I didn't make much sense.

Thank you. What do you want to know? Just ask. I might tell. Its currently a cage match between Five Finger Death Punch and Bullet For My Valentine. Thank you. ^^ And nice picture.

I want to move to Japan. If I move to Japan I would eventually become a citizen therefore making me japanese. So essentially I want to become japanese. (I'm unsure of how you meant 'become japanese')

Cowboy Bebop stands out as being very western, if it can be compared to anything it would be Firefly. There's a reason both shows are called "Space Westerns." Big O is also a very western show, often compared to Batman TAS. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is very western in both animation style and in it's constant stream of dick jokes, if you're into that sort of humor.
