I&#8217;m in my early twenties (or was) and shall be blogging about anything I find interesting in my life. I&#8217;m Canadian born and I can speak English and quite a bit of Slovak. I&#8217;m now trying to learn Japanese to open up more doors and opportunities. I&#8217;ve been introduced into Anime by Gundam Wing in 2000 and again by Fate\/Stay Night in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>I originally created my blog just to blog non-sense. It was just all for gibberish at first until I discovered dannychoo.com and started reviewing Figmas. Ah, those blasted Figmas! I&#8217;m gearing this site to review Figmas, Anime, Canadian\/Japanese games, Canada &#8211; Ottawa (and around), travel, photography related, and anything Japanese related. I shall occasionally add more personal things onto the blog every now and again. I&#8217;ll be trying to keep my blog in an equal Canadian and Japanese related rhythm &#8211; 1 Ottawa, 1 Anime, repeat and etc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>As of Spring 2009 I adopted a blog mascot &#8211; Arctic Fox. His name is Varakitsu and he is mainly a male fox. He represents a mixture of Canadian and Japanese interests while borrowing supernatural abilities from Japanese folklore. Currently, he represents Canadian winter (Arctic) and Japanese interest (Kitsune). He originally represented my Anime obsession of &#8220;<em>nekomimi<\/em>&#8221; (cat girls or girls with cat features) addiction as they were drawn all cute and brightly.<\/p>\n<p>All the images you see of the Fox&#8217;s around were drawn by Valdez from the Petroglyph community and would of spawned regardless of his intervention. He only hastened it ^^. I thank him for drawing my online persona in PF comics and in avatar form, thanks!<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, hope you enjoy my blog and if you want please do leave a comment. Its nice to meet you guys\/gals and hope to be on good terms with everybody, please be kind heh. If I say anything that may sound offensive then do let me know as I try to be a friendly and neutral as possible Canadian :). See ya and have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello world! This is my first blog article. My name is Tim and my blog mascot is Arctic Kitsune &#8211; Varakitsu.
