About Jerry Chen
What’s up ziggytek, I’m Jerry Chen, the new blogger from San Francisco. I’m big on anime and games and basketball and jpop, most to an obsessive degree. I think last night I had a dream where I was just chillin at the neighborhood shouten, then some girl cradling a bag of taiyaki ran into me then dragged me into some restau… wait… never mind. I tell ya, too much anime and you start wishing those anime eye contacts would come standard with every girl~
Anyways...I used to do some anime blogging in the past, and I’m looking to continue that on ziggytek. In addition, I hope to cover some of the local SF Bay Area events (gives me an excuse to leave my dark, muted room, solely illuminated by the warm glow of my lcd monitor) and any other spunky topics I come across, focusing more on sports, girly Japanese music (my guilty pleasure), and that dude from a galaxy far, far away that keeps popping up on the streets of Akihabara. My main goal as a writer is not just to tell you about what happened and what I think, but to make you feel what I feel - of course, that could completely backfire and you’ll just think I’m crazy or emo or an otaku social deviant, but hey, maybe it was at least entertaining enough to mention to your friends, classmates, pet, webkare, etc.
I look forward to being a part of the ziggytek community! 大家好， よろしくお願いします!
