Good readers, gather 'round. It's time again to meet the Angry Reader of the Week, spotlighting you, the very special readers of this website. Over the years, I've been able to connect with a lot of cool folks, and this is a way of showing some appreciation and attention to the people who help make this blog what it is. This week's Angry Reader is Aaron Takahashi.

What are you?
A proud Japanese American (4th generation on my dad’s side, 3rd generation on my mom’s), Gemini, Boar, actor, improviser, teacher, listener, underdog, everyman, giver of amazing hugs... but you probably know me as that guy from that thing.
Where are you?
In my newly renovated 3-bedroom 2-bathroom 1923 American Craftsman style home. That I just bought. With my own money. And help from the bank.
Where are you from?
Born in Gardena, CA. Raised in Torrance, CA. I lived in two cities without having to move. Impossible, you say? Well, I say that redistricting caused the city lines be reconfigured.
What do you do?
I make people laugh. Then I eat tacos. Then I make people laugh while I’m eating tacos. Then I make people laugh while THEY are eating tacos. Then I make people who laugh at tacos. Then I laugh at taco people. Then the people eat while I laugh at tacos. Then I laugh while the tacos eat people. Tacos eating people??? Silly tacos. Wait... what was the question?
What are you all about?
Being the best version of myself. Doing what’s right. Not making excuses. Not sweating the small stuff. Addressing and taking care problems, issues, fears and all the other things that I can that are within my power, and not obsessing about the things that I cannot.
What makes you angry?
Racism. Sexism. Ageism. Bigotry. Stereotypes. People who don’t listen. Paying for parking. Bad customer service. Terrible food. Guys who use public restrooms and then walk out WITHOUT WASHING THEIR HANDS. Are you serious, bro??? I’m pretty sure you just touched your penis back there.
