JUSTANOTHERANIMEMAN_IS_ME

as if the internet needed just ANOTHER anime man to exist. hello! i go by _GOJO, and this is my little piece of the internet.
in short, i'm a virtual reality enthusiast and non-professional musician, artist, whatever name that you think fits within the area of "guy who really likes doing creative stuff in any capacity whatsoever" and just assign it to me. i like trying new things even when they initially piss me off. i'm a slow learner, but i learn. there's a lot of things that i believe, there's a lot of things i want to say, and there are times where i probably shouldn't say those things (smiles). this site is sort of an outlet for that, and where you'll see me archive, catalogue, and detail the happenings of my life. lots of things are happening in my personal life that i believe need to be put down somewhere in some shape, way, or form. all i can personally hope is that as time goes on, i will see an exponential curve of improvement in some regard. as my friend fray says, wait and hope...

things i like:
⋆ a big bowl of pho ga
⋆ mangoes, lychee, rambutan, and practically every kind of melon that exists on this earth
⋆ women who could kill me and men that whimper
⋆ pastel colors, specifically pinks, purples, blues - though blue is my all time favorite color number 1 top
⋆ my husband geto suguru
⋆ TECHNO - DETROIT MUSIC - GROOVE!!!

things i dislike
🠻 unncessary gore in films
🠻 bittermelon, as it might be the worst vegetable ever
🠻 boring, passive people
🠻 SEEING NOBODY ON THE DANCEFLOOR
🠻 the entire existence of the friends series
🠻 nuts in muffins that aren't banana nut muffins

why my name is _GOJO.

My name comes from a series by Gege Akutami called Jujutsu Kaisen - which features a world where demons walk amongst us and are actively hunted by jujutsu sorcerers - from a character named Gojo Satoru. Gojo is the cocky, in-your-face, overconfident yet powerful teacher of the main character Yuuji and his classmates Megumi and Nobara. This character and series was introduced to me thru a friend of mine years ago during a convention, as they were cosplaying as Gojo that weekend. Shortly after that convention in 2022, I began reading Jujutsu Kaisen.

To put it simply, Gojo was (and still is) my comfort character and a kind of guide for me during the year in which I found out I was trans, and in the following years of coming to terms with that discovery. In some ways, adopting reflections of Gojo the character into me - _GOJO the personfelt right. I strongly align with Gojo's sense of protecting the ideals of youth and his deep desire to push those around him to meet him as his level. Gojo has a severe distate for the superiors of his world, a sentiment that stems from terribly traumatic events that happened when he was a teen going to Tokyo Jujutsu High.

When I say that I am Gojo, I also mean that I am in some ways just like the fictional character. Gojo Satoru as a character is very much different than me, but I am similar to Gojo Satoru if that makes sense. I am his arrogance, I am his disdain, I am his relentlessness, I am his hunger to be the strongest, I am his drive to be the strongest and thru Gojo I became the strongest. Understanding Gojo as a being and applying that to how I wish to conduct myself in the world as a man is why I resonate with this name. On some level, I even headcanon Gojo as a trans man just like myself.

so jaam is...

...is me. jaam literally does mean 'just another anime man', but it can also mean many other things that i also identify with, making it a versatile name. it could mean 'just asian american, man' or 'just an asian man' or even 'jubilant agro asian mason' and i am happy with all three. it is also the acronym that i plan to hide behind when i share music, which you can view at your own pleasure by clicking on the bandcamp icon on the left. i do not fully expect people to connect the names _GOJO and jaam and justanotheranimeman or other variants together, but i also did kind of want it to be obvious.

Being in Virtual Reality is one of the main ways I spend my free-time.

Usually when I am in virtual reality, I am in VRChat - a social platform based in virtual reality that can be reached thru various means. As of 2025, you can now access VRChat on VR headsets, desktop, and mobile phones. When I get into VRChat, I am getting on with my Quest 2 thru Virtual Desktop. Typically, I am hosting casual hangouts and world hops with my friends in a group called THE HOUGHMEIGHS, otherwise I am at music venues listening to friends and DJs that I respect or awaiting my time to DJ myself.

I try to host hops or hangouts weekly. My VRChat name is _GOJO. Whenever I am on green status, anyone is free to join on me and hangout.

While nowadays I am at music venues more often than I am worldhopping, worldhopping still is one of my favorite things to do in VRChat. Worldhopping is the act of going from world to world in VRChat, "hopping" from one world to the next either by yourself or with a group of people. It is assumed by many people in the spaces I'm in that worldhopping is something that also involves photography. At least in the groups I'm in, when we worldhop, everyone's taking shots in various places and speaking to each other about what part of the world looks cool in what angle or this or that lighting. There are even various groups in VRChat who's main focus is to worldhop. For our group, it definitely isn't a main focus for everybody but people are always engaged in seeing the worlds and pointing out things - it makes for a great bonding activity.

However, worldhopping is not for everyone. For the times that my friends and I want to slow down, there are worlds that are perfect for that. My friend hails' world ephemera is literally one of the best places to lay down in as it's hills of grass and flowers. The world also doubles as a venue for music events, as a screen and DJ decks are present in the world. I favor worlds like these to hangout in, so I find for vibes similar to that world or apathy's Quiet Breath or their Rain of You. In groups less than 10 people, it makes for an intimate, familiar, and a little bit of a quieter atmosphere. It's these hangouts that you'll usually find me in when I am online.

spiel.
it would be easy to sit here and write about how i want to be this positive impact, this arbiter for immense change in these tumultuous times but i am just as bitter, just as tired, just as fatigued with the world and the state that it's in as anybody else. more often than not do i find myself re-counting memories, then i wonder if i was really happy in that moment at all. i remind myself that i am my worst enemy, my own demise. and so, despite the terror and the fear, i write about my days, i write about the people that keep me together, i write about times that are worth remembering because honestly that's what i need.

the COVID-19 pandemic really impacted us as a society a lot. i see, both in myself and others, that we are less likely to reach out, we're more isolated than we used to be, the idea of working and talking with others terrifies us more than it comforts us. in return, those at the top take and take and take - using our complicity to their advantage. our complicity to stay detached from each other, our complicity to remain silent, silent in the face of genocides, in the face of corporate slavery, in the face of children being denied a life and a future, in the face of people from every corner of this earth suffering and suffering and suffering. while i am able to find reasons to smile every day, to hold my loved ones close, to be privileged enough to breathe fresh air and drink fresh water - the suffering stays present deep in my mind and soul. to be ignorant of this is to be complicit, and to be complicit is to be part of the system that further oppresses those who society says are minorities.

everywhere we look there is suffering. to take light of other people's experiences and to say "don't think about it" or "it'll be better tomorrow" easily means that you are shallow and apathetic to understanding or at least attempting to understand those around you. i am against the ego checks, i'm against the ignorance, i'm against the denial. now "protecting your peace" means to close your eyes when your neighbors struggle, or turn the other way when someone gets wrongfully harassed. these passive actions are what separates us. with no desire to build, to cultivate, to protect communities, will any of us have a chance?

"i have no desire to compete, i want all of us to make it."
"hoping for the best also means knowing it can still get worse."
"i'm not being stupid or naive. this is how i fight."

phrases like these are part of my inner mantra. weaponized helplessness is a disease that is wild and festering deep into the inner workings of our society. the usage of phrases like "i can't" or "does it matter?" being so widespread allows us to hide behind our flimsy shield of propriety, of doing what's supposedly right or in line with what everyone else is doing. don't call me the weird one, what about the other guy? constant othering, constant hiding, constant and ever present cowardice.
