A thought:

I agree for the most part with the article, The grass is always greener on the other side, i wonder if there are people who are otaku in japan about american cartoons like the simpsons and family guy..

No, just teens.

1) I'm not an American
2) I think once you get to college and actually try to make something of yourself, the time sort of gets tight.

Personally, I like drawing, and editing has so far been good to me. Plus, I pretty well get Japanese, so you can't say anime is purely visual to me, either.

But, I guess that is a valid view.

In general though, I think of myself as an exception, since most of my ideas focus around visualising music rather than, as John said, condensing and enchancing anime. Which reminds me - I should probably go make some AMV's...

I think you're exception, because your sig banner is the only one that truly frightens me
