FINAL DISTANCE

Shino: It's FINAL DISTANCE by 宇多田ヒカル/Utada Hikaru on her DEEP RIVER album. LOVE this song. Music video rocks too. It goes so well with what the song is saying! Here's the music video:

FINAL DISTANCE

I love Utada Hikaru so I'll eventually put up some of her other songs too. Here's the lyrics in Japanese and translated. Some of you probably won't be able to see the Japanese lyrics though. :P

気になるのに聞けない
(I wonder but I can't ask you)
泳ぎつかれて君まで無口になる
(Tired of swimming, even you become silent)

会いたいのに見えない
(I want to meet but I can't see you)
波に押されてまた少し遠くなる
(Pushed by the waves, again we get a little further)

途切れないように　Keep it going, baby
(To keep it from tearing, keep it going baby)
同じ気持ちじゃないなら　tell me
(If you don't feel the same then, tell me)
無理はしない主義でも
(Even if I don't usually take risks)
少しならしてみてもいいよ
(If it's just a little then I guess I can try)

I wanna be with you now
二人でdistance縮めて
(The both of us shrink the distance)
今なら間に合うから
(We can still make it now)
We can start over
ひとつにはなれない
(We cannot become one)
I wanna be with you now
いつの日かdistanceも
(Some day)
抱きしめられるようになれるよ
(We'll be able to embrace the distance)
We can start sooner
やっぱり　I wanna be with you
(I knew it, I wanna be with you)

ひとことでこんなにも傷つく君は
(You who gets hurt this much from one word)
孤独を教えてくれる
(Taught me the meaning of loneliness)

守れない時　Keep on trying, baby
(When you can't protect it, keep on trying baby)
約束通りじゃないけど　trust me
(It isn't as I promised but, trust me)
無理はしない主義でも
(Even if I don't usually take risks)
君とならしてみてもいいよ
(If it's with you then I guess I can try)

I wanna be with you now
二人でdistance見つめて
(The both of us stare at the distance)
今なら間に合うから
(We can still make it now)
We can start over
言葉で伝えたい
(I want to tell you with words)
I wanna be with you now
そのうちにdistanceも
(One day)
抱きしめられるようになれるよ
(We'll be able to embrace the distance)
We should stay together
やっぱり　I wanna be with you
(I knew it, I wanna be with you)

Bleah...

Shino: Yeah, I feel like the title. Just, "bleah." I have SOME homework, but I haven't done any this whole weekend. Go me!

I've been getting into fanfiction.net again so I spend a few hours a day just reading. Yeah, call me nerdy, but I'm bored. I'm thinking of reading "Eragon" soon though cuz Levi keeps telling me it's good, and I'd like to read it before the movie comes out. I SHOULD also read "The da Vinci Code," but again, I'm too lazy. I really should maybe work on some art for deviantART too... (-.-)zzZZ

I still haven't finished Kingdom Hearts even though I pretty much know what's gonna happen. I'm a disgrace to all KH fans! So I tried playing it after like...almost 2 years, and I think I remember the controls now. Speaking of games, Guitar Hero II's coming out! w00t! Levi loves the game, so we'll probably buy it eventually. I should play DDR too...

Well, just thought I'd put up something since I don't even remember when was the last time I posted. Levi hardly posts, huh? Well this blog is mostly mine anyways. So is the deviantART. Oodles of toodles! (Noodles of poodles? Eeeww...)

I Like Art

Shino: I'm at the U right now. Have 2 hrs till my next class. This sucks! Well, just thought I'd put up this really cool art thing done by some Japanese dudes I think:

1 Week Art

Watch this guy's other stuff too! I think there's only like 3 or 4 more he did...

One man's garbage is another man's treasure

Shino: Was lookin' through some old pictures in my digital camera and found THIS!!! It's my Halloween costume from last year, a gangsta! I look pretty awesome, huh? But now I don't know what to do for THIS year. Maybe I'll just dress up as a Japanese school girl... My mom did that last year. Levi's thinking of being Pantsman from VG Cats. Get it!? Levi jeans? Now how can I NOT put up this Luffy sticker pic!? Yup, he's on my car! A few of the little bits might of fallen off now, but he's still awesome! I'm kinda embarassed by it, but not really cuz I love One Piece so much. \(^0^)/ It makes me so happy everytime I look in my rear view mirror. Oh yeah, BTW, this picture of Luffy is from book #24. Wow...to think One Piece has reacher over 40 books now. I'm so proud to be a fan! Too bad the American 4Kids dub is so horrible... *sniff* The last pic is of last night's moon. It was so bright, it hurt to look at it. Outside looked so bright! Like a mini-day!

Say hello to my little friends!

Shino: Thought I'd just do a quick explanation of our links to the right. "Shino's deviantART" is my deviantART page. Levi'll probably put some of his comics too though, but it's technically mine. My name's "melondream". I always use that name whenever I join something. :P

"Courtland's deviantART" is my friend Courtland's page. Remember Courtland in the last post? He did the Chalk the Walk with me. He's also my DDR/game buddy. His stuff is so cute and good! I hate him! Hahahahahaha!!

"e1n's blogspot"......(>.>) (<.<) ......Uuuh...Look at the title. I've been reading his blog every now and then for like the last year. He calls his blogspot "Confessions of a One Piece Addict." XD Gotta love it! He's really good at drawing Oda's style too. He has his own website with little comics and a deviantART too! I finally decided to start this blog from him too BTW.

"VG Cats" is a webcomic with these 2 cat characters (most of the time). It talks about games mostly, and it's really funny.

"Snafu" has a bunch of webcomics on it actually. I REALLY like the Grim Tales, PowerPuff Girls, and Invader Zim ones. DAMMIT!!! Why are all these people such good artists!!? I hate/love them so much!!!

"Weebl's stuff" is a bunch of flash animation episodes of Weebl and sometimes his friend Bob. Hilarious like crap man! Rated M for Mature (so is VG Cats I guess now that I think about it).

"Ask A Ninja" is like Strong Bad answering e-mails. He kinda sounds like him too! It's a ninja who answers questions in a ninja manner. Awww man, cracks me up!

Procrastinating Again

Shino: I helped start the Art Club at my High School last year and I was the official art club Ninja-Pirate. So I tried dressing up as one! XD The background is a mural our club was painting, but we're still not done after a whole year!!! I get this Thursday and Friday off so maybe we'll do it then. This is just me now dressing up for fun. I'm an Army Ninja, or a Ninjarmy I like to call it. Levi thought I should be a Ninj I Joe (G I Joe). The last pic is a chalk drawing of Cardcaptor Sakura. Our club held a Chalk the Walk where students could draw chalk art all day for $5. I did it with my friend Courtland and a (then) Junior girl Krystal who was in my Anime Club (but I think we renamed it to the Japanese Culture Club). I tought a little bit of Japanese in that club. Too bad the stupid school's shadow is covering up some of the chalk drawing.

School Sucks (what's new?)

Shino: Thought I'd put up some doodles in my notes from classes. Except this one. I had a test in Chemistry but I finished in like 20 minutes, so I could of left early or do something for 30 more minutes. I chose the later and doodled this on the back of the extra paper we were given for the midterm. It's Robin and Chopper from the Davy Back Fight. Something's wrong w/ Chopper and Robin's face, left hand, and feet. BTW, I can complain about anything (mostly mine or others' art). Oh look! Another Robin, but while she was Miss All Sunday. Her head's a little big compared to her body. I tend to start drawing big, then smaller so things get unproportional. (^_^;) I actually just felt like drawing crossed legs, then I remembered Robin sitting like that, so I drew her. The Miss All Sunday drawing and the 2 Luffy pics are from my History notes. I always end up writing like just a few lines on the next page, so there's over half a page of blank space left. I also really like that mad Luffy face in the corner. I tried drawing the rest of the face but it just made it worse. I have more doodles, mostly in the Math notes, but they're just not that good, so these are just my best. Hey, I'm pretty bad at feet, huh? Wonder why... I should practice more. I should draw more in general. (-o-;) I'm thinking of putting up some drawings at deviantart...someday. I called this post's title "School Sucks" because I have 2 more midterms this week and I don't think I'll do that good. I also have to write an essay that's due next week but I haven't even started on it yet. Too busy studying for those midterms...not really, but it's a good excuse. The last 2 drawings are from my Chemistry homework. I think I did pretty good on my Chemisty midterm. I think I'll get somewhere in the B's. Atleast I hope so. Sanji's from Water 7 BTW. I think he looks classier w/ the vest and orange shirt than his other clothes. Too bad his legs are too short. I love drawing the Davy Back Fight announcer guy! His face is so funny! I dunno if I drew his clothes right, but oh well. The voice actor for him is also the announcer in "Ito-ke no Ura Waza." His voice is so cool too! I also like to draw the Denden Mushi's cuz they look funny too. As e1n says, "Oda is God!" He's so freakin' good! WHY!? Well, gotta go eat spaghetti. Mmm...spaghetti... :P
