			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh the song title stuff is getting old now&#8230;. I suck at titles though so muh.</p>
<p>Happy 4th&#8230; a little late. I was drunk as expected&#8230; and eating a TON of food that which the combination has left me feeling not so good today XD. Jumped around between everyone&#8217;s backyard BBQ&#8217;s. Over all this year kinda sucked though. Not as much fun going on as previous years.</p>
<p>Good stuff to report for once! I was finally promoted at work &lt;3 I R Manda the Companion Animal Manager *devious smile* I has powers now!! But seriously; pay raise, manager perks, authority and over seeing basic control of the all the stores animals. Really it&#8217;s what I wanted XD. About damn time! I do worry for my fish department though. No idea who is really going to take my place&#8230; but I will crack the whip on them to keep up the same quality as I did &gt;O. Will not see my fish go to poor conditions!</p>
<p>I started a new piece as well (actually I&#8217;ve started a few pieces&#8230; but this one I decided to continue on) PREVIEW:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-294" title="Shou Preview" src="http://manda.viciousevolution.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/20090706shoupreview.jpg" alt="Shou Preview" /></p>
<p>So far I like a lot&#8230; cause it&#8217;s clean looking. Shou from alice nine and basing the piece off of the song Subaru (yes, song obsession). Should be really pretty if all goes to plan ^ ^. That fucking shirt of his is a HUGE pain in the ass. Also *points* new logo thingy. Not just the butterfly anymore! I think it looks very oshare ;D I like muh logos to be smartly dressed XB</p>

<p>Wooo, cranked out another one some how! Did Hizumi cause Joe has some sort of homosexual crush on him. I liked my Tarou better though&#8230; anyway, clicky for full view.</p>
<p>Sooo other than more art, new layout ^ ^ and new location for that matter. For some reason just sticking wordpress in a folder within the main domain would cause it to load like crap and time out&#8230; not sure if that really has much to do with it&#8230; but I&#8217;m just guessing so. Either way it works fine now and I has a purty new layout. Media player is being a bitch though. Probably going to change that pretty soon to something more reliable. Difficulties everywhere D:</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll get into more personal things later.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since my venting post last, things are some what stable. Not better but stable. I hate to say I really don&#8217;t handle stress well at all lately. So I&#8217;m going to try and emerce myself in anything positive I can and ignore whatever is bothering/upsetting me. Is it a healthy way of dealing with things? No, probably not. But it&#8217;s my way of coping for now till I can try and achieve real change. I have a new plan for the future but it&#8217;s like I&#8217;m starting all over with this one. At least it&#8217;ll be in progress till I can properly determine whether my old plans might still come to fruition. So for now, end with complicated matters.</p>
<p><img title="mandacar" src="http://manda.viciousevolution.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mandacar1.jpg" alt="mandacar" width="300" height="400" align="left" />On to what&#8217;s new. I got a car ^ ^. Joe got it for me for my birthday actually but I didn&#8217;t get it right away. Also couldn&#8217;t drive it right away. Had to pay for registration, insurance and other stuff to get it road worthy. Also need to get it inspected by next week&#8230; and maybe get some new tires. like $450 later I&#8217;m not enjoying my birthday present as much as I would like. I am happy to have a car&#8230; but I wasn&#8217;t ready to take on the financial burden of it. So now I don&#8217;t have much of a choice. At least it only costs like $20 to fill up. I&#8217;m also not use to driving at all T-T. It&#8217;s been like 5 years I believe since I&#8217;ve really driven so I have a lot to get use to again. I&#8217;m all paranoid I&#8217;m gonna crash into somebody. That&#8217;s all I need -.-<br />
So with the car now costing me half my savings (oh, did I mention he used my money to purchase it? Used MY money to buy my own birthday gift..) and 2 whole paychecks I&#8217;m in a pretty good negative as far as money goes. This means we will be unfortunately canceling our Otakon plans&#8230;. as my hotel/gas/spending money is all gone&#8230; If I start saving now I could make most of it up&#8230; but this year I really didn&#8217;t want to have to do the whole last minute saving crap plus I have a lovely car insurance bill added on to my monthly expenses now. Ah well&#8230; Happy Birthday to me <img src='http://manda.viciousevolution.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> :D:D</p>
<p>So last night I got bored and started translating &#8220;want want want&#8221; by 12012. There use to be a site up that had the song&#8217;s translation and everything but I think it was taken down. Such a shame -.- So I just decided to not be lazy and do it myself if I wanted to know it so bad.</p>
<p>want want want &#8211; 12012</p>
<p>たぶんそらは淡い夢<br />
Maybe it&#8217;s a fleeting dream<br />
誰も居ない楽園で<br />
In a paradise with no one<br />
砂に還る刻を待ち<br />
In the sand waiting for a moment to return<br />
明けて暮れる同じ刻*<br />
The beginning coming to an end at the same moment</p>
<p>誰も見ない本の中<br />
I watch over no one in this book<br />
僕は君と出会うだろう<br />
It seems I will happen to meet you<br />
薄い吐息 消えないで<br />
In a soft lingering sigh<br />
枯れた最後葉は落ちる<br />
The last withered leaves fall</p>
<p>眠らない夜 君の探して 又新しい世界へ<br />
On Sleepless nights I search for you  to a world that&#8217;s new again<br />
眠れぬ日々に別れを告げて 又美しい世界へ<br />
On Sleepless days I bid farewell to a world that&#8217;s beautiful again<br />
この眼が消えて砂になったも変わらず君を見守るよ<br />
Even if these vanishing eyes become sand, I will watch over you<br />
この手が枯れて 砂になったも 君も抱きしめられるよ<br />
Even if these withering hands become sand, I will still hold you</p>
<p>も何も要らないよ 又いつか 生まれ変わっても<br />
I don&#8217;t need anything else, even if I&#8217;m reborn one day<br />
棒は君を忘れない だから今&#8230;<br />
I will not forget you, so now&#8230;</p>
<p>輪廻する魂の中で さよならを<br />
In the endless cycle of death and rebirth within my soul I say goodbye<br />
こだまする真実の愛を 泣き叫ぶ<br />
Echoing true love I cry out<br />
砕け散る この身体砂に為り 最愛の君の記憶 消えてく<br />
This body is breaking becoming sand as my beloved memories of you vanish</p>
<p>眠れない夜 君を探して 又新世界へ<br />
On Sleepless nights I search for you to a world that&#8217;s new again<br />
眠れぬ日々に別れを告げて 又美しい世界へ<br />
On Sleepless days I bid farewell to a world that&#8217;s beautiful again<br />
全てが欲しい 全てが欲しい 叶わぬ願いよ届け<br />
I want everything, I want everything, my answered wish will reach you<br />
君が愛しい 君が愛しいから<br />
Because I love you, I love you</p>
<p>*In this line and the line above the kanji 刻 is used, in this case to express the word time/moment. In the song however you clearly hear him say 時 &#8220;toki&#8221; while 刻 would be pronounced &#8220;koku&#8221;. A secondary meaning to 刻 is a carving or engraving, I think he chose this kanji because of a secondary meaning&#8230; kinda like a permanently engraved moment or something like that.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t fail so much with this one this time XD.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Soooo it all started with me making up a little compilation cd of a crap load of Jrock for a friend of mine. She LOVED it especially plastic tree so she asked for more. Being a fellow Cure fan she also asked if I could send her translated lyrics as they&#8217;re oh so important to the loving a band. Just so happens she&#8217;s hooked on &#8220;hairenju&#8221; off the cell album&#8230; not a popular song. So no surprise I couldn&#8217;t find a translation.. or the romaji&#8230; or the kana&#8230; Nothing &gt;.&lt;<br />
Google finally decided to cough up a page with the romaji for the song! YAY! but&#8230; still no kana. So I think &#8220;hmm, can&#8217;t be that hard to translate just from the romaji!?&#8221; and thus started my first translation without the help of the kana version of the song. 2 lines in I realized it was going to be a pain in the ass. I searched everywhere and I couldn&#8217;t even find a scan of the Cell album booklet or anything. I just need to see it! So I spend hours typing the romaji into kana, hoping it was right, and then trying to translate it line by line. I got through it but I&#8217;m sure there are a ton of mistakes as I have no idea what the correct kana is. There&#8217;s got to be a Cell scan somewhere T-T Either way I feel accomplished. I got the jist of it anyway XDD.</p>
<p>針槐<br />
Locust Tree (needle pagoda tree)</p>
<p>ピストルがほしい　毒薬がほしい 心の湖 広がるは 拡がるは<br />
見捨てられた景色 誰か 探すけど世界中が僕で いっぱいだ いっぱいだ<br />
I want a gun, I hope for poision, The lake of my heart expands, expands.<br />
I abandoned a search for someone who viewed everything but throughout the world is full, is full.</p>
<p>そう、ハリエンジュの棘　触れる度刺さって　傷を舐め合えば　夜は叙情してく<br />
ハリエンジュの棘　触れる度痛くて したを出し合えば　夜は叙情してく<br />
yes, I get stuck when I touch the thorn of the locust tree. If we lick our wounds the night expresses itself.<br />
The times I touch the thorns of the locust tree, if it was mutually painful the evening expresses itself.</p>
<p>押し殺してなきゃ　ゴミ見たいな感情　心の湖　引き返す 引き返す<br />
あれは何て歌？　君は何ていった？　最後に知りたくて　聞き返す　聞き返す。<br />
I have to crush these feelings of looking at rubbish. the lake of my heart comes back, comes back.<br />
what is that song? What do you have? Finally I want to know, ask again, ask again.</p>
<p>そう、ハリエンジュの棘　触れる度刺さって　傷を舐め合えば　夜は叙情してく<br />
ハリエンジュの棘　触れる度痛くて したを出し合えば　夜は叙情してく<br />
yes, I get stuck when I touch the thorn of the locust tree. If we lick our wounds the night expresses itself.<br />
The times I touch the thorns of the locust tree, if it was mutually painful the evening expresses itself.</p>
<p>ピストルがほしい　毒薬がほしい 心の湖 広がるは 拡がるは<br />
呼んでいるように　てを不利さよなら　契り愛で僕を　引き裂いて　引き裂いて。<br />
I want a gun, I hope for poision, The lake of my heart is transparent, transparent.<br />
I call out to you moving your hand saying good bye against our vow of love. I am torn up,　tear me up.</p>
<p>そう、ハリエンジュの棘　触れる度刺さって　傷を舐め合えば　夜は叙情してく<br />
ハリエンジュの棘　触れる度痛くて したを出し合えば　夜は叙情してく<br />
yes, I get stuck when I touch the thorn of the locust tree. If we lick our wounds the night expresses itself.<br />
The times I touch the thorns of the locust tree, if it was mutually painful the evening expresses itself.</p>
<p>もう　抜けないや　抜けないや　抜けないや　抜けないや<br />
Soon I won&#8217;t be able to escape, can&#8217;t escape, can&#8217;t escape, can&#8217;t escape.</p>
<p>*Title of song seems can translate a few ways. Directly translated it means &#8220;black locust tree&#8221; aka robinia pseudoacacia. It can also mean &#8220;needle pagoda tree&#8221; as thats what each individual kanji represents. I chose to generalize the title to just locust tree as it makes more sense to the song. The black locust tree is a thorny tree but mostly the backs of the leaves. The Golden locust and other variations have long pointed thorns covering most of the tree, some 2-6 inches in length and closely related to the acacia tree. Seems appropriate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yay, My birthday is finally here (sorta, april 22). I just remembered like 3 days ago XD.<br />
I feel really old T-T. I know 22 isn&#8217;t all <em>that</em> old but I feel like I should still be in high school or something o.O. I&#8217;m still mistaken for a 16-year-old at work all the time XD. Not sure if it&#8217;s good or bad.<br />
Somehow my birthday never quite goes as planned. I was hoping to go to the botanical gardens for hanami before the rush of people start flooding the place&#8230; but alas Joe has work T-T. And whats the point of viewing pretty cherry blossom trees if you can&#8217;t do it with the person you love *sob*. Ah well.</p>
<p>Might go buy new lip piercing stuff tomorrow then&#8230; and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be tempted to get a second hole in my lip XD. I&#8217;m just not sure if they can initially put an acrylic retainer in a new piercing as I can&#8217;t have metal in my face at work O_o. I shall ask though ^^. Happy birthday to me *puts hole in lip* hooray!<br />
I was thinking maybe of a tattoo&#8230;. but that&#8217;s something I&#8217;d rather put a TON of thought into&#8230; well I have put a ton of thought into it but I&#8217;m just not sure what to start with XD.</p>
<p>Time for more fun pictures from work, hooray!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67" title="babybeardeddragon" src="http://manda.viciousevolution.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/babybeardeddragon1.jpg" alt="Baby Bearded Dragon" width="400" height="602" /><br />
Finally go baby bearded dragons in at work. I want.</p>

I like hams <img src='http://manda.viciousevolution.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Cute fat sleeping ham XD.</p>
<p style="visibility:visible;">
<p style="visibility:visible;">Yuh, Ima loser with my cute animal pictures XD. Might as well get some sort of enjoyment out of my work I suppose. Should just own my own pet shop! Perhaps one day (*cough*the betta bowl NYC*cough*).</p>
<p style="visibility:visible;">Lastly for tonight, I have a new song obsession. &#8220;want want want&#8221; by 12012. I thought the song was really pretty at first but then I started some slight lyric comprehension that got me interested enough to go look them up. Now I&#8217;m in love. Beautiful song both musically and lyrically. Really some how reminds me of <strong>The Cure</strong> o.O. and we all know how much of a huge closet Cure fan I am <img src='http://manda.viciousevolution.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> . Robert Smith = much Jrock inspiration FYI <img src='http://manda.viciousevolution.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now, onto discussing the Diru concert&#8230;which to my great surprise was absolutely amazing! I seriously expected them to play like all of Marrow but thankfully they only did like 4. The rest was all Withering and VULGAR. Oh, I love Vulgar with a passion. Highlights of the night included Obscure, The Final, IIID Empire, Mr. Newsman and an amazing performance of Ryoujoku no Ame with Clever Sleizoid to finish up the night. Thankfully Kyo&#8217;s engrish is so bad none of the parents in the audience could understand the final line in that song. I&#8217;m sure they were all horrified enough with video&#8217;s of Obscure, screaming maggots and random shots of disembowelment flashing on the video screen behind the stage. Two girls in front of us were probably like 15 or 16 there for their first concert with their mother after discovering Diru like 2 weeks ago&#8230;.I&#8217;m sure it was quite an experience for all of them XD.<br />The best part about it all&#8230;we weren&#8217;t killed this time. Stayed stately in the back seating with a great view of the stage at eye level with Kyo who seemed some what amused at our seizureing when Obscure and the final came up XD. Thank you Kyo for not sucking and learning how to sing after all these years. I still think your new album sucks&#8230;but my faith is with you XD. <br />Oh, Joe also got a poster autographed by Shinya. Made his night. And later on he was compared to Jack Osbourne XD! The picture is up on <a href="http://jrocknyc.blogspot.com/" targer="_blank">JrockNYC</a>, pretty funny.<br />As for me, I finally had a reason to wear my effen SexPot Revenge Sweater. It was enough to make me happy. And I saw a ton of people I haven&#8217;t seen since the effen D&#8217;espairsRay concert (and possibly from the L&#8217;arc en ciel concert&#8230;.I barely remember at this point). Good night over all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>urgh&#8230;.my head&#8230;is in so much pain right now&#8230;just got home from the D&#8217;espairsRay concert&#8230;it was awesome&#8230;.but my head is going to explode XD. as usual, things didn&#8217;t go quite as planned. my recent gaming obsession caused me to say up way too late&#8230;so then i slept till like 12:30 instead of the 10:30-11 i originally planned on&#8230;joe woke me up by showing up at my door with food&#8230;ha..convinced me to get my ass out of bed. but then i ate too fast and felt sick (URGH!) so i went to my room to lay down and try to feel better&#8230;.and we both passed out till like 4&#8230;ha&#8230;so then i had to get ready really quickly and we ended up leaving at about a quarter after 5 instead of the 3 we intended ;-;&#8230;the drive was quick though&#8230;but we couldn&#8217;t find parking&#8230;then we lucked out and found a spot that seemed a little too good to be true. soooo we went to avalon&#8230;and began looking for andrew who was suppose to be there since like 3&#8230;and we couldn&#8217;t find his fan-head anywhere. so we just went to the back of the line (which wasn&#8217;t that long really) and not 5 minutes later he showed up. turns out he left late as well. we froze our asses off for a good half an hour and then went in and found a nice spot along the railing on the second floor above the stage&#8230;i was too tired to be squished in the pit&#8230;.urgh&#8230;there were two opening bands. the first was suicide city, they were awesome. quote of the night from them &#8220;who wants to touch my crotchal region?&#8221;..wtf&#8230;the second band was trash light something&#8230;i don&#8217;t really remember&#8230;i thought they sucked. they were a poor follow up from suicide city. then finally desray came out&#8230;and thats when my ear drums exploded from much fangirl screaming XD. the performance was awesome though. everyone was going after hizumi&#8217;s crotch o_o&#8217;&#8230;poor hizumi&#8230;they were all fat and unattractive. and then for the encoure, he triped and fell into the crowd then tried to make it look like he did it on purpose XD&#8230;.and karyu and zero accidentally ran into eachother&#8230;crack heads&#8230;still and awesome show though. joe and i were like the only people watching from the second floor that were actually like, moving and looking like we were having fun and screaming so hizumi kept looking at us like we were insane or something. and i tried to scream out karyu&#8217;s name when they were between songs and he looked at me and nodded~&lt;3 it was cute. eh, so the night went well, and i got a zero pick so i&#8217;m happy ^^&#8230;so then&#8230;we got out at 11:13&#8230;then got to the car&#8230;and joe had a ticket&#8230;because the spot we were parked in was only good till 11&#8230;and it was written at 11:04&#8230;joe was pissed he missed it by 9 minutes and blames it on the encore XD.<br />ah&#8230;so now i&#8217;m home&#8230;and my head still hurts&#8230;and i still can&#8217;t hear anything&#8230;but it was well worth it i think. and now i can&#8217;t wait till the diru concert *sob* i&#8217;ll fight my way to the front for that, no matter how painful. *sigh* soooo&#8230;imma go pass out now&#8230;</p>
