One step at a time, pimpin new community, and update on Spring Cleaning Sale

[beck]

Well I completed and passed my motorcycle course last weekend. It wasn't long till you get a handle of riding in the beginning after we power walked with the bikes. No one wiped out though the other chick (it was only she and I and the rest were guys) almost dumped her bike when she went to turn her bike while we were power walking. Our instructors were pretty good and the one main guy, bubba said he had him when he took the class. Sat. was classroom in the morning and then the course after lunch. We had about an hr to go till the end before the clouds started to roll in and in the distance there was some lightening but thank god we didn't get rained on since it stayed in one area on Sat. The heat was starting to get to me a bit but it really took it's toll on the other chick. She said she called ahead to her hubby to run her a cool bath and not long when she got home she threw up. I know she looked pretty beat before we left on Sat. I'm thankful it didn't get that bad with me. All day Sun. was spent out on the course. The morning was cool but of course it started to get pretty warm before noon. My face got pretty burnt from both days and I even wore sunscreen Sun. morning.

It felt weird both days driving home cause while in the car, it still felt like I was on a bike.

Now to get some practice on bubba's bike since the bikes we used on the course were smaller and easier to handle than what bubba's bike is.

Wed. morning I went to DPS to take the motorcycle computer test for my license and passed, so now I'm legal to ride. Scary!

This month is so craaaaaaaazy busy for us. Last weekend was my course, this weekend is graduation stuff, next weekend is MORE graduation stuff this time down in Ft.Hood/Killeen and will probably stay down there during Mem.Day weekend.

Since I was unable to do what I wanted for my 30th bday, I thought I'd hold off and hopefully be able to make plans for next spring. So, as of right now, I already got my motorcycle business out of the way, and hopefully sometime next month I can work on taking some online Japanese courses that toriru4ever told me about. If I find that I don't have any problems learning it, I might take more courses this yr as long as I have the time and money to do so.

I finally made a long overdue community for the Japanese band Beat Crusaders. I was actually kinda shocked that there hasn't been one made either when BECK:Mongolian Chop Squad first came out in '04 or even during the shitty Bleach fillers and they had their song for the 4th OP. Oh well, I'm happy to be the one to take on the task.

And since the majority of the posts will be locked cause of it containing media, beneath the cut are some samples for those that might not have heard of their music, seen any of their vids, or heard of one song but not what their other stuff sounds like. I have included their new video and a random song I selected. I'm also including what I could find of the lyrics for the song (but it's only half of it, not sure why the rest wasn't posted) since they do sing in Engrish, sometimes it's a bit hard to follow if you don't know what they are saying.





Click the pic to get the dl for the vid. And no, this is not a remake of Quiet Riot's song either, just has the same title.

I busted a gut laughing at the vid. Then again, this band never ceases to make me giggle all the time, they're so full of dorkable love! ♥♥♥♥

I thought that the whole vid was going to be them playing air instruments till you figure out what's really going on. I totally dig the music, it kinda has that hard edge yet still has that same BECR feel to it.

And a random music clip from "A PopCALYPSE NOW" - Gymnasium


Take me
Some place
Why don't you talk to me come out to play?

Someone feed me now
Mommy's a liar
Keeps me hungry
Don't know reason why
Daddy's on trial
Say no joke

(chorus)
Nobody's home
In the last of sunny day
How can I back to my school?
'Cos nobody's home
In the last sunny day
But then I'd like to see you

Take me
Some place
Why don't you talk to me come out to play?

(other half of lyrics that I can kinda decipher)

Once upon a time
The ? is on fire
????????
I don't give a damn, my ass is on fire
Say no joke

(chorus)

I couldn't help but upload another one I happen to like alot. From the "Nano Mugen compilation '06" and also will be appearing on the new album this month "EPopMaking" - Another Time/Another Story

Find
The missing time
That left behind you lonely long before

Fight
Against the night
Try to find the sun and knock the door

What to say
Nothing let me justify
To anybody else
Should I stay or should I go?

Another time, another stories
Begin in your crystal heart
Another time, another stories
Hidden in the mystery eyes
Another time, another stories
Begin in your crystal heart
Another time, another stories...

Find
The missing time
That left behind you lonely long before

Fight
Against the night
Try to find the sun and knock the door

What to say
Nothing let me justify
To anybody else
Should I stay or should I go?

Another time, another stories
Begin in your crystal heart
Another time, another stories
Hidden in the mystery eyes

Another time, another stories
Another time, another stories



So yeah, if you like what you hear/see and would be interested in more, feel free to join the comm. cause I'll most likely start posting more sometime next week at the comm.
