Yurkos song of the day: Photograph- by Def Leppard

Hello all to a beautiful monday afternoon post. Right now i should be studying for the math test tomorrow buuutt as you probably know me and work ethic are about as similar as Frosty the Snowman wintering in hell. Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday, i know i said that the posts would come regularly and often during this exam break but i had a bad case of the eating greasy crap which causes diarrhea, visions of the apokalypse and babies to cry; you know the standard fluish stomach ache. So yeah bearing that i wasnt really in the mood to put up a post yesterday although it did make for a nice vaild exuse not to study and to watch some tv.

During said TV viewage i was able to partake in watching probably one of the coolest movies ever made and one of my favourites, that being Blade Runner. In my opinion its right up there with Alien as one of Ridly Scott's best films. So dark and moody and atmospheric, truly a feat of cinematography if you ask me (which im sure you havent). It was the original version though which was a tad dissapointing because personally i liked the "What the hells going on???" ending of the directors cut which unlike most movies actually required you to put some thought into what you just watched and once you figured out what was going on, left you with a much more fufilled feeling; another sign of a good film. Re-watching this movie brought up three things though, firstly it really showed how times change in that back in the 80's people thought the future as this dark, forboding place whereas movies based off the same subject matter but made recently (aka Minority Report) depict a future much brighter and cheerful (not to sound depressing or anything but personally i find the dark future makes for a much cooler movie to watch). Second it revitalised my huge master dream which although highly unlikley to ever occur would still be damn cool. Ill be sure to talk about it at another time, probably on wednesdays post but not right now as i do have to get back to studying. Third and finally though, watching that movie really made me think and hope that the idiots in hollywood dont mess up the upcoming Deus Ex movie which if done right could create something equally as cool and kick ass as Blade Runner (if done wrong which it most probably will be, we will get something as great as the Mario Brothers movie or paycheck)

Oh btw if you really need something to read on here considering the lack of added material as of late, be sure to read the other last few posts ive put up here and comment because it would appear that everyone felt like checking my site regularly up until last wednesday in which case the comments stopped. That and be sure to download my songs of the day from your favourite music stealing service of choice, good picks all of em so listen and enjoy.

Sooo yes another short post but as stated above ive got to head back to the studying such that i dont fail my diplomas and end up a bum living on the street who could have went to university and been sucessful but decided to spend more time typing up his blog and so flunked out of high school. (wow that sentence almost went full circle, boy that would have been fun :P)
Yes weell anywho
Till Next Ramble

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
