Yurkos song of the day: Walking Away from the Edge - by Journey

Ahoy hoy all you sports fans; welcome to post number 19. Yeah sorry again about having a 3dayish break in posts there (jeese i seem to be apologizing quite a bit as of late) but yes as long as this exam break is ill be sure to make my posts much more frequent and regularish all thanks to the mighty power of Bran!! (hehe, regular.. bran.... *cough cough, yes anywho).

Half done my exams now, which is always a good thing although i still would ahve preferred the system of having both parts of the exam in one lump like i did for bio last year. That was its all over and done with in one afternoon instead of having to wait another week to finish the damn exams. On that note though the written stuff wasnt as bad as i had expected, most especially the math which was a total joke (whoooo the complexity of drawing a circle). Chem on the other hand not as easy but im still not complaining over the total lack of any sort of actual calculations (no real acid base stuff=a very happy yurko). Im pretty sure though that my system of measuring the heat of a bunsen burner was pretty much a total load of bull shat but meh its over and done, now to focus on the multiple choice.

Hehe good old van halen, currently listening to Jump; let me tell you that it makes for one great feel good song, not as good as can you picture that; from the muppets but very close.
Havent been able to play sim city lately due to studying so it looks like those lazy ass bastards will just have to be happy with their lack of an education, serves em right living in a city run by me. Have been playing quite a bit of the new prince of persia game and some old school zelda action courtesy of the free bonus disc nintendo sent me. Gotta love customer appreciation bribery although im still yet to figure out how a game from the 80's requires and uses the progessive scan function on my tv but meh no worries.
Almost completed my quest of the legoish nature, 3 of the 4 major set type dealies have been rebuilt, only being held up by one damn peice now which im starting to think has been eaten by some form of bug that lives soley on little red lego pieces so if you see one be sure to let me know. I must admit though that its fun to be able to just sit there playing with the lego and reminiscing (spelt that wrong im sure) about the good old days of being young and not having diplomas, universities to apply for etc.

Appearantly Lucasarts is going to be making a second Sam and Max: Freelance Police game. For those of you who have no idea what im talking about (which im guessing is everyone) i reccomend looking it up. Basically it was an adventure game from the 90's that also spawned one of the funnier cartoons of the era, almost as good as the Tick (any show that comes up with a superhero called Sarcastro gets a thumbs up in my books). So yes there making a new game based of the crazy antics of an overgrown rabbit and a dog in a suit so how can you go wrong. Albeit with this news i wish that they would make another monkey island game but hey mirthmaking is mirthmaking.

Was watching some tv saturday night (amazing isnt?) and teletoon was showing the last episode of clone high again. Now let me tell you if theres ever been a show that got cancelled well before its time this would be it. Such a great show and MTV only puts out one season, such bastards i tells you. This also got my blood boiling again about stupid networks cancelling great shows before they should. The big culprits being MTV and Fox of course, MTV for canning Clone High and Undergrads both of which were witty as hell, great entertainment and one had a giant genghis kahn with a paper hat; classic tv i tells ya, classic tv. But Fox gets the brunt of my rage friends, if i were ever to meet the guys who decided to cancel Futurama and Fastlane i would happily kick them. usually i would add in family guy to that but the stellar dvd sales of said show have caused fox to bring it back for at least another season so i wont gripe until after i hear what happens with that. But you had the hilarious futurama, winner of an emmy and generally considered still fresh and funny (unlike the current crop of simpsons episodes) but the cancel it and instead renew simpsons for another 5 seasons and keep king of the hill kicking around. My current theory is that President Bush likes having a show that deals with how he feels (aka rednecks) so by his order fox has to keep king of the hill around. Fastlane's cancellation i really dont get though, considering how much money they put behind it (cost like 2mill an episode or something) and they dont even promote it, throw it on a friday timeslot and then expect it to have great ratings. talk about stupid people i tell you, if i ran a tv network i assure you it would be full of quality programming that wouldnt get cancelled at the drop of a hat. Of course it would make no money seeing as how their would be no reality shows or any of that crap and would soon fold but thats not the point here folks, the point is that im done talking about tv for the moment!

I have realised thought that, well in person neway, ive had the tendency to do alot of griping and making of stupid jokes and cheap shots over certain things. Realising this ive decided taht hence forth im not going to anymore considering all it does is send across the wrong message, not the way i really feel in any way. That and it potrays me as a insincere loser whos being childish about stuff that really doesnt affect me in any great way. So because of all that no more will stupid comments or snide remarks about this thing will come from my mouth. What this thing is i arent gonna say but i know what it is and thats all that matters.

Hrmmm, well it would appear that i have run out of stuff to talk about for now so i think ill slog off a short addition to the story which hasnt been seen here for a good while now.

Well as you can plainly tell, odl Waldorf is a big fan of drunken dragon music so he lumbered quickly towards the source of this amazing sound. It was right around the time that the ducks were starting into a really good drum solo that Johnny decided to gaze up at the suddenly appearing shadow overhead. There he saw the gaping mouth of a smiling Waldorf enjoying a good tune (although to the undeducated eye its kind of hard to tell the difference between a smiling dragon and one whos looking at his next meal). Conveniently it was right around then that johnny decided to relieve himself much to the horror of a small ant holding a torch who was at that time going to warn the colony of the oncoming anteater horde.
Now you would think that someone in this position would bolt and run or something of that sort but not poor Johnny. See currently in his little mind (big compared to a certain helpless ant which was wondering why he never learned to swim and why the water was so yellow) Johnny was just thinking about how he could get around this large, apprearantly hungry Dragon to the promised piles of dried bread and small change laying behind. To say that Johnny had a one track mind would be insulting to tracks in general, his was more of the type of mind that worked like a small box; one thing fits and nothing else.
