Yurkos song of the day: Can't Stop Losing You- by The Police

"Everybody's a jerk. You, me, this jerk."

yeah well here i am again typing up another thing. Just thought id come on to say a few things, mostly just a few responses; The upcoming halley barry crapfest known as Catwoman is a spinoff movie, not the same upcoming bat film i was talking about (and if it is a purple costume i will cry), my spelling i thought was pretty damn good considering how tired i was and how late it was so meh however i spell it thats how i spell it.
well i came to the realisation that last night i really really should have went to Jenns party last night. but no i had to be an idiot and use the excuse of no costume not to even try. why i did that, i am not to sure but its one of my stupider moments. like bloody bloody hell, an idiot i am


yeah well ive also realised that as of late the incentive to do these things has been lacking, all things considered i put a hell of alot of effort into this crap and for what? every time i get 3 or 4 comments about one line in what is usually at the least a 3 paragraph affair? yeah i dont know, its just kinda dissapoiting to put all that effort in and well not a great deal of incentive anymore for various reasons. this being the case i dont know, i might make another one of these in a while or something, then again maby not but well who knows if the incentive comes back i will if not well yeah i dont know

Yurkos song of the day: I Whooped Batman's Ass- by Wesley Willis

"Its just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

BLOOODDDYYY HEELLLLL ENMAX!!!!!!!!!!

god damn power outage, i was this close to finishing offf tonights post.. THIS CLOSE!!! but noooo they had to go and have a damn power outage and i lose every god damn word. AARRRGGGHHH!!!!! this angers me to no end! it was getting pretty good too, one of my better nonsensical rantings about nothing but now its lost forever because i cant even begin to recall half of the junk that i had said. GRRRRRR

siiiggghhhh..... ah well liff must go on as they say i had planned on hitting the old sack but jenn wanted me to make up another post so i being the soft touch that i am when it comes to forceful Family Guy requests (COMEOOONNNN) esp when i am tired, here we are: me typing, you reading and germany preparing to invade a small neutral country (yes i know stop with ze german bashing but hey ive been watching alot of stuff on WWII as of late {bloody social} so i find it amusing although no one else will) Basically to sum up a good chunk of what was in my last post, finished off my physics for the week, wasnt fun at all, english we are almost done Death of a Salesman which is a time to rejoice although now i have to write up an essay which is not a time to be happy at all ( i hate essays with a passion) annd social is social what can i say, although i must remeber to ask piitz something about the ruskies from the end of the war on monday (a question which occured to me whilst finally finishing up watching Band of Brothers {damn great series}).

Also been getting back into the reading as of late, mostly the works by my new favourite author; Philip K. Dick. Man this guy has churned out some greats. What got me on to his works was my reccoletion that the movies Blade Runner (one of my all time favourites) and Minority Report were both based off books that he had done. So recalling this (and having my handy calendar reccomend another one of his novels {same one that gave us the glory of Cheese Sunday :P}) I went to the good old libratorium and signed out "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?" the novel of which blade runner is based and of course "The Minority Report". Man are these great books, "Do androids.." in particular, never have i read a book so gripping and filled with such plot twists that you actually cant see them coming no matter how hard you think, but whats great is that there all feasable in the constraints of the book, not like some novels where theres a twist just for the sake of fucking with the reader. Damn good reads, damn damn damn damn damn good. On that note go and rent Blade Runner, id reccomend the Directors cut but either or are great movies.

On that note of great movies im not to sure if ive ranted about the movie Memento before but that is one sweet film. The whole concept alone is great, a man with no short term memory who has to go through life, while hunting the man who killed/raped his wife. But to then take the whole idea and run the film in backwards order, sheer genious i tells you, sheer genious. Its not a movie for everyone mind you, it does require a heavy amount of attention and thought but if you can get into it and like stuff like that then well its a great ride. Happily i would also like to mention that the same guy who directed the afformentioned Memento is the one whos going to be making the new Batman movie, which keeping my fingers crossed, will vindicate the greatness that is Batman (yes i know, i r loser) after the horrible crap fest that was Batman and Robin (damn you George Clooney, daaammmmnn yooouuu). but yes i digress.... well i have no where to digress to soo it looks like we are stuck now doesnt it?

well im running out of stuff to say, considering much of my creativity was pumped into the post that no one will see. grrrrrrrr. But yeah i just feel that i will end this off on a note of semi sadness. Mostly to due with the fact that i still wish someone would make a monkey island movie (although now it would just look like a knock off of Pirates of the Carribean..siiigghh) that and its really to bad that the adventure game genre has died and gone off to heaven. Lets face it folks, sure shooters and such are great fun (considering how many i own i can attest to that) but there is a certain charm to be had with the sharp wit that can be found in a greatly written adventure game. Especially those that came from the genious minds over at LucasArts. Well most of that can be attested to the genious that is Ron Gilbert. you look at all the great games that came from this guy and you will be hard pressed not to find a seething pot of witty goodness. From the monkey island games 1-3 (not 4 that was done by a different team, guys who did Sam and Max) to Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, each and every one was great fun to play through and equally witty in its greatness. This does bring up a tang of sadness though because LucasArts was planning on making an sequel to Full Throttle but sadly that got canned, ah well one can hope that the next Sam and MaX game along with the rumoured Monkey Island 5 comes out......
Yes well now that ive offically declared, branded and tried myself as a total loser/geek/idiot methinks that i shalt get me some much needed shut eye. soo..

Yurkos song of the day: Cocaine- by Eric Clapton

"People said I was dumb, but I proved them."

Well now that the boondoggle that was the countdownish thing is over there will be a lack of well the countdown from the posts. isnt that a crazy suprise? On that note i expect at least a little hate mail over the dissapointing nature of the countdown but if it comes all i have to say is "Bite Me!".

Havent been writing posts this weekend, then again havent been doing much this weekend due to the model un dealie. Sure its was kinda fun being able to have the excuse to bitch, complain, insult and backstab people plus get free food but it did make for a very long and very tiring weekend. Oddly enough my partner and i won the best delegates for the security council. How that occured i havent the slightest considering that my comments made during model UN were of the variety that most of my comments are: that of course being rambling with no intent of reaching any sort of end and more often than not changing direction or topic halfway. Although this might be (and probably is) how everyone actually talks in the real UN it being a club for usless politicans so maby we won because we are the most realistic, who knows. all that matters is i get a usless plaque and something else totally pointless to ad to the resume.

Also got my grad photos done, now talk about a totally pointless excerise, taking 3 pictures of varying poses in which all of them i felt like a total idiot is always a great way to "capture" a "proud and momentous" event in ones life. Im starting to get the feeling that this whole grad dealie is totally blown out of preportion but at the risk of getting my ass whupped by those who feel otherwise i never said that previous statement....
Yurko is boned on the other hand when it comes to homework this week. This of course stemming back to the long weekend in which i really should have gotten my physics done but did i? that of course being a very big negatory so now ive got to get about 50 odd pages done for thursday, not including studying for a phys test, doing a good 15 questions for social (the long ass response kind not really stupidly easy ones), a test in social aaannnd study for the big Death of a Salesman test upcoming in English (talk about a depressing play). So yes i dont really expect to be putting up a great deal of these postage dealies in the near future or if i do expect very shortish ones (well short in my standards in any case).

Other than all the afformentioned crapola not a great deal has occured in the life of yurko as of late, mostly alot of same old same old with a healthy sprinkleing of "awe damn this bites" or "I would but not worth the effort" or my personal favourite "why bother if nothings going to happen". So yes on this note of disjointed comments making no sense to all i will take my leave (god damn leg, why must you hurt so?)

This is just a quick update to finish off the countdown considering todays the day, that and i would write more but ive got alot of homework to do and not much night to do it. I shalt be sure to elaborate in tomm.'s post so expect a much longer one there (btw dont eat me because this is short) so yeah..

HAPPY CHEESE SUNDAY EVERYONE!!!
that is of course if you live in romania buuuuttt im pretty sure no ones does so heeeyy its moot...

....

yeah sorry i saw on my calendar that there was some holiday on the 22nd called cheese sunday and is celebrated in romania so the oddness of my brain says "hey that would make for a really funny/dissapointing thing to build up to" so me in all my infinite wisdom did such that, i thought i was funny but no one else will probably get it.
regardless thats it

Yurkos song of the day: Can you Picture that?- by Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mahyem

2 more days!!!!

"My folks were always on me to groom myself and wear underpants. What am I, the pope?"

Ahhh there we go, back to less than 5 comments. Much much better, mostly because thats what im used to. Am i really happy? not really but heeeeyyy its something to start this here shinding off with. but yeah i forgot to mention that a while back this site broke the 1000 people mark which is always a good time for some form of celebration. Although im not to sure if i really believe those numbers considering like always i think that a few to many of those are myself but heeeyyy no ones gonna know but me....

Not a great deal to talk about today folks, mostly due to the fact that from swimming and my total lack of sleep last night i had no energy AT ALL today. First time in fact that ive been so tired in a class that i couldnt pay attention even in the slightest. Soo ill just talk about the one hugeish event that occured today.

This would be of course what i am pretty damn sure is THE climax to the whole operation piss the pants off erin. Basically the events unfolded such as this: we had a sub in muzac so thusly no real teacher participation. Due to this for some unknown reason erin took it upon herself to keep pushing me, saying stuff in her nasily, incredibly whiney, would kill unborn children voice stuff like "chris, why dont you talk to me online anymore" which i promptly replied with nothing at all, that or started talking to someone else while she was in mid sentence. This of course went on for a good chunk of the class, resulting in her getting more and more pissed until near the end she just blew up and basically yelled in my ear "Chris what the fuck is your problem?" and what did i do to that? Why stand up calmly, no emotion at all on my face and go over to talk to victor. man that was a moment i tellls ya. Yeah so anyways after about a minute or two she comes up and starts bitching at me saying things like "what the hell chris, why are you so pissed off at me, i think i deserve to know.." blah blah blah. Of course at that point i was trying damn hard to keep up the ignoring, considering that if she cant remeber why i would be pissed well then clearly her actions towards me dont really amount to much in her eyes. But yeah that kept up until she was basically right in my face in which case its pretty damn hard for anyone to ignore anything. So at that point i thought to myself ahh fuck it; which was basically what i said, saying in the calmest and quietest voice i could "erin, fuck off" she kinda looks at me and asks again "Well why should i?? i deserve to know why your ignoring me?" my response in retrospect isnt as witty nor as scathing as i could have made it but hey whats done is done, but yeah all i said was "well you should know why im pissed" or something to that extent and then cooly and calmly i walk away. Made for a rather fitting, if not aticlimatic ending but it was the high point in the day as i finally was able to tell her off and if she cant figure out why im pissed or anything like that well than she can take something sharp and shove it. Oh i meant to talk about this earlier but in response to your comment jackie about girls liking those who the pester well if that was the case (which i highly doubt now) she can once again shove it because ive seen what that manipulating scum does to her boyfriends. Its basically a toss up of her bickering, complaining and leading on the guy for a good 6 months after shes stopped liking them before actually dumping them; 6 months of lies?? comooonn. That or manipulates and controls them to the point that they are so god damn whipped that even after they "break up" she still runs the persons life like a god damn lap dog.
so yeah im basically done for today, lots of rage spilled but that should be the last for a while; got a fun filled weekend of model un to look forward too (booo)

Yurkos song of the day: La Grange- by ZZ Top

3 more days!!!

"Words. Nothing but sweet, sweet words that turn into bitter orange wax in my ears."

Yet another post coming at you from the rather bored mind of el yurko. This is startin to get a little crazy folks, more than 3 comments in more than 2 consecutive days? what the heck is this world coming too?? People actually commenting and all, damn this is soo odd i think my spleen is acting up again...

..

.....

ok so no its not (just like 11, damn him; that will never get old) so aaannywho here comes a thrusday night edition of the rambles of a bored mind.

Today was mostly uneventful, got up far to early for anyones liking to go to yet another stupidly pointless band practice. Although this did present some ample erin shunnage moments none the less another hour of sleep would have been very very nice. This of course coming from the guy who plans on getting up at 5 tomorrow to go swimming to get ready for a swim meet he doesnt even want to do. But hey i never didnt say i wasnt not crazy! (pretty sure those cancelled out into what i wanted to say but if not meh, you'll never know {of course now that ive said that it means you will know so at the risk of a self inflicted anyurism ill shut up}). Stupid erin though, pretty sure ive said all there is to say about her soo ill just shake my fist for the sake of fist shaking
*shakes fist

Aaanywho reading the paper yesterday brought to my attention some information that has me royally saddened/pissed. This of course being the news about the WB canning Angel after this season. Considering that i seem to be the only person whom i know that is actually sad/cares about this im pretty sure thats why its being cancelled, regardless though this still leaves a funny taste in my mouth. Bah stupid tv networks, Angel was just starting to get really good again (esp after the crapfest that was last season, stupid pregnant whiney chick left over from buffy), it was back to the good old days of dry wit, non stop fights and really good plots. So what does the WB do? why the cancel it of course whereas they decide to renew Charmed, which is i might add one of the biggest wastes of tv space known to man. Whats even more sad is that there probably going to fill the spot with some other teen soap opra, small town crap shoot that seems to be there programming of choice theses days (all the everwood and gilmore girls clones). Sighh so dissapoiting; mostly because once you hear news like this it always taints ones feelings when watching new episodes of the show. Such that no matter how good it is, lurking deep back there in your mind is that little nagging though of "well yeah its good, but this means one more episode closer to the end" Ruins alot of the fun i tells ya. And this coming on the heels of two really great episodes too. First one about beating up nazis back in ww2 (pure great tv, bar none) to last nights episode involving an evil kids tv show (much like the one on the cancelled {grrrrr} greg the bunny) with demon puppets who look like the ones of the afformentions greg the bunny, and a truly great moment where angel gets turned into a puppet. Some of the scenes were just great, the best coming to mind the one where the puppets are going at it with each other, swords and all which made for a very funny tv moment. This pure writing genious was of course brought to you (and by you i mean me) by the same guy who created and wrote the various tick shows and comic book (Ben Edlund), top notch all around. But yes great show, once again canned. It would appear that many of the shows that i really like are being cancelled. Now this might have to do with me liking television that no one else but their sick half dying dogs like but i just stand to the fact that Tv excecutives are really stupid. really really really stupid. Nothing i can do about it other than rant so rant i shall.

Speaking of Tv, the other show taht watch alot of currently has been Las Vegas. usually a good place for some good brainless entertainment (well the best that can be found on a monday night in any case). This weeks episode however was god awful. Firstly they take a show entitled Las Vegas and for some unknown reason decide to write a really really REALLY shoddy plot around the main cast having to go to New Orleans for mardi gras. Whats worse is that its pretty damn clear that there not really in New Orleans but just in locals that are lit just dark enough so that you cant see the rather obvious fact that its on a sound stage. At least when there in las vegas you have the shots of them being out and about to make it feel like your there. Siggghh, just another dissapointing turn of events in yurkos tv watching of late.

One thing that has bothered me though has been the recent trend (well not really recent but more people doing it) of people jumping onto things once they suddenly become the cool/in thing to do. No im not talking about drugs or anything like that, im more talking about fads and stuff of that nature. Specifically people tastes in Tv and music. Firstly my gripes go towards Family guy an its sudden "outbirst" of fans. What a load of crock i tells ya. Ive been a fan of the show since its original airing on Fox and what really bugs me is that when teletoon first picked it up to start airing again I was so pumped. Did anyone else care? No, in fact most people didnt even know waht the hell a family guy was. Buuuuttt now taht its all in and popular everyone seems to be the biggest fan of the thing. Yes i know thats kinda a good thing, considering that its people like that who have prompted fox to revive the show but i have my doubts, its probably going to end up being nothing like it was and quickly tank. hmmm not to sure where to go from there buuutt on to other topics
Its similar to people who start liking something and decide that anyone who does like it but doesnt fit into what they consider the proper part of waht the like entails is a poser even if they liked it before them. Case in point the current crop of punk muzac, which although im not a huge fan of is readily appearant for this type of behaviour. According to friends who are big into all of this, if you like punk but dont dress all skaterish (which i think looks kinda stupid neways but thats beside the point) then you are considered a poser. Whats odd is that im pretty sure that they would say stuff like this to people who are in the 40's-50's who say that the like punk. whats odd about that is that these people could easily call them the true posers and the like because true punk dates back to the mid to late 70's which basically means that anyone who wasnt big into it back then is a poser; thusly making any arguements for how one should dress to like something etc. moot. Then again im pretty sure i contradicted myself a few times there thusly making my whole comment moot buuuuttt welll the spleen again...

Yurkos song of the day: While my Guitar Gently Weeps - by The Beatles

5 more days!!

"Whoa! Letters like 'u' and 'r' can mean words like 'you' and 'are'!"

Hello there sports fans and welcome to another post!
god that was stupid. Yeah sorry about the lack of posts coming your way latley. I was gonna put one up last night but my sister was using the computer all evening so that was a no go, sunday i was going to but was kinda ticked about certain things (mostly involving doing stuff and the lack of being able too) and well saturday i was lazy/at a roughnecks game which i will elaborate on later. Sooo yes thusly i bring forth a post today.

Its gonna be a slightly short one today folks, mostly because im tired that and appearantly i have to go do stuff tonight. As you can plainly tell the long weekend has came to a close (alas) but hey there was some fun goings on there so its all good. As mentioned there was the whole movie renting dealie which was great fun. Went to the roughnecks game on saturday (yes i know on valentines buts all a load of corporate crap so i dont care {that or im bitter over being single, although i sure hope not cause thats pretty damn cliche}). Man was that a crap load of fun though. all that mocking and screaming and laughing... goood times, good times. Although im still bitter of the boondoggle of a letdown that was that ovetime. WHAT A JOKE, damn you 29... lazy ass its all your fault..

Moving on from what is surley a very inside joke had some more good fun with the erin pissoffage. Appearantly according to my sources (starts with a J and ends with a enn) she is really pissed at me now. I find that kind of funny because if she is sooo damn pissed WHY DOES SHE STILL TRY TO SAY HI?? I dont know, im no scientist, you tell me. ahh spare though was classic. Effectivly i was able to shun her from not only my talking buuutt every single conversation at the entire table. Des was included in it all but was erin? nope! He he he he he thats some good old fashioned evil fun; but hey it serves that evil manipulating biatch right. Youve gotta learn to take a stand somewhere cause if not your just sitting... although sitting would be preferential to standing, what with the comfort and all.... mmmm comfyness *cough *cough
yeah sorry i got a little off topic there, the point of the story is.. its always great to be evil sometimes!!

Oh! i just remebered that i had a pretty good critique thought up to write on here, although its probably no where near as good as if i told it to you in person; lacking hand motions and all but hey. watched that new britney spears music video; the toxic one or what have you. Personally i think it would have made more sense for them to make that the first single off her new album, better than the other one (still both pretty bad but hey its an improvement). That music video on the other hand. Hoooo boy this think makes negative sense. Firstly why on earth is she an appearant assasin who doubles as a flight attendant? That doesnt make a great deal of sense, although sure you can get the free rides and such but isnt it a pretty regulated schedual to be able to go somewhere and off a target? doesnt make much sense that and im pretty sure (as anyone whos played the hitman games will agree) that 47 could easily kick her ass around town twice. But i digress, what i dont get is this music video is supposedly taking place within one day or night for that matter; so where does she have the time to go through all of these costume changes/hair dyes? Like the constant dying of the hair alone would take a good chunk of the time i would imagine. Then theres the whole logistics of her somehow jumping off an airplane flying to the sun (???) and landing on a motorcycle. After that though she goes to this ultra secret lab where she steals the big bad evil toxic stuff (obviously poisionous because its green and all) but as she leaves theres the whole dance thingie with the lazers. Two things, what i dont get is she clearly already trips one of the lazers so why now is she so worried about setting off the alarm system. secondly i have to question any security system that can be that easily foiled by anyone who can dance. Although maby in the future spys arent supposed to be good on their feet so its safe. Finally though, in the part of the video that gets me the most is that after she climbs the builiding in her underwear (thats gotta be slightly chilly) she breaks into the guys apartment who appearantly doesnt care about someone entering his penthouse suite just so long as they are there to have sex with him. She throws him down etc and the librally covers his mouth with this oh so evil poision thusly killing him in 2 seconds. Thats pretty damn fast for a toxin to work but whats odd is that if this stuff is so bloody potent and clearly she misses his mouth alot, why then does she KISS the guy but not collapse from the leftover poision that would surley be on the lips? once again i dont know maby shes a robot or something the point of the matter is STUPID VIDEO!!

As you can clearly see the beatles have made another showing on todays songs of the day. This would be probably my favourite song by them ever. God i just love the guitar riffs on this track courtesy of the god himself, Eric Clapton. Just a very well written tune all around, good fun for all etc etc. There was more i was going to say buut i forgot.

Hmmm well i would love to write more on this here post but..
Gahhh!! my spleen

Yurkos song of the day: One More- by Journey

9 More days!!

When evil's afoot, and you don't have any arms, you've got to do a little leg work. And when evil's ahead, and you're a little behind, you've got to stay hip. You've got to keep on your toes! You've got to kick a little--
- The Tick

Ive decided to open each post with a humourous quote, well just so long as i have humourous quotes to place there. Yeah so that little concept should last all of about 3 posts but hey its something to do, and its not like ive got anything else better to put there. Going into day two here for this 5 day weekend, great fun is had by all mostly due to the sleepage. Speaking of stuff thats sleep inducing.. on with the post!


Went to HMV yesterday (finally) and picked up my much searched for and coveted Journey CD. yes i know im an odd one but hey its a good album and well yeah i bought it. Sad though that they didnt have the very best of sting (me being the only person that i know of who actually likes his music) but hey at least they had the best of phil collins so its alll goood. So yes im sure that you will be seeing a great deal more journey songs up there in the songs of the day, that being due to the fact that ive been listening to that album; not to say thats all your going to see because ive also started listening to the Beatles anthologies again, great great music.

I was rather bored last night so my thinking was Heeeyyy Lets rent some movies. SO thusly i went to Rogers and got what was a Double Team of Bill Murray greatness with special guest Gene Wilder. (aka rented Osmosis Jones, Lost in Translation and Young Frankestien). Started off the night with osmosis, which is a pretty funny movie but defenetly better suited to an older audience (jeeze i could easily see kids getting freaked out in that one) but the idea and concept was cool enough to make up for any of its shortcomings. Next followed Lost in Translation, which as you might recall i had mentioned wanting to see it yesterday. I had no idea that it was out on video already but loe and behold it was so rented it i did. And let me tell you, this movie was pure and utter refined greatness. It was witty, thought provoking, original and somewhat quirky which is all the stuff i just love in a movie. Bill Murray was great in this film, showing that he could be funny if he wanted to but just didnt feel like it (that and the scene with the masseus and the "rip my stockings" should shurley go down in history as a classic moment in film). After seeing the movie though i am now very confident that Murray should win every award he has been nominated for with that role because its just that damn good. DAMN GOOD!!
I then moved on from that slightly quieter, more though provoking movie to a film that i almost pissed myself from laughing so hard. This of course being from the comedic genius that was Young Frankestien. It is by far now my favourite Mel Brooks movie, mostly due to the great acting from Gene Wilder (dr frankenstien), the guy who played igor (dont remeber his name) and a hilarious cameo by Gene Hackman. Just the god like comedic timing of everyone in this movie, the great facial expressions, how deadpan Gene wilder did most of the stuff; it just all combined into a truly great film. (this of course having alot to do with how hard i laughed throughout the entire 106 min. and believe me i havent laughed this hard for almost a year). hoooo boy i still start chuckling when i think of that movie ("walk this way master.. no this way!"). good good fun was had by all last night.

Well thats basically all i did yesterday, other than learn some new songs in Guitar and buy a book but im pretty sure that no one is really all that interested in that. Oh and btw Jenn, its great to know that you "Have no money to go to a money" but well besides the fact that it makes no sense (and gave me a good laugh this morning) just remeber as the French say "Ta mère en short!" or in English "Your mother out of shorts!" hehehe, sorry i find that funny. Yet again something that no ones gets and makes no sense at all but hey so sue me!
Yeah so im done,

Yurkos song of the day: Times Like These- by the Foo Fighters

11 more days!

Opening paragraph!!
.. yes thats it, moving on

Yay long ass weekend!!!! Time for much celebratory action, hell of alot of sleep and catching up on shows that i really should have watched. yes so let us get to the talkage.

Today was off to a reaaallly bad start let me tell you. Firstly i had planned to ditch out on what is the gayness of early morning band and instead go work my ass of in swimming; which although far more work that yurko usually suffers through is much more fun (for me anyways) but yes that was the plan; plan being the keyword. So i go to sleep around 11 last night only to awaken at 6am, that being 15min until im supposed to be at the pool and ready to swim so all that im thinking is "there is nooo fucking way i can eat, awaken and get to foothills in 15min." That being the case i end up going to Band which was a gong show in itself; reason being well its stuff for a course that i had planned to drop anyways so anything involved with it has become moot in Yurkos list of priorities. Only reason im not going insane is due to the excellent company found in said class, that being jenn victor and janelle. But yeah its their witty comments and banter thats keeping yurko from standing up calmly, emmiting a high pitched scream and running out of the class. Well that and the hilarity of making fun of this stupid gr 11 kid who we dubbed the special ed kid, who has now been allowed to walk without his helmet. Mean sounding i know but maaannn it was funny. yay for friends and such.

On a slightly connected note my anger towards dez and erin has simmered down to a nice thick consistency; suitable for a well made gravy or some other tasty sauce. (mmmm gravy with mashed potatoes; damnit now im hungry). Ive also decided that to keep things interesting and to keep them on their toes that for the time being, and the forseeable future ill remain on speaking terms with dez. Yes i know shes been the subject of a great deal of rage but ive decided that well ive known her for a while and well she is NO WHERE near as annoying as erin {grrrrrrrr} albeit never will i become as good of a friend with her as i was before all this crap (refer back to yurkos mind not easily forgetting grudges) but i figure that well i do sit beside her quite a bit in band and well to make my life easier the odd comment/talking wont hurt. Plus it has the added benifit of having erin, whom sits right beside her to see that ive gone back to talking to EVERYONE but her.. hehe ooohhh the ironic evil fun. Oooohhh i love it; although now i really wish i had a handlebar mustache to stroke manically in steriotypical evil villian fashion. good fun, good fun.

Watched probably the funniest (due to the HORRIBLE acting) weirdest and somewhat intriguing movie today in social. It is entitled The Wave and is about this social studies teacher in the states who to prove a point basically turns his class into a junior nazi party. Sure the movie had a good message at the end of it all but come on; you would think that one of these kids would pick up on the fact that ummm maby our hand salute looks almost exactaly like what the nazis did or if not even that i would think someone would pick up on the armbands which looked veerrryyy similar to the ones the nazi's wore. Whats worse is appearantly it was based of a true story. Gotta question the school systems down there in the states which allow their teachers to basically mess with the minds of their students (poor Robbie, when will he ever fit in?). But hey who knows, maby its just the fact that it occured in california, all that sun cooking their brains; among other things of course. So yeah, odd movie i tells yah, probably would have been better had they gotten actors who actually had a slight shred of talent and didnt just ham it up but hey what ya gonna do.

Well im basically done for the day, didnt really have a great deal to talk about anyways so yeah im off to enjoy what will be probably a very relaxing; if not boring weekend. On that note if anyone wants to do something this weekend like say see a movie or something (damnit why is lost in translation not playing anymore; i wanted to see that) give me a call, and by call i mean talk to me and by anyone i mean maitland or jenn; you two being the only ones who really read this site.
wow, that made no sense

Yurko's song of the day: Let it Be- by The Beatles

Allo, welcome to another post.

Yes i have decided to cut out the introductory paragraph, seeing as how they have all became basically the same damn thing post after post. So now its been moved to the second paragraph!!! hehheee.......

Not gonna be along one again folks, mostly because not a great deal has happened in the last little while. Long weeked coming up though (5 days!!!! whoooo) so im pretty damn pumped about that. Wheter or not im actually going to do alot during those days off i do not know but hey anything is better than school. (minus well a few things actually but thats not the point). Should be a rousing good time though, fun for the whole family and such and so forth.
New Scrubs on tonight, of which i am very pleased considering that Michael J Fox is guest spotting on it, which should bring a huuuge amout of comical genious with him. Makes me sad to think though how they ended spin city, cause that was one damn good show. But hey one must press on in the face of new and funnier things. So be sure to check it out, 8:30pm on channel 3. WATCH IT!!!!!

What else to talk about.. Oh good news, HMV finally called so that means that my "special order" as the coined it is in. So yay for Yurko who finally gets to listen to what is in his opinion Journeys greatest album, that being the last one made with Steve Perry (Trial By Fire). But yes, once i actually head on over and pick it up im sure that more of their songs will be showing up on my songs of the day, for good or bad. And if you dont like it well then Tough Crackers! (compared to my usual expression of tough beans, but then again no one likes a gassy person so crackers will do)

Yay for the grammys giving the Beatles their well deserved Cudos. Them probably being THE MOST influential musical groups in the last 50 years. Say what you will about who is the best etc (aka maitland) but no one can deny the effect that they had on the public consiousness, helping to make rock music (for good or bad) what it is today. Because without the beatles, what would groups like The stones or Led zepplin or AC/DC have had to build on an improve, that answer being nothing. Yes i really do like the beatles so BEATLES=ROCK GODS!!!!!!!!!! (not so cool though with sting and his butchering of beatles songs; siigh poor sting, why cant you just stick to what your good at? that being regaee infused rock ala the police{which mind you is great listening})

A big Triumphant cheer for what i believe is the culmination of operation piss the hell out of people on who my rage is aimed (Extended title of piss the crap out of Dez and Erin). Yes so as you know for the last 20 odd posts ive thrown in random snippets of my rage directed at these two which as of late has finally culminated into one big seething mass of anger, large enough for me to actually do something about. This being the case i decided to go with the short and simplistic silent treatment, always effective and requires very little effort on my part. But yeah that has been going on for about a week now (actually started around the chem exam part B) so maby longer than that. Today though i think was the final kick in their respective keasters though, coming in the form of a double snub within 15min of each other. Ahhh it was great i tells ya, pure greatness of a very dastarly evil manner. Basically them and victor (of whom i am still good friends with) were talking so i come up to them, look at Dez (moreso look through her) walk almost past them and then turn and only acknowledge victor, in a very jovial; humour filled manner that is usually the case with El Yurko (those bastards dont deserve any of my good will, no siree). So yes i could tell their disgust and anguish so after that i decided to continue my walk, trying to find maitland and jose and vince as i always do evey morning. Eventually finding Vince we end up walking back in their direction so it occurs to me to go for a round two. so i walk over and start chatting it up with victor over the social, total ignorage of erin and dez even though erin called my name etc. My guess is they were pretty peved about the double whammy considering that now they dont even try to talk to me anymore, this being a good thing. So yes all is good, although its occured to me that yes they did do some crappy ass things (aka try to muscle Jen and Janelle out of me and victors friendship, act like asses to me and then pretend they never did) but maby i did take somewhat of a hardline stance. Meh what ya gonna do, this being one of those things that once you get to a certain point its impossible to turn around and go back (like stepping of the plank and landing on a shark). This being the case, even if I wanted to tread back into less hostile waters, considering im pretty sure todays snubs were the finale it aint gonna happen. Life must go on; although its too bad Jenn decided to skip out today (that being spare) so she missed out on what was a nice moment of revelry which im pretty sure she would have enjoyed.

Just got back from dinner at this Italian restaurant up in crowfoot for my moms birthday. Daaaammmnnn that was some good seafood pasta, what with the shrimp and garlic sauce... *drool.....
damn now im hungry again. Well thats basically the jist of what i had to ramble about today, that and im really really Reaaalllyy fuckin tired (which sucks considering its only 8:16) {stupid ass excercise, why must you tire out mein body soo much} soo methinks that i shalt end this here blog now that its reached a nice happy length.
Stupid spell check for this thing, wanted to replace Janelle with sanely; how the hell does that make any sense AT ALL??? The answer being it doesnt. Oh and I must say Jen that im dissapointed, first ditching out on spare and then now you havent commented on a post? Jeeze usually i can rely on you to put up some type of comment before the next one comes up, and the last i did on saturday night? siiggghh im starting to question you groupie status.

Yurkos song of the day: So Lonely - by The Police

Allo allo, welcome to a late night saturday posting on Yurkotheboring. Wow that was almost a rhyme, im almost impressed with myself. Ive came to realise (yes again) that these intros are very very pointless so im considering cutting them entirely; doubt i will but the consideration is there.

What to talk about.. hrmmm.. Well for starters im considering re-joining up with the swim team. Originally i didnt join this year because im a lazy bastard and i really love sleep but then i realised that excersise is a really good thing mostly because im horribly out of shape. Second everyone who was on the team last year keeps bugging me to rejoin, stupid ass peer pressure; but hey as you know im a lazy person, faaarrr to lazy to resist. Siigghhh back to very early wakeups. So just be warned that if you see yurko for the next while in the halls he will appear like the living, walking dead but more tired and incoherent.

Just got back from a friends birthday party, was fun but not the most fun ive ever had. That probably has much to do with the fact that there wasnt really a great deal of people to talk with, sure jose, maitland and gman were there but no one new so its kinda hard to be interested in something when theres nothing new and exciting. It was fun though when everyone was really into that cranium game, and before people started drinking and playing, which made it rather odd; but then everyone lost interest and that got real boring real fast. Lastly the fact that most everyone else was drinking but i wasnt probably had something to do with it. I will admit that im not really a drinker, come to think about it the last time i really drank was when i was in cuba so yeah its not that big of a deal. But still something was lacking so ill be like the states and blame it on alcohol. yeah so all in all it was kinda like purgatory (for anyone whos seen that episode of family guy) not bad but not great, just okish.

Hey it was something to do on a saturday night which is more than what i usually do but i digress. What should i digress about i do not know, that was basically it in terms of what i had to talk about today. Well i did go with the family and see that culinary school open house at sait, it was pretty neat what with the chocolate sculptures and all. Its kinda saddening when you think about it though that they put that much chocolate and sugar into something but no one is going to eat it because its "art". Hell if i made one of those i would soo eat it after, but then again if i was a pastry chef i would most likley be 850lbs, that and bald but the baldness has to do with other things.
Todays song is a good one folks, well if you like a carribeanish type song then i say you should get it. Kinda fitting of my mood at the moment, Yurko being slightly on the lonely side; lack of female companionship in the form of a relationship and all. But hey it would probably be more stress and work that i need right now but regardless the thoughts and mood remain the same (isnt it great how your brain can be both rational and totally emotion driven at the same time?)
Oh yeah, also went to that Eidelviess (totally spelt that wrong) village type store thing with the family after the chocolate dealie. Wow did that place ever ooze Germany. I tells you, constantly while in that store i was almost so overcome with it all that i felt like slapping on some leiderhosen, swig a big tankard of heiniken around and go invade some small neutral country.
...
yeaaahhhh weelll im clearly done for tonight, gonna go see how pathetic the episodes of SNL and Mad TV are so

Yurkos song of the day: Boys of Summer - by either Don Henley or the Ataris

Hey hey, ahoy hoy and all that junk and nonsense and welcome to post number 26. Yes i know ive put up two minor ones in the last few days but they really dont count; were more for me trying to get the whole music downloadage working but as of yet i havent been able to iron it out. It would appear that your going to have to continue to acquire my songs of the day though your favourite pirating source that or if you see me online ill be happy to send you the mp3. But yes on to whats probably gonna be a shortish postage dealie!

Hmmm what to talk about. Well firstly ive been happily promoted up to a desk now in English, up from the gulag that was the table beside the teacher, not good fun there i tells ya. Speaking of english been doing a heck of alot of reading comprehension tests latley; not all that bad but if have to read ONE MORE DAMN THING about sense and sensiblilty which i swear is the biggest load of crap in literary form since some idiot named shakespear decided to pick up a pen (in case you havent noticed, im not a big fan of the bard). Ok im exaggerating there, the biggest load of crap would be Dinner at the homesick restaraunt Now thats a crappy book. Other than that though english should be fine up until the boondoggle that is yurko writing an essay commenses.

Physics is well physics, what more can be said? Albeit im starting to think that i really should have stayed in the AP stream considering that the pace of the class is driving me insane! That and the fact that i appear to be the only person in that entire class who understands anything and are forced to answer basically every single question pullen thows out. Siigghhh... ah well at least it makes me feel smart so thats always a plus.

Social is probably the best thus far, that having mostly to do with the fact that i really like history and such. The course will probably get really dull once we get into the whole economics part but thus far its been pretty fun and the only class ive looked forward too every day. Plus having what i think is a really good teacher will probably have much to do with that (Jenn will disagree with this point but hey i stand behind what i think {well not literally considering much of what i think has a funny odor to it and well i dont want to be there when the winds shift}) Silly Musolini; what with his funny chin and eyes and all.

Yes well not a great deal occured this week, was very uneventful so hence the lack of anything really to talk about. Not liking this whole grading of my posts there Jenn, makes it feel like i have some sort of "Standard" to live up to or something and well im faaarrr too lazy for that. I must say though that operation Snub Erin and Desiree is having very promising results. Im curious as to how long they (specifically Erin) will continue to try talking to me, calling my name etc before they get pissed off and leave me alone. I had expect this to occur much quicker but as today will show that is appearantly not the case. Stupid people, thinking were all "friends" and all, well let me tell you something, Yurko has a really good memory for stuff that pisses him off and he doesnt forget easily no sir. I dont forget grudges at the snap of a finger nor do i forget behavior that is totally assinine and insulting. On that note im not about to go and tell them why i are pissed because if they take their behaviour that lightly that they dont even remeber then whats the bloody point of even trying to be friends?

So yeah im done for today, gonna go play something cause no one at all is online to talk to. Stupid people and their doing stuff on fridays; BAH! to them. Albeit tomorrow night should be rather interesting, but hey it will be something to do. Yes well i will talk to you all again sometime and btw Janelle contrary to popular belief the Gestapo were not a book or something. Might want to keep that in mind if you hope to pass social 30 :P

God damn lycos, shutting down my site that i was using to allow for the pirating of music. Yeah so as you can probably tell the link below doesnt work anymore and so yeah no downloading of music. I will continue to try to find another site or something that will allow me to do this but dont keep your fingers crossed. Heres hoping and all that, was planning on putting up an actual post but this is currently taking up most of my time so probably wont be one till friday.

Yurkos song of the day: Down Under- by Men at Work

Waffles to everyone out there in the greater worldish area, and welcome to a 25th posting on my site. Wow, 25 thats like bi-centennial or something; and to occur on groundhogs day even; what are the chances of that?!
Yeah i dont know what a small rodent has to do with my 25th post or predicting the weather for that matter but hey its something to talk about.

Yes anywho, today was a rather interesting day ill say that much, for one thing youve got the total crapfest of physics (which btw i really should be working on but whose gonna make me?) Dont you just hate it when teachers tell you to do something during class like say a review exercise and everyone expects that its just for practice etc and then at the end of class hes all like "Ok you can hand in your worksheets over here." stupid ass and his marking of junk grrrr
English we wrote an incredibly easy vocabulary and reading comprehension test. i must say thank god for all of the reading that i do otherwise it probably would have been much harder. See kids, it pays to read! Social was just social, which i find both fun and a joke course (that being the fact that amoung the other oddities i have, i actually find history interesting but we wont delve into that right at this moment thanks). Kinda dragged abit but the attempts at drawing maps of europe turned out quite funny, or as Victor and I so artfully put it "Like someone gave Europe Gangrene and stretched it out on a rack"

Oh before i forget, as promised todays Song of the day is in honour of Jackies ability to now go on her schools trip to australia. So heres to you jackie (and for that matter Gman) you luck son of a bitches, have fun out in the outback.

Gah, kinda pissed off about some stuff though. That being mostly the assinine behavior of Desiree at lunch (yes i know usually i dont mention actuall names but right now im pretty damn pissed). What the fuck was her problem, Oooohhh look at me whispering about yurko while he's sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. well arent you just a funny son of a bitch, thinks so highly of herself now that she has that fatass of a boyfriend of hers whos sole ambition in life is to put new headlights on his peice of crap honda accord. Stupid pricks, and then they keep going on even after I look at them and comment, Victor looks at them and comments aannd neil looks at them and comments. If your going to insult me at least have the balls to say it to my fucking face, especially when im RIGHT THERE!!! But nooo they'd rather be all "sneaky and cute" and whisper amongst themselves instead, because as stated earlier appearantly its a fuckin laugh riot to make fun of yurko and then not even have the guts to say it to him. Pricks i tell yah, fuckin pricks..


Well now that all that rage has been happily vented out of my system let us move on shalt we? As stated earlier, Yurkos been having some thoughts about a certain member of the opposite sex. Well after overhearing certain comments and opinions and after reading certain comments and their opinions not to mention certain blunt and direct answers to certain specific and equally blunt questions (to the extent of "No") for the time being im not going to tell this particular person anything about how i are feeling. So for the time being these feelings will remain locked within my mind, milling about; until they are released in a loud burst of embarrasment followed by being shot down and dying, resulting in yet again a sad yurko. Soo barring this person figuring this out upon their own for the time being ill just stick with what is a good friendship and see how the semester goes, good or bad.

Thats just about it for today, so have a very happy and jolly Groundhogs day (or a very literal one, hehe good old foxtrot); and i shalt talk to use all later
