Yurkos song of the day: Stagefright- by Def Leppard

"Poppa's got a brand-new bag... of fish!"

Heheheheh....hehehe..... oooh man im sorry but i just find this particular quote (from that genius the tick) extremly funny. Then again it might be that my brain is reaching the consistency of warm tapioca due to all the extreme amounts of thinking ive been forced to due this summer (see negative infinity). Regardless its amusing for I so therefore so shall it remain. No Neil my concept of a post every 2 days CLEARLY did not fail, i was just waiting for you to comment....yeeaaahhh thats it... a good story and im sticking with it. Really no ive just became rather preoccupied in boredom and well just havent gotten around to putting up another one. This plus all that re-arranging of furniture in my cave so that its easier to scowl at people who want to make contact with me takes up a bit of time on my part. Sigh well no one ever said the life of a hermit was easy...cause hermits dont say anything to anyone...no one....Bah!
On a side note finally finished watching Angel season one. Dear god i never knew how long it takes to really watch 22 episodes of anything. Well hey on to season 2 i guess which i should be able to skim through what with it being the time i started watching the show. Too bad season 4 doesnt come out till sept 7th which is when ill be in edmonton and not really able to buy anything such as a dvd set of a tv show esp when there is a little thing taged onto it entitled $62.99

Yes yes i know, back to the Def Leppard. But hey it sticks with the whole 80's theme of late with the music so why not? I was for the sake of originality gonna put up some Depeche Mode but i couldnt think of any of there songs at the moment (yay going senile). Still a rather good group though, some of the best of the whole New Wave movement back in the day. Of course that being said 10-1 no ones gonna like em but meh its my song of the day so if you dont like it you can go suck a lemon.
Sticking with music ive recently made yet another one of those rather pointless and slightly (and probably) boring thoughts about myself. This being the fact that ive been going over both most of the songs ive listed here in my songs of the day and those i consider my favourites and there seems to be somewhat of a rather odd trend. This being the fact that a great deal of them well deal with the whole subject of being in love, staying in love etc etc. and this fact streches over to basically ever genre of music so its not that im just listening to crap (ala insert whiney pop crooner here). Granted basically 8 out of 10 songs these days are based around the afformentioned topic yet its still odd all things considered this being a guy who is nice and lonley (hence hermit) and one would thing not really looking for songs that drive that point home. This being said i can think of a few songs that rate rather high which are pretty much the opposite (On any other day by the police coming to the forefront). Odd... hmmm well yeah like always i have no idea where im going with this so for the sake of everyone within a 25mile radius ill shut up.

Now on to the only thing anyone is probably looking for in this post. This being the recap of the preceeding posts rather sucessful (if i do say so myself) contest dealie. Wow i must say it ended up being a rather interesting jaunt which is always nice considering this summer seems to be very intrest free as a whole... dear god now i sound like a credit card ad... shoot me now. Aaannywho the biggest suprise out of all of this was Jackie coming out of nowhere to win the coveted first prize, sort of a Greeceish situation if greece had just shown up at the stadium expecting a concert and ended up winning the Euro Cup. With that said as i have told a few of you Jackie has graciously relinquished the "Fabulous" prize package that came along with the coveted title. Of course she retains the title and all the glory and power fortwith but this brings me to my second point. Since the first prize is back in my hands again ive decided that on the next post (hopefully in 2 days) this prize will yet again be up for grabs to whomever is the first to comment of course with a few exceptions. Firstly I would hope that jackie would not try to compete cause it would make me rather sad if you win twice for a prize you dont want jackie. Yeah so jackie if you see there hasnt been any comments just hold your horses for a second so i dont have a brain anyurism :P. The remaing two prizes do have actually recipients though, second prize i felt should go to Mr. Keith for a few reasons. Firstly his post turned out to be longer than yours jenn and plus his way of padding the length was far more amusing than the one you chose to partake in. Second he already owns most of the games found in the first prize so he has no really need for pursuing it and thirdly neils late entry although longer and filled with more quality, he choose to remain in the running for this reissue of the first prize so to keith goes the army men. Next time i see ya ill be sure to give em to ya. On that note tough since he has already won a prize Keith is also exempt from the reissue. The third prize, otherwise known as the illustrious "Thanks for Coming out Walrus" was a much tougher one to decide on. This one came down to the rather long winded and eloquent comments put forth by Mr.Maitland and the one named Jackie. Even though your rather noteworth effort and total and utter obliviousness to the situation was very well done maitland (worthy of a honourable mention for sure) i felt that being totally oblivious to the situation and somehow managing to win the top prize is more of the epitomy of the phrase "Thanks for Coming Out" Its not an easy task to win a contest that you dont even know exists and so for that reason Jackie is the recipient of the lovable "Thanks for coming out Walrus"
Now for those of you who didnt win prizes dont become disheartened as i am sure you will not because all of you are eligible for the reissue of the first prize coming up in the next post. Also considering that this seemed to be rather sucessful and somewhat fun i think ill do another one of these probably some time in august (sort of a last huzzah before i head off to university) with bigger and fancier (see slightly more expensive) prizes and possibly a few more awards than just the 3. Hooray Anticipation!! Hooray Responsible Drinking!! Hooray Beer!! (and if you dont get that click on that link in the previous post damnit!! or i might be forced to do nothing at all and i warn you i can be very furious when not in motion)

Till Next Ramble

The Amazing, Boring Yurko
