Yurkos song of the day: Soft Signals - by Limblifter

"I may be an evil genius, but I can't predict every giant lizard that might wander by"

Giant Brain Fart from this point onwards==>
Yet again my goal of somewhat regularity on this site has bit me within the ass which somehow regulates my ablility to think of stuff to talk about. I question the validity of there being an actual link between my ass and creative ability, well unless you count the fact that thats where it all comes from :P Moving on..

Another rather good modern group, hooray living in Rez and having people to inform me of good new music. It is nice to know that only a vast majority of the music industry is crap and not the entirety of it all. Indeed, such and so forth... blah my brain just doesnt want to write anything today.

Procured the latest Terry Pratchett book this week, Going Postal which thus far has turned out to be a rather good read. Granted when have i not liked on of his novels but this is beside the point. If your a fan i reccomend getting it much as i always do. Of course this just added to my scorn/hatred of chapters because it just reminded me of the fact that a book they claim came out at the beggingin of August (not the pratchett but another book by a diff author) they still do not have even though appearantly the rest of the world does. To top it off there blasted website still says that it should be stock in stores. DAMN YOU CHAPTERS and your lying ways... i will end you chapters...

Yeah so the US election is quite obviously over and it brought with it a very unsuprising result. What i find shocking is all of these Kerry supporters who thought that Bush wouldnt get re-elected. Comon people he is complete common denominator, and clearly had the support of most of the religious groups, gun toting farmers etc who are more likely to go out and vote than them city folk. I am personally sad that Nader did so poorely this election, but it just goes to show that a two party system the states is and a two party system is shall remain. No room for the mulit-billionare, educated little guy i guess. Honestly though i dont see why everyone is getting so freaked out etc that Bush is in power, nothing is really going to happen due to a few reasons. Firstly He IS NOT going to invade another country, in fact no one leading the US could right now. As formidable as there military is their resources are spead out far enough already with the war in Iraq, war on Terror and all the various other police actions, UN stuff etc that they are involved in to go and begin what would be a rather massive military campaign against say North Korea or Iran. Also they will never invade North Korea (or not for a while in any case) because of the simple fact that the South Korean's are looking more towards working on a peaceful relation with the North and much of the populace is dead set against a war on the North. Logistically it would be virtually impossible to stage a war on North Korea without support of the South, unless in some twist China allied with the states and decided to nuke the little nation off the face of the planet and if and when that happens i think we have a few greater concerns (like oh say the creation of one massive military power that could quite easily invade and control all the "superpowers" of the planet). As for Iran somehow i dont think the chiefs of staff are so stupid to piss of the greater muslim world even more by staging an invasion of Iran.
On another point what i dont think many people realise is that due to how the war in Iraq has been handled neither Bush nor Kerry is going to be able to pull the troops out for a long while. So even if Kerry was the president he would have esentially the same effect on the current war as Bush is going to.

As far as the economic condition of the US right now i personally dont know enough about economics and the various fiscal polices etc of the two to comment on that. So that being said ill move on and await your flaming retorts pointing out how im stupid/flawed/satan/unable to spell or punctuate.

I think ill just comment on the two comments and then call it quits. Well more or less in any case, first just a slight point on something that i realised this morning (?) Esentially the reason why i always request commentage from you good reader and also the reason why i still do this site is for one esential reason. This being of course for the fact that well obviously i am never going to get any random onlookers who have never met me personally, so this is esentially a writing for my friends. So basically i write this as a form of low response, slightly faster than actual mail conversation with you guys. For a few of you its pretty much the only way we correspond these days considering i havent seen a few of you online in a great length of existence, not to mention not talked to face to face since in most cases high school ended and at the extreme a good year and a half (possibly even longer). When you comment its a response to what ive said etc, keeps the dialouge going and well allows a semblance of staying in touch which is slightly importaint to well alot of things. Yaay ramble thats starting to sound odd so i digress.

Keith i totally agree that they should have ended it at 300 or possibly at the end of that season cause personally i always felt that 301 made for a far funnier episode. Saying that its just a cash cow now is totally on the mark (esp since theyve moved on to mastercard commercials from the old butterfinger ones). I heard of the infamous stewart appearance on Crossfire but i am yet to see it, and yes i have heard of and watched crossfire before. Frankly all of those shows are pretty stupid, small group of guys shouting there opinions over one another, never conceding anything and refusing to actually think of the other persons opinion. Crossfire is up there on the list of the worst, and after watching there brief snippets during the election coverage i totally agree that the moron in the bowtie is well a moron. Stewart is indeed at his prime, such a good show... Also i clearly pointed out later that i have no qualms with his liberalism on his show, its when a reporters opinion bleeds over into a supposedly nonpartisan news report that it pisses me off. Stewart doesnt hide from his bias and in a show of his format you cant fault the guy for it. Wow for once keith your info is totally flawed and on something to do with videogames no less. SHOCKING!! Considering the fact that neither system is out in japan yet and that the US gets the DS before japan anyways. To answer your question though i do plan to possibly get both systems, although obviously for me the DS will take priority. Now whether or not i have the money to get either or both is another question but in this case my obivous nintendo bias isnt really going to factor into my purchase because they both make for pretty cool systems in my opinion. Jackie, well lets face it Pt. 2 is the far more known portion of the song and although Pt.3 is a quality tune somehow it just doesnt compare (no kids chanting "we dont need no education..." comon what is this?). Pt. 2 for me just captures the essence of the song and all its coolness but meh its a matter of opinion and life will move on. As for my costume well it was rather half assed considering that due to my classes i missed out on the trip down to value village so that being said i ended up going as Steve Yzerman with an eyepatch (Yzerman...no eye...season ending injury...comon!!) yeah so it was slightly clever if your a hockey fan, still very half assed and most likely lame but i could honestly care less now and at that point for that matter.

Till Next Ramble
