Yurkos song of the day: Psycho Circus- by KISS

"I thought she was a sandwich"

Salutations of a greeting sort to all of you with whose eyes you are now parusing a read of this "fine" site. Comin at ya with a rather dull and tired tuesday night post. I apolgize in advance if this makes little to no sense as for the fact that i am running off a cold, 3 hours of sleep and currently doing a physics lab (whooo.....oo...o). Err yah, so im not exactaly on the happy side of insanity as of now so we shalt see where this goes eh? Regardless the irony is not lost upon me about how i stated it would be a short post last one but turned out to be a big monster of a snooze fest in typed format. Oddly enough ive realised that usually when i say it will be short they tend to be mostly on the long side; my theory is that usually i say short when i am bored and since when i am bored i tend to ramble on more than usual...

rammblleee... yah i had thought up a few things to say on todays post but rather conveniently i seem to have misplaced those thoughts; methinks i need to get a better filing system but hey those cost money. So yah, stupid colds; i swear there is nothing in the world that i hate more than a god damn cold, especially when its just starting to get damn nice outside!! Well ok racist idiots rate rather hight up there on the list but still colds are evil, pure unaltered evil! Although a mild cold that only affects me during the day i can live with but the kind i have now i cant in any way shape or form. Dear god, sleep is crucial to the yurko machine and when something makes me stay awake for god knows how many hours last night it is not cool at all. Lazy ass immune system if i wasnt so lazy i would whip it into shape.

I must say that guitar lessons are a mixed blessing, sure the songs are a great deal of fun to play/learn (makes me feel intelligent of cultured or something "Gawrsh paw i ken play me an instuiment") but the whole pressure of the upcoming exam not to mention all the scales and such needed for it is not so cool. Sadly though its one of those things that one must suffer through, grin and bear it etc considering that it was my choice to take the damn exam (stupid yurko). Alas, anon etc. etc. Damn rest of everybody now learning the guitar, it used to be one of the few things that made yurko uniqe; the whole fact that he played the guitar but now taht everyone else is doing it i just seem to be yet another follower. Sigh.. of course im not claiming that i am some form of guitar virtuoso, in fact its my opinion that im not all that good but still its disheartening to ahve someone like victor who goes and picks it up and after a year can play circles around me (well if one could play circles around anything).. Damn him and his modesty too.. "oh im not that good.." bull shat idiot, but hey i cant complain that much; im sure that if i sat in my basement and just played my guitar in all of my free time for a year just like he did i would be just as good as him..... hmm thats going nowhere so time to switch lanes!

yah well im basically done for today, other than a mention of yet another "Proud" Yurko moment, its right up there with the face football folks. But yah basically ive decided that next time i am to participate in any form of a waterfight i must be sure to wear kleats, well that or not make random sharp turns when i am clearly gaining ground on whomever is chasing me. Not cool slightly twisted ankles though, nor realising that somehow doing a faceplant/happy slide in the grass leaves on with some nice scrapes across the chest. Stupid physics, not having the test today.. Stupid social essay tomorrow... Stupid, gay and utterly crappy Anne Tyler English book, i swear to god if i ever have to read another piece of shit by her i will scream, cry and then burn the book, damn Saint Maybe...hmmm oh yeah; yay for Ringo Starr and his uttering of todays great quote, sure alot of its hilarity is lost if you havent seen the film but damn i like it.

Yurkos song of the day: Born to be Wild- by Steppenwolf

"Comedy's a dead art form. Now tragedy, that's funny."

Waffles everyone with a saturday night post from the Yurko of the boring nature. Just putting up this here post because well people want a new one (namley two people, mostly the only two people who regularly read this) so here i am making a new one, although life of late has been rather boring so using my magical powers of telling the future i forsee this being a rather short post.

.. yeah err anywho bored yet again on a saturday night; which i have realised has become a rather cliche thing for me to talk about but meh its not like i have anything else to say really. Well that and the fact that as of late (as jose or jenn will attest to) my brain has been crapping out some rather large and stinky verbal diarehhia (yay lack of spelling skills). This of course being those moments when immediatly after you say something your brains just like "hooolllddd on a second, this makes no sense." or "what the hell did i just say??" etc etc. Regardless it makes for yurko looking like a rather large idiot but hey ususally it gets a good larf so i guess its a trade off (not a very good one but still a tradeoff).

As stated above, been rather bored as of late mostly because i dont know but all the stuff that i used to be able to waste a rather large amt of time with aka the computer, tv etc. i have found rather boring. Basically because well no one seems to be on much anymore to talk to which was what i usually used to spend time doing (talking to ppl and such) so yah without people to talk to, makes for a rather boring internet. TV has been a bore mostly because all the show i watch are either not showing new episodes for some reason (Angel, Las Vegas, Smallville etc) or i can never remeber when the hell they are on (Law and Order: Criminal Intent). Mostly though its just because the current crop of tv is well crap. Now usually if im that bored that tv is not interesting i would normally play that metal gear game that i got but sadly i finished that this weekend due to the incessant boredom that was today....
wow a whole paragraph on why lifes boring... sorry bout that

Finally finished the god awful tiny novel, which is a good thing because no longer will my hands hurt trying to hold the damn thing but no more strain on the eyes; yay!. A rather good book though, considering it focused around Death who is one of prattchets more amusing charachters in the series. But yah a good read although still doesnt top my personal favourite by him, that of course being Small Gods; comon how can no one like a good book that pokes some fun at organized religion while raising a few good points along the way. Well that and the whole last section with Om talking is genius but hey if you dont know what im talking about Read the damn book!. Reading.. its daammnnn good for ya

Hrmm what else to talk about that no one will care. Oh yah, just thought id mention the fact about how saddening it is when youve seen all these varying good movies or shows or songs or books etc but no one else has. This is always a thing that bites because well then there is no one to talk about it with. But hey its not my fault its just all of your collective faults, damn bastards. On that note, everyone should go out and rent Lost in Translation, yes i know ive already rambled about that a while back but i realised that its such a damn good movie and no one has seen it (well minus neil, kudos to you sir); but yeah its billy murray at his finest so take a look.
Finally i just thought that i would mention yet another movie that no one has seen/lay more allocades upon the greatness that is the beatles. I borrowed their movie Help from jenn last weekend but im pretty sure that i forgot to mention watching it. regardless ive came to the realisation that not only are they great musicians but dear god are they funny. Sure the movie has no real point and is totally silly but its a really great film, although my only complaint is that george harrison barley talks; i got the feeling that he could have been pretty funny but he just didnt want to. Regardless a totally zany, hilarious film that all should see (On that note, if i remeber next posts quote will be probably my favourite line from that film as uttered by Ringo Starr). Err yah well thats basically it, normally i would say something like gonna go watch my futurama dvds but alas ive finished those off as well so now ive got nothing at all to do... DAMN NO ONE BEING ONLINE!!!

Yurkos song of the day: On Any Other Day- by The Police

"Would you kindly shut your noise-hole?"

Allo all, here we are with yet another Jenn induced post on the site. It has occured to me as of late that i have had no idear how many posts im up to now. So of course me being well me i went and checked. Loe and behold this will make for my 42nd load of bull crap to spew forth from the rather odd portions of my brain that some might label as the "Creative" region (if by creative you clearly mean bored and/or insane). Regardless of what you call it, 42 is a hell of alot of times for me to sit down and type. Ah well its not like ive ever had anything else to do thats better (although that remake of metal gear soild is pretty damn fun.... why am i not playing that now.. oh right because jenn told me to put up a post but hey weve already gone over that).

Oh i have heard that the chatbox dealie floods most people with a bevy of popups when you click on the little bring up the chatbox link or something like that, so yah im trying to find a way to alleviate this but until then or if i cant fix it the best way to leave stuff on there if you really want to is to use the imput area that on the main site, which is found at the bottom of the chatbox because well for me at leas it doesnt result in any popups.

Ergo not a whole lot happend today in the life of yurko, more happened yesterday but first id rather state the little that occured today. Well today consisted mostly of waking up, eating, watching tv, eating, reading the damn hilarious yet sure to make me blind novel Mort, watching tv, attempting physics (and by attempting i clearly mean opening up my binder), watching more tv, playing metal gear soild as already stated and then well eating. The moral of the story kids? Either im a total loser or i lead a very bored life, take your pick i dont care.
Yesterday though was much more eventful. It being the day of maitlands birthday we ended up heading over to that grand prix go karting which was actually a hell of alot of fun (and suprisingly tiring). Took longer to wait for our turn to race than to actually race but hey driving marginally fast against your friends is always a great way to kill some time. Later in the day we ended up back at his hoose which kinda started off boring (well mostly because contrary to popular believe fighting with a dvd remote is not a blast and a half, sorry to break it to ya folks). So yah it turned out to be pretty fun. Oh i also came to the realisation that attempting to play every game on his Xbox with the language set to German adds a totally new dimension to the fun of any game, so that not only are you blowing the bujeezus out of your friends but now your also learning a new language! (Well moreso a language where everyone sounds like their shouting really fits for Unreal Championship, but then again learning "youve been fragged" in german probably wont be all that helpful anywhere). But yah after that i got effectivly schooled in foozeball by jose, although i did come back from a 7 point deficit to almost tie it up so no worries there. The real fun though was when we started up this pool tournament, well mostly because i didnt really know many of the people there and well im not known for my amazing social skills (see afraid of people) but yah somehow the mighty jose-yurko pool team was able to school all; and the fact that 3 of the games were won by sunk 8-balls does not in any way impy we lack skill, our lack of skill implies that we have no skill.....

Concordingly thats all i really had to say today, or tonight, or half past one if you live on some crazy part of the world where its half past one but then id have to ask myself why on earth are you reading this in which time i think you would ask the same thing. and now that ive made no sense at all...

Yurkos song of the day: Foolin'- by Def Leppard

"This is the best movie I've ever seen. It has a vampire and an explosion!"

Greetings salutations and such and so forth. yet another friday night post with Yurko being home alone doing nothing. Hence me coming on here to rant to no one. Good old no one, always not there when i dont need him. err yah

Annywho stupid Kim, such a ditzy idiot considering her wide range of insults are either to do with "being gay" "who says that" or something involving the fact that shes brown because everything naturally comes back to the colour of your skin (heavy sarcasm there folks). yeah well regardless today was pretty damn good i must say on Yurkos scale of good days. Firstly physics was a joke, boring but so damn easy (bloody pullen and his damn system of draw out each and every circuit). Spare was pretty fun, mocking Vino's amazing plan of inventing a "weightloss doughnut" yah well it basically made no sense when i heard it so i doubt it will make sense to anyone else. Regardless it was fun, had some good talkin with Jose and Jenn and such so its all good, esp now that ive discovered the greatness that is the Rolo "milk"shakes. The best part of the day by far though was in English; talk about the suprise of the century there folks. Basically we got those essays we wrote a while back well back and Mrs. Pacone comes up to me and says that my essay was phenominal, really well written and asked if she could keep it. Yah so somehow what i thought was a peice of crap that would be insulting to ones ass if utilized as toliet paper is actually a 90% essay. Man was i ever happy, plus the essay happily offset all the 70ish hamlet tests of late (damn hamlet). finishing off the day was social which is always good so basically it was icing on the cake. hmmm what else... Went and got a haircut which im sure no one cares about, went and bought Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (gamecube remake of the original metal gear solid) which is turning out to be some damn fun sneaky ass spy action, should give me a nice amount of amusement for the long weekend.

Only other thing of note today was heading to the library. See i did this because finally it called saying that the book "Mort" of which i have had on hold for the last 6 millenia is finally in. so Jubulantly i head down to the library only to find that the one copy of the book that ive been waiting for to read forever is the complete book yes but for some ungodly reason its puny as hell. Now im not saying small as in a short book because ive got nothing against reading a short novel, im talking puny as in dimensions of 3inches by 3.5inches. The books so bloody small it fits in my pocket for gods sake, more so that even my wallet! Of course me being the stubborn fool that i am decide to laugh eye injury/strain in the face and keep the puny ass munchkin sized novel because well its the principle of things; after waiting that long im damn well gonna read it. So if you see me squinting a great deal in the future now you know why.

Yeah well im done, considering no ones really talking whos on and well im bored. So thats all for tonight other than the realisation that ive made that well ive got a rather funny looking face/head (damn my ears and round headness). Of course this again being something NO ONE cares about i shalt shut up

Yurkos song of the day: Runnin' With the Devil- by Van Halen

"DAMN YOU OLD MAN!!"

yessirree folks this be yet another one of those posts known to a select few as "short". to the rest of you of course its know as "a crappy waste of my time, stupid yurko ifs hes gonna write something it should at least be long enough to warrant my time; damn bastard.." etc etc..... aaannnywho yah short one cause well nothin much to talk about.

Movin' right along yay for completion of the swimming. It actually wasnt all that bad, kinda dissapointed about how i did on the breastroke but hey its in the past so no worries. plus i survived all the events this year (unlike the year previous) so kudos to that. only downside is that no longer will i get the little amt of excersise that yurko greatly requires. on the upside however, i finally get the sleep that yurko so dearly requires and i am sure that everyone who knows me will attest i get kinda odd when im lacking of the sleep. Regardless tis done, hail some form of conquring hero or something.

Today actually turned out to be not as bad as previously predicted. The english reading thing didnt go to bad, flubbed a line or two but i got it in the end and suprisingly my voice came across as rather menacing, which i must say made me rather happy (now the real question is, can yurko act or does he just have a sore throat?). Yeah well appearantly i did good enough to warrant 15/15 on it so yays go to that, of course no way can i compare to what brian did but it turned out to be not that bad. What angers me tho is that i forgot that we also had to know the first 16 lines of hamlets "to be or not to be.." solioque (spelt that wrong but meh). yeah so that being the case and me not memorizing it i promptly blew that test all the way to the craphole. not a fun place down there but hey at least ill be able to make a much longer stay once i get my essay back at the end of the week (whoooo.....shoot me now)

Yeah somehow i was able to get all my soc done in spare, no thanks to jose and the damn milk bottle! hmm prob not a good sign that im so easily distracted. regardless i got all of that done, which was nice and i think i did a pretty good job on the quiz. (although im pretty sure "the mighty Hypno-Toads" {yes that is actually what i put as an answer, i was tired so sure me} is not a correct answer to one of the two parties involved in the rwanda crisis) but hey it all worked out to moderate sucess so thats good.
well i be done for today, that being all i had to talk about. So i will just re-iterate some key things; Beatles=rock GODS, Grad is going to bite seriously large chunks, Hitler was an idiot, and cafeteria onion rings cause cancer (well by cancer i mean a sore stomach)

Yurkos song of the day: Synchronicity I- by The Police

"Magic. Got it."

Ahoy hoy all, a short one today mostly cause i felt like bitching about the coming week and junk (hey sticking to the looking to the future slant ;) ).
anywho yeah i forgot to mention this but big thanks to Jackie for reccomending looking elsewhere for a good site template because well lets just say that without that advice the "new and improved" site would have been considerably more bland and well non interesting. So yah, cudos to u.
hmm what else can be said other than anywho.... err yah jeeze not lookin forward to the next 2 days. well first things first as u know ive got the load of crap that will be the swim meet. See i enjoy swimming per se but just like anything else, once competion gets involved all my incentive of doing it goes right down the proverbial crapper. Sadly im more worried about the fact that ive got a shat load of homework due wed that now has to be all done tonight due to afformentioned swimming. Basically it boils down to social and english. The soc isnt all that bad, considering well i like social and i cant see stuff on the UN making for a very hard quiz (after 2 yrs of model UN i would hope not). Whats gonna make wed hell is that weve got not only an english quiz on act 3 of Hamlet (which i can bs my way through like always) but this god forsaken piece of shit project. What is this u may ask? well that would be basically picking 5-7 lines from act 3, memorizing them and thusly getting up and bloody acting it out in front of the class. As im sure you all dont know, I HATE public speaking of any kind, and then you times that by infinity plus one when acting is tossed into the mix. jebus christ i am not looking forward to that piece of dog dung but hey im gonna have to do it regardless so why not just bitch and complain?
Also i have came to the realisation that grad is probably gonna bite, mostly due to the fact that everyone is putting such a god damn empahsis on it and when that usually happens it is of my opinion that it turns out rather crappy. Basically i find when no emphasis at all is put on anything its usually more fun; but nooo its "Grad" so all the shit of everything has to be put into it; and most of that has to do with finding a date for afformentioned grad. Well hey thats my own fault, but ive already griped enough about how i missed my chance by not going etc etc blah de blah and well i must hold to my promise of looking forward blah de blah. But yah basically thats all i had to say today, grads gonna bite, the rest of the weeks gonna bite, The Police kick ass (esp todays song, one of their finest i tells ya)

Yurkos song of the day: Brand New Day - by Sting

Greetings and saluations all to the new and "improved" site of Yurkos stupid rambling. As i am sure you can all tell the layout is considerable different from the site of old. I would like to think that its a little cleaner, more organized and rather snazzy but hey thats just my opinion talking. All of the stuff found on the old site are still lurking around on here, although my only complaint is that the archives to older posts that no one reads anyways now has to have a link to a separate site but hey thats life, what ya gonna do. ummm what else.. Oh yeah, the comments part (recently renamed "Potshots at Yurko" ) is now found at the bottom of each post instead of at the top, this being a part of this new template; so hopefully you people who dont comment anyways will remeber to say somethin there even if it is located in a different spot that before. All the old links are still there, neatly organized into my usless sites that I frequent and friends sites. Hit counter is still there, as is the pointless guestbook that no one ever signs and i never read (so why its there i have noooo idea but hey it is ). The only really major new thing minus the fancy colours to grace the site is the chatbox dealie on the right hand portion of the site. Appearantly its some other form of commenting or something, yet again its a thing that came with the new layout so if you leave a msg there ok but if not i wont really care all that great of a deal. Personally i would prefer if you leave your coments in the tired and true comment system found at the bottom of the post but hey there aint much that i can do about it.

well thats enough talking about just the superficial parts of the site, now on to the life of Yurko latley. Well first things first swimming is coming to a close finally (yay) because god damn does it ever leave me exhausted for the rest of the week. Not really looking forward to the meet but hey its a conclusion to the swimming so thats always a good thing. Umm went to the car show last night, was pretty good fun esp all the drooling over the cars that im not gonna be getting for a looonnnnggg while (if ever) aka the beautiful Porsche Carrerra or the BMW Z4 (which sadly i cant fit in, damn my hight). But hey it was a good way to spend the night (TITAN!!). erhem yeaaahh.
Currently my musical obsession has been that of the Police. Damn good music i tells ya, damn good. Gotta love the 80's New Wave. Only problem is that what with having only 5 albums it kinda limits the musical greatness to not as many songs as say the Beatles but hey i still enjoy it. On that note of music i thought id mention this one online petition that a friend of mines cousin set up. Basically its to try and get Rush to come to calgary on their latest tour. Now i must admit that im not really the worlds biggest Rush fan but hey if they were to come i would definetly go and see them (esp if i got free tickets) but regardless if u like them or not it would help if you went to the site and signed the petition because any name helps http://www.petitiononline.com/ilr2122/petition.html .

Well during this week and a bit ive came to a few realisations. Firstly a while back i had one of those moments of almost total clarity that can only occur at 2 am on a tuesday night when your trying to get some god damn sleep... but yeah anywho i realised that well basically what happens in the past cant be changed minus the advent of a time machine but somehow i doubt that will come around for a while if ever. regardless it was a rather clarifying moment for me considering that i had been doing a great deal of bitching over what i should ahve done, what could have happened etc etc. With this in mind ive basically decided that well that life and time keeps on a going no matter what i do and well its better to look towards what i can do than what i should ahve done. This in mind i just think that i should also state that well no longer do i feel remorse and/or anger towards what i missed out on doing waay back at jenn's party. He had the guts and drive to ask what i should have and well i missed my chance and he took it so for that i tip my hat. Happy about it? of course not but well theres nothing i can do about it, she made the choice and well it all comes down to what will happen in the future.

Pretty sure there was some other stuff that i had planned on talking about but the fact is i dont remeber, im getting a cold and im damn tired. So methinks im gonna go lie down and watch Futurama Season 3 (which i happily just got today, yay animated goodness). So yeah this is the end of this for today.

Yurkos song of the day: Bloody Well Right- by SuperTramp


9 Days and Counting


Monday, March 01, 2004

yeah well i said that there wouldnt be anymore of this for a while but thats pretty much a guarantee after the crap fest that was today, like wholey fuck on yurkos list of total shit ass days this my friends this is pretty god damn high on the list, pretty god damn high.
first and foremost the day was off to a not bad start, swimming was suprisingly fun but well it went downhill fast from there. god for some unknown reason i was so fuckin tired after swimming i could barley keep my eyes open and that was AFTER coffee. so fuckin tired, and having a sub in physics who was incredibly boring did not help.

what was the killer of the day folks was just some added crap onto what was already a stupid stupid moment in yurkos recent history, taht of course being what he did saturday night (or didnt do for that matter). yeah so i find out that of alll the things ALL THE BLOODY THINGS that could have happened at that party it had to be the one bloody fuckin thing thats gonna piss me off for a good good while now. dear fuckin god if there was ever a sure fire example of a missed oppertunity THIS WOULD BE IT. what makes it all the worse is that well no matter what i say, no matter how much i bitch to myself and others, it aint gonna change anything. talk about a great thing to start the week off with eh? bloody hell, bloody bloody hell; and what irony considering the discussion i had with tony on the bus to school. ah well victor i missed it, there aint nothin that can be done now might as well just wallow in the pissed off mood

to add insult to injury after finding out all that crap i had to write an english essay, which turned out to be the biggest turd crapped out on a piece of paper since i took a dump yesterday. god such a peice of shit, if i pass the written this year on english it will be divine intervention, no less. and then to top it all off i head to social which is usually a highlight of my day but what happens? i find out that the god damn map that i worked on for 4 fuckin hours on sunday wasnt complete. so i had to mad scramble to finish the god damn thing, bloody bloody hell.
so yeah after this shit i doubt ill be in any mood to do this anymore, just felt like getting this rage of my chest for today but yeah for the foresabble future this = fin
