A promise is a promise. Instead of ranting about school and whatever else manages to pop into my mind, I'll dedicate this entire blog to those that have supported me over the past ten five or six years. Whether I met these people on TV Tome, TV.com, TVRage.com, 6 Star Wrestling, or whatever other websites I used to visit, they all deserve my acknowledgement.

If for some reason, I forgot to include you in this, don't feel bad. The amount of people that I have met online over the past few years is pretty ridiculous. With each user name I include, I'll write a short description of how I met that person and whatever thoughts I have about them. For easier navigation, I'll list each user name in alphabetical order. With all that being said, sit back and enjoy.

-Cybrus-: I've known Cy for over three years now. We met when I joined his forum, 6 Star Wrestling, which has since become one of my favorite message boards to visit daily. He's a terrific administratior and is easily one of the people I respect most on all of the internet. Due to the fact that we share a common interest in professional wrestling, I most likely will not lose contact with this guy any time soon. Thank you, -Cybrus-.

andrew: One thing that I appreciate about Andrew is that he constantly posts on my blogs. I'm pretty sure that I met him while posting on TVRage's "Main Forums". Thank you, andrew.

agent_0042: I met George back when I first started TV Tome. As far as I can remember, he's one of the first guys that I ever came across on the website. He's easily one of the best guide editors I've seen in my entire life. Unfortunately, I've lost contact with George over the past few years. He was a great friend that definitely won't be forgotten any time soon. Thank you, agent_0042.

ArcticNinja21: Arctic's been a close pal of mine for a while now. I must have met him on TV Tome, as well. He played a big role of posting regularly on my Entertainment Galore forum before he closed. However, since I shut down that website, I haven't talked to him too much lately. I'm pretty sure that I have his e-mail address somewhere, so I hope to keep in touch with him in the future. Thank you, ArcticNinja21.

AsakuraHao2004: Due to our common interest in Shaman King, Ryan and I were bound to meet each other eventually. I met Ryan on TV.com about two years ago. Since then, we have occassionally talked on AIM, MSN, and Google Talk. Thank you, AsakuraHao2004.

Bloo_Lazlo: This guy sort of took off from TV.com in 2007, but I talked to him a lot while I was an editor on the website. A nice kid that's definitely worthy of note. I doubt I'll ever talk to him again, due to the fact that he pretty much mysteriously disapeered. Thank you, Bloo_Lazlo.

BlueMario1016: During my huge Donkey Kong Country phase at one point, I crossed paths with BlueMario on Retro Junk. After giving up watching cartoons regularly, I pretty much lost contact with this guy. I would occassionally talk to him on AIM and I always found our discussions enjoyable. Thank you, BlueMario1016.

bryanoftoons: I believe this guy got banned on TV.com, a while back. Our mutual love for Viewitufl Joe got this relationship started at one point or another. I haven't talked to this guy in a few years, but he was pretty cool. Thank you, bryanoftoons.

Burner101: A real cool guy. We shared a lot of common interests and communicated a lot throughout TV.com in past years. He almost always comments on my blogs and is overall, awesome to chat with. Please send me some e-mails, man. I'd love to keep in touch. Thank you, Burner101.

ChrisG0522: Hands down, probably the strangest dude I have ever met on the internet. After being banned several times, he started going under the name "Chris G". I'd love to say that I knew his real name, but he would never tell anyone. All I can say is that he was one of my best friends at one point, but then he turned into a real douchebag. I could go on forever talking about him, but he doesn't deserve my time. Nevertheless, thank you, ChrisG0522.

cindy: Like Andrew, I came to know Cindy through posting on the "Main Forums". She also consistently comments on my blog entries, which I can't appreciate enough. Thank you, Cindy.

creesummerfan: I still talk with Beau from time to time, usually through our LiveJournal pages. That will be coming to an end soon, too, though. I was introduced to him from another friend of mine during the TV Tome days. Overall, a great person to talk to. Thank you, creesummerfan.

Dark-Messenger: After becoming a professional wrestling fan, I met Donn. I still talk to this guy regularly and he's become one of my better internet friends. I can't say enough good things about him. Thank you, Dark-Messenger.

DarthKatanaX: What the heck happened to this guy? At one point, one of my best friends on TV.com. Then, he just vanished into thin air. I'd love to talk to him again, but that doesn't seem too likely. Hit me up if you're reading this now, DKX. Thank you, DarthKatanaX.

DaveJS124: Amazing editor and an even better friend. I haven't talked to him in a while, but our common interest in anime and Japan could definitely spark something up. Thank you, DaveJS124.

duskmon12: No idea where I met you, buddy, but I feel like I've known you for a while. Video games and Digimon always seemed to be a hot topic between us. Thank you, duskmon12.

FABULUZPHILLY: We talked sporadically when TV Tome was still around. Is it wrong that I never knew if you were a guy or a chick? Thank you, FABULUZPHILLY.

Firetears: I doubt that Ray remembers me anymore, but I used to talk to him on AIM all the time. We go all the way back to TV Tome. I doubt he will ever read this blog, so I won't say too much more other than that. Thank you, Firetears.

fittes: Luke and I talk regularly, even if we are living in completely different countries. I met Luke on 6 Star Wrestling about three years ago. At the moment, I'd say that he's one of my closer friends. Thank you, fittes.

gloobadude: Crazy, but great. That's all I'm going to say about this kid. Thank you, gloobadude.

holophonor: A pretty cool girl that somehow found about me. Ever since, she's been posting in my blogs. I don't know much about her, but judging by her avatar, she's a Futurama fan. Good enough for me. Thank you, holophonor.

Horseman_Dude: All I remember is that we had our conversations on AIM back when TV Tome was around. I'm pretty sure that he's still editing on TV.com or TVRage. We had our moments, I guess. Thank you, Horseman_Dude.

ilovemytv: Time in and time out, I try to e-mail Taylor on his Gmail e-mail address. However, he never sends me anything back. It could be the fact that he doesn't use that account anymore. We both loved Toad Patrol when it was around. Thank you, ilovemytv.

Jamminjake: Along with a few other guys, Jake is easily my best friend on the entire internet. I believe he was the first friend I had on TV Tome. It's been six years since we met. I try to talk to him as much as possible, whether it's on AIM or MySpace. Both of us have vowed to meet one another one day and I hope that day comes soon. Thank you, Jamminjake.

Jknight94: I met Jknight one or two years ago on 6 Star Wrestling. We both were active on TV.com at the time, so our friendship fell in place pretty nicely. Jknight doesn't post as frequently on 6SW anymore, but we always have some nice conversations when we chat. Thank you, Jknight94.

KingJohn23: After being banned from his forum for doing something stupid, I haven't talked to Randy since. We met on TV Tome a real long time ago. Thank you, KingJohn23.

Kirbopher15: Check out this guy's cartoons on Newgrounds if you haven't already. He's famous for creating "TV Tome Adventures". In fact, he even based a character off of me called "Orbit". Kirb's always been a strange guy. Every time I try talking to him, he pretty much ignores me. I tried, I guess. Thank you, Kirbopher15.

Krazykraz01: I have no idea where Craig went off to, but he was one of my first friends on TV.com. We had some wild discussions together. Nintendo games were just one of our many common interests. Thank you, Krazykraz01.

Lionheart08: I can't say enough good things about Lionheart. Despite the fact that he was around on TV Tome, about two years back, I really started getting to know him. We were a tag team together in an e-federation, eventually even winning the SWF Tag Team Championships. A great guy that I still keep in touch with on 6 Star Wrestling. Thank you, Lionheart.

Matt_Purosky: The best friend a boy could ever have. Matt's one of the first friends I ever had on the internet. I'm pretty sure that he could say the same about me. Despite knowing this guy for over five years, I don't believe we've ever got into a fight. I hope I never lose contact with you, Matt, as you've made a big impact on my life. Thank you, Matt_Purosky.

MegaXiaolinBell: I haven't heard from this guy in years. In fact, I don't even know if he still visits TV.com regularly anymore. Pretty cool guy, to say the least. We shared a lot of common interests. Thank you, MegaXiaolinBell.

OneRadicalDude: I think this guy's a moderator over on the Toon Zone forums these day. We talked frequently on AIM back in the day, but I haven't spoken to him recently. I can only wish him the best; he's a great person. Thank you, OneRadicalDude.

qfrodri85: Another one of my best friends on 6 Star Wrestling. Not only does he like wrestling, but he also likes a lot of the same movies that I enjoy. If you don't know this guy already, get to. Thank you, qfrodri85.

Ralphecution: We have a long history together, even if a lot of it is streaky. Together, we won the SWF Tag Team Champions in an e-federation. Yeah, the same strap I won with Lionheart. Out of the blue, Ralphy got himself intentionally banned from 6 Star Wrestling for flooding the board with adult content. After he did that, I pretty much lost connection with him. Other than that, I can't say much. Thank you, Ralphecution.

Rebel-Man: There are a lot of times in my life when I see myself looking up to Chris. He's always been there for me and I've pretty much always been there for him. We met on TV Tome one day and I haven't lost touch with him sense. One heck of a human being, I'd say. Thank you, Rebel-Man.

Resist_or_Serve: My memory's a little shaky on this member, but his user name seems awfully familiar to me. I remember possibly exchanging blog comments on TV.com at one point or another. Nice guy, I'm sure. Thank you, Resist_or_Serve.

sailoryue: I remember sending Yue messages on AIM every morning before I went to school back in middle school. In fact, I believe we even edited the Butt Ugly Martians guide on TV Tome for a while. Since those days, I haven't talked to her since. Matt introduced me to her on TV Tome, I believe. Thank you, sailoryue.

Silver_Sword_14: I remember talking to SS14 occassionally on AIM about various guides on TV Tome. At one point, I'd like to believe that we shared a pretty strong bond on TV.com. However, as of this blog, I haven't talked to him in a real long time. Nice guy. Thank you, Silver_Sword_14.

Sora392: Hands down, my greatest internet friend of all-time. I just can't say enough good things about this kid. We first met after plotting to dethrone a horrible editor of the Shaman King guide on TV Tome. I've had thousands of conversations on AIM with Jonathan. In fact, coincidently, I just talked to him last week about Shaman King. Go figure. I could go on forever about how great this kid is. Thank you, Sora392.

sparkyjanie: At the time that I joined TV Tome, Beyblade was my favorite cartoon on television. It turns out that Janie was one of the people that regularly posted on TV Tome's Beyblade message board. I still talk to Janie from time to time. She's a great person with a big heart. Too many good things to say about her. Thank you, sparkyjanie.

SPDShadowRanger: Another TV.com friend of mine that I got to know by posting on many of the forums that he ran. I'm pretty sure that SPD is still an active member of the TV.com community. Thank you, SPDShadowRanger.

stoogefreaky: Erica is awesome. I first got to know her by posting on the Astro Boy forums on TV.com. Then, I began reading her blogs almost always. We seemed to have common insights on a lot of different things. I talked to Erica on MySpace in November last and she seemed to be doing fine. Glad to hear it. Thank you, stoogefreaky.

TapOutAngleLock: The guy that made me want to head to Philadelphia's University. We both are interested in majoring in journalism and are huge wrestling fans. I think that it will only be a matter of time before the two of us meet in real life. I talk to him on AIM about once or twice a month. Thank you, TapOutAngleLock.

telvisnostic: I must have met her through the Ring of Honor forum on TV.com. She has been posting comments on my blogs for years now. Any wrestling fan is a friend of mine. Thank you, telvisnostic.

Travaro: The founder of the Cyber Tiger Anime website is also one of my closest acquaintances. I've known Trevor for almost six years now because we both used to post on the Beyblade board on TV Tome. Man, do I feel old. I actually just talked to him about two days ago on MSN Messenger. Thank you, Travaro.

TraverseTown: I would like a certain thing and so would he. Common interests brought us together. Just a real nice guy that will always stick out in my head. Thank you, TraverseTown.

TVTome_Shadow: Jose and I go a while back. I believe he was the editor of the Beyblade guide on TV Tome at one point or another. We used to talk about all sorts of things on AIM. I haven't chatted with him for about a year. I feel like I've said that a lot. Thank you, TVTome_Shadow.

XiaolinPrincess: She used to always post on my blogs. It looks like those times have come to an end, though. Back when I used to be obsessed with Xiaolin Showdown, we had a lot to talk about. Thank you, XiaolinPrincess.

Looking at the clock now, writing all of these things took me close to two hours. I had to cut out a few user names for time reasons, so if yours is not included in the list above, that's probably why. If you know me well and I forgot you, then I sincerely apologize.

Since I have Friday off from school next week, my final blog will most likely be posted next week. I will be sure to include contact information, thoughts on my future, and a whole bunch of other goodies in there. Better head off to work now. Thanks for reading, guys.

For some reason, I have off from school today. Every teacher in my town needs to go to some big conference, while the kids get the day off. Works for me and everyone else, I guess. Since I have the day off, I'd figure that I'd write a quick blog entry.

I finally got my Wii hooked up yesterday. I haven't been able to play video games for more than two months because of all the damage that happened to my house when the pipes bursted. Yesterday, I started "Career Mode" over with Paul London in WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2009. God, I love his shooting star press in that game. It's pretty sick. For personal reasons, I don't think I'm going to buy another Wii game until A Boy and His Blob is released.

The Nintendo DS is now gaining some interest again, as Pokémon Platinum was released yesterday. I'm currently contemplating whether I should buy the game or not. I had a blast playing Diamond a few summers back. I haven't watched the anime in a while, but playing the game could definitely bring my interest back in it. We'll see what happens, I guess.

The final episode of Kyle XY aired last Monday. It's more than obvious that they were planning on going for at least one more season. Unfortunately, poor ratings forced the show into cancellation. I'm a little bummed out, but it is what it is. I just started watching the new series, WCG Ultimate Gamer on Sci Fi. So far, I'm enjoying it a lot. You've got to love that Dante kid. Also, I've been keeping up with the new episodes of South Park on Comedy Central.

I've got a couple more weeks to bring up my grades until third quarter officially ends. For those of you who are wondering, I got a seventy-five percent on my last math test. The class average was a seventy-two, so I can't say that I'm angry. My research paper on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is also due soon. I should probably be typing it up now, but I figured that I'd write a blog entry, instead. Oh, well.

Spring track started last week. So far, I don't think I'm doing too bad. I wish that I could get into better shape quicker. Last year, it took me a few weeks to become one of the team's best sprinters. This year, I think it may take me a little longer. By the way, I've decided to try hurdles. If I end up stinking at that, then I'll go back to the eight-hundred meter dash. I've got practice today in a few hours.

It's official. I will be going to Philadelphia in mid-April. My father bought the tickets, a few weeks ago. We will be seeing a Phillies versus Padres game while we're there, as well. The two schools that I will be going on tours with are Temple University and Drexel University. Without a doubt, this is probably the trip that I've been the most excited for in my life. Yeah, even more than France.

Paul London is currently my favorite wrestler. I was contemplating about choosing Paul London or Davey Richards for a while, but I eventually went with London. I have already picked up his Ring of Honor "Best Of" DVD, WWE tee-shirt, and pre-ordered the show where he makes his PWG debut, "Express Written Consent". I have also ordered a custom action figure of London in his new attire. When you work, you have a lot of money to throw around. Instead of continuing on with my SCW diary, I have started up a modern-day PWG one, instead. So far, everything's going great.

Two more blogs until I'm done here. I don't know how many of you guys know this, but I post my blogs on TV.com, TVRage.com, and my LiveJournal account. Over the past two or three years, I have made some terrific friends on all three of these websites. Heck, my best ones were made on TV Tome. My next blog will be a complete dedication to all of my acquaintances since 2002 (when I joined TV Tome). My final blog entry will be about where you can contact me if you'd still like to keep in touch and all that nonsense.

I haven't got the slightest clue when I'll get an urge to type up my dedication blog, but I'd expect it some time soon. Hopefully, within the next week or so. Thanks for reading, everyone. Let me get back to work on this research paper.

With vacation ending tomorrow, I'm starting to feel my anxiety kicking in once again. Believe me, that's not too far from normal for me. I've got less than a month to bring up my grades, as the quarter finishes up towards the end of January. Instead of venting on school, though, I want to dedicate this entry to what I did over vacation.

Starting after Christmas, I quickly completed FaceBreaker K.O. Party. I honestly didn't get too much pleasure out of playing this. I somehow managed to beat the game, despite hardly knowing how to use the controls. The character I beat the game with was Spin. I tried completing the game again with a character named Tiki, but failed miserably about half-way through. That's when I decided to give up on playing that game.

I went over my aunt's house one weekend and decided to bring my DS with me. You never know when you're going to find yourself bored. I played through Mario Party DS as Yoshi there. The next day, I completed the game in a little less than an hour. I actually really liked this game and thought it was quite fun. I don't see why IGN had such a big problem with it.

My mother then had to take home my grandmother back to New York. Instead of deciding to take the trip back with her, I saw The Wrestler with my father in downtown Boston. For those who haven't seen the movie yet, it's really awesome. Aside from Rocky, it could be my favorite movie of all-time. I'm not just saying that because I'm a professional wrestling fan, either. I think my father liked it just as much as I did, too, and he's not a fan of the sport. It was extremely depressing, though, but the film did its job of telling a realistic story.

The flick somewhat influenced me to begin picking up WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 for the Wii. So far, I've beaten everyone's "Road to WrestleMania" mode except the Undertaker's. I'm working on his right now. I've also got to beat "Career Mode", but that's not really a priority of mine. I plan on completing a good portion of the game some time today.

My cousin just recently got engaged, so my aunt decided to throw her a small party at their house around 5:00PM today. Thankfully, we'll be leaving there early because my sister has to go to CCD class. Aside from watching television, there's honestly nothing to do at their house.

About two or three days ago, the wrestling website I write for shut down. The webmaster is in Israel right now, so we all don't know what's going on. Whether the website's down for good or just temporarily, no one has the slightest clue. Personally, I'm hoping that we'll get an update on the website's status some time this upcoming week.

Speaking of professional wrestling, my obsession with CHIKARA has pretty much died down. I'm slowly starting to get back into the WWE product, as well as ROH's. My current favorite wrestler is Bryan Danielson. I even ordered the ROH DVD, "Tokyo Summit", the other day because I wanted to see Danielson's title match against Kanemaru. I've heard great things about it so far, so I can't wait to check it out, myself.

That's pretty much all I've got to get off my chest about what happened over my break from school. However, before I end this blog, there's one more thing that I'd like to bring up. There's a girl in the grade below me that I really like. I know this is wrong, but I've never met her before. She's just really cute and seems to have a great personality. I know at least a couple of my friends like her, as well. My cousin even appears to be good friends with her. I don't know if I should introduce myself, or wait until the time is right. Girls, any advice would be great. I appreciate it.

That's all the time I've got for now. I promised my math teacher that I'd look over a test that I did poorly on, so I better get on that now. Then, I want to get back to playing WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 before I go to my aunt's house. I hope that you're all having a great 2009 so far. Later, people.
