Quote of the day: "I guess the difference is, when I sleep with someone for the first time, I don't want it to be for just any reason. I want it to be for every reason." -Dawson Leery

Webmaster Robbie from StevieRichards.com thought it would be funny to screw with others on the site by posting a post in code, with all the letters shifted one letter forward in the alphabet. I'm too nice to spoil the surprise on the Stevie message board, but I don't have any qualms about posting it on my site so here's the decoded April Fool's gag that Robbie had for everyone. I colored it white to make it a little more difficult to see, but if you're smart you'll figure out how to see the message. Check it out!
"Hey everyone
Well I got woken up at 330 AM by some crazy ass fan, it sucked.... so I am still up at this point in time. But anyway I wanted to steal something from the View Askew Page and use their coding process and screw with everyone's head.....
But I have a big announcement, everyone in the world liked the commentaries so much that we have been bought out by Microsoft, this came with perfect timing, a) it keeps Stevie away from Apple and b) it allows us to either become the new hosts of WCW Live or remain BJ and the Bear.
Man these April Fools Day jokes are out of control huh
Hey keep kickin' em
Robbie"

Mr. Mike's WrestleMania Predictions
Tazz & the APA (Acolyte Protection Agency: Faarooq & Bradshaw) w/Jackie vs. the RTC (Right to Censor: Bull Buchanan, the Goodfather & Val Venis) w/Steven Richards & Ivory
I see the Goodfather being the weak link, leading to his turn away from the RTC and back to his pimping, blunt smoking Godfather ways.
Who will win: Tazz & the APA; Who I want to win: the RTC
Gimmick Battle Royal: Brother Love vs. The Bushwhackers vs. Doink the Clown vs. The Gobbledy Gooker vs. Iron Sheik vs. Kamala vs. Michael Hayes vs. Nikolai Volkoff vs. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Typhoon vs.Earthquake vs. Repo Man vs. Hillbilly Jim vs. Kimchee vs. The Goon vs. One Man Gang vs. Duke "The Dumpster" Droese vs. Gillberg vs. Jim Cornette
I have no idea who the Hell is going to win this one, but it should be extremely entertaining. I don't expect any sort of wrestling classic out of this one, but I expect a lot of smiles. I would have to give the edge in this one to either the Gobbledy Gooker or Doink the Clown, since other wrestlers could be in those costumes. I would also give a bit of an advantage to Sergeant Slaughter, since he is easily the most recognizable member of the bunch. We can also expect to see other wrestlers in this match that have yet to be announced, perhaps even Al Snow spoofing some of his old gimmicks or Mick Foley's old gimmicks (ie Dude Love).
Who will win: I have no f***ing idea; Who I want to win: Sergeant Slaughter babay!
Test vs. Eddie Guerrero (European Championship)
They have not built this match up very much or very well. I see this feud continuing, with Test getting the rub of a victory over Eddie. Eddie has already previously held the European and Intercontinental belts (at least if memory serves) and I don't think he needs this right now.
Who will win: Test; Who I want to win: Test
Chyna vs. Ivory w/Steven Richards (Women's Championship)
I hate Chyna. I hate her in more ways than I could possibly list here. Rumors say that she is responsible for the Kat's firing and Jerry "The King" Lawler's subsequent quitting in protest. If this is true, I hope Chyna's ready to spent eternity rotting in Hell for being a bitch. But I digress.
Who will win: Chyna; Who I want to win: Ivory
Big Show vs. Kane vs. Raven (Hardcore Championship)
I see Raven retaining, while Big Show and Kane deal with each other and the inevitable Pete Rose run-in when he attacks Kane as he has at WrestleMania for the past several years. I also see run-ins by those who are not involved with WrestleMania officially yet. Big Show and Kane will probably go on to feud at Backlash as well. If any feud continues, this is the one I see being the most likely to continue. We could also potentially see the return of Raven's ninja friend, who was revealed to be Tori but hasn't been seen since her revealing.
Who will win: Raven; Who I want to win: Raven
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
The battle of the submission moves! The Crossface Crippler versus the Ankle Lock. I doubt either man will submit though, and Kurt will pull off the win with the Olympic Slam. This should be the most technically sound match on the card, and I'm definitely excited for this one. It looks to be the sleeper match, though many are anticipating it. I hope Kurt breaks someone's freakin' ankle tonight though.
Who will win: Kurt Angle; Who I want to win: Kurt Angle
Chris Jericho vs. WIlliam Regal (Intercontinental Championship)
I would love to see Regal win this and let Jericho move on, but I don't think the WWF will have him lose the title after his relatively short title reign, especially since Regal is also the commissioner right now. I see a potential Al Snow run-in as well, screwing Regal in order to set up a match for the commisionership at Backlash.
Who will win: Chris Jericho; Who I want to win: William Regal
Dudley Boyz w/ Spike Dudley vs. Hardy Boyz w/ Lita vs. Edge & Christian w/ Rhyno (TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2, Tag Team Championship)
This will probably be the most exciting match to watch. Who wants to take bets on how long Jeff Hardy has in his career? The Hardyz mentioned in an interview that they have a huge spot planned. Even Jim Ross said in his Ross Report that he's worried about injuries in this match. Other than the battle royal, I think this match is the most wide open. I can see any of these teams taking home the titles.
Who will win: the Hardy Boyz; Who I want to win: Edge & Christian
Vince McMahon w/ Trish Stratus & Linda McMahon (in wheelchair) vs. Shane McMahon (Street fight, special referee: Mick Foley)
This match means the most symbolically. It's father versus son, WWF vs. WCW, evil vs. good all wrapped in one. I see the women at ringside cancelling each other out to an extent, while with Foley as as ref I don't really see any way for Vince to win.
Who will win: Shane McMahon; Who I want to win: Shane McMahon
Triple H vs. Undertaker
This, after the Big Show and Kane feud, is what I believe to be the second most likely to continue. Undertaker is undefeated after a decade of destruction, and I believe it will stay that way.
Who will win: Undertaker; Who I want to win: Undertaker
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock
This is a fascinating main event. These two have cut some fantastic promos with each other, and we can see it bringing out the dark side in both of them. The interesting part will be seeing who succumbs to the pull. The Rock may have to leave to shoot the Scorpion King, the prequel to the Mummy and the Mummy Returns. In my ideal scenario, Stone Cold wins, turns heel, and Kurt runs out afterwards to break the Rock's freakin' ankle.
Who will win: Stone Cold Steve Austin; Who I want to win: Stone Cold Steve Austin
Tazz & the APA (Acolyte Protection Agency: Faarooq & Bradshaw) w/Jackie vs. the RTC (Right to Censor: Bull Buchanan, the Goodfather & Val Venis) w/Steven Richards & Ivory
I see the Goodfather being the weak link, leading to his turn away from the RTC and back to his pimping, blunt smoking Godfather ways.

My Answers
Sorry if I screwed up any of the spelling, I copied some of the lyrics from lyric sites and transcribed the rest so I also might have messed up some of it, but you'll get the point.
Are you male or female?:
"Call me good, oh, call me bad, so bad, just call me anything you want to baby! You see, I know that you're sad, so sad, so I can make you happy with the one thing that you never had 'cause baby, I'm your man!" -George Michael/Wham!, "I'm Your Man/I'm Your Man '96"
Describe your neighborhood:
"The weather is hot and girls are dressing less, and checkin' out the fellas to tell 'em who's best! Ridin' around in your Jeep or your Benzos, or in your Nissans sittin' on lorenzos... All the kids playin' out front, little boys messing 'round with the girls playing double dutch while the DJ's spinnin' a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion, then 6 O'clock rolls around, you just finished wiping your car down. It's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout, it looks like a car show. Everyone come lookin' real fine, fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon. Every moment frontin' and maxin', chillin' in the car they spent all day waxin'. Leanin' to the side, but you can't speed through, two miles an hour so everybody sees you. There's an air of love and of happiness."-DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, "Summertime"
How do you look?:
"I think I'm cute, I know I'm sexy! I've got the looks that drives the girls wild. I've got the moves that really move 'em. I send chills up and down their spine. I'm just a sexy boy..." -WWF song staff, "Sexy Boy (Shawn Michaels' Theme)
If you could say one thing to the person you like what would it be?
"I don't want Britney tonight, and Salma, yeah she's alright. I've seen Buffy and she don't slay me. 'Cause baby you're just the type, stay up and talk to all night. Would you be the star in my storybook life?" -Blessid Union of Souls, "Storybook Life"
Where do you wish you were right now?:
"Aruba, Jamaica, oo I wanna take ya to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty momma. Key largo, Montego, baby why don't we go, Jamaica. Off the Florida Keys there's a place called Kokomo. That's where you wanna go to get away from it all. Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand. We'll be falling in love the rhythm of a steel drum band down in Kokomo... Oo I wanna take you down to Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow, that's where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo. We'll perfect our chemistry..." -Beach Boys, "Kokomo"
What do you think about your best friend(s)?:
"We're drinkin' my friend to the end of a brief episode... I could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code... When I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me 'til it's talked away?... Thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear..." -Frank Sinatra, "One For My Baby"
Any words of advice?:
"Ladies and Gentlemen... If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it... Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth... You are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the future... The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with your's. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, its only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when theyre gone... Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Respect your elders. Dont expect anyone else to support you. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth. But trust me on the sunscreen"-Baz Luhrmann featuring some guy, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)"
What do you wish you were doing right now?:
"All I want is you to come over here baby... Now baby don't be shy, you better cross the line... I'm not just talking about your sexuality. I can't help myself when you put your hands on me. It's paradise when you and I can go skin tight. One on one I want to go on all night. I want to play the game with you baby."-Christina Aguilera, "Come On Over, Baby"... 'Nuff said.
What do you think about drugs and alcohol?:
"Man don't do it, it's not worth it to risk it. Don't even listen to Slim, yo, it's bad for you." -Dr. Dre, Dr Dre & Eminem, "Guilty Conscience"
If you could say one thing to your enemy what would it be?:
"Your mother, you f**king faggot!… You f**king homo... Tell me now what you gonna do... I was right there laughing when I heard the news, I just wish the cardiac would have murdered you... maybe Ice-T's right and you are a bitch... now you sound ridiculous, you dickless piece of shit, how could you diss me bitch! … But you're a homosexual... I'd hate me too if I was you, I'm what you used to be..." -Eminem featuring D-12, "I Remember"
What do you usually do on Friday nights?:
"I lie awake, I drive myself crazy, drive myself crazy thinking of you. Made a mistake when I let you go baby, I drive myself crazy wanting you the way that I do." -'N Sync, "I Drive Myself Crazy"
Are you for World Peace?:
"Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race. There are people dying, but if you care enough for the living, make a better place for you and for me." -Michael Jackson, "Heal the World"
How do you feel right now?:
"You can hardly wait to tell all your friends how his kisses taste sweet like wine, and how he always makes your heart skip a beat everytime he walks by, and if you're feeling down, he'll pick you up. He'll hold you close when you're making love. He's everything you've been dreaming of, oh baby... I wish you'd look at me that way, your beautiful eyes looking deep into mine, telling me more than any words could say, but you don't even know I'm alive… Baby to you all I am is the invisible man... I see you all the time baby... I wish it was me sweetheart, boy I wish it was me, but I guess..." -98 Degrees, "Invisible Man"
Who are you?
"I'm the kind of guy a girl takes home to mom, with pleated khaki pants, and calogne that's the bomb. I shake her dad's hand, and look him in the eye, and tell him, "Straight up, I'm just a regular guy. (I'll have her home by nine sir!)" Well I'm a regular guy, who stays out of trouble. A regular guy, says "Ma'am, on the double! (Let me get that for you, ma'am!)" And I'm a regular guy, just like Dawson's Creek, a regular guy, just don't call me a geek… I watch Jay Leno (He's funny!), and Seventh Heaven too, and I ask myself sometimes, "What would Jesus do? (Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.)" I bond with my mom, and I hang out with my dad. (He's my buddy!) I play everything safe, so I'll never be sad (Boo hoo)… (Don't push me!) Dammit, sometimes I wanna smash things up! (Stop pushing me! What are you looking at! I'm in a boy band, a boy band!) Get jacked up, and whacked up, and have to pee in a cup!…" -Mickey Parke, 2Gether "Regular Guy"
What is your secret?
"I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby!" -Wheatus, "Teenage Dirtbag"
What do you want to be?
"MTV... mother f**ker." -Sublime, "Don't Wanna Be No MTV Mother F**ker"
What can you do?
"I gotta go 'cause I got me a drop top, and if I hit the switch I can make the ass drop." -Ice Cube, "It Was A Good Day"
What don't you do?
"Big pimpin'" -Jay-Z, "Big Pimpin'"
What is love?
"Well, one day, when you least expect it, the right girl will come into your life, and everything will be OK, and we will buy that ranch that we always talk about..." -Milo, Prozzak "Introduction To A Broken Heart"
What is friendship?
"Through it all, she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong; and down the waterfalls, wherever they may take me, I know that love won't break me when she comes to call, she won't forsake me..."
Are you strong?
"You gotta fight to be free, you gotta fight for what is right."-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, "Count On Us"
What are you afraid of?
"Living alone, I think of all the friends I've known, but when I dial the telephone, nobody's home. All by myself, don't wanna be all by myself... All by myself, don't wanna live all by myself..." -Eric Carmen, "All By Myself"
What would you tell the one who loves you?
"If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever... I asked the skies just what we had, it shone forever... If the song I sing to you could fill your heart with joy, I'd sing forever... Forever, forever! I've been so happy loving you..." -John Stamos and the Beach Boys, "Forever"
What do you want to do?
"Girls. All I really want is girls." -Beastie Boys, "Girls"
What do you want to say?
"When the music fades, all is stripped away, and I simply come, longing just to bring something that's of worth that will bless your heart. I'll bring you more than a song, for a song in itself is not what you have required. You search much deeper within, through the way things appear. You're looking into my heart. I'm coming back to the heart of worship. It's all about you, it's all about you Jesus. I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it, when's it all about you, all about you Jesus." -Sonicflood, "Heart of Worship"
Who do you love?
"Now this hot girl, she's not your average girl, she's a morpharotic dream from a magazine, and she's so fine, designed to blow your mind, she's a dominatrix supermodel beauty queen! I dream about a girl who's a mix of Destiny's Child, just a little touch of Madonna's wild style with Janet Jackson's smile. Throw in a body like Jennifer's, you've got the star of my liquid dream. Angelina Jolie's lips to kiss in the dark... Looks ain't everything, she's got the sweetest personality, like Halle B." -O'Town, "Liquid Dreams"
What would you like to tell your parents?
"If you want my love, help me heal the pain in my eyes..." -SoulDecision, "Ooh It's Kinda Crazy"

"We're drinkin' my friend to the end of a brief episode... I could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code... When I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me 'til it's talked away?... Thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear..." -Frank Sinatra, "One For My Baby"
Any words of advice?:
"Ladies and Gentlemen... If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it... Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth... You are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the future... The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with your's. Floss. Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, its only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when theyre gone... Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Respect your elders. Dont expect anyone else to support you. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth. But trust me on the sunscreen"-Baz Luhrmann featuring some guy, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)"
What do you wish you were doing right now?:
"All I want is you to come over here baby... Now baby don't be shy, you better cross the line... I'm not just talking about your sexuality. I can't help myself when you put your hands on me. It's paradise when you and I can go skin tight. One on one I want to go on all night. I want to play the game with you baby."-Christina Aguilera, "Come On Over, Baby"... 'Nuff said.
What do you think about drugs and alcohol?:
"Man don't do it, it's not worth it to risk it. Don't even listen to Slim, yo, it's bad for you." -Dr. Dre, Dr Dre & Eminem, "Guilty Conscience"
If you could say one thing to your enemy what would it be?:
"Your mother, you f**king faggot!… You f**king homo... Tell me now what you gonna do... I was right there laughing when I heard the news, I just wish the cardiac would have murdered you... maybe Ice-T's right and you are a bitch... now you sound ridiculous, you dickless piece of shit, how could you diss me bitch! … But you're a homosexual... I'd hate me too if I was you, I'm what you used to be..." -Eminem featuring D-12, "I Remember"
What do you usually do on Friday nights?:
"I lie awake, I drive myself crazy, drive myself crazy thinking of you. Made a mistake when I let you go baby, I drive myself crazy wanting you the way that I do." -'N Sync, "I Drive Myself Crazy"
Are you for World Peace?:
"Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race. There are people dying, but if you care enough for the living, make a better place for you and for me." -Michael Jackson, "Heal the World"
How do you feel right now?:
"You can hardly wait to tell all your friends how his kisses taste sweet like wine, and how he always makes your heart skip a beat everytime he walks by, and if you're feeling down, he'll pick you up. He'll hold you close when you're making love. He's everything you've been dreaming of, oh baby... I wish you'd look at me that way, your beautiful eyes looking deep into mine, telling me more than any words could say, but you don't even know I'm alive… Baby to you all I am is the invisible man... I see you all the time baby... I wish it was me sweetheart, boy I wish it was me, but I guess..." -98 Degrees, "Invisible Man"
Who are you?
"I'm the kind of guy a girl takes home to mom, with pleated khaki pants, and calogne that's the bomb. I shake her dad's hand, and look him in the eye, and tell him, "Straight up, I'm just a regular guy. (I'll have her home by nine sir!)" Well I'm a regular guy, who stays out of trouble. A regular guy, says "Ma'am, on the double! (Let me get that for you, ma'am!)" And I'm a regular guy, just like Dawson's Creek, a regular guy, just don't call me a geek… I watch Jay Leno (He's funny!), and Seventh Heaven too, and I ask myself sometimes, "What would Jesus do? (Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.)" I bond with my mom, and I hang out with my dad. (He's my buddy!) I play everything safe, so I'll never be sad (Boo hoo)… (Don't push me!) Dammit, sometimes I wanna smash things up! (Stop pushing me! What are you looking at! I'm in a boy band, a boy band!) Get jacked up, and whacked up, and have to pee in a cup!…" -Mickey Parke, 2Gether "Regular Guy"
What is your secret?
"I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby!" -Wheatus, "Teenage Dirtbag"
What do you want to be?
"MTV... mother f**ker." -Sublime, "Don't Wanna Be No MTV Mother F**ker"
What can you do?
"I gotta go 'cause I got me a drop top, and if I hit the switch I can make the ass drop." -Ice Cube, "It Was A Good Day"
What don't you do?
"Big pimpin'" -Jay-Z, "Big Pimpin'"
What is love?
"Well, one day, when you least expect it, the right girl will come into your life, and everything will be OK, and we will buy that ranch that we always talk about..." -Milo, Prozzak "Introduction To A Broken Heart"
What is friendship?
"Through it all, she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong; and down the waterfalls, wherever they may take me, I know that love won't break me when she comes to call, she won't forsake me..."
Are you strong?
"You gotta fight to be free, you gotta fight for what is right."-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, "Count On Us"
What are you afraid of?
"Living alone, I think of all the friends I've known, but when I dial the telephone, nobody's home. All by myself, don't wanna be all by myself... All by myself, don't wanna live all by myself..." -Eric Carmen, "All By Myself"
What would you tell the one who loves you?
"If every word I said could make you laugh, I'd talk forever... I asked the skies just what we had, it shone forever... If the song I sing to you could fill your heart with joy, I'd sing forever... Forever, forever! I've been so happy loving you..." -John Stamos and the Beach Boys, "Forever"
What do you want to do?
"Girls. All I really want is girls." -Beastie Boys, "Girls"
What do you want to say?
"When the music fades, all is stripped away, and I simply come, longing just to bring something that's of worth that will bless your heart. I'll bring you more than a song, for a song in itself is not what you have required. You search much deeper within, through the way things appear. You're looking into my heart. I'm coming back to the heart of worship. It's all about you, it's all about you Jesus. I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it, when's it all about you, all about you Jesus." -Sonicflood, "Heart of Worship"
Who do you love?
"Now this hot girl, she's not your average girl, she's a morpharotic dream from a magazine, and she's so fine, designed to blow your mind, she's a dominatrix supermodel beauty queen! I dream about a girl who's a mix of Destiny's Child, just a little touch of Madonna's wild style with Janet Jackson's smile. Throw in a body like Jennifer's, you've got the star of my liquid dream. Angelina Jolie's lips to kiss in the dark... Looks ain't everything, she's got the sweetest personality, like Halle B." -O'Town, "Liquid Dreams"
What would you like to tell your parents?
"If you want my love, help me heal the pain in my eyes..." -SoulDecision, "Ooh It's Kinda Crazy"

My Love Life
Or lack thereof... I f***ed up with an amazingly special girl I met named Kelly. I don't know if it would have grown to be anything more than an awesome friendship, but I perhaps pushed things a might fast (though probably slower than most guys) and scared her away. I'm currently trying to patch up our friendship, but only time will tell. There's no way I'm going to find a girl as sweet, kind-hearted, intelligent, cute, friendly and perfect as her for a long time. She also clicked with me on a personal level, enjoying the same things, including comics, cartoons, video games and much more. And she's a Christian, something important to me but hard to find in today's world where God isn't among the things we worship. Oh, and she had a Batman tattoo, which totally reeks of awesomeness :). We were getting along just smashingly until I decided, after peer pressure from a couple friends, to kiss her... and she got weirded out, since I'm the first guy who ever kissed her, and she's never been in a relationship before. She's the only girl who ever made me cry. I cried when I found out she was freaked out about the kiss, and I cried more when she sent her friend to give me the "It's not you, it's me" speech... or more of "It's not you, it's her" since she didn't have the heart to do it herself. I know that if we're meant to be together again it will happen, and I'll just have to wait and see.
Church
Yup, I went to church this week for the first time in a while. I have to admit that Kelly singing there was a strong draw, but I enjoy church. I went to the local Presbyterian Church, where Kelly sings in the monthly contemporary service in a trio, along with my ex-roomie Josh and his girlfriend Laura. Josh surprised me with how well he sang, because frankly, he didn't exactly come off as the singing type to me. Kelly has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. They did an amazing job and I thoroughly enjoyed the service, worship, sermon, everything.
Movie Reviews
12 Monkeys
I saw this one a couple weeks ago for the first time, definitely a fascinating movie, especially when you consider the time travel paradoxes throughout. There was a discussion at the theater afterwards about time travel from a couple professors, fascinating stuff. Brad Pitt picks some pretty good movies (He can be forgiven for the Mexican and Meet Joe Black), like Fight Club, Interview With A Vampire, 12 Monkeys and Snatch. Bruce Willis also totally rules in this one.
Song of the Day
'N Sync's cover of Janet Jackson's "That's The Way Love Goes"
One of the best covers I've heard in a long time, came as a complete surprise on the mtvICON special last night. I expected one of the medleys that 'N Sync is known for. However, 'N Sync did an entire music video tribute to Janet with an amazing rendition of a classic. I wish it would have been a little longer, coming in at just around two minutes, but I thoroughly enjoyed what there was. Grade: A-

A Very Special Post
This post was originally posted on the StevieRichards.com Message Board. I decided to put it up here in its entirety, because it expresses how I feel about the King, the bad guy/heel announcer on the WWF's A team of Jim Ross and Jerry "the King" Lawler, as well as on Smackdown. He left the WWF today in protest after his wife, Stacy "the Kat" Carter was released.
"Alrighty, here goes... As an upstanding member of society and an RTC wannabe, I didn't always support the King's often lewd comments, but I gotta admit, he was funny. He threw out one liners like no one else, and always provided the perfect foil to both Ross and Cole. And there's no way Tazz or anyone else could ever replace him.
Now about the Kat... From what I've read from a variety of wrestling news sites, she left due to disputes with management and the bookers over the whole RTC angle. Apparently things had been building up for the past two weeks, and Vince finally told Jim Ross to tell Stacey Carter that she had been released. I have the utmost respect for Lawler for leaving with his wife, although I hope some compromise can be reached that can at least bring the King back, if not Kat.
Now to the spoilers... After checking the Smackdown spoilers, Ross and Cole did the commentary for Smackdown... two faces doing commentary? Interesting. Our boy Stevie interrogated Mr. Val Venis and discovers that he's had sex with a woman who tempted him. Steven and the rest of the RTC rough him up, and Venis eventually comes out and talks about how horrible his former life was, and how he's going to try once again to leave that behind. They never mention her by name, but the assumption is that the woman was the Kat, so that's how they're going to explain her absence from television. Val even apparently cried during his speech. Mr. Richards and the rest of the RTC forgive him in the end though, and they have a big group hug.
I know I'm going to miss Kat and her kitties... but most of all, I'm going to miss you King. You were the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. It's true. It's damn true. God bless you. You will be missed."
This just in:
"Here is the official statement released by the webmaster of KingLawler.com
Stacy was released by the WWF this afternoon. In protest, Jerry Lawler has also parted ways with the WWF. The release came as a total surprise without any provocation whatsoever. As for the speculation that was reported on other websites, there wasn't any disagreement involving an angle.
Notes from the Webmaster - I talked to Jerry on the phone tonight. He informed me that they had a business meeting to discuss the angles and events that were to take place on Smackdown. They took a break around 2:00 and came back at 4:00 or so. When they came back, JR told Lawler that they had to release Stacy. King told JR and Vince that if Stacy goes, he goes also. There was absolutely no incident or provocation of any kind that lead up to this. Jerry and Stacy are trying to figure this one out as well.
Stay tuned for more details
There is definately more to this than meets the eye."

Movie Reviews
3000 Miles To Graceland
I enjoyed this movie. Kevin Costner should play more villain roles. They also kill off a large majority of the major characters, so there's plenty of surprises in store. David Arquette plays one of his best (though still goofy) roles yet. I also recommend Ready To Rumble, my favorite Arquette movie. Courteney (Did I spell that right?) Cox does a great job as well as a bitchy yet somehow endearing single mother. The kid is the real star of this film, he does a great job. It relied too much on excessive violence as well. Grade: C+.

Songs of the Day
Anything from Parappa the Rapper
I just love the music in this video game. You can get it off Napster. My favorite is the song from level 6, I think it's called something like "I Gotta Believe!" A very positive, uplifting rap number. The only song from this game I ain't too into is the one from level 5, because it's about going potty, and it's just kind of disturbing. Anyways, check it out yo! Grade: B
TV Reviews
2gether Season Premiere: Pirates
I loved the season opener for the new season of 2gether. They brought QT back in a great bit that remained true to his character, although it's sad to see him now that he's dead in real life. Be sure to check out 2gether, Monday nights at 10 on MTV! Grade: B+
Fear season premiere
The new season of Fear was OK, not up to previous episodes and hopefully they come back after this one too. It still instilled fear in viewers though, and had some cool new elements like secret missions. The grade would have suffered more, but these new features added some nice touches to the show. Grade: B-
Wrestling Update
No Way Out is upon us, so here are my predictions on what will happen!
WWF No Way Out Predicted Card/Information & Predicted Outcomes
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Triple H (2 out of 3 falls: Fall 1: Normal match, fall 2: Street fight, fall 3: Cage match): Stone Cold Steve Austin
I think Stone Cold will win this one because they need to wrap up this one to move into new, fresher storylines, like Stone Cold vs. the Rock. The only way to do this is to let the good guy (face) win. I think Triple H will win the first fall based on pure wrestling, but Stone Cold will beat Triple H in the brawling street fight. I think the cage match will be the most interesting fall, but Stone Cold, after throughly beating Triple H, will squeak out the victory in this match.
Kurt Angle (Champion) vs. The Rock (World Wrestling Federation Championship): Kurt Angle
Kurt will retain, though I bet he'll probably lose it before Wrestlemania. Rock is the way too obvious choice to win this one, and the WWF, at least lately, tries to avoid the obvious unless necessary to wrap up a storyline. Perhaps Kurt will finally get Rock to submit to that ankle lock submission hold. I definitely see some falls on both the Rock and Angle not ending it though due to the ref being out of commission.
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley vs. Trish Stratus: Trish Stratus
As much as I'd love to see the beautiful, radiant Stephanie pull out this victory, everyone is against Steph, so I'm seeing a run-in here that the ref misses. Either Regal, Kurt or even Vince could potentially run-in on this one. Kurt could run-in in favor of either side though, due to his love for Stephanie but his business relationship with Trish. The only other advantage I could see Stephanie having is Shane doing a run-in, though again, I don't know what side he'll be on if/when he comes back.
Dudley Boyz (Champions) vs. Edge & Christian vs. Kane & Undertaker (Tag Team Championship Table Match): Dudley Boyz
Come on. The Dudley Boyz have had the belts for only a month, and they are the masters of the table match. It wouldn't benefit the Undertaker and Kane at all to have the belts, as they're already monster, unstoppable faces. They'll get tied up taking care of either Edge or Christian and one of the Dudleys, and the other Dudley will put either E or C through a table.
Chris Jericho (Champion) vs. X-Pac vs. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero (Intercontinental Championship): Chris Jericho
Again, a man who has only had the belt for a month. This belt seems to have been passed around as much as the Hardcore belt lately, so they need to give it some stability. The only person I could possibly see winning this one from Jericho is X-Pac (boo) but hopefully not.
Raven (Champion) vs. Big Show (Hardcore Championship): Raven
Since all you really need to do to keep the Hardcore belt is to run away, Raven will retain, running from the much slower Show. However, this will not happen before the ninja gets her (his? Nah) mask ripped off by Show or Crash or Molly or one of the many other residents of the Hardcore division.
Jerry Lawler vs. Steven Richards (The Kat on the line: RTC won't stop Kat from stripping vs. RTC gets Kat): Steven Richards
The Parents Television Council (PTC) would eat the WWF alive if they allow nudity on one of their shows, even if it is Pay-Per-View. The ratings for the show don't show anything about nudity either. The only way I see Lawler winning is with someone else censoring Kat after Lawler wins, other than the RTC. Maybe Mark Henry making his comeback. We'll have to wait and see, but I find it highly unlikely.
Other potential matches, either on the Pay-Per-View or Heat:
Hardy Boyz v. Island Boys (Rikishi & Haku): Island Boys
Test (Champion) vs. William Regal (European Title Match): Test
I was happy to see Test on TV last Thursday, but geez, give this man a good Pay-Per-View match already!

The only other advantage I could see Stephanie having is Shane doing a run-in, though again, I don't know what side he'll be on if/when he comes back.
Dudley Boyz (Champions) vs. Edge & Christian vs. Kane & Undertaker (Tag Team Championship Table Match): Dudley Boyz
Come on. The Dudley Boyz have had the belts for only a month, and they are the masters of the table match. It wouldn't benefit the Undertaker and Kane at all to have the belts, as they're already monster, unstoppable faces. They'll get tied up taking care of either Edge or Christian and one of the Dudleys, and the other Dudley will put either E or C through a table.
Chris Jericho (Champion) vs. X-Pac vs. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero (Intercontinental Championship): Chris Jericho
Again, a man who has only had the belt for a month. This belt seems to have been passed around as much as the Hardcore belt lately, so they need to give it some stability. The only person I could possibly see winning this one from Jericho is X-Pac (boo) but hopefully not.
Raven (Champion) vs. Big Show (Hardcore Championship): Raven
Since all you really need to do to keep the Hardcore belt is to run away, Raven will retain, running from the much slower Show. However, this will not happen before the ninja gets her (his? Nah) mask ripped off by Show or Crash or Molly or one of the many other residents of the Hardcore division.
Jerry Lawler vs. Steven Richards (The Kat on the line: RTC won't stop Kat from stripping vs. RTC gets Kat): Steven Richards
The Parents Television Council (PTC) would eat the WWF alive if they allow nudity on one of their shows, even if it is Pay-Per-View. The ratings for the show don't show anything about nudity either. The only way I see Lawler winning is with someone else censoring Kat after Lawler wins, other than the RTC. Maybe Mark Henry making his comeback. We'll have to wait and see, but I find it highly unlikely.
Other potential matches, either on the Pay-Per-View or Heat:
Hardy Boyz v. Island Boys (Rikishi & Haku): Island Boys
Test (Champion) vs. William Regal (European Title Match): Test
I was happy to see Test on TV last Thursday, but geez, give this man a good Pay-Per-View match already!

Wrestling Update
With the WWF's No Way Out Pay-Per-View coming this weekend, they're going to be hyping it up with their flagship free shows, Raw and Smackdown! Today I'm going to comment on what I'm expecting for Raw and the matches that have already been signed. Tune in on either Wednesday or Thursday for my comments on Smackdown! and on either Friday or Saturday for my comments on the Pay-Per-View itself.
WWF Raw Card/Information and Predictions
Rock & Stone Cold v. Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit Rock & Stone Cold
Kurt Angle had an ankle lock on the Rock and Benoit had the crossface locked in on Stone Cold on Raw, so the faces need to get their revenge before No Way Out to make them seem worthy of their main event matches. Also, I still have no idea what Benoit is going to be doing at this pay-per-view. Perhaps we'll find out tonight, maybe through some interference in this match against Benoit by the Big Show or someone else.
HHH & Stephanie v. William Regal & Trish Stratus: William Regal & Trish Stratus
They haven't had an all out war yet, but Stephanie got in the first shot so the heels need this one to build up the feud. Also, Regal always has something up his butt kissing sleeve, so look for him to pull this one out. The only way I see HHH & Stephanie winning is by interference from Al Snow, hopefully the future commissioner!
Lita v. Dean Malenko: Lita
This is supposedly their last match, the one to end all, which means either the face (Lita) must win or turn heel and join Malenko. I don't quite see her going heel, though that would be a cool revelation, but look for her to come out with a clean win over Malenko. Lita will move on to the Women's title and Dean will hopefully focus on the Light Heavyweight championship he already holds.
Hardy Boys v. Island Boys (Rikishi & Haku): Hardy Boys
Rikishi & Haku seem to be receiving a push similar to that of Undertaker and Kane, and since they've broken that feud up look for someone to interfere in this match to give the Island Boys the heel win and the Hardy Boys some direction going into No Way Out.
X-Pac v. Eddie Guerrero: X-Pac
Look for X-Pac to get this win since he's just returned and needs to establish himself as a strong heel, also look for Justin Credible to be involed since he's apparently X-Pac's lackey lately.
Other matches: The Right to Censor/Right to Nudity feud will probably erupt into something much more epic tonight, with the cult aspect of the Right to Censor coming back stronger than ever. I expect someone else to fall under Steven Richards "look into my eyes" bit by Wrestlemania.... but more on that later. Enjoy the show!

This weekend is going pretty well so far. I went to see Sinbad last night, he was hilarious. I wasn't expecting much from a comedian we haven't heard much from since the early '90s, but he was surprisingly up to date, and adapted to the audience. He also encouraged us to start our own boy bands... If you get the chance, I would highly recommend checking out his act. I also want to apologize for not updating the page in a while, but I been bizzay, sorry! Anyways, have a nice day!
Always feel free to email me at JimmyRay5@aol.com.
Coming soon: TML (Total Mike Live) radio show on the internet! We'll keep you posted, check out collegemusic.com for more information...
Movie Reviews
I missed out on seeing any movies this week, but I have an important announcement: If Down To Earth grosses 25 million dollars in its opening weekend, Chris Rock will come back to host this year's MTV Video Music Awards! Everyone go see this movie repeatedly, because last year with the Wayans Brothers hosting the VMA's kind of sucked. Hard.
Song of the Day
Plus One: "Written On My Heart"
This was a tough one for me today, but I decided after that Sinbad show to go with the boy band. They aren't the most talented, but it's really interesting because they're a boy band that focuses on Christian music. I haven't gotten their album yet, but it's on my list next time I either order some CD's off the net or next time I'm near civilization, as opposed to being here at Washington State University. Some of the singers do an excellent job, but at least one of them had a voice that kind of annoyed me, the one that starts it off, overall though, I'd have to give it... Grade: B
TV Reviews
I watched Daria's Sarcastathon 3000 today, most of it at least, kind of cool to see some of the classic episodes. It provides intelligent social commentary from the perspective of the underdog. They also added some shorts in between episodes with Daria and Jane Lane introducing each one. They did one of the funniest bits I've ever heard about MTV VJ's all competing for the same job. Grade: B. Also, keep an eye out for new Fear and Jackass this Sunday on MTV's Jackass Sunday at 7 PM, as well as the season premiere's of Daria and 2gether (We miss you Michael) on Monday night at 10.
Commercial of the Day/Week/Month/etc.
I don't know if I'll ever do this one again, but I LOVE the new Neutrogena commercial with Mandy Moore. She is so cute. And she's not taken like Jessica Simpson, swear like a sailor like Britney Spears, or blow Fred Durst like Christina Aguilera.
Wrestling Update
I've decided to try to cut back the wrestling updates to only about once a week, though with how busy my life has been that's probably as much as I'll be able to get anyways. Look out for the next one next Saturday, as the WWF prepares for No Way Out! I also wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow is WCW's Superbrawl, with some awesome cruiserweight matches on the card. I'm a little iffy about whether it's worth the cash or not, it's up to you. Also, what the heck happened to Test? He hasn't been on TV in forever. You'd think they'd give the European champion a little more TV time. Also, Lita is going to take on double 0 Dean Malenko on Raw this week, could we maybe see Lita going for an older man and turning heel on the Hardys? Only time will tell, I suppose. And will it be for the Light Heavyweight title? I hope so, maybe that would help give the title some importance again. I was also disappointed to hear that Mick Foley isn't planning a commissionership return, but I LOVE the idea of Commissioner Al Snow! I can only hope.

Gooooood afternoon everyone, what are YOU doing? I had a Com 270 test today, it was soooooo easy, I was surprised since I'd heard it hyped up as being relatively hard.

Movie Reviews
Nurse Betty
This movie totally ruled. I've added it to my top films of 2000 list at number nine (I constantly update my list, although I do have a top 10 list which I will put up here sometime). Morgan Freeman gave my favorite performance of the film, although the others (including Renee Zellweger or however the heck you spell that, Chris Rock and Greg Kinnear) all performed admirably as well. My main problem with it is that it was very hard to watch. The Betty character is so deluded that you want her to just snap out of it and get her life on track, but she stays in character for a long time. There are several twists that I never saw coming. It ends up being a rather life affirming film, as well as a girl power/feminist message. I normally don't like it when films have that kind of message, but I didn't mind it in this case. It's a film that just makes you say "WOW! That ruled." However, the feeling didn't stay with me the next day, and that's when I started noticing some more of the flaws, though good examples escape me at the moment. I definitely recommend this film, and I think you'll enjoy it. Grade: B+
Song of the Day
soulDecision: Ooh, It's Kinda Crazy
I recommend looking for the non-edited version of this song... there are at least two different versions, one which I heard quite a while ago and one which is currently being used on the radio and in the video. I like the other version better, I think it's on their album. This song is pretty much a diss on girls (the band admitted it themselves), but that doesn't mean that it's not about love as well. The harmonies and melody on this song are beautiful. soulDecision brings the same fun, innovative instrumental background to this song that they brought to their last single Faded, as well as the rest of their album. If you wanna hear what the guys have been pushing most recently, check out the song Gravity, which is their current Canadian single (yeah they're Canadian, but don't hold it against them).
Lessons from God
Today's lesson: God is Superman. It's true. I mean, think about it. He's there when you need him, coming to help if you call his name. He fights the forces of evil. He loves you, America, and pretty much everything else. He always does the right thing. He's mighter than a locomotive and can move faster than a speeding bullet. So next time you wish Superman were there to help you, just remember, he is.
Wrestling Update
I've actually been watching a little WCW recently. I might do a review of WCW Thunder, though I don't think I'm educated enough about WCW yet to do Pay-Per-View previews. Here's a couple 1Wrestling.com rhetorical questions in relation to last night's show that I thought were funny:
Were you surprised no one chanted "We want Hall"?
I am begging everyone in the wrestling to stop using the word "swerve"?
The 'Dirty Dozen'
These are shows that are rumored to be highly avoided by advertisers. I watch 11, 6, 3, 2 and 1 so I just wanted to spread the word. Start watching these shows so that advertisers smarten up!

WWF Raw review
I thorougly enjoyed the show, though I missed the first 45 minutes or so. The Al Snow/Chris Benoit match was my favorite, it totally ruled. I love seeing Al Snow on TV, and I love how they keep the real life relationship between Al Snow and Mick Foley alive on TV.
A couple rhetorical questions I snagged off 1Wrestling.com's site that I found exceptionally true:
Wasn't Steph's top, uh, very fan friendly?
Why didn't Kat strip while the guys were fighting on the floor?
Why did they censor "slut" when Richards said it live, but not on the replay?
Isn't Kat a better representative for nudity than Mideon?
Wasn't Molly Holly the first female in history to overstate her weight?
Doesn't HHH have more to lose with "6 months off" than Austin does with "losing a title shot"?
