My votes are in. Self-aggrandising though they are. Wouldn't expect anything less. |

You know I'm down to help out. How long is the voting polls going to be open.
Also, remember that we have a lot of new talent right now that I'm sure want to get involved. What would you suggest they do in order to make sure they are picking nominees that fall into the right categories (Rookie of the Year being the one that could easily be the most misinterpreted)?
This really is a fun show guys, and I encourage everyone to participate in it.

I've been here 25 pages worth of time. I have a feeling I'll be here for much longer, too. It goes fast too. |

New Breed tournament was pre-Trace wasn't it? Think he left fairly soon after Williams/Horror/Reckless (?), has had a couple of brief comebacks since including a little feud with me a year or two before you came back, but hasn't stuck around for a prolonged period. I believe the New Breed Tournament was: Williams, Eagle, Reckless, Dean, Demon, myself, Possessed Child and whatever Starlight went by at the time. And the last I recall seeing Reckless was that whole "control the WFWF" feud where he was Ner0, Yukio's surprise partner who never showed. He might have popped in once or twice after that but that's the last thing of memory. Here's the link to that thread with all the competitors. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/10716/new-breed-reignDAMMIT BISH! You beat me to it! |

I've won Scars and Stripes, main evented SuperBrawl, won the International title twice, and won the tag titles. AND I was in the first ever Abe Vigoda Memorial cup. ... but my main character has never battled at SuperBrawl. The Abe Vigoda Memorial Cup...pssssh. I may have presided over it as owner but me and jdfranchise were in the New Breed tournament. Want to talk about stiff competition? Three Hall of Famers in me and Trace as singles and Starlight as a member of Axis, and two potential Hall of Famers in Josh and Bishop...yeah. Got ya. Yet the tournament final was me vs Reckless. And I waxed that ass. BTW, whatever happened to that guy? |

I'm sorry, what's the difference between a role play and a promo? I've been studying for the SATs for the past week and I haven't gotten a chance to start it, and it's due tomorrow. I'll field this one guys. RP's are your character's daily life outside the ring. Most guys attach a promo talking about their upcoming match during the RP. The promo that you are specifically asking about refers to a segment within the results. If you want to write one of those, it's due a couple days after the rp. For you, getting the rp out is the most important thing right now so that you can get that style of writing down. |

I've watched a fair bit of Golden State's games this year and it astounds me that they are even better than last year. I didn't think that team could get any better, and yet here we are.
San Antonio is a very good team as well. Getting Aldridge and West in the off season really strengthen them to where they don't have very many weaknesses either.
My Suns...smh.

You're gonna say that around an English teacher? You gonna try telling me you don't hate classes sometimes? You teach in high school. That's the pits even if you like what you do. While I work my tuition off at my college in their writing lab, I'm a TA at the community college I first attended, helping the professor who mentored me. So I help when needed and occasionally teach a lesson if she has a meeting (department head) so she doesn't have to cancel. I like it, and that's what I want to do, it can still be the pits if you have bunghole students who are not there to learn, only because mom or dad made them go if they wanted to keep living under their roof. And what makes it worse is she does blue book essay exams and she has me look over them and give her what I would award the student grade wise and this current semester is brutal because literally no one's paying attention so half of them are failing. Someone on one tried explaining in their own way that slavery and indentured servitude weren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be now. Was in her office and put my head in my hands and she asked how bad it was and I handed it to her and she wasn't sure if she wanted to scream, laugh or cry. It's a cruel world for educators. It is a cruel world for educators, and the sad part is that it's going to get worse. I'll preface by saying that I enjoy what I do. I enjoy teaching writing and good literature, plus I think literacy is an essential part of the skillset everyone needs to have success in life. Are there students that are a chore to teach? Absolutely, you are not going to get any disagreement from me there. But I'll never let them know that. There are some students out there that are so entitled because No Child Left Behind basically ensures that they will pass. And those who teach in college can blame high school teachers, but it starts way earlier than that at the fundamental level. Kids are not being taught basic social or academic skills, and they come in behind the curve while acting like the idiots they glorify on TV. Here's the difference though, college is a privilege that many have to pay for and professors can fail you if you do not meet the requirements. Public school teachers are handcuffed by policies put in place at the state and national level, so we are limited what we can do because our society feels the need to baby them coming up. And there's my soapbox. |

All this talk about school reminds me this place really helped me discover the love I have for English. I'm probably going to become an English teacher when I'm older. It's ok young child, you'll learn to hate it. You're gonna say that around an English teacher? |

That's great, Josh. Not only am I confirmed to be in the upper upper tier of the age spectrum here, but now the youngins are passing by me in the educational spectrum, to boot! If it makes you feel older, Josh and Bish know, I'm working on my masters in a M.A. Ph.D combination program, allows me to, should all the courses be passed and my thesis successfully defended, come out in three years with my Ph.D when it would normally take at least 2/2.  Man I'm done with going to school for a while. I'm ready to make a little money. *That moment you realize that you work in a school* Sh*t! |

So, in other news I officially received my diploma for completion of my master's degree yesterday. I just need to wait on the scores from my PLT test to be a licensed junior high and high school English teacher. Hard work pays off. That's great, Josh. Not only am I confirmed to be in the upper upper tier of the age spectrum here, but now the youngins are passing by me in the educational spectrum, to boot! Thanks Bren, but I think you're only a couple months older than me. I've been out of high school for 12 years now and was an active college student for 9 of those. So while I'm ecstatic to finally be in position to have permanent job security, it took a lot longer than I ever wanted. |
