Let me give you a brief update on my not-so-great life.

Graduation is on May 23, 2009. Damn, they took so long into putting an exact date. Who's in charge of my university, TNA or WWE?

Unlike last year, I haven't gone to the cinema that much. I only saw Australia (*** 1/2) and Watchmen (****). Wanted to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but the reviews weren't great and I got lazy too. I could have paid to see Oscar-winning movies like Slumdog Millionaire (**** 1/2) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (*** 1/2) on the theaters, but I got too lazy and downloaded them before the Golden Globes arrived. I never gave a damn about Star Trek, yet it has high reviews. I'm not a sociallite, but I'm not extremely geek enough to care about Star Trek. The Wrestler premieres on May 20th here, but I've already seen it (****). But I'm not gonna miss the new Terminator film. I'm sure it'll be good, but not as great as Terminator 2: Judgment Day (very few films can top T2).

As for my PSP, I bought Daxter recently and my PSP game collection amounts to 10.

And no fancy graduation party for me... some of my friends wanted to organize it, but some opposed. It's expensive to organize one, but come on... eh, I should be aware that not everyone are the same. I can easily get my stuff paid by my old man... which still brings to the point that I'm unemployed. Sucks.

Wrestling PPVs, I'll be short for April. Backlash >>>> Lockdown > WrestleMania XXV. WM-XXV disappointed me in so many ways, it wasn't even funny to watch. Someone should have gunned down Triple H and Cena after they won their matches. And Lockdown was just barely better than WM XXV. It had some of the vintage TNA crap, but a bit more watchable in some aspects than WrestleMania XXV (build-up to Lockdown < build-up to WM). And I'm 50-50 on either HBK-Taker or Cena-Edge for 2009's MOTY. Backlash was simply great and fun to watch. But Shane McMahon needs to be shot. And what else... the Draft was good. I became more of a Raw watcher and ECW watcher because of the timeslots and it's easier to watch wrestling on Mondays and Tuesdays rather than Thursdays and Fridays.

More to say... oh, Oasis live was fun. I still think Wonderwall is overrated, but it got the biggest reaction of the night (Don't Look Back In Anger got second place in crowd reaction, followed by Champagne Supernova, Supersonic, and Morning Glory). But my current favorite Oasis song is Falling Down

Anyways, yeah.

Well, I did ended college/university. Graduation is in May this year.

Attended the Los Amigos Invisibles concert before the year ended. Concert was really great.

As for 2009, New Year's start kinds sucked.

I'm not attending the SD! house show at the moment, even if Undertaker arrives (and maybe Matt Hardy too). I'm not with much money right now. Either way, it's not gonna sell out (ticket prices and very poor publicity). Last year's Raw house show drew either 15000 or 18000 out of 21000, and this was with little to none publicity. Maybe it was the "first time" factor that helped getting such number attendance higher than what I expected.

Only movie I saw in the theater was Australia (*** 1/2). I still wanna see Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road, which are still available. Still waiting for Slumdog Millionaire (**** 1/2) and The Wrestler (**** 1/4) to appear on the big screen.

And the WWE forums here are okay, but it's annoying to post there.

A quick, small ranking of best wrestling matches for January.

1. Chris Sabin vs Alex Shelley - TNA Genesis 2009 (**** 1/4) - MOTY so far. Give them time and they'll put a great match. Ending was predictable, but worked well. This can be easily superbed, though.
2. 30-Man Royal Rumble Match - WWE Royal Rumble 2009 (*** 3/4) - Worked well after giving it a second view. Loved to see RVD there, but while checking the RT threads, some jack*ss ruined the surprise for me. Orton won, which was very predictable. I thought that this Rumble would have been less predictable without the punt against Vince (up to that point, nobody seemed like a serious candidate to win at the RR).
3. Kurt Angle vs Jeff Jarrett - TNA Genesis 2009 (*** 3/4) - Good brawl. Jarrett nearly broke his neck doing a dive against Angle. I lol'd with the Guitar-Chair spot from Angle.
4. Edge vs Jeff Hardy - Royal Rumble 2009 (*** 3/4) - Slow start, picked up very well later and it included the heel turn from Matt. I know 5. John Cena vs Shawn Michaels - Raw (*** 1/2) - Everyone calls this as the current MOTY, but not me. I thought their other matches were much better. I won't deny that Michaels and Cena had a great match.

Criminal stuff of the month:

Shane McMahon fake-punching Orton and Legacy: Even at f*cking it up, WWE can be better than TNA. They tried to fix it on the next Raw, though. They chopped Orton's balls there big time thanks to Shane.
Feast Or Fired being worthless: See Hernandez. Lethal too, but it doesn't compare to Hernandez wasting a shot against Sting on tv (he should have used it at Genesis and won the damn belt).
Matt Hardy going to SD! with the greatest of ease: More like Long let Hardy leave easily. He should have put him against Finlay and have Hardy win on a ER match, but cheating and making Hornswoggle bleed. Great promo from Matt on SD!
Frontline still getting buried: No explanation needed.

Most interesting wrestler this month: Randy Orton
Best Wrestler: Shawn Michaels

The year I liked Cena the most was 2003. He could rap, he could wrestle decently, he had greater mic skills... he wasn't boring to watch, unless you hate rap.

Once he turned face, that's when he began to suck.
