Both were taken with my phone, which explains the bad quality. I left my digital camera at my aunt's when I moved away from Seattle.
Anything else, you can just ask. I don't bite that hard.

Most Deteriorated Wrestler 2008-MVP 2007-Brian Kendrick & Paul London 2006-Rey Mysterio 2005-Shelton Benjamin 2004-Rob Van Dam
Worst Singles Wrestler 2008-charlie Haas 2007-The Sandman 2006-The Boogeyman 2005-Funaki 2004-Kenzo Suzuki 2003-A-Train 2002-The Big Show 2001-Buff Bagwell 2000-Lex Luger
Worst Tag Team 2008-The Rock 'N' Rave Infection 2007-Ron Killings/Pacman Jones 2006-Charlie Haas/Viscera 2005-Sonny Siaki/Apolo 2004-Hurricane/Rosey 2003-Big Show/A-Train 2002-Billy & Chuck 2001-Kronik 2000-The Harris Brothers
Worst Female Wrestler 2008-Jillian Hall 2007-Christy Hemme 2006-Syrelda 2005-Torrie Wilson 2004-Stacy Keibler 2003-Sable 2002-Dawn Marie 2001-Ivory 2000-Stephanie Mc Mahon
Worst Match of the Year 2008-Referee Charles Robinson vs The Great Khali on the June 20 Smackdown 2007-Hornswaggle vs The Great Khali at Survivor Series 2006-Maria vs Umaga 2005-Roddy Piper vs Bob Orton 2004-Tyson Tomko vs Steven Richards at Unforgiven 2003-Stephanie vs Sable at Vengeance on July 27 2002-Jackie Gayda vs Linda Miles on the very first episode of Velocity, which aired on June 8. This match between the two Tough Enough 2 winners showed how green both of these wrestlers were. Also, a storyline which put Gayda in cahoots with Ivory and Miles in Snow's camp went nowhere fast. Both were QUICKLY sent to the minors. The last time I saw either one of these women was on a special edition of Blind Date. Then again, the selection of two women on the second installment of Tough Enough was already marred by controversy. 2001-Edge vs Billy Gunn on the June 19 Raw. No one was into this bore of a match the night after Edge became the ninth King of the Ring. 2000-Jeff Jarrett vs DDP vs David Arquette for the WCW title at Slamboree. It was already bad enough that Arquette, a second-rate actor, was the WCW champion entering this contest. 1999-The Kevin Nash-Goldberg nonmatch on the January 4 Nitro. How many ways can you blow a very big opportunity the way these goons running the show in Atlanta during this time ended up doing? I mean, EVEN THE WWF tried to help WCW by revealing on its website that Mick Foley was the new champion on a TAPED RAW not too long after Christmas. Yet, the idiots for bookers denied the Atlanta crowd a possible Match of the Year candidate. As a result, Nitro never even got close to tying RAW.
Worst Booker 2008-Vince Russo and Dutch Mantel of TNA 2007-TNA's team 2006-WWE and TNA 2005-The entire WWE writing team 2004-The Jarrett family and Dutch Mantel 2003-The entire WWE writing team 2002-Stephanie Mc Mahon, Brian Gewirtz, and others 2001-Everyone who oversaw the collapse of WCW and just made things worse with every move that they made 2000-Vince Russo 1999-Kevin Nash
Worst Wrestling Move 2008-Bronco Buster 2007-Randy Orton's "punt" to the head 2006-Viscera's "humping" finisher 2005-Tyson Tomko's big boot 2004-Scotty 2 Hotty's W-O-R-M 2003-The Basham Brothers' Switch 2002-Sean Waltman's Bronco Buster
Worst Decision of the Year (was known as Worst Move from 1999 to 2001) 2008-Not coming with a better plan to put the WWE World title on Chris Jericho in September 2007-Jeff Jarrett bringing Pacman Jones to TNA 2006-Rob Van Dam and Sabu being arrested for smoking and possessing marijuana on July 4 weekend 2005-WWE firing Matt Hardy because he exposed Edge and Lita for who they really were 2004-Trivializing the Taboo Tuesday format 2003-Paul Heyman being demoted in February to consultant after he refused to be a yes man for Vince 2002-WWE's overall booking decisions 2001-Each and every bad move made by WCW and ECW which resulted in the demises of both organizations. 2000-Bringing back Mick Foley for Wrestlemania XVI and leaking information on the Internet that he was to win the WWF title and then retire. As a result, HHH became the first heel to leave with the WWF title at a Wrestlemania. 1999-Public Enemy's moving from one organization to another. They started the year back in the organization that put them on the map, ECW. After a dispute over money, Johnny Grunge and Rocco Rock went to the WWF. Grunge and "Flyboy" were victims of massive springtime roster cuts and returned to WCW, where they had been for two years prior to their return to ECW. By end of the summer, PE was (deservedly) looking for a job.
Worst Angle of the Year 2008-The love triangle involving "Black Machismo," So Cal Val, and "The Love Guru" 2007-Vince's "death" 2006-WWE exploiting Eddie Guerrero's name over and over again 2005-Muhammad Hassan's "terrorist" angle 2004-The Matt Hardy-Lita-Kane-Gene Snitsky marriage/kidnapping/rape/baby killing storyline 2003-Hulk Hogan as "Mr. America" 2002-The Kane-Katie Vick murder/necrophilia mess 2001-The WWF vs the WCW/ECW Alliance 2000-Rikishi's revelation as the driver who ran down Stone Cold at the 1999 Survior Series 1999-The Stephanie-Test saga which resulted in Steph marrying HHH
Worst Wrestling Feud 2008-The Prince Justice Brotherhood vs the "Rock N' Rave Infection 2007-The Boogeyman vs Big Daddy V 2006-Kevin Nash vs the X Division 2005-Edge vs Kane 2004-Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar 2003-Stephanie vs Sable
Worst Gimmick 2008-Shark Boy ripping off "Stone Cold" Steve Austin 2007-Serotonin 2006-Cryme Tyme for reinforcing negative stereotypes that black people are thieves 2005-Chavo Guerrero as Kerwin White 2004-Kane's transformation from "Big Red Machine" to "Big Red Pansy" 2003-Rosey, the Superhero in Training 2002-The awful "Testicles" character involving Test and Stacy Keibler 2001-Saturn's schizophrenic character being in love with a mop 2000-The many faces of Glen Gilberti (a.k.a. Disco Inferno, Disqo, Dim Shady, the Hip Hop Inferno) 1999-Gillberg
Most Overrated Wrestler 2008-JBL 2007-Team 3D 2006-The Great Khali 2005-Chris Masters 2004-JBL 2003-Nathan Jones 2002-HHH 2001-DDP 2000-The Big Show 1999-Bart Gunn

On December 17, 2003, I graduated from NC State with a degree that I thought would lead to me working in a fun occupation, Tourism. Well, where I'm at today is definitely different than what I planned. I'm still in the same miserable small town that I couldn't wait to leave upon graduating from high school. I'm still working at a part-time job that was supposed to be a stopgap for a better-paying occupation (December 15 marked four years since I started working there).
I got to this point by not properly planning. Once my internship ended in Myrtle Beach, I should have gone to the Career Center much sooner to find out what kind of jobs were there. At the very least, I would have something to fall back on. Secondly, I should have kept in contact with my internship agency by promoting other NC State students to intern for them the following summer. Had I not burned that bridge, I might have been able to work at a resort or even plan all kinds of activities for tourists. Finally, if I had taken the time to plan things throughout winter 2004, I would have never had the worst year of my life! After all, it was poor planning that caused me to go to Nashville for almost two months. I should have waited until a more opportune time rather than jumping up to say yes to Trey under some kind of pressure. If I had waited, I could have been a supervisor in Orlando in the summer of 2004, my bank account wouldn't have been closed, I would have never been in a position to go to UNCG and leave after one semester due to burnout, and I would have some kind of job security.
Currently, I'm working at a job that offers no benefits, and I just got a pay raise last year. The underlying sense from society is that an undergraduate degree has become so devalued that it might as well be equivalent to a high school diploma. If that's so, where is the money for grad school? I have enough problems paying back student loans right now. Given that going to graduate school costs at least five figures, how can I even think about attending when loans are basically the only way to go and grants are virtually nonexistent? I went to UNCG to get a second undergraduate degree in Accounting. I am currently leaning towards Transportation or Transportation Planning because I'd like to plan America's future transportation projects rather than working for someone in that industry. Being a train station attendant is working for someone else in the travel industry. I'd have liked to be part of the leadership, but since this recession is preventing people from traveling, it may be time for me to give up on this dream and move on to something else.
I will forever be kicking myself for waht happened in May 2007. I had an interview lined up with a California tour operating company. The first day, a Tuesday, the interviewer had language problems with a group and had to reschedule. After waiting around on the second day, I decided to go to the Triangle to fight off boredom and to dig up an old newspaper article. Oops, it turned out that the interviewer had called while I was away. Since I had worked all day the following day, we had to rescheudle for that Friday. I checked my e-mail on Thursday. Nothing during the day. The following day was supposed to be the interview at 5:00 my time. I was at work until 3:15 due to late trains and my new boss meeting with my then-station supervisor. I did not get a phone call after that Wednesday. So, imagine the feeling of horror that I received when I checked my e-mail that Friday night--an e-mail was sent to me Thursday evening. In all honesty, that was my last good chance at a job in the travel and tourism industry.
During my birthday last year, I did a chart of where I'd like to be and what I would to do withing the next five years. Honestly, other than throwing out old newspapers to be less of a packrat (as well as to put the past behind me), going back to school and investing in things like stocks, I'm not sure that any of my goals are going to be possible within the given time frame due to this economy possibly blowing up into another Great Depression.
