I guess technically (especially for Mania, which always has cross brand matches) someone from Raw or SD could challenge him.

So who does ECW have that's a face who can challenge Jack Swagger? Finlay? Dreamer has been getting shots at house shows and will obviously get one on TV at some point due to the current angel they're running, but those 2 are the only face challengers Swagger has. All the other decent ECW guys are heels.

Anyone else get The Maw? I'll bet bps did.

Seeking achievements, I played my first random last night in a ranked game. He was a pretty cool guy, a fellow wrestling fan from NorCal, so we had a nice Warriors vs. Lakers (me) battle. I blew a 10 point lead, and we traded 1 point advantages in the final 2 minutes. With Kobe mobbed upon receiving the inbound pass, I drained a baby hook with Gasol with 2.6on the clock. I got a block with Bynum as time expired to win 83-82. Epic. Good to know one can still find good people and players in ranked/random matches, and I got 2 achievements- One Ranked Win and Team 2K, both of which you guys all probably already have.

Is that Marc Mero in your sig? Huge win for the Lakers today, as they win 99-85 over the Spurs. When you throw in their big win over Cleveland- and before anyone says Cleveland had players hurt, so did LA- they are definitely the best team in the league right now.

I've had to input the 3rd jersey code 3 times now. For some reason, it randomly seems to become undone. Grr.

Time for Spurs at Lakers. If it's anything like their last game, we're in for a treat.

Yes! It had black bars and everything. I rented the movie from Shop N Save. Lo and behold... no titties. Not even black bars. I was saddened. That issue had Killer Instinct and DKC 2 on the cover.

It's about fucking time.

Old team: John Cena Dolph Ziggler The Miz John Morrison DJ Gabriel Hurricane Helms Jeff Hardy Out: DJ Gabriel Hurricane Helms Dolph Ziggler Total: 12 million In: Edge 11.5m New Team- Doin' it big!: John Cena The Miz John Morrison Jeff Hardy Edge It was hard to choose between Edge and Orton.

They're replaying that Lakers/Spurs game on ESPN Classic right now.

Chae. He's also been called Edgar Halliwax.

Watched Alien. Yawned a lot. Boring.

I purchased The Maw after playing the demo. I'm on level 2 now. I rarely purchase arcade games that aren't remakes/ports or continuations of old franchises like Mega Man 9 was, but I like this one so far.

He may have earned it on the floor, but he still spent the last couple of seasons chasing a title, burning plenty of bridges along the way. First, he dumps Miami for Jersey after they pay his full contract during his kidney recovery. Then when Jersey falls off, he demands a trade. He gets a trade to Toronto, where he sits out and refuses to play until they release him (and give him his full salary). Then he bounces back to Miami to join up for the title run with Shaq. That was a fairly despicable turn of events. I don't care for players that turn their backs on organizations so quickly just for a shot at a title. I thought it was funny that he signed with Toronto in my NBA 2K9 franchise. That Boston/Orlando game was pretty good from what I saw. I'm predicting the Lakers blow a 17 point lead to Washington before going on to win by 9 points.

LOL, in my Association, Cheryl Miller called Milwaukee an "elite team", citing their 6-13 record. Stupid bitch.

Over the last 2 months, I have been evaluated by a therapist and, eventually, a psychiatrist. I was diagnosed as bipolar/manic depressive (same thing for those who don't know) and it was narrowed down to bipolar type 2: http://www.depression-guide.com/bipolar-ii-disorder.htm On December 31st, my psychiatrist prescribed Abilify. I am going in tomorrow for a checkup. The stuff seems to be working fine so far, but I'm far from being "cured" (well, absent of symptoms the majority of the time; there is no cure). It's only been 2 weeks, and I'm not sure what normal feels like, anyway. I've been experiencing symptoms since I was 15. I just had no idea what the cause might be. My mom and especially my stepdad, who carried the influence in the house and was abusive both verbally and physically, claimed that nothing was wrong with me and that, despite my academic intelligence and intentions to accomplish things, I was a worthless prick who chose to be lazy. It took years of problems, a couple suicide attempts in my teens that I realized later on were the worst possible idea especially since it was over stupid shit, and a drinking problem/eating disorder combo that lasted for 4 years before I was able to even get on the right path. It took another 2 and a half years for me to figure out what my problem might be and to get treatment. Here are some of the symptoms I've experienced over the last 9 years, most of them being recent but some stopped or were stopped years ago: So that's the gist of it. I don't feel like writing more now because I'm tired from little to no sleep over the past 2 days (not unusual for me). But today is the first time I have shared this information with anyone besides a few close friends and family. If you want to ask anything, I'll answer later. I'm sorry to the people who I know I offended or treated badly due to this illness and its effects. Don't get me wrong- Regardless of reason or cause, a man is still responsible for his own actions. I did what I did, and I am accountable. But I hope, given the circumstances, no one will hold that against me.

Just about any game is worth $10. If you don't care about online competitive play, go for it.

Blue Dragon's supposed to be very long, anyway. I got it for $10; actually $5 if you consider that it was buy 1, get 1 game the same price or less free. I'm not starting it till I finish Fallout, though.

Maybe the baby was Miles. DUN DUN DUN...

Good game last night for the Kings, beating the Wild again. Colorado tonight won't be so easy.

Fuck the prison game. I lost on a last second TD the first time, and then I've gotten injured, automatically ending the game, 7 straight times. That usually happens in the 4th quarter.
