Chris Benoit [

[ music | Never too Late -- Three Days Grace ]

...No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it...
--Never too Late (Three Days Grace)



It's been a little less than a week since pro wrestler Chris Benoit killed his family as well as himself. The tragedy has stirred such a controversy in people.  People are pointing fingers.  People are also using this tragedy as a soapbox.  But I'm not posting this to talk about that. I'm not here to point fingers, or start talking about steroids.  I am posting this to talk about the man inside the ring as well as my feelings on the whole situation.

When I first saw Chris Benoit, he was sitting ringside with Perry Saturn, Eddie Guerrero, and Dean Malenko as the Radicalz.  I didn't know much about them at all, seeing as I was a relative new pro wrestling fan.  As the months passed, Benoit was the one who stood out to me.  He first shined at his WM2000 match with Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle.  You could tell that he had a passion for this business, and he was definetly a "ring general".  He developed the nickname "The Rabid Wolverine", if it was one thing that he was rabid about, it was the sports entertainment industry.  He was also slowly becoming one of my favorite wrestlers.  2004 seemed to be Chris's shining year.  When Wrestlemania 20 rolled around, the triple threat between Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H, I was super excited that I got to see the match, and to be honest, I didn't care who won the match.  When Chris won the match, I was excited for him.  He deserved it.  Later that year, at Summerslam, when he lost the title to Randy Orton, that was one of Randy's best matches, and believe it was because of Chris. 

I've only seen Chris wrestle live once.  It was the Armageddon 2005 PPV, in Rhode Island.  He was wrestling Booker T.  There was nothing absolutely stellar about the match.  But all I could remember was how loud the fans were for Chris.  Any wrestling fan knows that Chris Benoit wasn't huge on the entertainment factor of wrestling, he was big on just wrestling.  That night when I saw him wrestle, he definetly had a "quiet charisma" about him.  And I loved it.

On June 11th, 2007, WWE had the draft to mix up the rosters a bit.  And man, was I pissed when Chris got traded to ECW.  I was glad to see him wrestle that night.  Little did I know that would be the last time I would see him wrestle.  I just don't watch ECW, and now I kinda regret it. 

If you noticed, I still have my Chris Benoit Banner up on my 'user info' page. I don't think I am gonna take it down either.  I want to remember Chris for what he did in the ring.  I have a huge respect for what he did in the ring.  He was an amazing performer.  And the few people that I know that have met him has said that he was a kind and genuine person.  That's what I want to remember Chris as.  Not as the guy that the media is personifing him as.

[ music | The Truth by Good Charlotte ]

Yeah...I hate being broke.

Went to Walmart today. Scanned through the WWE figures section, usually all they have is like 20,000 Chris Masters figures, MNM, and Trevor Murdoch. But today, it figures I have no money, and they have one KEVIN NASH!!!.  And I had absolutely no money on me, and knowing my luck...I'll go back tomorrow because I get paid, and it won't be there.

Fuckin' Murphy's Law.


In other news, Daisy and Duke are out of their box that they lived in.  Now they are running all over my room, just being typical kittens.  They sleep under the covers with me at night. So fucking cute.

Step 1: Set up a playlist with every song in your computer on it.
Or, take your MP3 player and go to the songs section.
Step 2: Set it to shuffle.
Step 3: For each question, answer with whatever random song comes up next.
Or you can be lame and put songs you think really answer the question.

Hey everyone...sorry I haven't been posting an actual entry in awhile, I've been a little busy as of late. Earlier in the month, we got two new additions to the family.  Two two-week old kittens! (Well, now they are four weeks old) kittens!  So with out any further adu....



Daisy is the brown and black little one, and Duke is the black one.  My neighbors found them in a drain pipe.  Crying their little lungs out. (Daisy has a big mouth).  They are a lot bigger now.  I'll have to get some more pics ASAP!
