Year in Review: 2006
My 2nd annual year in review. In reference to media, as always not everything on it has been released in 2006, but this was the year I discovered it.
Top Moments of 2006:
1) WWE RAW Live August 14th. (Ringside seats) (There are many things I'd like to experience when it comes to the WWE, this was one of them. Words can't describe the time I had that night. I won't forget it.)
2) WWE Armageddon Pay Per View Event Live at the Richmond Coliseum. (A suprise ladder match and an inferno match. Things I'd never think I'd get to see live.)
3) Trivium Concert at the NorVA. (This was one of the best shows I've been to in my life. Perhaps even the best to date)
Worst Moments of 2006:
- Getting screwed over at Costco and finding my footing again in the working world.
- When Kat's mom was diagnosed.
Top 3 Japanese Animations:
1) Scrapped Princess (I've never been so emotionally wrapped in an anime.)
2) Utawarerumono
3) Trinity Blood
- It was a rather slow year for Anime.
Top 3 Video Games:
1) Gears of War (This was a good gaming year. For a game I didn't really follow, Gears has me hooked.)
2) Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
3) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Honorable Mention:
- Tetris DS
- New Super Mario Brothers
- Wii Sports
- Zelda: The Twilight Princess
- Saints Row
- Smackdown vs. Raw 2007

2) Alexisonfire

- Disturbed "Decadance" / "Land of Confusion"

Top 5 Movies:
1) V for Vendetta (Insane year for good movies. V wins out, I mean, I did see it twice.)
2) Mission Impossible III (The return of 'on the edge of your seat' movies.)
3) The Crow (Old movie but I 'fell in love' with it this year)
4) X-Men 3 : The Last Stand
5) Saw III
