Hey there, hi there, ho there, Oasikitteers! And welcome to the Futuristic Sci Fi world of 2006! I'm a little disappointed that we haven't gotten flying cars yet, but I did get a ride in a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid today, and that was fun.

It's kind of an odd feeling that it's actually 2006 if you think about it. I mean it was still the 80's most of the time I was in high school. 2000 felt like this magical date that would never come. I mean, not only adjusting the hundreds digit in the year, but the thousands digit... the vast majority of the human population in history didn't get to do that... and now, we've completed 6 whole trips around the sun past then.

Heavy, if you think about it.

(And you may think I made a math error there, but if you think about it... 2000 was the first whole year I'm talking about, 2001 the second, and so on up until 2005 being the sixth.)

But since a new year is upon us, that comes chock full with new opportunities. I've never been a believer in New Year's Resolutions, but the door is open for some projects to make Our Oasis bigger, badder and better than ever.

First off, starting after RAW tomorrow, and after every subsequent RAW, SmackDown, Impact and PPV (or any other major wrestling show that may start during 2006), a poll will be posted in OO asking people to select the match of the show. Each match of the show for that week will go into a poll for match of the week, and each match of the week will go into a poll for match of the month (if a month begins between shows, we'll adjust the procedure as necessary)

The point... at the end of the year, we will have one last poll for an official MATCH OF THE YEAR from OO.

Also, I am going to try to start posting fairly frequent game, movie and comic reviews to the blog. These may be selected at random, or just whatever I feel like reviewing at the time.

The goal of this blog is to be the public face of OO. OO is a great place, lots of fun, and we hope to expand and grow. This blog is a great way to advertise the community while still striving towards our goal of being confidential. As such, I'm not asking the other members here to commit to anything, but to post what they can. We have the authors of the #1 and #2 blogs out there on staff. We can easily slip into the #3 spot, just as we're already far and away #1 as a forum.

Viva OO in 2006!
