What … Is This? If you’re like my brother and me, you love old-timey computer games almost more than the latest and greatest shoot-em-up. For as long as I can remember, my brother and I have loved playing classic puzzle games like King’s Quest, Commander Keen (yah, I realize that’s not really a puzzle game), …

It was the Winter of ’96. Gas prices were less than a dollar per gallon, the East Coast had been left with over four feet of snow, and the terribly named band “A” wrote that one song … you know, the one called Winter of ’96. It really wasn’t a popular song, so I’m …

Yes, I am writing a blog post at 3am. What are you going to do about it? Apparently nothing, and apparently I can do nothing about it either. Well, I guess I could just not write it, but that wouldn’t help the fact that I’m still stuck awake at this hour. Since I just finished …

It appears as though I’ve been randomly selected to do one of these survey things by none other than my annoying sister, Jenna. Alright, here goes nothing.

I woke up late today. It seemed to be a common theme. Jenna and Joey did, as did the parents. My alarm initially went off at 6:30, but I stumbled out of bed and switched it to 7:00, subconsciously, of course. I woke up a bit later and rolled over, glanced at the clock, at …

My dear cousin, Matt. One of my favorite people in the whole entire world. He’s fun. He likes the same music as me. He has a great sense of humor. He can juggle things. He even rides a unicycle! He lives in Texas, about thirty minutes away from my sister and brother-in-law. Tuesday morning he …

“And you might want to bring some long sleeved outfits,” they said. “It’s kind of cold here.” Of course, being the obedient follower that I am, I brought long sleeves and sweatshirts. We were going to Patzcuaro, Mexico. It’s over 1,000 miles south, and a little west, of Dallas, Texas. That’s just a guess… My …
