El Dia de las Madres

I thought it would be appropriate to share the essay I wrote for my mother with the remnants of my once mighty blogging empire.
An Ode to Mothers My Mother (Kathleen Tobe)

Letter from the Editor

For those who aren’t a relative, former Glandorf Elementary teacher or corrupt, inquisitve employee of the postal service, here is an electronic version of the actual Christmas letter that my parents mailed this year.
Season’s greetings to family, friends and anyone else in my parents’ address book,

Character Flaws

Video game aficionados have long clamored for competitive multiplayer games that allow players to act as the villains and vanquish their friends, the heroes. In this post, I will explain how every game in your collection can be transformed into the interactive experience I just described.

Rats!

One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2009 was to blog more frequently. “How successful have you been in this endeavor?”, the intrepid reader undoubtedly ponders. Thank you for asking, imaginary audience I used merely as a transitional device. It’s now October and this will be my third post. One more [...]

Pretty Piñata

It was one of those sultry summer evenings you read about in murder mysteries. Nature was behaving like an aggressive older brother, holding the party guests captive in a headlock under its armpit of humid weather. As I sipped on my diet IBC root beer, I saw something so beautiful that my feet [...]

What’s in Your (Mail) Bag?

It’s time for another edition of “Ask Jaymz”…You didn’t think I would ever do another one of these, did you? Well, I did, so you were wrong. Anyways, today’s question reads as follows:
“Dear Jaymz,
I just finished my first quarter of college life. It was a little overwhelming [...]

Zips are not Kangaroos!

This was originally supposed to just be an away message, but it got too long. It’s ok that it developed into a post, though, because it gave me an excuse to start a post with z. When else is that going to happen? Anyways, I watched the MAC championship game tonight. Akron [...]
