OMN — I, JAK — The Cryton Chronicles

I know it seems impossible, but this entry should be mainly pictures and few words. I know in person I’m usually the silent type, but when writing (or discussing a topic of passion) I can drone on and on and on and on and on and on... You get the picture.

Speaking of pictures:

I get ALL the mail!

I love getting mail when it isn’t spam and/or bills!

Sometimes I get very personal mail:

Someone understands my... nuts?

This was such a sweet gesture, and I wish I could share the words that were written inside, but I never asked beforehand. They were very kind and touching, to say the least. When seeing the card they said it was perfect. I couldn’t agree more.

Then I was treated to yet another surprise:

Dinner! NOM NOM NOM!

My friend over at Daily Discovery made a wonderfully delicious meal this evening, and was kind enough to share with me! It was Turkey Meatball & Cheese and Spinach Ravioli, and it was amazing!

She said she was happy to cook for me, and I said I was happy to eat for her >.>

It only took ~~a few~~ hundreds of hours, but it finally happened:

Oh My Nuts! I made a button!

With the help of PicMonkey I was able to design a blog button! Behold! Bask in its glory! I really wanted the “glow” to be around the nut, but after time I liked the idea of it surrounding the rodent's cute little paw as it stretched out to grasp its Destiny.

Now if I can only figure out how to post it on the blog allowing for others to use it if they so choose..

That wasn’t too wordy, was it? Some of the other entries have really pushed the envelope in that department.

When was the last time you received a special card? What do you think of the new blog button? Now to make badges for my blog series...

Every generation has it’s share of tragedies, it’s share of triumphs.

Every generation it’s tyrants, it’s heroes.

Every generation certain words and catchphrases grip the world, encompassing the very essence of life as we know it. Stripping away all we believe we know and hold dear, shaking us to the very core of our foundation.

From the same mind-bending stream of consciousness that gave birth to such words and phrases as:

“Dude”

“That’s tits”

“Wicked”

Presented by the self-proclaimed genius who offers unparalleled randomly sporadic ramblings such as:

“Holy sweet Mother Mary Baby Jesus in a handbasket!”

“What the shit fuck was that?”

“Who the fuck invented the ‘No Jump’ button?!”

One of the most shocking, soul-riveting, Earth-shattering catchphrases to erupt forth from Generation Jak:

Boo to my "Spoiler" Show/Hide button not working. If knowing how to make one let me know!

* 'Nuff. Said.
** The. End.
*** True. Story.

Hello, Friend

It’s been a long while. I briefly discuss some of this year’s shortcomings, and in doing so, find it’s just more of the same.

Then I attempt to give a more positive spin…

Extra Life Game Day 2021

Extra Life Game Day 2021 has arrived! It’s Year 8 for myself and I am looking forward to once again raise money for Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. Team Cryton Crusaders is ready (kind of) for the annual fundraising event involving a 24-Hour Gaming Marathon! I kept last year’s fun, but likely impossible Milestone to reach!

Learn more about the challenge where my team and I play games and heal kids!

This year's A to Z Challenge is over, but how did I fare with another attempt at producing Flash Fiction and Poetry throughout it all? Did I run into the same complications as last year?

A to Z 2017: ZACHARIAH

Dreams in the Shade of Ink is back with more Flash Fiction for the A to Z Challenge 2017! Last year my segments throughout April painted a puzzled tapestry of prose and I hope to provide some new, entertaining stories that you'll enjoy!

Come share in my inky dreams full of fiction, sprinkled with poetry!

A to Z 2017 [MAGIC MIXER]: REFLECTIONS

The A to Z Challenge 2017 is over and it's time to reflect on how the event went! There were booster pack openings, there were storylines and mechanics to observe within the world of Magic: The Gathering!

Join me as I discuss the ups and downs of this year's Magic Mixer theme.

A to Z 2017: ZENDIKAR

This year for the A to Z Challenge 2017 Meta MTG presents the Magic Mixer! What's that mean? Your guess is as good as mine... What I do know, however, is that this year's theme is obviously still all about Magic: The Gathering!

Join me as I attempt to highlight a different Magic set each day of the challenge in different ways, from pack openings to discussions about a set's storyline and/or mechanics!
