EPT
that Kingkosi made for each of us when we went to Blizzcon, that I knew I had to make a blog - and include terrible quality pictures - of the more interesting items.First up is the Team Liquid shirt mentioned above.

Added our TL names to the back, since we were mostly unknown to the community. And still are, really.

I previously had Savior sign my Blizzcon bag before he ended up winning the event, but after he had won, when everyone was swarming him, my brain was going "must have him sign something...", so my shirt was the best option.
While going through the closet, I found a sword that belonged to my great grandfather. He was in the Army during WWI, and his men presented it to him. It has his name engraved on it.
When I was younger, my father would often tell a story of how it was passed down, generation to generation, for the first son that named their son Thomas. I was always eager to achieve this (my brother is older than I, but has yet to have a son), but my father died before it was possible. I'm not positive, but I believe my brother gave it to me a few years back, but one way or another, I'm holding onto it.

Laid it on the 360 because the camera I was using doesn't have a flash, and it was the only place near a light in my room. >_>
Two pieces of art (not really sure what to call them, exactly - almost looks like gold foil was used) that I picked up at a yard sale a few years back for $5 a piece. Also purchased two paintings, one of which has been authenticated. By Charles Cobelle (authenticated) and Maurice Utrillo (probably a print).

Jumping back to StarCraft slightly, I also found a 9th grade English project. We had to create a Primer, on the subject of our choice. I decided to do video games, of course. I scanned the most important page. Keep in mind that this was a project that I did in about an hour of time, with no previous thought, and my drawing is absolutely abysmal. So feel free to laugh.

And finally, a stack of the weekly free (local) paper that my father wrote for. He had a column called Cab Driver Diary. I've previously uploaded a few of them to Photobucket, so I'll post them here.

As an edit, I'd like to apologize for the quality of all the pictures. Looking at them now, they're all really blurry.
