Hey guys,
I was planning on finishing up writing a sneak peek for the next update post for you guys today, but I'm afraid that I got nothing done as some bad news distracted me.
I dunno how many of you watch It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, but it’s one of my favorites. There’s an episode where Mac’s cousin comes to town, and he turns out to be cooler than Mac in every way. He is played by Seann William Scott, better known as Stifler from American Pie, and they call him Country Mac. He’s comfortable in his own skin and, unlike City Mac, a true badass.
That’s how I felt around my brother. Even though we had different fathers, we looked and acted more alike than the brother I share both parents with. He went to Yale, was a successful lawyer who worked to help the environment where he met his wife, became a great father, partied with the South Park guys, climbed all 58 of the peaks in Colorado over 14,000 feet, all that good stuff. He canceled plans for his vacation with his family to come to my wedding and was the life of the party.
Pretty much cooler than me in every way. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning to a phone call that, like Country Mac, my brother died riding his motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains, being a badass.
I share this with you not to look for pity, but to celebrate one of the coolest guys in my life. Wish I’d gotten to know him better, but very glad for the time we had.
I never asked him if he’d want an adult visual novel dedicated in his honor, but too bad. Because that’s what he’s getting.
Thanks, everyone.
Hope you have a great weekend.
