This person passed away last mothers day. His mother had died of cancer, and around 2003/4 ( cancer in the nose ( it was a rare form of cancer ))). He himself, woke up in the morning, went back to bed, and never woke up again. Their was nothing wrong with him,
He and me are the same age as well. We would play fight, bath together, sleep in the same bed. He was Genesis and, I was Super Nintendo. He was my only connection to my mothers side of the family. Everybody else in my family are still distant from me. He even introduced me into, Japanese animation, while it was still on VHS tapes with that wondeful yellow subs.
My father had brought me the NES, but I was into legos, and when my family had seperated, my mother had moved back to where she lived. Their I met my cousin,
where we played together, with toys for the first time, and jumped on his mothers bed. Then he had Super Mario Brothers, and duckhunt. a thing that made no sense to me at all, until I was playing with him. Before him was this pac-man and space arcade that one my uncles had purchased.
.......
Before his premuture passing. He had many jobs, He was a sports teacher, a graduate in product management, a football player for college, and even served
with army reserves. uhmmmm what I understand, is that he had moved out of his sisters house, to live by himself, and was dating this girl. He spent alot of money on her, and when he was out of a job, she dumpt him, and when he called her, a person threathen to kill him. He tried to live with his father, but they did not get along, and
carried him to the middle of nowhere, with all of his things. So he was struggling trying to find a job, recently. I have not talk to him since four years a go. My mother saw him outside last, and he looked sad. He even wented to Hati, to help rebuild their houses.
Before my dealing with the MIB, this was the only thing I was thinking about, for a very very long time. Him and me was like Bill and Ted, or Kidrock and JC, or even Jake and Silent Bob, Mario and Luigi. It was one of the few people I had in this world, that I could talk to, and make sense out of, but now ........
The flatfact, is this was the worst, of the worst thing that could happen to me, and my family this year. He never had no children at all, and spent his earnings, and inhetance on one woman, who dumped him for a ten ton gorrilla, even after he had taken her to island vacation, and backstage parties. He had everything to live for, and their is no findings that anything had wronged him. We all just assume that he had missed his mother.
That was the story of that person, who introduced videogames to me. Without him, I would probably never ever make heads or tails out of a game controller.
