So my grandfather in Colombia died today from what appeared to be a respiratory failure. All the years of smoking and drinking had already taken a toll on him and he was suffering a lot so in many ways, I think this is better for him. Now its exactly his death that has me a bit broken up but its a promise I made to him a long time ago. I promised that I would visit him in Colombia one day and now that promise will go unfulfilled. I like to consider myself a man (or boy) of my word and it hurts me that I wasn't able to stick to my guns and meet my grandfather, face to face. I get that the relationship my gramps had with everyone was complicated but in the end its the blood that runs through our veins that matter and I loved him as much any other family member.
Still, if there is something to be gained from this experience its that I have truly learned that life is too short to putting off things until tomorrow and that I will not make promises unless I know I can absolutely follow through on them. I can't be there in Colombia and pay my respects or attend his funeral now but I can write about this learning experience and put this photo up hoping that somewhere out there, he's smiling and this nerdy tribute to him.

I always wanted to have a pet monkey but New York City cops say "noooooo that's illegal" so I settled for this guy here... The plus side to having a plush monkey as your side kick? No poo-flinging.
Sometimes....just sometimes I allow myself to dream. To dream gentle dreams of super-soldiers riding dinosaurs into battle against Mecha-Godzilla in space.
Sometimes being one of the galaxy's baddest dudes gets tiring and I take a break from reality. I transform into a master of the arcane. Shooting fire from my hands, flying around on a badass flying vehicle and doin tasks for money...Hmmph. I guess I don't really take a break from my life then.

Whats YOUR game?
Ok....so Bobo Foot DOES have time for literature. Apparently Teddy Roosevelt was a Grade-A certified badass. He was probably my great grandpa. *sniff* I miss him already.
