Because he is a coffee snob, like me. Because he is a music snob, (somewhat) like me. Because he likes TPOH, totally! like me. Because even after knowing each other for almost 10 years online, we have never met in real life, yet time can pass without speaking and it’s like time has stood still. Because he isn’t a sellout for what he believes in. Because he was the first person I’d ever met with a goatee, and that was the coolest thing I ever saw. Because he knew HTML before it was cool. Because he encouraged me to write, and he still does. Isn’t that amazing? Because he is him.
