I have been caught off guard by how much this has gotten to me today. I first found Paul in the early days when I had been laid off from my really good job and I was down in the dumps. The first thing that struck me was his eyes when he was shooting. I heard somewhere that when someone is really playing for keeps, their whole face changes, and watching Paul's eyes go from normal to combat mode as soon as he started shooting convinced me right away that he was the real deal. Then of course his great sense of humor and absolute wealth of knowledge. Those videos helped me get through that hard time, and I'm not at all ashamed to admit that due to this parasocial relationship I feel like I'm losing a good friend. I think his brother will do good things, and I'll definitely give it a fair shake, but obviously it is going to be it's own thing.
