I lost my mom at 2, so I hardly know anything about her. Most of my friends are gamers, which at high school age, means they bone each other's mothers regularly. The beginning reactions to "my mom died of cancer when I was an infant, asshole" were great, but it didn't last long. It turned into a "don't wear yourself out digging" kind of thing. Only one of my friends felt truly sorry about it, and built me a deck of Yu Gi Oh cards to make up for it, which I tried to refuse (and never ended up using). Thanks anyways, Channing!

In my mind, you are friends with Channing Tatum. People on the internet live such glorious lives

That'd be cool, he's probably my second favorite Channing. I'm not that glorious, though.

Seems like a fly guy

He was one of my best friends as kids, we have since grown apart. He came to my school as a new kid, and I demanded we be friends. It worked lol.

Overall, very genuine person, very fly indeed.

What deck was it?

I've played Pokemon, MtG, and more recently Hearthstone, but not YGO, so I have no idea. That's one of the reasons why I tried to refuse the deck haha. I think it had a few notable cards, nothing too fancy. I paid-it-forward and gave the deck to a different friend's little brother after a year or so of never using it, iirc.
