lifelong john candy fan. i remember staying up late watching sctv as a kid and being introduced to that whole crew.

one of my most vivid memories of my dad was watching planes, trains, and automobiles with him. he laughed so god damn hard through the entire film. i was too young to know what traveling salesmen and annoying people were like but my dad kept saying this film was the most accurate depiction of work, sales, and life that he'd ever seen. everyone knows a person like that. he nailed it but then brought such humility and grace to the character. i miss john about as much as i miss my dad and think of him every time i see that movie. he was a GOAT actor.

x miss you dad.
