Accidents Happen

I had a shitty Canada day.

At the end of it I get an online message followed by a phone call from one of my best friends.

She informed me that there had been an accident and one of our mutual friends drowned today.
His name was Pete and they were very close.
He and I were not. In all honesty.. there were times when I couldn't stand the guy, but I liked him.

The last time we saw eachother was on Saturday. A group of us were going to go to the beach, but it was raining. He offered me a cigarette. We all smoked and talked in the backyard of the home he shared with his sister and girlfriend. He told me that I looked very nice.

You hear about these things in the news; Strange recreational accidents, (ATV's, Bikes, Watercrafts) but you never think it will happen to you or someone you know.

Chances are that you'll be hearing about this accident on the radio for the next few days.

Rest in peace, Peter.
My memories of you will not be lost

Let this be a lesson. Wear a helmet/life jacket/protective gear suitable for whatever you're doing. It could save your life.


I am a little bit preoccupied right now and can't promise that I'll be finished the article on penis size before this weekend.
I'm going to have to see how this week pans out.
Obviously, I have other priorities at the moment and I do hope you understand.

My best friend past away earlier this year in a car accident. It was such a tremendous shock to hear about it. It's so hard to believe that these things happen.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend Peter. May he rest in peace.

It's so strange to think that there have been so many drownings in such little time in the Outaouias/Ottawa region.
