Cam....

I had my Dad die on Mount Everest around May this year.

That night was really hard, I couldn't sleep at all and cried all night.

Then he came back to life.

my grandmother died on her 40th wedding anniversary, that was unexpected

no crap, that was your dad?

and on topic, yes. Fit friend of mine dropped dead just after her 18th birthday. No history, no symptoms, nothing in the autopsy.

my good friends nephew died not long ago, 7 years old

You serious?



A girl that I went to primary school with killed herself at the start of this year. She was admitted to hospital for anorexia and hung herself in the bath room when unattended. I saw her a few months earlier and pretended I didn't remember who she was. I felt like absolute crap.

To both, yes I am serious.

The media was a novelty at first, but then they started to get really annoying, and bloody troublesome.

Someone I know killed himself because of what I said to him when I caught him trying to forcibly get with my girlfriend.

good riddance?

Nope, being responsible for someone's death is no fun.

Yes but it wasnt exactly your fault.

The drummer for my old band, and a very close friend of mine, hung himself unexpectedly less than a year ago.
The boys saw him that night, he was happy and fine, and suddenly decided to go home. He said he'd catch up with everyone later at a gig. The boys then tried to call him later that night, he said he wasn't feeling up to it and he'd catch everyone later.
The next morning his Mum found him hanging from a tree in his backyard. No warning, no depression ... no nothing. He was a great guy, the life of every party and the type of guy who'd always put a smile on your face. He was an awesome drummer and I spent a lot of time at his house listening to music and downing some drinks, I miss him a lot.
He was the first person I'd ever lost at my age. His funeral was incredibly hard, and Im not sorry to admit I cried my eyes out. It was funny, typically him, during the service they played hardcore metal during a powerpoint presentation of him in various gigs and what not.
The saddest thing was as the service ended, they played 'Don't Forget About Me' by Simple Minds. Now I can't hear that song without being said or thinking of him.
This is probably way more info than anyone needed, but I promised myself I'd never forget about him, just like the song said. So this was one way I can remember him. Sorry for the rant guys.

i had a friend do that aswell blake...

he used to think he could see into the future by sticking his head into some sort of noose and one day when he was drunk he decided to do it lost his balance and couldnt get out of it so the poor bastard hung himself accidently....

strange world i tell ya
