I never understood why it's so hard to spell 'Phoenix' right. I mean there's no 'pheo' sound in 'Phoenix' like there is 'theo' in 'Theodore' for example. And why is it always 'Pheonix' but never 'Pheobe'? Can someone solve this mystery?



some things are not meant to be understood, it could throw off the entire balance of the world.

You know how you have to put your email address in an online form to sign up for things? That gets sold to data brokers. Have you bought a certain kind of cheese for 10 years and switched? They know. Basically any time you've written down your name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, etc, it goes into a database tied to you.

Do you use the same fake information though? Experian knows I sometimes use the name Keith Johnstone. If even one morsel is true they can tie it to you.

I just found out some horrible news and want to serve it as a warning to everyone
My uncle who was a very experiences and licensed sailing captain. He ran a company taking tourists out on his sailboat and showing them bermuda.

He was out on his boat at these islands that he loves with friends drinking. Some of the story remains a mystery as the investigation is still underway but he dove into the water to un lodge the anchor which had been stuck on something.

He surfaced unconscious and the passengers on board failed to get him out of the water and administer cpr in time to save his life.

EVERYONE should know cpr and you should not hesitate, there is no time for "omg what do we do" i

I dont know the full story but the morale is no matter how experienced you are at something alcohol can impair that skill. And even the most experienced person at anything can make a mistake when drunk.

Do not drive drunk, do not pilot a boat drunk and do not lack the balls to act.

7 people watched my uncle drown to death last night in a completely avoidable incident. He was considered one of the most experienced sailors in bermuda.

Im not saying to not have fun, i had drinks with him on the boat 1000 times. But piloting at night and intoxicated is a recipe for eventual disaster.

But most importantly, KKNOW CPR and dont be a fucking pussy. It breaks my fucking heart that if someone had there shit a little more together i might still have an uncle.

End rant please any negativity keep it to yourself.
Yes i know this isnt facebook etc sometimes it helps to rant your thoughts out somewhere and its better that its not fb.

it sucks( RIP)
I did drive a boat while being....pretty fucking drunk, I couldn't go straight but I wasn't going any fast and wouldn't dive while drunk(drunk and swimming = drowing which is the reason I allway have my safety jacket on while I drink on a boat)
actually my Anchor got stuck, twice about a month ago while I was buttfuck in the wood and we were in a thunderstrom with huge wave and we were on a real small boat, I wouldn't have dived even tho the Anchor was only 6-7 feet deep, I'd cut the rope 100 times before diving, unless we're 2 going, even then...

Im not at all saying he didnt make a mistake, he dove in thinking he knew rhe waters too well for anything to go wrong, he swam drunk on a daily basis (thats what happens when your an alcoholic bermudian) and thought he was untouchable in the water and on his boat, we suspect there was a rock and he hit his head/lost consciousness underwater and that it was too dark to see what was under the surfaces, it was 1 in the morning, its foolish to pilot the reefs st that hour let alone dive.

He should have cut the line, he probably even had a spare anchor aboard, but alcohol impaired his decisions and it cost him his life.

He was a grumpy asshole but secretly one of the kindest men i ever knew, needless to say imm pretty fucked up over it. So many people you are secretly mentally preparing yourself to loose (my grandmother with alzhemiers for example) but when its an accident and someone young it really knocks you off your fucking feet.

He had just rented out his house for the next 2 years to sail the Caribbean and live on his boat. His mortgage was paid and his boat was paid, he was excited to retire to a life of sailing and chartering tours for grocery money.

Rest in peace :(

Im so atheist but shit like rhis makes me want to be wrong...
