I did some Googling today to see if I could find out stuff about old friends. So I searched for my old friend punk Johnny and I found out that he died of pneumonia three years ago. He didn’t have a very pleasant life unfortunately. He was involved in a thing that would be known in the Swedish press as Punkmordet (the punk murder) where Johnny and another friend of mine was in a fight with another group. Johnny ended up stabbing one of them to death.
Just a couple of months after he got out of prison I remember finding needles in one of his drawers in his room. He fell into a serious drug habit, that finally took his life. Many said that he got of easy just because he was so young, but I think he paid his due.
The last time I talked to him was probably five or six years ago, when he called me to ask about an old macintosh computer. He sounded like he was in a terrible state.
Sad.

That’s sad. It’s amazing what you can find on the Net. I am sure your friend has gone to a better place. Obviously he had a troubled life here on earth. Maybe things will be different in the after life.
What after life? It’s what you do here and now that counts!
Yeah, in this life, and the next, and the next…
