hello everyone!! chris peeters here, Tonight i would like to talk about the importance of respect when you have roomates!!! I live with 3 of my close friends in a 4 bedroom house, we all share responsibilities around the house, chores etc etc. One of my roomates is zak He is 21 years of age and is from hamiota manitoba, he grew up in this town and was raised by his grandparents, zak has always had an intense interest in body modification and has over 30 piercings! zak became a professional body piercer around 6 months ago and is now working in a tattoo shop living his dream!!! zak and i are close because we share alot of the same beliefs and values!
My 2nd roomate is david parks. David and i have been friends for about 14 years now, we went to high school together and we became friends right around the time of a mutual downward spiral we both happened to be on around the same time period. I was very defiant and using drugs alot during high school and dave was always defiant as well but his defiance was in the field of learning computers and programming and he neglected alot of his regular schoolwork to persue his passion of learning computers and everything he could about how they worked, Programming languages, hardware, software and so on and so forth.
Me and dave became close around 10 years ago and to this day are best of friends and i value him very much, i confide in him and he confides in me and we can always be honest with one another even though sometimes it results in debates or arguments, we always say we are sorry and there is never any grudges against the other person!
my 3rd roomate is a guy by the name of kyle borsch.. I met kyle around 3 years ago during a time of isolation and depression in my life.. i was dating a young woman at the time by the name of fallon and a friend of hers named kali introduced me and kyle, We got along quite well as we shared alot of the same ideas about music, philosophy, and a general overall nihilistic attitude about humanity. Kyle moved away to alberta to work as a truck driver but that didnt quite work out so he began working at WAL-MART as a night manager and ended up doing quite well at this job, during the winter of 2010 his grandmother whom he had been very close passed away and he decided to move back to brandon and stayed with a couple of friends for a brief period, he then became homeless and i decided i would take him in and help him.
Kyle has always been fond of alcohol and when i met him he drank almost everyday but it never bothered me that much. Kyle lived on our couch for about 10 months before he was able to find a job driving taxi, when a room became available kyle moved into a bedroom. Kyle had always been respectul about people being asleep and kept his noise to a minimum. But around 4 months after he got the bedroom he began being loud and obnoxious! he would keep me awake by playing loud music and often have guests over at 2 am! I became increasingly angry about this situation because my job requires me to up at 6 am!!
This went on for about 2 months and then dave threatened to evict kyle so then kyle got his act together and settled down... here we are around 9 months later and BOOM we are right back where we started only this time the situation has gotten worse! Kyle has became violent with me and attacked me 2 weeks ago because his then girlfriend was behaving like a complete psycho and disrespecting EVERYONE in the house hold so i threw her out of our house and i was attacked by kyle
David has decided that it is time for kyle to vacate and he has until december 31st to find accomidations! i think i speak for everyone when i say that MUTUAL respect of one another is not only important but ESSENTIAL to maintaining a friendship and a calm environment for roomates!!!
