Dominique and D?

This is just a brief story about some cool kids I met the other night, from toronto. It's not funny but I thought it was sort of cool.

So the other night, me and my buddy were hanging out in a parking lot (Landsdowne, if you know ottawa) smoking weed and throwing a frisbee around. Yeah, fuckin easter weekend eh. And out of nowhere this guy and his girlfriend came up and struck up a converstation, not the least bit intimidated by the fact that we were older / complete strangers. WE found out why though...turns out these kids are form toronto and grew up extremely rough. We ended up talking to them for about an hour and a half, during which we found out that the girl used to get knocked around by family and the guy had been stabbed and shot(hes part black and apparently some black guy came up and told him to take off his white boy clothes, they got in a fight, the kids got shot. He showed us that scar, it was fucked) and been to juvi. The thing is, they were 16. Maybe its just because I grew up middle class but I've never run into that before. And it was just so cool that total strangers can spark up a conversation and entertain themselves for a couple hours like that, and also that kids that age could have been through that much shit, realized where they were heading and pulled theyre life together and fixed it....uhh...so this story doesnt really have a point, except strangers can be chill, and next time youve got nothing to do, go strike up a converstation.

Oh and the guy turned out to be a pro skateboarder and showed a bucnh of tricks on his board. And then a cop tailed us on our way to the ball courts.
