I still can't believe how someones life can be easily taken away. When I see the bulletins and comments that people leave for Christian. It makes me sad how someone could just be gone. I got the chance to hang out with Christian. Cool guy man, really nice to talk to, I would never think that he'd start that fight. But fuck man it hurts. Tonight made me realize not to take life for granted.
Me, Mikey, his sister, and brother along with liz and farfan hung out at some kickback in Rowland Heights. Pretty chill just drank, smoked and talked to couple of cool cats. All of mikeys friends. Lizz got called by Adrian [her friend] about some party in Hacienda Heights. So they left the kickback and went to the party along with Mikeys sister and brother. So me and mikey hung out with some cool people just talking. Talking about Christians death and how they grieve that it would never happen to one of there loved ones or good friends.
After we left the kickback and headed over to the party in the heights. It was still going on. We then found parking and walked down to the party were we met Liz and mikeys brother and sister. We then go inside to check out the party. It was whatever just a bunch of Scene kids and couple of Emo kids and hardcore kids. Then I guess the birthday girl got mad at some peeps tried to kick them out. Did'nt want too, so she slapped one of them I guess to get out and these two bitches started jumping the chick. So I guess Mikey tried to stop the fight along with some other people.
After the arguing kinda slowed down some hardcore kid kept on talking shit to Mikey while he was being held by some chicks. Fucking pussy didnt say anything when we waited for him outside. So mikey confroted him and then socked him the face twice. They then got at it mikey tottally beat the shit out of him. Did'nt leave with no marks on his face. Just pavement burnts from his upper shoulder and elbow. After we left the party Lizz my friend was mad at us because she didnt want us to fight. Which now when I think about it is dumb. Fighting is the whole reason our friend got killed. And I dont know I dont feel right tonight. I just left mad and furious. All that was thinking in my head was that guy Christian. Just thinking how this fight that happened tonight was nothing compared to his. And how violenve follows and lurks everywhere you go.
It sucks, it really sucks. Loosing someone that is loved by many. I'm glad I got to hang out with a cool cat like this guy. I'm glad we talked about Skinhead culture and music while drinking a couple of beers and enjoying a good night with good friends. He will forever be missed. May he rest in eternal peace and be at peace in a place better then this world.
Christian "Diesel" Melgoza.
