Pool today.
Here’s a little update on my life. I used to think it a blessing that my life wasn’t characterless. Now it’s just ridiculous. Replete with a constant barrage of stress and headaches. My father’s in Mexico. My mother’s on her way. Handcuffed and jailed like criminals. They’re not drug dealers or thieves. One sped a little and the other “failed to yield”. The smallest charge is enough to get you deported if you’re not a legal resident.
My father has never been the best person I’ve known. I’m sure you remember how I used to write about his flaws when I was younger. He didn’t deserve that, though. No one does. Despite everything, he was always dedicated to his work. Everyone who crossed paths with him was enamored by his charisma. Fifteen years of work just gone in the blink of an eye.
Don’t get me started on my mother. She is a vessel for perseverance and kindness. My mother has always been my guiding light. It infuriates me to know she is being kept behind bars like a common lowlife insect. She’s not used to the type of people in there. She’s just a mom. Worked at a daycare center and liked going to yoga class. What kills me the most is that I can do nothing to get her out and bring her back to me. When you get the call, your world just stops. We were supposed to meet for lunch. We always do on Fridays. Distressing as it is, I know I’m not alone. They can’t take Katherine away from me. I have to keep working and pushing through until I can see light again.
Until then and since always,

Bleeding Through - Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire
It has almost been ten years since this album was released, and it’s still heavier than the majority of the music in its genre.
