""i was born on decemeber seventeenth ninteen eighty nine. my mother and my father were involved in a very complex relationship. i was an illegitimate child since my parents weren't married and i was certainly unwanted at the time. my father got up and left my mother when i was three years old. he ran away with some woman he met while he worked at the local home depo. she was decorating her college dorm and he helped her pick out a new lamp or something. well, i don't know if this is true or not but this what my mother told me when we spoke over the phone for the very first time a couple months ago. anyways, my mother tried to raise me on her own but after my father left she began doing drugs and prostituting herself to make more money for our family. when i was five years old my mother was arrested for possession of heroin and unpaid charges for prostituting. i loved my mother. i still do. she always tried to make sure that every year i had a good christmas and that i went to school in nice clothing. she always made sure my hair was combed and that i ate. she really loved me and took the best care of me. i don't recall a lot from my past besides my mother bringing home random men. my mother also informed me that i'm one hundred percent greek and that's why my name is so greek also.

anyways, i lived in an orphanage for a year. it was a pretty tough year. i didn't really get along with all the other kids there. i stayed away from everyone and i was really quiet. i got into a couple of fights with older boys and i lost often but i had to defend myself. i was adopted in march to a really nice family. my adoptive mom's name is rebekah jensen and my adoptive dad's name is a anthony jensen. i also had an adoptive sister who was in the same orphanage as me. in the beginning rebekah couldn't have kids. no matter how hard they tried they couldn't. so they adopted me and alexandrina. though when i was in the fifth grade rebekah got pregnant with twin boys. i'll get into that later though.

i did very well in elementary school. all my teachers praised me for my writing skills. i always used very detailed language and i found writing stories to be incredibly fun. creative writing is one of my strong skills and i hope one to publish a book. but one of my down falls is that i'm a smart ass. this started showing in the fourth grade when i told my teacher to shove a book up her ass. she was being a complete bitch and didnt understand where i was trying to come from. i got so frustrated that the words just flowed out of my mouth. my adopted parents got upset with me but they got over it. i was suspended and that was my first real getting in trouble problem.

my deficiency and lack of respect for authority showed more during my middle school years. the cursing of teachers off got worse as i believed that i was smarter then others. i was too smart for my own good. but i continued to curse of teachers and such. girls thought i was pretty hot because i was such a bad ass. i lost my virginity in the eighth grade to some girl i dated for two weeks. we had sex and i dumped her. i really only wanted to get with her and end it. i never really wanted a steady relationship with girls. i wanted to continue with my writing, art and drums without being bothered. i'm a simple kid. i have my ups and downs. i'm just a smart ass and this is where it all started to show.

high school was pretty easy for me. i graduated fourth of my class. i really controlled myself with my anger and crap. i slept around a couple times and i spend my weekends smoking in my best friends basement. we always did some pretty wild things together. my best friend in high school was named david, and i will never forget what we did. driving drunk smashing mailboxes. running around town naked. getting arrested for doing this and having our parents pick us up. going to amazing shows together. jamming and smoking. oh, did i have the best times with that kid.

i went to college in seattle, washington. that's where i met a group of guys who changed my life for the best. i was planning on becoming an english teacher and i was majoring in english obviously. i formed a band with these kids that i went to college with and now they are my best friends. our band is pretty out there too. i drum, another obvious statement. we're called halfway sober and that was the opposite of what i was. in college i started doing coke. my past haunted me and my irrational decisions caught up with me. i knew i was screwed and i felt trapped. a friend of mine told me it would make me feel better. he laced a joint with it and i felt incredible. that's when i quit smoking weed and started snorting coke.

during one of my beginning tours i met this girl gideon. she was gorgeous and was the first girl i've ever had feelings for. she didn't talk much and i found myself rambling on and embarrassing myself. never once was i afraid of looking like a moron. i was always calm, cool and collect. not with gideon though. i was stuttering and using words in the wrong context and well i'm pretty sure she found it cute because i got her number. i didn't really have a sexual attraction towards her like most girls. i always had the wham bam thank you mam, but i wanted something to bloom with this girl. i texted her everyday. we talked about stupid things. we spoke about music and i found out that she was in a band. her band was touring with mine and the next tour we were doing also was with her band. i couldn't wait for the tour and sooner or later we hung out in person. hanging out in person became more regular and i kissed her. it was real and i felt a strong connection with her. that's when i asked her out and she said yes.

though, after i asked her out my coke addiction got worse. i also struggled for the attention of my real mother. we always talked on the phone, set up dates to meet up and she blew me over. i tried getting in contact with my dad and well he told me to give up. he wanted nothing to do with me, and it hurt me. it really did. how could one man be so heartless? this is one of the most tragic parts of my life, one day i took it out on gideon. i was arguing with my dad on the phone one day and that's when he told me to give up. he told me i was a mistake a lost cause. i went and snorted a line, gideon pointed out something stupid and i hit her so hard. i can still hear the slap in my head. it was one after the other.

this became more regular and i'm trying to stop coke. i'm trying not to hurt her. it sounds easy but it's not. "
