About Me

Time to update this page again for the people who dont really know to much bouts me, SO for the people who dont know me... names Jonathan Birch.  I'm 21 years old, I DID live in Ladner, which is sorta near Vancouver BC but I then moved to Oshawa, Ont. to be with my amazing girlfriend Hope. . . Well... she was my girlfriend she, broke up with me two months after I moved across the country for her.  Now I've again moved BACK to Ladner I was in Oshawa for six months and well... it was a learning experience for me I do regret some things about it because it changed alotta things I didnt want changed.  But in other ways i'm glad i moved there, I did meet alotta new people who do mean alot to me like Steph, Alana and her family, Bill and  Justyna.  Life has become quite different now, last year I'd never ever had so much happen in one year.  Last Jan (2002) I had my first girlfriend ever Michelle (yes 19 and my first girlfriend, I am a loser) and thought I'd be going to Australia to be with her, and well... obviously none of that ever happened.  I ended up finding my Angel.  There is still a big part of me that wants to see Hope again. . . she is still the only happiness I've ever known.  But its all up to her. . . but who knows what could happen, life changes every single day you cant plan for life.
As you can see on the rest of my page Music is a huge part of my life.  I play guitar, I own 4 guitars right now 2 electrics, a black yamaha and a blue Ibanez, EX series, and one electric acoustic and one spanish style acoustic.  I've been playing for i guess 8 years now, the one thing i acctually KNOW is I AM a really good guitar player!  Hopefully soon i'll be in a band, I write lyrics or poems watever you wanna call them, alot too so maybe i could be lead singer or something.  I love going to see bands play live, its the best way to hear a band.  If a band is good live thats what matters.  I've seen TONS of bands live... as you can see on my "Music = Life" page.  What else... i'm a pack rat lol, i keep everything and i sorta collect alot of thing, i've got tons of different figures, i've got almost 300 movies and i think close to 200 CD's.  YES i'm a geek, a nerd, loser whatever but I'm hardcore ok!  And I think I'm real. . . one day i'll put what that means to me on this site, cause I talk about it alot on here with music and everything so we'll see.

Now that you've read a lil about me... how about a quick life story sorta deal.
Ok well I grew up in Ladner, some stupid lil town in the middle of nowhere, I've been dying to get out of here forever.  I dont really have to many if any memories of my life before i was 8 or 9. . . I really dont remember any of it... theres some like flashes and small memories but thats all.  Its really like i wasnt alive untill i was 10.  Maybe I was happy before that or something.  One of the older memories i remember is i got in trouble from my parents, i dunno what the fuck it was about but it was just after Kurt Cobain died.  At that time i didnt really even know anything about him except he killed himself.  So i got really upset and just said "I wish i was Kurt Cobain" and of course my parents got even more pissed at me so the quickest thing i could think of was to say "I ment like i want to be a big famous rock star"  I guess that was kinda the first time i ever compared myself to Kurt Cobain, and the first time I even remotely thought of being famous.  Thats when everything started to me i guess.  My parents seperated that winter..... or the next i'm not sure... I remember when my mom told us.  It was just after New Years eve... so i guess it'd woulda been January of either 95 or 96.  Then by my birthday (Feb 6th for those who dont know) we were in a new house.  I guess alot of people would think that the divorce affected me somehow but i dont really think it did.  I just kinda was like... well.. whatever.  I guess that was about the time i stopped crying tho... i guess i musta been 12 or 13 when i stopped crying.  In school i never had any friends, you might think i mean only a very few friends... no.  I mean NO friends zero.  Before high school maybe one or two... but they all started leaveing me or turning on me in grade 5.... by grade 7 i had only 2 real friends left... and by the next year in high school only 1.  He has always been a friend to me but i hardly ever see him at all anymore.  I never had a girlfriend in high school, i was too shy and any of the girls i ever liked were too busy laughing along side they're boyfriends at me.  So thats around when i stopped talking, because anybody who ever tried to talk to me.. was just pretending to talk to me so i'd say something they could make fun of.  I dont really remember a day in my life from the age of 12 or 13 on that i didnt think of killing myself.  I still dont have a clue what stopped me. 
I think i'll wait till later to write more...
