I'm beginning to think my grandfather marrying a Spaniard ruined the family.

These Spaniards are trouble makers, it's in their genes. Looking at my family history my family was very upstanding until this Spaniard arrived. After the Spaniard had kids they all became trouble makers. My father became an alcoholic and before then there was no trace of alcoholism in my family. All their kids got put in foster homes because the Spaniard wouldn't take them in. It was probably better off that way because the Spaniard would have made them drink alcohol as teenagers.

My first friend was a Spaniard. His father was giving him marijuana when he was in 3rd grade. In the 7th grade the Spaniard gave me some marijuana to try. I didn't want to do that since it's really a bad thing to do when that young, but I gave in. It really messed me up and I got all anxious. It changed my personality.

In the coming years this Spaniard friend would get into a lot of trouble. I enjoyed hanging around with him because he was a trouble maker. But looking back it was really a bad thing because I'm sure this Spaniard ruined my life in some ways. I'm not friends with the Spaniard anymore. I broke off that friendship when I was around 23 years old...15 years too late.

We all know that Spaniards and North Europeans don't mix. Ever since the English sunk the Spanish Armada and took away their empire in the new world we've had blood feud. It's never really changed. These Spaniard genes must be at war within me.
