In 1576 War broke out between France and Tiberia. France would go onto win two one in a penalty shootout 14 months later. The tiberian Penisula would be renamed New Paris Peninsula. Four hundred years later in 1977 three men Charley, Harry & Will would arrive in Botswanna where they would trade a wooden sheild stolen from the Makiawata Tribe some three hundred years earlier. THey traded it for a diamond encrusted diamond that once sat around the neck of Queen Mefratittie. Ten weeks later England recorded it's hottest day on record, on that same day two of the three men died from the pox. On April the sixth 1977 I came into the world. What do all of these things have in common, probably not much, but I'm not here to talk about all that anyway.

When we come into this world we are totally helpless, kind of like my half-sisters 16 year old son. After birth we don't have much, no fancy watch or diamond ring, we're essentially born with none of it. unless you're born into money, then you probably have lots but you don't yet realise it because of your age. All babies are stupid, even the clever one's. They can't throw a ball or use a slide whistle. My point is babies are lame and they stay lame for a long time, but there also cute so they get away with it.

When I was born I must not have been that cute because my parents didn't look at me and say I'm going to do nothing but look after this lame little human until he becomes less lame and able to do something for himself. Instead they through me in a skip bin and pretended it was a phantom pregnancy. That's when you think you're pregnant but it turns out you've just been lying to everyone while georging on ice-cream and donuts.

I would have surely died if it wasn't for a young dreadlocked freegan couple who raised me as their own. A freegan is a person who eats trash to save money. Cody and Skylar loved me like any drug addled couple would, poorly. But atleast they didn't discard my like a six inch tuna sub someone through away because they actually asked for chicken. Cody and Skylar were keen on surfing but took up drugs instead because they couldn't afford their own boards.

They named me Moonlight but the people who authorise names said that was stupid The agency responsible for names called me Ricky and Cody and Skylar accepted the outcome because they were very unassertive and didn't want to make a scene. Their last name was Browne so I took on their last name, They were half brother and sister, but after hooking up a couple of times they decided their DNA was disimilar enough that it wouldn't be weird if they made it official. The parents didn't mind because they were dead on accoount of the violence in the city during the early 80's.

While my name on the certificate was Ricky Cody and Skylar called me Jacknife because they thought it sounded cool and people would be less likely to mess with me.
