ASHTON, caleb josiah

Hello, the name is Caleb, but I guess you could call me Caleb or CJ. . I'm twenty-three years old and currently making my way through life as a college student.

Everyone who knows me will be able to say that I'm impulsive, stubborn, too hard on myself, and too independent at times , but that I'm also pretty humble, courteous, reserved, and honest. They'd warn you that I love all types of food, cars, martial arts, sports, and culture and that I loathe dishonesty, disloyalty, conceited people, haughtiness, and hypocrisy .

I don’t really like talking about myself and putting myself into the spotlight. But I have learned and I continue to learn that I need not be so reserved. So here it goes…
I am the type of person who strives to accomplish the goals he has set, but nine times out of ten I let myself be my own worst enemy. I complete all tasks, but I place my work at a higher caliber than is judged. I continue to dwell on the past, putting myself down because I feel my mistakes are my own fault. I keep things to myself and I bottle up my emotions. To release a majority of this emotion or tension, I run. I tend to think clearly when I run. I said that I am my own worst enemy, and it is the truth. I expect more of myself that I do of others; this can be my downfall. Come what may.
I am a person who deals with the consequences of my actions
You may think that nothing good has been produced of my life, but the converse is true. Because of my personality, I have a small tight nit group of friends and loved ones who I care for deeply. It is only this tight nit group that knows the true me. Maybe we will be able to get to know one another.
I am told I am highly intelligent, and I believe that, hence I am pursuing a degree in Social Science and International Studies. I also have a strong passion for music. I play the piano and the guitar. My vocals skills are not the best in the world, but I don’t shatter glass and people do not throw rotten food when I am performing. So that should say something…

Hell. What else is there to say...? I'm the adopted son of William and Abigail Ashton and often people tell me I look like Kellan Lutz, but I consider that to be a little farfetched, don't you think...?

Graced with “All-American” good looks, charisma, and intelligence, one would assume that I would have the perfect life. However the contrary holds some truth…
In high school, I participated in almost everything imaginable. I was captain of the swim team, and I was a goalie for the rugby team. I was and I still am a jock.
I was born on February 16, 1987 to a single working class teenage girl in London who could not afford the life that she needed to raise me. I was put up for adoption after I got out of the hospital. I lived in the orphanage for about six months and I was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Ashton. The adopted me because they could not have children of their own. About six months after I was adopted, my sister was born. She was a gift of Grace. Luckily, our parents loved us equally, not showing favorites to one or the other.
London: I love this city. I could live here and never leave, well almost. Someone writing my biography would say that I was given a better chance. My [adoptive]mom, Abigail is a clothing designer and my father, William, is a prosecuting attorney that has experienced a very lucrative legal career. My childhood was pretty rote and pedestrian. My parents have a wonderful marriage- thirty years and counting. My sister and I look out for one another. Of course, it used to not be that way, she would instigate things and get me into trouble, but that is all in the past.
The night of my high school graduation was the worst day of my life. A friend, Sullivan Brother, threw a post graduation party. Alcohol and music were highlights of the occasion. After getting a little buzzed, I found my then current girlfriend Ava talking with a guy I did not really get along with. He was the kind of guy that seemed to weasel his way out of everything. I broke the two of them apart, it was innocent banter, but I was jealous. Ava and I argued for a few good minutes, putting on a good show for everyone – the power couple of high school fighting. We left the party and proceeded to go home, on the way home we continued to argue. While stopped at a red light, we continued to argue. The light turned green, I proceeded to drive across the intersection. I look over to Ava to apologize and I see headlights speeding towards us. Before we make it out of the intersection, we were pushed into the traffic signal post across the intersection – we had been hit by a drunk driver. Both of us were pinned in the vehicle – my door not able to open because of the light post, and Ava’s door not being able to open because of the drunk driver’s car – it felt like an eternity. I was told later that I had blacked out. The next thing I know I am seeing white lights of the hospital. Immediately I ask for Ava, my sister, who is standing in the room with me looked pale. I did not like the look on her face. Ava had passed away as the paramedics arrived.
Two months later, I decided to take the first year off from school and travel. My friends and family understood and supported this decision. Others did not, but their opinions don’t really count. That may sounds prudish, but it is the truth. During my year off I traveled around Europe. I returned older and I would think wiser.
I can’t say that I have not completely distanced myself from my past, but I have done a pretty good job. I am currently enrolled in King’s College studying Social Science and International Studies. I live on Jackson Street, in a two bedroom, two bath flat that I share with Sullivan Brother. I am able to afford this by my trust fund, yes I am a trust fund baby, but I also work hard. I am employed by Starbucks and I work there constantly.
When I am not attending school or working I am playing my guitar or sometimes I play the piano. I am nothing extraordinary, and I don’t have any original songs, I just know the popular songs. I do have a small gig at Rourke. The pay is good and the crowd is decent.
