I like "John" I really do. I won't say who he is, but he is very connected to me. Or at least was. He's not a family member but I see him from time to time.

I've taken him to shows with me in the past (like hundreds of others). I am being "very" vague here. One of the main reasons, I personally don't feel he is "now" hurting anyone.

John has been in "jail or prison" constant all his life. He's older then me. The chances of him being out an "entire year", are very slim.

Now to hear him tell it (even to me), he shouldn't have been there at all (jail). Not even once. I however "know" him a little better then that. I know what he did before, and know what he "still does". Probably wouldn't matter anyway. He is "constant" watched by police.

John's name is "not" John. It's something different. John is a pretty "big" pot dealer. He never really gets caught for that, it's always something different. Why they never got him on that is "beyond me". Looking for something "bigger" maybe.. but I know all he does is deal "pot" now. Sooner or later "John" will fuck up and be back in jail for something stupid. The "pot" I couldn't care less about that. But he has been "caught stealing alot" (and prosecuted). I like him, don't trust him.

Wouldn't do the "Police" much good to "stake me out", see who I know. I quit pot like 20 years ago. I meet "hundreds" of people a month. Most are "bikers, tatoo artists" and others. All over the country, not a "central" area. Of course theres a "pot dealer or two" among them. You wouldn't have to be a "brain surgeon" to know that one.

Ok back to my point. And this directly refers to my last blog about the "Pirate". See, John has done "alot" of chit in his life. I know "what he's done", as well as "what he was prosecuted for". John can sit there, and tell anyone to their face (even after prosecuted), "I didn't do it". When "personally I know for a fact he did". He tries to "vindicate" himself (Like the Pirate), when he knows the truth. Some others do too. Just something "clicks" in his head.. to say basically "I was framed"...

"Lots of Johns" in this world. You better believe that one.
