LEMONS TO LEMONADE

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA -- While it looks like John was having a good time in this photo; this was actually a low point where John almost did not go out -- as Johns' teeth were so badly infected from losing multiple nights of sleep due to the egregious stalking and harassment he was experiencing at the time.

It all started one night at the Oasis Nightclub when one of Johns' old friend recorded Jon singing KC and the Sunshine bands' "Get down tonight". John had essentially been singing the same 6 or so songs for many years at the time; so John started recording his own karaoke performances and putting them up on You Tube. This was also around the same time John was being harassed and stalked nearly to death by various people who lived in his neighborhood. 

The constant night time disturbances got so unbearable that John ultimately had to leave his house on Friday and Saturday nights just to avoid it. John initially drank moderate amounts of alcohol once per week on the weekends for karaoke; then split a beer with his Dad sometime in the middle of the week -- but after the extended stalking campaign John experienced; John ended up drinking alcohol both Friday and Saturday nights -- and eventually every day at one point in time. 

John then visited a dentist who told John that an infection in his teeth had gotten so bad that it could burst into Johns' brain and kill him. John had lost so much sleep during this extended and egregious harassment/stalking campaign that the infection festered to a dangerous point. John then stopped singing and drinking alcohol for about 7 months after the infected teeth were removed; and then returned to sing karaoke again at the Oasis Nightclub.

Sometime later after karaoke host Doug Ward  attacked John in front of the Oasis Nightclub and had John ejected from the Oasis Nightclub (go to: http://addendumblog1.blogspot.com/2014/03/oasis-nightclub-karaoke-host-doug-ward.html > with the help of Sunnyvale D.P.S. Officers Smith and Ochoa > go to: https://lreblogger.blogspot.com/2019/11/posdps-officers-smith-and-ochoa-illegal.html) John first went to Woodhams Lounge  to continue singing karaoke; but was eventually attacked in a similar fashion once again (?!?); causing John to call the S.J.P.D. before being ejected from Woodhams Lounge as well!?! (Note: John was essentially ejected from Woodhams Lounge for calling the police about the attack; then eventually retaliated against by the bartender/owner!?! > go to: http://addendumblog1.blogspot.com/2013/02/woodhams-bartender-retaliation.html). 

John eventually stopped singing altogether for about one year after the death of his good friend Jimmy Finley; which happened around the same time that John was ejected from Woodhams Lounge (go to: http://addendumblog1.blogspot.com/2013/11/illegal-use-of-united-states-military.html). John then taught himself how to play bass; starting the recording of about 50 hair-raising protest songs that are now in the pre-production phase of development. (No Justice; No Peace; Son of a Cop etc etc etc).

What is the main point if this blog post? John knew the whole time that the loads of stinky bullshit  being piled on top of his head (by rogue elements of the United States government etc > go to: http://addendumblog1.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-usa-bullshit-act.html) was going to be consequential; therefore John proceeded to sing and record about 250 songs to get him ready for eventually singing in a band as revenge. In other words; John knew the whole time that he was making lemonade from the lemons he was being served up.
