The second day I was back Jon basically fell off the face of the earth. I tried to get ahold of him and I couldnt. When I did this last spring. all he said to me was, "NICE BLOG, NEVER CALL ME AGAIN". So I called Gonz and was telling him about it. While I was on the phone with Gonz, Jon was calling in and Gonz took it and about a minute later clicked over and said to me, "You'll never believe who that was!" laughing. I said, "oh no!" I said, "what did he say?" Gonz tells me he said,"You can be my friend or Miranda's friend, If you keep talking to her I have people who will take care of you". I called Jon and left him a message. I told him that he was acting childish and that he was better than threatening people he concidered to be friends. Then this interveiw comes out. I thought to myself you know there are many acounts with Jon that I had that included alchol and two times where I saved his life by rushing him to the hospital. I thought it was unfair to the readers that they not know the whole story from a first hand experiance. This all happened exactly one year ago. I know people can change. It hadent even been a year sence these events happened that this interveiw was realased. In my opinion I think this interveiw was concocted because Jon is having a bit of a mid life crisis. I will say that there was some good times durring those two months with Jon. I went to the "Black Box" you know the Zero, Fallen, and Mystery park. I went to the guys birthday who co-owns blackbox at Hensleys flying elephant bar. I went to the filming with the fit team with jon and watched the boys ride. I did have a good time with him and he dose have a good heart but your actions speak louder than your words. If your going to come clean then you should tell the whole truth not just some of it. So heres my story complete with a photo of Jon and I on christmas. <a target="_blank" href="http
find work and things just werent working out. For Christmas Jon was going to take his kids to Chicago to see their grandparents. Jon tells me he didnt have his ID to get on the plane. I dont know if that was entirely the case because Carrie, Jon's Ex brought the kids over for Jon and the kids to go to Chicago. Carrie sent their son to the apartment. I heard him ask Jon if they were going to Chicago. Jon said, did my ID come? His son says, "mom said you have it". So they didnt go. Jon woke up later and asked me if it was Christmas. I said yes. I dont know if that was to try to brush off the feeling of abandonment. Im pretty sure it was. So after the Christmas inceedent he decided he was going to quit drinking. Which is a good idea but he was a severe alcholic. Three days before New Years he quit. On the Third day we were out doing errands. Jon wasent looking to well he was starting to shake. I asked him what can I do to help you? He said go to the store. So no questions asked I go to the store. His breathing was getting shallow and I was starting to get scared. Before I could fully park the car he had gone in and bought a bottle of Jeger. He told me to take him to the hospital. Though he absolutly hates the hospital. By the time I had drove him to the hospital he had drank half of the bottle of jeger. He was shaking, twitching, telling me he was cold. We got him in to see a doctor who gave him some medicine. The doctor told us that people often die from DT's from alchol. Jon and I were going to come up to portland but the car fucked up and we ended up not going. After that he told me Vince Kroff was going to come and stay. I said ok, shortly after that Jon got some money and put me on a bus so I could come home and make some money. Once I got back I couldnt get ahold of the people who were going to pick me up so I called Chet and he came by and gave me like 10 bucks to help me get a cab but then John Bristol came and helped me out. The se
Although Vince Kroff did a very good job on the interveiw. I would like to offer a bit more of an inside scoop behind Jon's drinking. I concidered wrighting this right after the issue relased. I decided not to although I still felt it unfair to deny the actual acounts of his life to the readers and the fans.
Jon and I met on myspace. Zac Costa refered me to Jons page as a mistake for Eddie Cleavland's page because I was trying to go to the meet the street jam to meet up with my cousin, and Zac said I could stay with him and Eddie while I was down there if I made it. I met Zac also online. Zac and my cousin, Charlie Buginge know eachother. I think from Solid. I was adding people from my cousins page because I was on a side kick and couldnt tell if it was my cousin or not. So after about two months of talking to Jon I got the money to come down to Oceanside to be with him. Before leaving I met up with Chester Blacksmith for a drink before I left and we talked about me moving. Chet expressed a bit of concern because in reality I hadent met Jon in person. I flew down to San Diego a few days after halloween, and lived with Jon for two months. Durring those two months there was only 3 day when Jon was sober. Jon only rode his bike maybe 4 times durring the time I was down there. Although I did try to encourage him to ride. Before I had moved down there I didnt realize that he was an alcholic. He explained that he thought he was getting a whole "myspace" package and I wasent what he had expected. We talked it out and this continued for two months we partied all the time even when we were at home. I made at least 1 to 2 runs to the seven eleven or liqour store a day to get that cheap wine or the cooks champgane and orange juice. Most of the time we slept watched movies in his room. Some times we had his kids. His kids are amazing. I wrote a blog about how he just disapeared after me comming back to portland because I couldnt
