I graduated high school and tried out college. I wasn’t sure it was the right decision as the time. I have borderline A.D.D. so focusing was always an issue for me. Also I can't really participate in the most common college sport (i.e. partying) because I don't drink or do drugs.
Less than a semester later I decided to take a break from school. I then started up a pin business designing pins, buttons, and badges for bands and businesses. I made random designs and sold them at hardcore shows and variou
s shops. I even had a small crew of kids that would buy them from me wholesale and sell them at their schools. I began keeping a nice little database of all my clients. In addition to the pins, I worked once or twice a week at a silk screening shop as well as a record shop called "Newbury Comics". Almost every day when I went into work, I was given a different, completely random nickname for no reason whatsoever. I guess Johnny is an easy name to throw just about any word at the end of it? 'Johnny Appleseed', 'Johnny Coffeecakes', 'Johnny Cupcakes', 'Johnny Pancakes', etc... While working at the silk screening shop making t-shirts for the metal/hardcore band I use to be in, I thought it would be funny to make a couple random shirts that said 'Johnny Cupcakes' on them for the fun of it. So I did. www.johnnycupcakes.com/
