John's Old School New Skool Barber Shop

Hello former patrons of Old School New Skool. I have been away from Schwenksville for quite some time now and I will ask of all of you if it would be ok if I came back to Schwenksville to live not to open a business yet I enjoyed living there yet I don't want anyone to hate me being there or throwing rotten vegetables at me this is John of course will everyone weigh in please. Let me know yay or nay?

You want a post here is a post . I was an opiate addict thanks to a place called Malvern I went to for 35 days it saved my life I have almost 11 months off opiates now and that's a miracle I may have had an ex wife who might work with books but never read one and she kept me addicted to opiates because I was easier to control so when I decide to close the shop and get help she begins to realize she had no control so over me she kept me an addict even tho she didn't do the stuff there is a post here is a better one I work at Sal's Barbershop at Plymouth Meeting . Go there I am done no more shops for me no sireeee .

Well what do you know?!?

Congratulations to our good friend and former coworker Tony Rodriguez opening Rusty Scissor in the same location that used to be OSNS . We wish Tony many years of success he is an awesome dude and glad to call him a friend.

Folks this is your friendly neighborhood has been here me and my much younger much hotter girlfriend and I are back together and still engaged to be married . Life is a many splendored thing filled with many joys that out shine the sadness I realized things arent always as they seem with other people and that hard work isnt always a benefit in fact at times its a hindrance . I am grateful for those well wishers who are compassionate and know of my struggles . As mentioned in ...previous posts John the Barber is merely another character I play . My life was filled with sleight of hand and grifts and as a con artist I have worn many hats so to speak. I am building a life here with my beloved Courtney and she is building a life with me . She is my biggest fan and I am hers we had dinner at Samanthas Tap Room and Grill and other than the flies on the patio it was awesome. We even took Gypsy the Chihuahua with us .Downtown Little Rock has given us both time and means to find our way . Things are getting better every day . Be well fare Schwenksville folks . This is the man formerly known as John the Barber saying be well and be happy . See more

Hello friends and supporters this is the has been formerly known as John the Barber things are getting better one day at a time Christ found me and I am with His Flock dont hate on me it was bound to happen I share openly about my years of drug addiction and my infidelity hoping I may help someone . Barbering was always a creative outlet for me and I fancy myself a pretty good barber yet a barber shop is not the atmosphere I need to be in right now . God has a plan for me . I... dont know what it is yet he has one nonetheless. There are many who wanted to see me do well when I was doing wrong . I want all of you to know I left more out of shame and disgrace than of my own will . Thats a lovely town there with some real potential and me I was a poison in the well. Perhaps I may return one day or live with grief that I never stayed either way I am starting a new path in life and hope those of you who didn't find their way to my friend Shawn Burns for services found a barber who pleases you. I am a thespian folks an actor that shop was my stage. I performed for so long as John the barber I never knew who I really was . I am on a soul searching mission to find peace in life and purpose for all the good i did i did equal and worse bad as well . What I am asking is for forgiveness from that community and for good luck in my future prospects. I love all of you and wish nothing but peace and happiness to all the angry men who found out i slept with their wives daughters and sisters well take a look at your own lives I am living mine I was a hedonist and now i am a humble man who can admit my own faults. Thats a great town you have there it will only get better . Great things will happen for all of you and know that me Old Jacky Boy well I will find my place in this world again and when i do you better believe i won't take it for granted. Namaste ! See more

Folks this is your friendly neighborhood has been reporting from Little Rock Arkansas on this beautiful 91 degree breezy day and wanted to let you all know I put my addiction to heroin on front street hoping my struggle can help someone wbo may be struggling with addiction things aint easy yet the last five and a half months are better than all the money and all the pussy in the world i wake up every day and I aint dope sick needing a fix I am sorry i screwed some folks over ...i needed to get my head right I can honestly say I am free and if you are struggling you too can be free there is help twelvr step programs saved my lifr cuz I been trying to kill myself for decades to no avail . My life is good today praise be to Jesus and the Holy Spirit wanted to put that out there . If you need help ask someone ask me I will point you in the right direction. See more

Folks I am lost and confused and though I may have been and could continue to be a mediocre or perhaps better barber I never had balance and I am antisocial and contemptuous as well as full of value I never had I value healthy relationships with people . Of course I never had any myself I do value them. I do care if there are those who don't understand why or what I allowed to happen to my self . I allowed a substance that exists no more to dictate life for me I was a heroin ...addict for three decades and I lost purpose by giving up use of this substance that turned everything off when El Chapo was busted this stuff now is Fetty or Fetty Wap or Carriewap and it is killing people . They have no right calling the poison they are Killing everyone with heroin not my darling wife of thirty plus years. I am vehemently against this evil substance that has taken many lives I have loved. I am posting this to say I will probably always be a man of carnal hedonistic pleasure and will always be non-conforming in nature and will not fit any mold and i am content with that because I am looking for 2 things in life the last 47 years that are not things and I ain't found them yet at all so I will continue my search for that which I NEED not want , NEED. So until I find them I don't know that I will ever return to barbering or any other profession for that matter unless I can make a living doing conflict resolution and that is a hard pill to swallow most days in itself . Love and light to all of you I respect and miss everyone and should I return to barbering or antique or art business it will be on my terms with new allies and some you may have never guessed yet I will be sole proprietor of my own souls propriety. Namaste! See more

Apparently people want to know in great detail why I am not working as a barber any longer well folks I will tell you why that is. It is because I never felt as though I was good enough to keep it up I lived the last few years my shop was open wanting to kill myself as I lived in a constant state of suicidal despair and doubt of my own skills . I loved barbering it was my life and my passion yet I never felt good enough I never felt as though I was worthy . I am being falsely... accused of something even now and it is preposterous and the oppressors who slander my name are very convinced of my guilt and I am not i wish to confront these people as I am not a man who forces my way in anyone . It is got me making realizations about who or what I have become as a person I thought I was a gentleman and I thought I was a good person apparently I am not the man I think I am. I am flawed and without purpose in life I have given up my daily use of heroin since April 21 2017 and I now feel as though I lack even more purpose in life and I am truly lost I live in a constant state of fear and panic and I despise it.
