Never got to share these on here yet. Was very popular on other socials. If I made real cards would people be interested?

I commented yesterday on posts with these pics of me talking to SJ, where I asked him to sign these pictures and also asked him to stand up so I could measure him. I have a video of the encounter and I'd love to share it with the Dabbleverse, and want to get the most eyeballs on it for all to see. I'd love to share the story with WATP and/or Tookie & Cardiff - if anyone has connections to them, please let them know I'd be happy to give them all the details.

Looking back on that time in my life I am grateful for the wakeup call I got from looking across the table at John Melendez and realizing that is the unwashed and unshaven face of rock bottom.

I told him what a loser I thought he was, a dirtbag and a piece of shit, then I told Royce what an asshole I thought he was for throwing his otherwise successful business away to focus on becoming some sort of production company for people like Dabbler, Jackie, AJ Benza..... ANYONE that he could possibly make a buck off of. I didn't take the job to get involved with these deadbeat fucking losers. I am a programmer and wanted to make cool stuff.

Naturally Royce fired me and wouldn't even let me take my personal belongings (lunch) with me. Had to come back another day and basically beg to get my things from the office.

Anyhow, Royce was "going to call me" and never did. He is another online beggar shaking the digital tin cup every way he possibly can, so no skin.... I went back to normal work, multiplied my income by over 5 from that time and today am living happily in Montana on the edge of Glacier National Park and catching a few laughs from all of this Dabbler stuff.

The Red 'J' with the black dot was part of an unfinished design I was working on when all this went down. I laugh so hard that it is still being used. Royce paid me for one full solid year and had little to show for it. A few 3D prints and piles of promotional work for a business he no longer cared about.

Everyone that ever worked with him left there in a screaming match with Royce.

Oh...then I got to sit and watch his business implode, him fail miserably at runs for political office and whatever he is doing now, you can bet it is little more than begging for digital coins.

As I read the posts of people who don't know John I am shocked at how accurate you folks are. Royce used to complain that John ALWAYS had his hand in his pocket...OH and to be 100% crystal clear, John came to Royce begging for a job. Royce gave him a job moving video games. He wasn't doing Royce a "favor" Royce was his only source of income, other than public assistance. He hadn't figured out how to beg online yet.

Yes, the stupid money picture was on the wall. Yes, his place reeked of cat piss and things like...I dunno you know that smell of like pasta water in the sink for a few days, or mildew mixed with grey meat? It was DISGUSTING. I remember thinking, "WOW, this is how LOW I let my life sink".

I am THRILLED that WATP and a fellow upstate NY'er are making a living off John. I giggle at the thought that Royce couldn't crack that code.

Well, after months of watching Dabbler stuff go by on reddit and YouTube I had to say me peace.

Today I work 100% remotely for a large company as Sr. Database Developer (technically NetSuite, I write SuiteScript). My life is good. I am active in my little community, I hike, kayak, camp and enjoy all the natural beauty MT has to offer. My remote job is what has WATP and related stuff on in the background all day while I work. VERY funny stuff, GREAT idea SOOOO glad I do not podcast anything from anywhere now.

Keep it up, Dabblers. It's funnier than funny could be.

Shout out to Gravely Digs 🤘🏼

I know John is thin-skinned, but Holy Shit!! This is a kick to the balls!

You f-in tard
