#TBT By the time I was 16 yrs old, I had already enrolled in four high schools across the country due to being evicted and lil' trouble with the law.. McKinley HS (Honolulu, HI), Glencliff HS (Nashville, TN), McGavock HS (Nashville, TN), Freedom HS (Bethlehem, PA). I was also 6'4 225lbs, rockin' a dead caterpillar on my lip (aka the porn 'stache) and all the kids in every high school thought I was an undercover cop cause I looked like a mutated, yet handsome SOB of a man child. Plus in Nashville I was already hangin' out in honey tonk dive bars on Music Row and hustlin' cars from crackheads. Yup, one of the many reasons why I'm a grateful man for the life I have today and also grateful I straight up kicked puberty's ass early in life. #GodBlessSamoanAndBlackGenetics #AndGodBlessOurTeenageYears #AndWTFWasIThinkingWithThisMustache

“Pada saat saya berusia 16 tahun, saya sudah terdaftar di empat sekolah menengah di seluruh negeri karena digusur dan masalah dengan hukum,” membaca bagian dari teks yang menyertai foto yang diposting pada 43 tahun Akun Instagram, Twitter, dan Facebook. “Aku juga 6’4 £ 225, rockin ‘mati ulat di bibirku … dan semua anak-anak di setiap sekolah menengah mengira aku polisi yang menyamar karena aku tampak seperti SOB yang bermutasi, namun tampan dari seorang anak laki-laki.”

Sekitar waktu itu, ia menambahkan, ia berada di Nashville, di mana ia “sudah hangin keluar di bar-bar penyelam tonk (honky) di Music Row dan mobil-mobil hustlin dari crackheads.”

Johnson menawarkan beberapa wawasan masa kini dengan nostalgia-nya. “Yup, salah satu dari banyak alasan mengapa aku orang yang bersyukur atas kehidupan yang kumiliki hari ini,” tulisnya, “dan juga bersyukur aku langsung menendang pantat puber sejak awal kehidupan.”

Banyak foto Johnson yang lebih baru juga menjadi berita utama. Pada bulan Mei, ia secara singkat membuat rekor untuk kebanyakan narsis (105) dalam tiga menit; pada bulan Juni, ia menabrak mobil, tetapi bersorak dan berpose untuk foto bersama pemiliknya, yang dilaporkan “menolak menerima uang”; dan pada bulan Agustus, Johnson berbagi foto dirinya dengan seorang penderita kanker yang disebutnya “inspirasi saya.”

*** I posted this story on Easter about this inspiring kid and fateful meeting. Story made national headlines and I just saw him again and have a new update on him that I'll share w y'all later today. But first here's the original story as a refresher. Enjoy.. ** Cool story to share on Easter.. After my workout I'm drivin' in my pick up and notice these kids in the rearview mirror screamin' & runnin' after my truck. Thought to myself, "Should I stop or keep drivin'?" I stopped. I hop out of my truck and this kid runs up to me, hugs the hell outta me and says it's been his life's dream to meet me and tell me how much I've inspired him to fight cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and hard core chemo and stem cell transplant treatments. He was a little teary eyed and said for months and months all he's wanted to do was find me and say this face to face. I told him what it meant to me to hear this story. I thanked him, hugged him (and his friends), got back in my truck and drove away. As I'm drivin' I start shaking my head (and tearing up) at how fragile life is and how amazing and cool the universe was to make this meeting happen between myself and this special kid Nick Miller. Let's always take a moment to count our blessings.. cause there's always something to be grateful for. Happy Easter y'all – DJ
