Hi Beatle People! Hmm...Let's see. 1. His birthday is 6 days after mine [= 2. We both have brown hair/ brown eyes 3. ME+JOHN=CHOCOLATE LOVERS! 4. I'm obsessed with writing 5. I always feel the need to read anything and everything 6. All of my dreams are in color, (unless I'm dreaming about A Hard Day's Night ) and all of my dreams are surreal *And I don't know if this counts, but the number 4 always pops up in my life like the number 9 did in John's. For example: My house number adds up to four, I was born on a Wednesday the 4th day of the week, my favorite band has 4 members, there are 4 people in my family, I've lived in 4 different towns, my number in school was always 4, and if you really want to get technical, the digits of my birthday (10/3) add up to four if do this: 1 divided by 0=1+3=4 But that's kind of pushing it lol

1) My fav number is 9 2) I dont kow if im crazy or a genius. 3) We both sorta have the same hair color (from his later years) I'm not much like John, he's a bit TOO crazy and weird. But I still love him. I think I'm more like George or Paul.

Uhm I think I have nothing in common with him, and this is the reason why he inspires me so much and the reason why I usually try to be like him...
But, probably, I'm a little bit crazy like him xD.

I have too much in common with John to go into them all here really....but I think more people than realize it have a lot of these things in common actually. That's what made John so relatable to most folks. A few things I have in common with him; I didn't grow up in a house with my mother. She lost legal custody of me and my sisters when I was about two. She lived right around the corner for a bit though, so as I got older I used to go visit her, but before then, she only visited me briefly and then went home. I remember hating it whenever she left, but I wouldn't show it. I didn't want to cry all the time. She bought me my first guitar though after I expressed an interest in playing....and I learned how to play by watching John's finger placement on the frets during a Beatle's performance re-televised on TV. I'm a poet. A songwriter. Written a few anyway. I'm a writer. Written one novel, lots of short-stories and sattires. I'm an artist. Been drawing since I was a wee lass. I can remember in pre-school teaching other kids how to properly sketch and add shadowing and light to faces. My teachers used to think I was tracing photos, but were forced to shut-up about that when I would draw a picture in front of them. Ah-ha! So THERE, Teachers! I was a rebel in school. Different. Didn't care for the trend-setters or the 'populars', but preferred setting my OWN trends. A lot of boys liked me in school but considered me unapproachable, and didn't tell me 'til much later that they liked me at all. They thought of me as intimidating. I played in a band after highschool. Rhythm guitar and sometimes keyboards. I drank too much. I used to goof off with my friends and was always the one to make wisecracks and have everyone laughing. I still do that with my adult friends these days, only on a much more modest scale. We're grown-ups now, after all, aye? I don't drink much anymore as I have a horrible temper when I drink in excess...and sometimes I don't know when to stop. I REALLY can't drink rum. Makes me go off like a rocket. I smoke, but try to quit at least once a year. I wear glasses, but not as often as I should. My eye doc will atest to the fact that I need them dreadfully all the time, but I can't bring myself to put them on until it's absolutely necessary....like when I need to see something outdoors or on the TV. I'd apparently rather read the paper with my face practically pressed to it. I have a lovely nephew that I love like a son and helped raise with my sister. His name is Sean...and ironically, his and John's baby photos look almost exactly like the same child. I taught him to play guitar when he was only 3. He's 30 now and has grown into an amazing musician. His favorite song when he was a little boy was "I Am the Walrus", but the first one he learned to play on guitar was Macca's "Take it Away"...'cause the chords were easy. Oh, and Sean's best friend's name is Julian. Funny, aye? They hang out together at my house a lot and I call them both 'my sons'. I'm a chronic insomniac who would prefer to stay up til the sun rises and sleep until after noon. Due to my work, unfortunately, I can't. But if I become an artist full-time, you never know what might happen. I still love to play music. I haven't abandoned my trusty old rhythm, but these days I play keys more and about 20 years ago I discovered that I love playing bass guitar too. So I guess I'm a bit like John and Paul. On December 8th, 1981, the first year anniversary of John's death, I saw a glowing but transparent-white apparition in my bedroom when I awoke middle of the night, and it communicated with me telepathically that it was John. I knew it was from the moment I first saw it because I felt his presence very strongly...but wasn't a bit afraid of him. He felt very peaceful and friendly. He just wanted to let me know that he understood. That's all. It was during a time in my life when I was suffering a great trauma very much like something he'd been through....and after I saw that apparition, I instantly felt comforted. These days I live with a wonderful, beautiful and intelligent man who was born in Wales, raised mainly in Manchester, but has traveled and lived several places throughout the UK. He's involved in the arts too and through his unique blend of accents, his voice sounds a bit like John's to me lots of times, so needless to say, I listen to him talk all day and thoroughly enjoy it....although he claims I barely let him get a word in.

You saw him? That's weird and amazing at the same time, but I think I would scream if I saw an apparition of something. Well, maybe if it was John I would feel good. As I said before, I do have quite a few things in common with John (page 1), and I like to think that there are some more that I haven't found yet.

It was really amazing. Some people might be scared seeing something like that....and I can totally understand. But I've seen things my whole life and had experiences, some of them very scary, so upon that visit, I immediately felt the difference. His was a very welcome spirit. I did notice that you also have quite a few things in common with John and I'm sure there are more things you'll discover as you experience more of life. I believe that's why he was loved by so many and still is....because he's very easy to relate to. Everyone who loves him can carry a bit of him around....and it's as though he lives on through everyone he inspired. That's a beautiful concept...and one that connects us all. Peace.

I feel like I have a lot in common with John. Firstly the outer appearance- I wear glasses. Which when I got them in 4th grade, never wore them, I seriously had the worst trouble going from place to place and trying not to run into doors and such things. Then I got used to them and I wear them permanently now. My chin/jaw is like his. My eyes are shaped like his. My hair is kind of close to the color of his. We have the same body type. My hands are like his. personality- I feel like I'm overweight sometimes, and I know he felt the same way. And we both aren't. He thought he was ugly and didn't thnik andybody loved him. And I feel the same way about myself. I'm a big trouble maker in school and I ask myself "what would John do?" all the time. I honestly just sit and draw all day during school, or read a Beatles book. And I absolutely hate being told what to do. I love reading, and each marking period we have to read a book and write a paper about it.. I enjoyed reading all the books but I didn’t even make an effort at the paper because it was what someone was telling me to do. And I don’t like when people try to tell me what to do. I love being different, I hate following the crowd and trends. I love being myself, which is different. I can’t really say how I’m feeling, so I ask people if I can write my feelings down.. whether it’s in a letter, a song, or a poem… I just can’t voice my feelings. Kind of like John. Once Something very strange happened to me.. I was sleeping but I couldn’t wake up, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t open my eyes, I couldn’t breath, and I couldn’t talk.. and I tried and tried and tried to wake up but I just couldn’t.. I thought I was dead. And then I started to get really hot, and sweating. And when I finally got enough strength to speak.. I blurted out at the top of my lungs “Paul!”. And I lay there crying, for no reason, and sweating. I know it wasn’t a dream because the next morning I told my mom about it, and she said she heard me crying. Then I really got to thinking about it, and I wondered if maybe it was John.. trying to communicate somehow or another to someone. It just never happened to me before, and I didn’t understand what would have made me say Paul.

I have a love for music and great lyrics. I own a Gibson J-160e Historic guitar reissue of the 1962 model as well as a Rickenbacker 325C58 JG (black). I love to sing and I believe in peace when at all possible. Bob

Several things, my girlfriend thinks I'm a lot like John: -the eye shape -the mouth -the voice (yeah, in a way. I already thought about becoming a german impersonator ) -the haircut of the 1964 John (well, sometimes 1966 as well, depends on my barber's mood) -the head shape -the cigarettes (Gitanes) -the addiction to music, women and the number 9 -beeing quite rude from time to time -not wanting to grow up really Yeah, that's all. These days strange things are happening: when I was in Hamburg a few days ago I found the 'Indra' without searching for it and I had the strong feeling that It wasn't the first time beeing there, although it was! Strange, I know. Actually I don't believe in this whole reincarnation thing, but from time to time I have these strange feelings Either I'm just stupid and have read too much stuff about the Beatles or I'm somehow connected to John. Well, I guess I must be stupid

Here is what I have in common with John:
I'm anti-war.
I love chocolate.
I love cats.
I want world peace.
I'm sensitive.
Green is one of my 2 favorite colors.
I have a sense of humor.
I'm really paranoic and nervous.
I used to get fanatical with someone and then I'd get bored with them and then get fanatical with another person.
I have to write down how I feel. It's not easy for me to actually say it.
I get angry easily.
I am my own person.
I love being different.
I don't care what people think of me.
I love music.
I believe in everything until it's disproved.
I stand up for myself when I need to.
I protect those that I love.
I love my family.
I have a temper.
I always dream in color.
I think I'm ugly.
I have brown hair.
Now here are some connections between John and I: My mom, dad, sister, and I all moved to the state of New York in October 2000 because we wanted to be closer to New York City. Us John fans all know that John's birthday is in October.
My sister's ex-boyfriend's name is John.
My sister's current boyfriend used to have a friend named Julian.
I have a friend who has a brother named Sean.
When I was in Kindergarten, our music teacher taught us Beatles songs.
John and Yoko protested the Vietnam war. My dad was in the Vietnam war.
**All of the stuff I have in common with John is true. All of that stuff I mentioned about myself is how I was BEFORE I was a John fan. So it's not like I became certain ways after I learned about him.**

We have the same taste in music, and I'm close, but not as witty as John.

Well I don't know much about him so, based on what I know so far...
I find myself agreeing with him a lot about certain issues. I'm an artist (painter/drawer) and I play the piano. I can be very silly at times. I'm very different and don't really care. I don't want to be like everyone else. The number 9 seems to pop up and dictate certain things in my life without me planning it that way (it's been like that before I liked John). I love cats. I detest school (thankfully most of my college courses will be art). Ummm...I know there are more things, but like I said, I don't know much about him yet.
