“It has been many years since I’ve been back to this exact location. The stone wall along Nahant by the ocean. I have passed it here and there, but this week I finally decided to stop and take a few minutes to reflect on my life since the last photo was taken 27 years ago in this very spot. The young man on the left has his entire life in front of him. Not sure what will happen as he prepares for some fitness related competition in his near distant future. The man on the right, at 49 years old, says to himself; should I have done things differently? Could I have been a better person? Could I have been more successful? I’ve had many failures. Maybe I would not have had as many if I took a different direction in life. So many questions I asked myself. My life’s book is far from being over but at that moment being there gave me peace and closure that the past is in the past and all we can do is move forward regardless of our previous mistakes, failures, things we should have done differently or could have done better. I turn 50 years old this coming October. Let’s see what the next 50 years have in store for me. No matter what happens, I think for me, being at peace and being a good person are my top priorities at this stage of my life. God bless the masses and believe me there are too many of you out there to name individually who have enriched my life thus far and from my heart I truly thank you all for that.” ❤️ – John “Stoneface” Quinlan *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
*Taken from: https://www.johnjquinlan.com/ This past November, I performed a monologue for Jeff Stern, Distinguished Lecturer, Department of English & Media Studies, and his drama students at Bentley University*. Just my little version of Mickey Rourke’s in-ring speech from the movie The Wrestler. It landed me the role as the voice of Ghostface in the University’s upcoming Scream project by Raúl A. Morales Cestero coming out soon. I was really banged up during this filming, as I’ve been battling bad sleep apnea over the past few years, which has now severely impacted nearly every aspect of my life. I am currently working in cooperation with a very good team and look forward to having this issue 100% corrected by May to regain my life once again. – John “Stoneface” Quinlan, 2/25/2024

I’d like to thank the amazing staff at Sports Medicine North. I think all the years of wear and tear caught up to me and I needed a little TLC with this MRI. I’m NOT a big guy and I always did my best to keep up with my peers. I do have a lot of heart; I think that is what keeps me going just like many of you. I truly believe if I can get my health & wellness on track starting off this 2024, everything else will fall into place. – John “Stoneface” Quinlan *Taken from: https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
“Happy New Year! A day to celebrate and reflect upon years gone by and the loved ones we all lost in 2023 and before. I’ll turn 50 years old this year on October 30th and as a Generation X baby (born between 1965 and 1980) I have more miles behind me than ahead. So live, love, and laugh because we only get one shot at this thing called life. Have no regrets and be kind.” God Bless, – John “Stoneface” Quinlan, New Year’s Day (2024) https://www.instagram.com/therealjohnjquinlan/
