Not good; let's improve them:

John and I are going fishing. Do you know John? He is my friend.

I have known John since 2000. We met when I was touring Europe. He was also booked on the same trip. He was a nice guy with a pleasant smile.

Use me (and her, him, them, us) when it is:

the object of a verb: The truck hit me.
the object of a preposition: between you and me; to/for/from me, etc.

Use I (and she, he, they, we) when it is the subject: I ran/danced/curtsied/etc.
