Edward Robins:  

Life: Ok, so you got to see some photos from pretty much every stage of my life except for my birth and my tombstone... fine - you had your laughs. lol I'm not old, just older - and always a teenager at heart. Here's a brief overview of my life: After attending grades 1-6 at P.S. 200, I then went on to grades 7 and 9 (skipped 8) at Cavallaro JHS 281 and then on to Lafayette High School. After High School, I went on to earn my BBA in Management (minor in Business Law) and MBA in Computer Systems at Baruch College. During my Undergraduate studies I worked evenings at Macy's in King's Plaza and went to Grad School in the evenings while working fulltime at Lewco Securities in Lower Manhattan. I currently work at MetLife (since 1991) as Techology Vendor Manager and Manager of Telecom Engineering and have well over 20 years of telecom experience. Prior to that I worked at Lewco Securites as Director of Telecommunications and prior to that at Thomson McKinnon Securities as a Telecommunications Network Engineer. I still play and watch and attend all major sports (My teams are Mets, Jets, Rangers and Knicks) and still play electric guitar (haven't played violin for several years now) and still love Rock n' Roll, Jazz and Classical music. I love Thoroughbred horse racing and sponsor an annual race at Belmont Park in memory of my late Dad each July (you're all invited to come). I'm still single, though not through lack of trying (more due to my continued lack of good looks). I have no kids of my own, but have two awesome nephews that mean the world to me. I still reside in Brooklyn. I still love trying to make people laugh whenever possible and love smiling and laughing myself whenever possible (or appropriate - lol). I live by the following: "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today" and "What doesn't kill me only serves to make me stronger" and most of all, "Expect nothing, Blame nobody, Do Something!". I prefer to think outside the "box". I don't like being inside the "box". I don't even like touching the "box". I don't even want to be near the "box". I don't even want to see the "box". I hate the "box". LOL I will generally try anything at least once. Oh God no! - except that! (not that there's anything wrong with that if you're into it) LOL I'll eat just about anything from Kraft Mac N' Cheese to Fois Gras (although Vegan cuisine takes a bit of effort - lol). I have learned to appreciate what I have and not to complain about what I don't have. I do, however, have a "mild" dislike for overseas outsourcing. If I call one more Customer Care Unit and am transfered to "Bruce" in India, I think I will slit my wrist with a butter knife. lol I am a generally upbeat, caring, genuine, generous, easygoing and caring person and, most of all, a loyal friend and family member. Life's too short to be any other way. My personality is probably best described as a cross between Chandler from "Friends" and Jessie from "Full House". In general, life is good but would always be far better with the reacquaintance of an old friend (possibly you). The amount of time that has past since last we spoke is already gone and we can do nothing to turn back the hands of time -but we can make sure that no more time passes. Do not wait until tomorrow. Too many tomorrows have already come and gone. TODAY is yesterday's tomorrow! Please give me a shout to catch up (or to start over). I WILL email or call you back. Hope all's well with you (whomever you are - lol) and your loved ones. Eddie School So many memories that it's tough to sum up... would be more fun to discuss live with you... but in any case, here's a sample: Grammar School ============ Who was your biggest crush?
