James's Story

Washington D.C. Resident well ok then I don't think The Who I am part would be hard for most to remember. I have been Mostly in Boston . I am a member of the Local Union Electricians building big steel structures like Towers,Tunnels,and Stadiums. I have worked on : Big Dig tunnel Rte 93,Gillette Stadium ( GO PATS!! ),Harvard Physics Labs,Draper Government research labs,Boston college,Harvard Business School,Etc I was a bartender for All Boston's Local Alternative crowd bars for years previous shortly out of school and continued doing this for about 15 years until I joined the Union. I also worked at some of Boston's larger nightclubs,Avalon( now closed to become house of blues ) and Roxy where I worked as lighting director and assistant events co-odinator.working on boxing events,auctions,Live music shows (Maceo parker "james brown",George Clinton and P-Funk,and more. Worked on movie set Celtic Pride. I am currently working for the union and about to attempt to start my own union company. I have been for the last 3 to 4 years starting my own electrical service company ,and am currently very busy working on a large volume of work in the Boston metro area. I never found a valid ninja school so i never went that direction ,but I did eventually find a real samurai school Washington D.C. I attend once or twice a month and commute drive ( because of COVID ) So I did switch sides and join the opposition.Also aikido at New England Aikikai. Mitsunari Kanai Sensei (deceased 2004) Uchi Deschi student of O’Sensei Honbu Dojo Japan . Also attend Kenjutsu class in Boston as Well. I am still very active as before and continue to do some...Expand for more
crazy stuff from time to time,like jumping out of perfectly good airplanes and climbing cliffs (although now I do it with ropes,most times). Travelled to Brazil to Rio De Janeiro,Fortaleza ,Natal,Joao Pasoa For a two month excursion after my mother passed . Went to international seminar in Japan for my Kenjutsu studies ,Along the way visited family in Bangkok Thailand . Went on a short adventure trip to Cambodia while I was there to go see the ancient temples of Angkor Wat ,Thought of Robert Wiggins Slideshows . I do often think of my time at Seward with the class of 88 and laugh about the great times I had there. I brag to my friends about having gone from a huge school class in Mansfield, M.A. to an extremely small class from Florida, N.Y. and how much better it was to be a part of something I felt was a bit more special. Recently returned to Japan by way of Bangkok Thailand for three days for the great weather . then on to Japan to attend the Second (13th) Bi Annual Japanese -Chinese Martial Arts friendship festival in Machida Tokyo Japan To go study with other practitioners form countries around the world in my school ( Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu ) of which I have no studied for four years . Working on getting my masters License of electrical ( waited far too long ) and then considering a move to Washington DC to be with friends ,closer to my sword school which is located there ,and to be closer to family . Wish big changes were easier but they never seem to get to be that way . Wishing everyone a healthy prosperous year after covid finally has seemed to have receded a bit into the background .
