James's Story

Life Always smiling, witty, responsible and a true friend. I always wanted to be a Marine when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a Good idea. As it turns out, they were Right. Watching movies, going for very long drives,quiet time alone, and of course the good old fashion no television era way...Sex The craziest thing I did was smoked weed before A period in Senior Year, and went out with a couple of girls in the same school at the same time. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have an office, a budget, and freedom to do what I feel is best for the company to be able to deal with the day-to-day. My Dad and my uncle Ralph were my heroes may they both Rest in Peace. My dad for the way he was with me and the way he raised someone else's children. My Uncle Ralph for his sense of humor even when he was terminally ill. I lived in Several States while in the Marines but decided that New York was Home Sweet Home The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Kim Colon, because She always had my heart from grade school through high school even though we had broken up I feel like there was no real closure and have been in touch with her briefly after many years, and we were friends for a while before any relationship.. I have no real obsessions except getting my new online business running My biggest surprise in life was becoming a dad again at 31 and having 16 years and 4 days between my oldest and youngest children If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the whole house and add on a work-out room, family room,and three extra bedroom. My dream home would be on five acres of land , have 8 bedrooms with their own bathrooms, a workout room with a jacuzzi and whirlpool, a music room, a movie room, a television room, a game room, an office, a family room, a restaurant size kitchen, dining room, living room and the master bedroom semi detached from the rest of the house with Surveillance equipment all around the property and gated so people will have to be announced to get on the property. My kids have taught me not everything in life is black and white. I guess i...Expand for more
would like to see Robert Dela Bovi. again. He was my Freshman English teacher and basketball coach and was a cool guy all around. I guess since he was younger then most I kind of admired him. If I won $100 million, I'd give 10 million of it to Spellman, then spend the rest on taxes, a home and a couple of business ventures. I never lived in a dorm since my school didn't have them but going to a campus school was a great experience for me To be truly happy Relaxing on a beach somewhere in Hawaii with my girlfriend while my online business was making me hundreds of thousands of dollars daily . See guys I'm not greedy I didn't say millions a day. My current age is 42. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old farts. I was so completely half right. I took a break from my career since I didn't like all the BS going on . Hopefully I can open my own agency after getting my Masters Degree. I don't Know My best friend would tell you I'm still the same as in grade school, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as serious, and cranky. Unfortunately I still have to where some sort of uniform every day just like in Spellman and the Marine Corps. I share my home with my girlfriend and her children, which I find to sometimes be uncomfortable. If I got one do over I would have never got married to my oldest children's mother and went to Annapolis when they tried to recruit me, then into the Marine Corps. as an Officer In 10 years, I hope to be Wealthier. I'm going to get there by my education and my businesses. Well my oldest friend I met when I was eight years old. We met through his cousin who was a friend of mine and we just all started to hang out together I guess the fact that I have two grand children and a daughter who is going to be 25 before our 25th Reunion My first job was at The New York Post, where I got paid $.05 per copy to sell newspapers. What I remember most about it is I was always near a highway exit selling those papers. I will never forget putting Spellman 3rd or 4th as my choice of highschools and still being accepted to go to Spellman
