Juan's Story
Not many people know that I attented two High Schools. I also attended Princeton High School (for the first 2 years of High School). Those of you who are answering from Plainfield or South Plainfield HS, I did NOT attend those High Schools but I had some friends there. Basically, when I got out of High School, I immediately moved out of the house and got a place of my own. I did some odd jobs also, I was a musician and ladies man. My favorite place was "The Mondrian" later on known as "Zaffys" . I played the keyboards professionally for quite awhile. I was in jazz and funk type bands. We played restaurants, clubs and I also did a few solo piano theatre gigs. Eventually, I got tired of trying to "make it" in the music business, even though, I loved working in it, and got to be a pretty good musician in the end. But I got so tired of the lifestyle of it. Worry about money was a big problem.
Years later, I ended up moving to New York City, then onto Los Angeles, California. My brother, an artist, taught me Computer Graphics. I got good at it...Expand for more
, and ended up, with an Import Export company, that took me traveling all over Asia. After returning from there, I started working in the Security business, as a mere guard. I worked for many notable outfits. Harman - Kardon Industries (otherwise known as JBL), Devry University, Hugh Hefner's Playboy Enterprises (yes, I actually worked at the Mansion too. Eventually, I became a Post Commander. Now I'm back to a normal job with normal hours. I work for Vivid Entertainment.
Just for your knowledge, I'm very happy here, as the weather here is just great. As you can imagine, I had quite a few High School sweethearts and I miss them a lot! I really like the people I grew up with (for the most part), a fun loving bunch! We played some fun baseball games at Durham Park, and really enjoyed hanging out, going to the mall, etc. To me, life in New Jersey was a blast, depite the cold, snow, hot summers, humidity etc. Feel free to leave any comments, I'm always open to conversation, even if I don't agree with you on anything! Lol.
You have a great day now!
