Hello. I'm James...
And I’m a marketing & advertising guy. Originally from Brooklyn, NY. Temporarily a denizen of San Francisco, CA. Recently an Atlantan. Lived it up in Boston, MA as one of the “passionate” fans of the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots. But NYC is my heart and home.
I’m “coherently” intelligent (usually between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 midnite), semi-attractive (depending on my mood) and a bit cynical (always). I’m constantly searching for mental and spiritual stimulation and an occasional dose of good-hearted absurdity.
Truth be told, I’m not as shy or reserved as I may seem. It’s a façade. I have a good heart and a good mind. Honestly. My commendable traits (so I’d like to think) are: smart, creative, ambitious, passionate, patient, funny, talented, blah blah blah. On the other hand, my despicable traits (so I’m told) are: perfectionist, analytical, stubborn, snobbish, blah, blah, whatever.
I’m addicted and passionate about life, love, people and music. More specifically: spending time with the people that mean the most to me — my friends and family, reading & writing, enjoying good food & drinks, keeping up with the world of politics, traveling, all things digital, and naturally, the advertising and marketing industry.
In social situations, I introduce myself (most of the time). When I am attracted to someone, I like to be the mouse. I exercise regularly. I sketch while on the phone. I’m terrible at crossword puzzles. I read in the bathroom. I shower in the dark. I’m a neat freak and a mysophobe. I can’t remember jokes. I talk in my sleep. I don’t smoke. I am a lush. I can whistle. I’m always willing to see the good qualities in other people, as long as they see the good in me. I know how to take the bitter with the sweet, but, if someone does me a wrong turn, I’m not likely to forget it. I don’t know if I believe in destiny or love at first sight. I’m an active take-charge person. I like all types of people, but have a strong disdain for folks who lack common sense or ambition. I make the most of any situation, and I enjoy the challenge of the new far better than the routine or familiar. I love being busy. I avoid boredom as though it were the plague. I pick my nose (you do too). I’m a “sometimes” vegetarian. I like being photographed when I don’t know I’m being photographed. I enjoy the occasional glass of Hendrick’s gin with a splash of tonic and St. Germain aka the High-Falutin Wooten. Although I like going out, I’ve no problem staying home on the couch watching a blu-ray movie or reading a good book. Home is my sanctuary, after all. Less is always more. Life treats me well and God is good. Amen.
