I am here for Friends

About Me

HERE ON MY SPACE SEARCHING FOR FRIEND IN MY PAST, LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WORRY ABOUT DIFFERENCES, WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON IMPROVING OUR SIMILARITIES. LOOKING FOR PICTURES OF PEOPLE I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH, WORKED WITH, OR LIVED WITH. Looking for photos of areas and places I have been, I lost so many pictures during a flood in my basement so all of my old picture and memorabilia was lost. Picture of World's Fair, FK Lane, Berriman JHS, PS 58X, Crossbay Playland, East Tremont, Palisades Amusement Park so if you have something you can share with me please let me know I will scann it and return it or send it to me here on MYSPACE, Many of you know I am a education geared person almost at the freak level, I like to tweak and exercise my brain with new knowledge and thoughts. I believe that was instilled in me by my grandparents and then my parents. They would tell me you can lose your house, get fired, or robbed, but no one can take knowledge away from you. I thank all my teachers in PS 58 Bronx for this also. Second is I love to make people smile, even though I may be broken hearted, it makes me feel better to see someone else with a smile.
Well I hope some of your the World's Fair in NYC of 1965, no not the 1939 one..... At the World's fair I saw the future electronic cash register and fell in love with Artificial Intelligence. Although I bought my 1st computer in 1977 a (TRS-80-1), I really fell in love with the family of Commodore computers. I owned a Commodore 64, C-128, Amiga 1000 and Amiga 2000d, Subways, trains, trolleys any thing on a track fascinates me I rode the entire MTA or NYCTA system with the exception of the Metro-North. But I lived near it and I went to Manhattan and ate from from a Hot Dogs place called Coney Island Joe's I believe on the Manhattan side of the Metro. My parents went there to "La Marqueta" the market, under the Metro. Check this out! A train that was designated the Museum Train leaves Rockaway Park in Queens towards NYC. Running on the 'A' or the Old L.I.R.R. Rockaway Beach tracks. This going to Montauk Point. Long Island. The most eastern terminal in the South end of Long Island, NY. It's breath taking. This next short is the elevated 'A' train going west towards Manhattan from the last (75th Street/Boyd Avenue) stop above ground from Lefferts Avenue or the Rockaways. You will see parts of Brooklyn on the left as it approaches the Grant Street station.Check out YouTube they have a large collection of interesting runs of Subways and Elevated trains videos.Parent Involvement in the Educational Sysytem, I have been married three times, have two children, two grandchildren, I am currently doing my Family geneology in My Heritage.com and have done a bit dabbling in Age of Empire, (Short of AOE 3 Asian Dynasty)and I really love people even though I am a shy person. Anyway Thanks for reading this.. Come back, because I'll be updating this. Check out some of my Pictures: Myspace Layouts AS A MUSIC PERSON: I began playing music with my brother's old 45 records in 1964, I just did the intro and played the music, that's all you can do with one turntable I played aand practiced everywhere. I met my friend Jeffrey (JVO on the radio) and his brother Sherref Mustafe and we would play music together and Jeffrey decided we should play like the top 40's stations of the days. I also recall re-doing the series THE FUGITIVE on 8mm film, also later on I helped a my friend Ralph Colon's sister Dalila Maldonado do a short film on 8mm for her class in HS. That was a vampire type film, I used my friend's funeral home to do it in. She got a good mark. I worked in the mornings before going to school helping Sal open his fruit stand next to Kaye's Discount on the corner of Essex Street and Pitkin Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn. I got friendly with a few businessmen in the neighborhood and they would bring me their shoes over the weekend I would clean and shine them, I always found a way to make a few dollars to buy my records and equipment. I did the first Grafitti (signs) using homemade stencils. By this time my crush on Brunilda of the Bronx faded and I was looking at my friend Eddie's sister. Her father owed the Candy Store on Sutter Ave & Berriman Street. I was 14 then, so being that I was shy and she was so elegant, I was so ashame to even speak with her. Anyway one day Jeffrey come to me and tells me to let's record a radio show. I thought he was crazy. Well it was a LP with a prerecorded radio show and it had a script with it. Also when it was the DJ (announcer's turn) the cue was a the sound of a bell.I think it was U Be the D J. We did and that is how my life began to mold itself towards music. DJ JACK was born. Then one day some of us kids decide to take off from school in the afternoon and hang out. (( TO ALL YOU STUDENTS DON'T DO THIS, IT WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THE LEARNING PROCESS, unless you are like me a straight 65 student)) I went got my little turntable and a handfull of 45's and that was the second inspiration.
I began listening intensely to the MC's DJ's and announcers on the radio I began to dream. I know I can do this, I know I can..Is this an autobiography, I gotta go will keep adding........Eddie Brugmann was the one who finally gave me that positive "click" and what can I say?
