So who is this James guy anyhow? Well... I was born in Berlin, Germany, was raised in L.A., lived in the SF bay area from college until 2002, moved to NYC for almost 3 years, back to LA, then back to NYC!
I enjoy playing the guitar and songwriting, reading various types of books (especially asian-am lit, classics, biographies), and snowboarding. I also love the outdoors, and I love photography. I like going out and trying different types of food, but I most enjoy cooking at home. My favorite foods are Korean, Japanese, and Thai... and grilling anything that used to moo or cluck.
Work... My last job was as a software developer at a bank in Manhattan, but my dream job is to be a writer. I'm working on it... all the time. Of course everyone wants to be a rock star, but that takes a bit of luck. I did open mics at the Starry Plough in Berkeley, as well as in NYC on the upper east side every so often (wed nights!) and in the village. I went back to LA, went through a business venture, and then back in the corporate world working for The Man, busy as usual! I missed NYC and moved back in 2007. =P
I have a dog; Jack Russell Terrier named Frasier. He's CRAZY, but a good dog.
I most love hanging out with good friends, and playing host. My favorite towns have got to be Berkeley (many many fond memories there) and NYC (many many fuzzy memories there).
Sports: I love the Raiders, the Dodgers, and the Spurs. I also love my alma mater (Cal). I'm die-hard for all.
I am not too picky when it comes to people that I hang out with. I am very open-minded when it comes to relationships. I hang out with all sorts of people and really enjoy meeting new people all the time.
Hmm... I like my eggs over-easy and my comfort food is either kimchi jjiggae or a salami sandwich on a hero roll with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard, gobs of mayo, red onion, oil, vinegar... with a crisp juicy pickle on the side. And I will take fries with that... along with ketchup mixed with tabasco.
