My Short Bio. I, S. L. James Jr. was born in Lackawanna, NY in 1970 to Samuel L. James Sr. @ Carbietine A. James and raised in Buffalo, NY. We lived in Albright Court projects until was I about 3 then relocated to the city in 1973. My dad worked at the Steele plant until that time then took his civil service exam and wound up with a job with NY State Department of Corrections. He held it up until 2002 when he retired from the state after 29 years of service. I attended Buffalo public schools all my life and had a rough childhood and harsh up bringing. My father would whip me with a cord usually the long type you plug into a radio, tape, cassette recorder etc. Over the most dumbest incidents like being accused of stealing his clippers or attending a Jehovah's Witness convention among others things. Plus I suffered a lot of bullying while attending junior high and some bullying in high school as well from cousins, so-called friends. White and black co-workers alike and especially black women. I had a few friends and still do to this day, however I was never a very social person. And people in those years tended to see me as a guy who'd they'd rather instigate a fight with or just get belligerent in public. Growing up in buffalo was very tough for me as an individual. It effected me academically too, the state diagnosed me at an early age for being or having a learning disability. My old man found out about it. That didn't go over too well with him and I can recall getting beat by him with a thick leather belt for not picking up my multiplication tables as fast as he wanted me too!
I was left back in the 2nd grade, failed the 5th grade and have been playing catch up ever since. I don't say this for any sympathy but it's had a profound effect on me for years. Attending failing schools, a state education system that's been dysfunctional for as long as I can remember it. And so that's the short version, now you maybe thinking but he seems like a normal guy? Right? I'm grappling with personal demons everyday, however I'm no killer!!!! If I acted out every homicidal impulse it had well I'd be sharing a cell with Ted Bundy among other crazies. And he will relieve all your frustrations. And tell your father that their a place in heaven where he can repent, smile down at the kids he abused and the woman he wanted to physically beat down. Yes, I've been told I have a ph'kd up family going back to my late grandfather. But you know I did this because I'm going into filmmaking and plan to put at least 80% of this on screen.
1. Theology. A doctrine or a corpus of doctrines relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth in an authoritative manner by a church. 2. An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true. 3. A principle or belief or a group of them. Phuk praying!!
by: whatblackmenthink Looks like it's the big apple for me after all and that's just the begining folks, their's much work to be done. And so many starving black acters and artists out there not getting their due. Your time is coming, i've heard the call, help is on the way!! LOL
My Short Bio Pt 2. At present I'm preparing a urban drama based on my life growing up in the city of Buffalo. As far as my current life goes I'm returning to ECC for 1 last and final semester. Graduation for me will require that I pass Algebra and I'd rather exist with enough credit hrs to take that out to California. And into L.A. Film School or NY Film Academy with no prerequisite of having Algebra on my transcript. Most people might consider that giving up however I'm a realist, and I'd never spend an extra two years at a two year community college racking my brain over a subject that gives me extreme difficulty. Can't do it, and won't! I was born a visual artist and the only way I can see myself realizing that is learning in a creative environment. That being Southern California. Things that peak my interest include, various ice cream, Non-fiction audio books, verious genre of films sci-fi etc, curvy, attractive women with beautiful feet and toes. My taste in music ranges almost A-Z except for country, gangster rap, and today's Hip/Hop. I enjoy talking about world affairs, local city, county issues and national issues effecting everyone. Whether they like it or not. I have to be informed about what's happening on this planet, however I don't consider myself a interventionist or someone who wants to impose western imperial ideas (white) on the rest of the world. I discovered in the mid to late 90's after returning from Cali that I've a gift for writing stories but I wasn't mature enough to pursue it at that time. Not without the fear of getting corrupted by that Hollywood culture. I'm ready now though with full armor and weapons of ideas to go to war with the Jewish establishment or status-quo in tinsel town. Over the following the years god willing, I intend to master the craft of filmmaking and visual story telling to educate not just the country but the world. I've numerous manuscripts to complete of fiction and non-fiction during my career. And hopefully a soul mate that can fill in those cracks, so I'm not particular about what race she is as long as we're compatible and the chemistry is dead on between us.

It is absolutely fascinating that in the year 2009 besides witnessing the election of the countries first black president, we also witness the ascendency of the black state senator to Lt. Governor. Then to Governor of the state of New York, but only after his boss was caught buying sex. And what do we know about David Paterson, besides the fact that he represents down state interests? He's been part of the political machine that's hurt New York states economy for 25+ yrs and inherited a... (continue reading) Puppets without the Strings?Posted
In every community across the country people are faced with choices during election time. Be it the town supervisor, county executive, city mayor, common council, state assembly, state senate, U.S. Congress, U.S. Senate, etc. We're asked as citizens to become politically active and exercise our constitutional rights at the voting both. However, the people with the real sway, the folks with major cash get all the favors or have learned how to buy votes with taxpayer dollars. So I ask are we... (continue reading)
