Hey everyone, I am still alive! I am still living in sunny Orlando Florida and enjoying life. Things have been pretty hectic and I have made a lot of chnages and have had many blessings in my life the past couple years. I hope everyone has been great and has been enjoying all life has to offer them. So what the hell have I been upto the last couple years??
First of all, since this is a car forum I will let you know about my current ride… my SRT4 has been traded in, my Syclone has been sold (I miss it badly, but I have my reasons for selling which I will get to in a minute…) and my current ride is an 05’ Infiniti G35 sedan. I love it. It is the best ‘family’ sports sedan for the money. I drove 3 and 5 series BMW’s, a few different Lexus models, and a couple Benz’s before deciding on my Infiniti. It is certainly not the fastest ride out there, but it makes up for it in style and luxury and still has 290hp on tap to disbatch the occassional idiot. So here it is:
I am still pimpin’ and have been with my girl Lisa for 2 years, she does modeling and photography and also works at an exotic animal rescue (panthers, tiger, bears, jaguar, kinkajoos, etc.). I am a very lucky and fortunate guy, she understands me and my strange sense of humor, and she is pretty hot too… it is all good. 
I have made a lot of great new friends here in Orlando and still keep up with some of my good old friends as well. In fact here is another Buffalo to Orlando transfer and good friend (and member of this board and the old UBRF) do any of you recognize this madman playa?
I also got myself a dog, a Border Collie/Aussie mix I adopted from a rescue named Layla, she is f’n crazy but I love her;
I also purchased myself a house here in Florida just about 45 minutes outside of the city out in the ‘country’, I got tired of the condo life and wanted some land (almost an acre) and a nice garage (2 1/2 cars). I have done a ton of remodeling and everything has come along nicely. (here is a pic before I began remodeling, painting, staining, landscaping, etc.)
Well, life has been grand and I have been happy. Even though the real estate market has slowed down my title company business has been pretty successful. I have also started another real estate investment company called JAA3, Inc. this year which I plan to purchase some more distressed and foreclosed properties and either resell or keep for income properties in 2008. I also have a PrePaid Legal Franchise as well which helps supplement the income (if interested check out my website here: http://wserver0.prepaidlegal.com/Multisite/Multisite?site=go&assoc=jamesaarmstrongiii ).
BUT, the biggest and newest change that has happened to me since I moved from WNY a few years ago was the birth of my son Patrick Joseph Armstrong on 11-26-07. He is just amazing and fatherhood has been an amazing (and tiring) experience so far. Here is the little guy (he has my hair do! hahaha)
Well, that is it, I just wanted to say hi to everyone, let them know I am still alive and doing well and I have been very blessed and fortunate. I miss all of you (even the asshole haters! :whogives: ) I would love to hear from the ‘old schoolers’ and I hope all is great for everyone. I will be up to visit again this spring, until then Happy Holidays to all, take care -J aka cartman007
