HEY, JAMES! WE'RE EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO CATCH UP WITH YOU TODAY. And I’m excited that you’re excited. Hopefully I won’t bore you too much.
I'M SURE YOU WON'T. HOW HAS LIFE BEEN TREATING YOU SINCE HIGH SCHOOL? Life’s been good. I mean it isn’t how I expected it to turn out, if that makes sense. I thought I had it all planned out but I ended up dropping out of college, and no before you ask, it wasn’t because I was daydreaming in class. [laughs] I eventually found my groove after not knowing what I wanted to do a year or two, and took the firefighter test and here I am. So long story short, life’s been treating me well for the first most part. Besides that little fork in the road, of course, but now I feel as if I’m where I need to be.
HOW DID YOU EXPECT IT TO TURN OUT? DID YOU HAVE A DREAM JOB THAT YOU WERE GOING TOWARD? I just expected it to turn out differently. I didn’t think this was going to be my endgame career. Well, not just one dream job, I had a whole lot of dream jobs. I wanted to be a chef and a football player. I think I wanted to be a lawyer at another point. At one point I wanted to be an actor, that would’ve been my dream job. I guess fate had other plans for me.
DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD EVER END UP SWITCHING CAREERS IF THE OPPORTUNITY AROSE? I’m pretty comfortable with my job and it’s in an ideal location right now. Maybe if it was the right opportunity, yes, but I’d have to be sure that I’d stick to it. I have trouble sticking through with things and I’m nervous that I wouldn’t stick with a new career.
IS THAT WHY YOU'RE SINGLE? WORRIED ABOUT NOT STICKING WITH JUST ONE GIRL? Well, that and because I don’t have time for a relationship. [laughs] Then again, I don’t think I’ve ever had any trouble with monogamy in that sense. Or maybe I do and I just really didn’t realize it until now. Now I have something to sleep on.
YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED HANGING OUT WITH SYDNEY. WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON THERE? We’ve been just hanging out, like you said, and just getting to know each other a lot better. I’m going to plug-in Balboa Triplets and tell you that you’ll just have to watch the show to see for yourself.
WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO EXTEND BEYOND JUST HANGING OUT? Honestly, yes. So I guess we’ll just have to see where the future takes us. I don’t think either of us want to rush into anything.
THAT IS ADORABLE! I HOPE IT ENDS UP WORKING OUT FOR YOU. THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING HERE WITH US TODAY, JAMES. Thank you, I hope so too. Likewise, thank you for having me here.•
