Welcome to the official Himay Co. Blog! On here you will find all the latest news, updates, events, and personal opinions of me, Jamie Cole, the founder & CEO of Himay Co. As of March 15, 2011 Himay Co. is still more of a symbolic moniker than a functioning business entity but I am working on that as I continue to work and operate as a freelance consultant for T1V2 Media (formerly T1V2 Productions) as well as fellow musicians like sometimes music and artistic collaborator Paul Davis, cofounder of Canton, CT based underground progressive rock and experimental band June tuesday and founder of Tuesday's Child, of which I am currently helping to recruit talent in that local market for its initial lineup. These are just officially associated acts I will be blogging about, as well as other various music and pop culture related matters, news & politics, sports, as well as providing an inside view and front row seat to my own life as well. I will be updating my background as well as I can and will be making several adjustments on the fly. And I will definitely be blogging regularly about American Idol.
I was born on July 28, 1976 in Princeton, New Jersey and very proudly grew up as what is called in private school circles a "faculty brat" on the campus of worldwide known and distinguished secondary boarding and day school The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Some of Lawrenceville's distinguished alumni include Malcolm Forbes, Michael Eisner, Brandon Tartikoff, current NBA star Joaquim Noah, Huey Lewis, current White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, as well as current country music superstar Dierks Bentley, just two years ahead of my own class (1995) at Lawrenceville as well as well known socialite Tinsley Mercer, just a year ahead of me as well. There are many, many more distinguished alumni and alumnae I am omitting and for a full list of famous alumni please consult Wikipedia's page on the school. The school has also been used as scenery in TV and film media, most notably and recently "IQ", the Albert Einstein based romantic comedy with Tim Robbins, Meg Ryan, and Walter Matthau.
Unfortunately, I did not finish up at Lawrenceville and I was rather humbled when I was not rewarded for screwing around too much. Although I attempted to get readmitted twice after having to leave, I was at least fortunate to finish up my high school career at The Pennington School in Pennington, New Jersey, a lesser known but still a very prominent secondary boarding school in its own right.
While I still and always will consider Lawrenceville my home and true love, I have a special place in my heart for both schools and have recently made a stronger effort to reconnect and stay involved with both schools as well as with their alumni communities.
Before finishing up high school, my family moved to Simsbury, CT on July 1, 1993 so that my father, the long-time Dean of Faculty at Lawrenceville and one time (and future) acting headmaster of the school, could become the headmaster of the very distinguished secondary boarding school The Westminster School in Simsbury, CT. Its own list of prominent people include famed "Easy Rider" actor Peter Fonda, second season star of "The Bachelor" Andrew Firestone (of the famous Firestone family), and high profile actress Lake Bell as well as actress Darcey Halsey, the girlfriend of (and former off-screen girlfriend) Bud Light's Ted Fergurson, of which he starred with Darcy in the short-lived Dare Devil stuntman-theme ad campaign.
I will be blogging about various topics as I mentioned atop and will also be launching several Internet-based broadcasts and other filmed projects which I will be posting. As of March 2011 these projects are all still in its infancy and planning stages and some projects will be completed and available sooner than others and some will be ongoing in its production and availability as it progresses in its artistic evolution.
So please stay tuned for news and updates!
