BIOGRAPHY

Raymond Allen Young, Jr. first blessed this world with his presence on September 16, 1988 and he is my Sonshine. He was born @ Ellwood City Hospital in Pennsylvania. He is the son of Pamela Lynn Arnold of Davenport, Florida. Raymond spent his adolescent years in Burton, Michigan.  Raymond attended Bendle Middle School, where he played J.V Basketball. Then he attended Atherton High School.  

INTERESTS

Raymond has always had a love of all things WWE.  As a kid, he collected wrestling figures and never missed an episode of WWF (it was called World Wrestling Federation back then, but it's World Wrestling Entertainment now).  He still watches Monday Night Raw, Saturday Slam, and just about every other wrestling show that is out there. 

  

Raymond enjoys playing basketball.  He is really good at it, too.  In retrospect, he says he wishes he would have concentrated on it, and his grades, more in when he was in school.  He could have gotten a scholarship out of it, and maybe even taken it to the pros.  "Live and Learn", I tell him.  "I know!", he replies.

Raymond's favorite hobby is playing video games. He can sit for hours playing games. He prefers the sports games such as wrestling (of course), basketball, baseball, and racing. Our friend, Chris Ward, has just recently gotten him interested in Black Ops 2. They play online through the PS3.  See...

                       He's had just about every system that has come out, with the exception of Dreamcast and Atari.  Lord knows, every time Sony makes a new model of Playstation, I'm  at the store before Christmas, getting it as a gift for him.  I love to see him happy. (Not to mention, he's easy to shop for!). Rumor has it PS4 will be out before Christmas this year. 

  Another thing Raymond likes to do is chat on the social networks.  He can be found on Raymond's Facebook Page, Ray is on MeetMe, Google+, and Fubar, to name a few.  He loves music, too, and has several playlists on Spotify and he has some pretty awesome playlists on YouTube  .

Last summer, he took it upon himself to build me a pond that I had been talking about for over 3 years!
