I hope that Mr. Wong is not dead.

Maybe this YouTube thing isn't such a good idea. Makes you too visible to people who'd hurt you.

Forever Alone.

I own a dog & a dodge caravan. But I still would not want to live in it w/my dog. But when I think of the money I would save by doing it? Mama mia! But I love my bed, kitchen & bathroom too much. :P

I have a homeless friend who I give cigarettes to who knew James very well and he told me two days ago that James was murdered. I HOPE to GOD this isn't true!!! But...if it is...

1. - We have to find out what happened to his two pit bulls!!!

2 - If what I learned is true, I hope those of us who lived near James or knew him can find out what happened.

3 - Say a prayer for this man. He's what freedom is all about.

Again, I heard this 2nd hand so I don't know if it is 100% true but I am going to call the Hollywood Police Dept and some other various places and see what I can dig up. Anyone in Hollywood who knew/knows James, or even the person who took this video, please help me find out if what happened to him is true and let's see what we can do about his two children!! I have a pit bull myself an I too, live in an RV. James is a guy after my own heart.

PS - The Bettie Page postcard shot in this video is posted on the wall right next to me as I write this. James gave it to me one day, saying I should have it. Whether or not what I learned about his being murdered is true, I'm honored to have a piece of him in my own little home on wheels.

If you're in Hollywood, please email me through youtube and let's see what we can find out about this situation. gain, I'm PRAYING it's not true but I haven't seen his van in 3 days so...I don't know. Please help either way. Thank you!!!!!
