About me:
I'm a Redneck Rubber Monster Wrangler. (Spit that one out three times fast!) If Larry The Cable Guy and John Buechler had a love child, I'd be it. I have more interests in the arts than I can shake an empty wallet at. I am a special-effects makeup lab technician working out of the Los Angeles area. I've been very fortunate to have helped in the construction of prosthetics for actors that have included Tom Cruise, Kevin Costner, Jason Statham and Dane Cook. And I think Richard Jeni was the funniest man to ever set foot in a comedy club. .. MyGen Profile Generator
Who I'd like to meet:
David Lean, Alfred Hitchcock, James Cameron. Other FX geeks...

Thanks for the Add

One can never have enough friends in this lifetime. Especially in this day and time.


I'd like to extend an invitation to our new Group while I have your attention. The discussion is about current events the majority of the time. Along with a little politics thrown in now and then
pointing out how it affects the people.


Our main goal is to grow a community of People larger than those who kept in contact during the election of the previous year. With the new President in office we must stay focused on what's going on around us. It's certainly not a time to kick back, throw your feet up and let everything run it's course until the next election.


As this group grows, the more we can get different points of view on subjects. The more we can mold as one and be a community that speaks out for the People. It's important that we keep each other informed. We never know when we'll need each other.


We'd be glad to have you.


Jim

Jut read your latest Blog Ray and I couldn't agree with you more on your feelings. If you havent read it yet may I reccomend the book: Libertarianism A Primer by David Boaz.
It will aid you and strngthen your ability to share with others the true meaning of Freedom in this contry! Hope all is well with you!

Hi Ray,

Actually I would prefer to smack them in the head with a steel pipe a couple times :0) Unfortunately I am out of work and have applied everywhere I can think of, any ideas.
