Hope he's a good swimmer and can make it back to shore! 

With all those alias's , maybe he wanted to go missing? either way, I hope they find him.

I hope the guy is ok, but.... WTF? 

Maybe mine would read "Jason is also known as Jay, Jay dog, Jay daddy, papi, Joe Mama, and that S.O.B with the ugly dog."

Sounds like he is more " WANTED " than missing . All those aliases - must be an outstanding citizen , hope he is found , soon !

6-foot-2, dreadlocks & "a tattoo on his forehead" - he can't be too hard to miss if he's still walking around...
