Introducing "EC"

Isn't he just BEAUTIFUL!?
Just look at that ASS!
Grrrr...BABY!
He's freaking awesome and everybody simply loves him!
I keep saying that people in Chickasha are going to get tired
of him because I've been driving him so freaking much. Any
Chance I get, I'm in him! ;-)
Also, in case you hadn't yet figured it out, "EC" is the name
of my baby and it stands for Edward Cullen.

My New Toy

Isn't she just freaking beautiful?! She's a 2010 SS Chevy Camaro fully loaded with a 6.2L V8 engine!
The color of her is Silver Ice. This is the exact car that I built online, down to every detail. It was freaking amazing to get to come across one and it was the FIRST one we looked at too.
My dad and my brother picked me up this morning (24 JUN 09) and we started hitting dealerships to see what we could see and work out. Like I said, this was the first one we looked at! They wouldn't budge on the price, so we just went to a few other dealerships and got one. A lot of them didn't even carry the 2010 Camaro. I'm so freaking excited and happy! It's amazing! *smiling* I can't stop smiling and I can't stop saying Thank You, because everyone keeps congratulating and complimenting me on it. Everyone keeps staring at me too. It's an awesome feeling, but weird at the same time.

So, I'm home now, finished with flying and just enjoying my babies and the rest of the family!

Good-Bye

Good-Bye to the arabic countries. Last time I left Iraq I said that I wasn't ever going back, so I won't say that this time. It is so freaking great though to be out of there and back in the wonderful states! If you've never been in my position, I can't even begin to describe the feeling I felt when I knew we were in US airspace! It's just so freaking amazing. It's like you're finally able to relax and exhale.
And good-bye to all the hot Marines that I'll no longer get to be around. It was fun and awesome while it lasted. I enjoyed it all. I can't say that I'm not going to miss my old room and the shower room smelling like a rough locker room, because I am. It is going to be a little sad to not shower with a bunch of hot ass Marines though! *smiling* If only...

I'll be heading home today! I'll be getting in OKC at about 2300 tonight! I'll write more details later, I just wanted to pop in real quick and let you know that I am stateside. We had to deal with a real CUNT yesterday. Stay Tuned. . .

Happy Father's Day

Well, since I'll be mid travel and with the time changes, I just wanted to go ahead and wish all the father's out there, A Happy Father's Day. I sincerely hope that they all are able to enjoy this day. :)

On another note, I hate being in Kuwait on base. It's just so boring and nothing to do here. Last night I had restless leg syndrome and it almost drove me crazy, but luckily I was way tired and was able to just pass out. I hate that.

I am so not looking forward to the 15 hour flight ahead of me. I woke up this morning about 0350, and I'm going to stay up all day, so I'm hoping that when I get on the plane, I'll be able to just pass out and sleep most of the way home, as I did when I was heading home for my R&R. My flight is due to leave Kuwait at 0005. Let's hope! *smiling*

I didn't get to see Theresa here, for she didn't answer her phone and I called and I called and I called. I'm not sure about her sometimes. :) I may drive out to California to see her, but then again, may be not. She's going to be heading home on R&R on July 2nd, but I know how it is when you're home for only a little while. So many people to see and so much to get done. I told her to give me a call either way. We shall see.

Hottie of the Month: Rodrigo Calazans

Most of all the other sites have them, so why not mine? I'm going to start a Hottie of the Month and try to keep up with it and stick with it. I will also try and keep them, at least rated "R" and not to exceed that rating. *smiling* I will try and have the name of my men and if I know anything about them, I'll post that as well. So, throughout a month, I'll just randomly post pics of the guy or at least the ones that I have.
We are going to start off with Rodrigo Calazans. He's cute and adorable.

???

So, look at this design I made and tell me what you see in it?

TAKEN to the MALL in a GRAN TORINO

Paul Blart: Mall Cop, pretty decent funny movie. I may be a little crazy, but there's something...sexy about Kevin James (King of Queens). *smiling* I'm serious. May be funny guys are sexy or it's the fact that I'm going on two frustrating years now! *smiling* It's a cute movie, worth the view. Although, there were times in the movie where I was just annoyed and thought it was just stupid. That could be the fact too that everyone is starting to get on my nerves and I just don't feel like putting up with dumb asses. I think you should just watch it.

Now, Gran Torino, totally not what I expect, it was better. I mean, it was your typically neighborhood teenager heading down a bad path, cliche, till his older, hard ass of a neighbor takes him under his wing, sort to speak. The ending was different than what I was expecting. I think it's worth the view for sure.


Talking about a heartbreaking movie, TAKEN, is definitely worth the view. It had it's sad moments and it's heroic moments. Liam Neeson did an awesome job portraying a father protecting his daughter. The scenario they were in, I couldn't even imagine, but if it were one of my nephews or niece, you can bet that I'd do anything I could, just as he did. It's worth the view, and if you're a parent may be it will help you open your eyes or keep your eyes open, knowing that the world isn't all that friendly.

Red Wednesday

These photos are unaltered. It was like blood red outside today, or yesterday rather. First it started off as being orange in color, but changed quickly. It was so freaking weird. Kind of what I think it would be like on Mars. I just pictured some zombies walking around and shit. It was really strange! Like I said though, none of these photos were edited, that's how it truly was outside today, when normally it's bright sunshine!
On a different note, I didn't get out of Iraq yet. I'm going to try and sign up for Space A in the morning, or a few hours rather. I'm not thinking that I'll be able to make it, since the flight yesterday was canceled and now there will more than likely be a back up, but I don't have anything else to do here. :)

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

casio

Not a whole lot going on. I actually made it out of KV on my first try on Space A. Now, I just have to make it out of the country of Iraq, via Space A on the first try and that would be awesome! I'm going to give my first try in the morning!

Yesterday was my brother's Birthday, so Happy Birthday Little Big Bro. I called to wish him a Happy Birthday. They were heading to Tuttle for a t-ball game.

The T-Baller, Aidan, caught his first pop fly the other day at one of his games. I bet that would have been awesome to see. My brother also got thrown out of the game too, apparently for arguing with the Ump or something. I hadn't got the full story as of yet. :)

I'm bored here and people are really getting on my damn nerves! Imagine that. I just wanted to pop in for a quick update.

Shoot Shot!

Today's my Dad's Birthday, so Happy Birthday Dad. Also, today I went and got my #5 Anthrax shot. Yay! I'm also still troubleshooting that stupid truck from yesterday and it's driving me crazy. Originally today I was supposed to start leaving KV, but while down at the flight line today, I heard that all flights were canceled due to red air. So, I would have been here anyway. Tomorrow I'll start, but knowing my luck, it's going to take me a day or two to get out of here. Not much else going on here.

Fire! Fire! Fire!

So, what a way to be woken up this morning at about 0430! A ton of smoke and a loud pop! My roommate, Jay, woke me up and told me that the room was on fire! I could barely breath. I jumped up and threw on my clothes and started running around. He tried putting it out with a towel, but that didn't work for him. In our room we have a "closet", which used to be a shower room. In that room is where the SIPR and NIPR switches are held. We don't use the room and never go in there.
Apparently a switch or outlet or whatever it used to be had shorted, being the cause of the fire. Now, KBR is in charge of the electrical shit around here, which no one likes. If you search the news, KBR is already responsible for a few servicemen deaths, by faulty electrical work. Don't believe me, look it up. No one can stand KBR, but for now, they are the only company capable of doing the contract which they continuously win.And of course the first words out of KBR's mouth was that it was the TCF's fault for overloading the switch. BULLSHIT! They run the shit in that room, yeah, but that room hasn't changed in all the damn time that I've been here, so why now? Everyone called it too, that KBR would put the blame on someone else. My roommate and I could have been toast if it had gotten way out of hand. He was going to use the fire extinguser on the fire, but we talked about it and decided not to, because of the electronic equipment in there, we weren't sure that it would harm it or not. So, I called the KVFD, which is right behind us and they came over. They had to drive over, so in that time, I got the same towel that Jay had tried to use and I went in the room with the fire and put it out. The air was filled with fine black soot, or whatever, which is all over every freaking thing! I wiped my face and it was black, the inside of my nose was black and my white t-shirt wasn't so white anymore. The smell was/is horrible too!So, yeah, it was a very eventful morning! Then, I've been stressing over trying to get this one truck taken care of before I leave KV. Well, this morning it also shows up. Come to find out, someone, somewhere, has no clue as to what the hell they are talking about. They've been making a fuss that I hadn't been giving them service out here in KV, all about a VIK conversion KIT, and when it came down to it, it's not what they thought or wanted. Fuckers!

Oh yeah, check out this cob web too that collected some of the black soot!Then, a truck that I checked out a week ago, which checked out fine, needs to be looked at because the ECM won't even come on. I've been troubleshooting it, because I've never had a situation like this. I've checked all the cables and connections and everything is fine. Used a multimeter on the battery cables, all fine. I don't have a clue. So, I'm asking for help and currently waiting on it, via NIPR. It's been some day for my supposedly last day at KV!

Oh, here's a picture of my cave in my room too! :-D

Taking Chance

Taking Chance is the remarkable true story of one soldier's (Marine) death in battle, another soldier's (Marine) journey of discovery and a nation's reverence and gratitude toward its war dead. After hearing of the heroic death of a young Marine in Iraq, veteran officer Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl (Kevin Bacon) volunteers to escort the remains of Lance Corporal Chance Phelps back to his hometown in Wyoming. Now, on a trip across America's heartland, Strobl will find himself on an unexpectedly emotional sojourn into the soul of a country mourning not only Phelps, but all of our country's fallen heroes.

Such a sad and great movie. It's for sure worth the view. I would have been balling like a big baby if my roommate wasn't in the room! It should make you have more respect for the service men and women who fight for you.

I put Marine in ()'s because the movie is about a Marine. Marine's are Marines, Army are Soldiers, Navy are Saliors, and the Air Force are Airmen, and trust me, there's a difference, but they are all service men and women.

NART

So, the North America Road Trip is still a go for some time after July 14th, because I have to be home for my Princess' Birthday. :) Russ said that he'd still like to go, I just don't have his final official word as of yet. It should be a blast. I'm hoping that it's going to be fun and not as much work as I think it actually might be...

I have now eleven days left in this country, not that I'm counting down or anything!

blank

This picture is from my Birthday Bash, the Party Bus as well. This was at one of our stops at the COPA. Not sure what I was doing, but here it is.

Yesterday was my little cousin Kristin's Birthday, she's 17 now! Man, where has the time gone? I remember changing her diapers when she was a freaking baby! Not to mention babysitting too! Wow.

I have about ten days left here in country too! I'm excited. I've finally asked someone if they wouldn't mind putting me up for the weekend that I return, my cousins, The Veals. It should be fun. :) I just hope they'll say yes, which I'm sure they will. :)

The weather is crappy yet once again here today, not a surprise. Of course, there's still nothing going on here. I have one last bit of work to do, but not sure I'll be able to do it before leaving here. I'd like to get it done, if only to make time pass more quickly, but we shall see. In two days I'm going to start Space A-ing it to AA, which there I have to pack the rest of my crap and mail it home and then start the process of making my way to Kuwait. I'm still hoping to get there early so that I can spend a few days with Theresa! We shall see on that as well. *smiling* I'm super excited.

Something of Nothing

This picture is from my Birthday Bash, the Party Bus. One of our stops was at Laura's house for drinks, food, and games! Pin the Cock on the Stud! LOL Yeah, I traded out the poster, but it's the same! :-D

My dawgs are barking and my head is killing me. So, I've been pondering about my new vehicle. Do I be selfish and go for the Honda Accord Coupe or do I think about the big picture and go for the Chevy Traverse? I like them both and would be happy with either. Ugh, why is this so freaking hard for me! LOL I'm thinking that I should get what I want and spend whatever, I mean, I deserve it, right? I'd like to be practicle too though. Know what I mean? I'm hoping that when the time comes (the weekend of the 26th) it will all fall into place and I'll get what I'm meant to get. :) Now, who can I sucker into taking me around to dealerships that weekend?

So yeah, I went to Syria today, but that's a story to be told at the bar, when I'm drunk and you think I don't know what I'm talking about or just making up a big fat lie! :-D

Syria

A trip that was supposed to take an hour and forty-five minutes from, ended up being 3 hours. Buy me a drink and ask me about it when I return. I'll be home in two weeks!

dReAM

Man! Last night I had this dream that I made it back home, but I was so freaking tired. I still went anyway and bought my new car. Well, when I woke the next morning and went out to look at my new baby, it wasn't a Honda Accord Coupe, it was some type of Dodge sports car! Yeah, it still looked nice, but I felt sick and so sad! So, it was a Friday night when I bought it, so Saturday morning my step-dad and I, Richard, rush to take it back to the dealership to exchange it, but they closed at 1500 and we got there just after 1500! So, basically I was stuck with this vehicle! I was so sad! :(

I'm so freaking bored and tired. The picture here, as you can tell from previous photos, is from the Party Bus as well! :)

I've got some more traveling to do tomorrow, possibly. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes and what all I experience. :)

I still haven't gotten a picture of the guys here yet. Basically only because I'm lazy and don't want to drag out my camera and charge the battery. Damn, what does that say about me as a "photographer"? LOL I'm cool, it's all good.

Just a couple more days and I'll be leaving CKV, finally!

Monday, June 8, 2009

DuCk

This picture is from the Party Bus as well.

So, today I don't plan on doing anything. I just woke up in it's 1115. There's nothing to do and nowhere to go. I should just go back to bed.

So, when I return, Timberlynn and I are going to become roommates. What? Do you not think it will work out? I hope it doesn't mess with our friendship. I'm sure that it won't. Ever since she and I met, we've had this connection, which is hard to explain, but we are connect...somehow. I think it's going to be fun and it will all work out just fine. I don't know if we are going to continue staying at her house in Moore, or if we are going to be moving. I suppose that's something that we'll have to figure out. Originally I figured that I'd just buy a house and she would come live with me, but with the way things are, It's just not the right time for me to be buying a house. It's for sure an adventure which I'm looking forward to!

Now, I just have to make up my mind on whom I'm going to ask to pick me up from the airport, because I'm going to need their assistance for at least two days. I'm going to need them to take me to get my new car! I'm so super excited about that. I'm going to need to stay with them. Hmmm....so, who's going to be my lucky victim, I mean friend? :)

Nothing

The picture here is from my Birthday Bash weekend, the Party Bus!

Nothing going on today. I slept the longest I've slept in a few weeks, till noon! The sun is just freaking draining me! :) I'm working now and till I leave the most I've worked on this whole entire contract.

May be some day I'll actually tell you what it is that I really do. You may be surprised and you may not. No telling. I'm so freaking ready to get home! Have I said that lately? I know these are boring and I don't blame anyone for not reading them. It's just boring here for me now, but just you wait till I get back to the states! LOL :)

JORDAN


Well, I'm exhausted and my dawgs are barking! I just got back from the sad country Jordan. I had some trucks that I had to update, so a convoy it was. I can't put in words how I feel for these people, those people. I'm sure they don't need my pity, but it's just sad at the way most of them are living. They are surviving though. Everything from here to Jordan is basically a freaking trash can. It's sad, really. We seen a camel on the side of the road too. Let's not forget about our Marines that are based up that, down that way either. I have more respect for each of them. Marine SGT Jeffers, what a freaking doll! So adorable and cute. Sadly, I think he's only like tweleve!

In the next couple of days or so, I'll be heading to wonderful Syria and I'm sure it will be about the same. The weather sucked today too. Wind blowing and dirt everywhere. I really enjoyed my shower tonight, but not the enjoyment your dirty mind is thinking about! LOL

I don't know what I'm going to do now, but I'm going to close this entry.

What Up?

So, the header, I made myself, what do you think? It seems as though someone is actually reading this thing, fore people know that I'm coming home. That's pretty cool. I am however, like I said, going to miss the Family Reunion and make it back JUST IN TIME for Pride weekend. So thrilled! :)

There's still not a whole lot going on here.

Okay, since I have the means, do I just straight up buy my new car or have it financed? Not having any bills is nice, but should I work on my credit score more? It's above a 700 now, so? I think I'll just buy it straight out. Ugh, I don't know! LOL I still have my heart set on the Honda Accord Coupe, but the fact is when it comes down to it, who knows what will catch my eye. I'm going to be going to Fowler Honda in Norman, where I bought my Honda Civic, and I'm going to be going to Steve Bailey Honda in OKC. I'm just wondering which one is going to get my business. You can bet your ass that I'm going to try and "steal" the damn car. Isn't the economy still bad? Are cars still cheap? If not, someone clue me in! :)

I'll be spending the day with Jared today, Lt. Bosanko. We have "work" that we are going to try and get done. I'll try and remember to get a picture of him before I head out. He's cute and funny. I'm actually planning on getting a picture of all the guys here, so that you'll be able to see whom I'm talking about.

I'll be back in the states on the 22nd and should be back in Oklahoma about the 24th or 25th!

Friday, June 5, 2009

Gay Jay

So, my cousin Veal said that she'd be more than happy to help celebrate with me. That's freaking awesome. I think I may miss it though. Currently, I'm due back in the states on the 22nd, but that's just the states and not Oklahoma. So, I'm going to have to clear Jacksonville with a quickness, so that I can make it home JUST IN TIME for Pride Weekend. Is this even going to happen? It's going to be fast paced! This is so freaking crazy. May be I'm not supposed to ever make it to Pride, seeing as how EVERYTIME I plan on going, SOMETHING always happens or comes up.

I've actually been working here the last couple of days. I have two convoys to do before leaving too. They aren't as scary as you may think or as dangerous as they used to be. *knock on wood* I'm actually looking forward to doing them. I'm so freaking ready to get home. Once I get there, I'm going to hit the ground running, yet once again! :)

So, the pic that I'm using this time, is edited and photographed by yours truly. I'm working on the heading for my Photography Blog, which is listed on the lower right of they screen, if you scroll down, "FotograF".

Toilet/Sandpaper

Why is it that the government decides to be cheap on the items that really matter? The freaking toilet paper here is like freaking sandpaper! I almost dread taking a shit, just for that fact. Just something that I thought I'd share. Every now and again you feel like you hit the lottery when you actually get a soft roll! It doesn't happen all that often, but when it does, it's a good day! LOL

OKC GLBT PRIDE


So, June 26-28 is GLBT Pride in Oklahoma City. There are all kinds of events planned, and if I'm home, I'm wondering if you might want to tag along to any of them. I've never really been to Pride. I mean, I've been once, ONCE, to see the parade and that was it. I didn't get the full experience. So, if I'm home by this time, I would like to enjoy and partake in Pride! So, how about it, anyone up? We could walk the park, check out all the artist, craft booths, and have some drinks while doing as much. Anyone? No matter really, because I will going. :) Holla!

Below is a chart showing the consequences of what would actually happen if the homosexuals were legally allowed to marry each other! Shocking!

So Random

You know, I haven't heard from my family in some time now. Don't you think that's just so random. I mean, here a loved one is, on the opposite side of the world, in a "war zone", and they don't even take the time to e-mail a Hi or Hello. To me, that's just so random. Now, if they need or want something, I can't stop the e-mails. Hmmm...so random.

I currently hear from my friends more than anyone, and ONE in particular would be Marisela. They just bought a house! I can't wait to get back home so that I can go visit and see it. I'm so happy for them. I'm sure she'll put me to work to, but I'll get out of it some way or another! LOL

I'm going to be distant from everyone when I get back as well. I mean, I'm still doing my North America Road Trip, so I'll see whomever during all that, which I can't wait either! Once I get tired of running around, then I'll try and make time for everyone. That's just how the cookie crumbles I suppose. LOL

Today, I actually did some freaking work! I was out in the sun all day and it's fucking HOT! Great, now I have a real good farmers tan going as well as a watch tan! It sucks, but not really a biggie. I'm not impressing anyone.

I still haven't heard yet either when I'll be heading back. I'm not telling anyone either. Everything that you need to know will be here, where I empty my head, so if you should happen to read it here or whatever, then you're going to be above the rest. It's just how I'm rollin' these days! :)

I've been thinking about this Oklahoma City AIDS Walk thing, and I want to do the 5k run that morning of. I wonder if I can get anyone to join me or at least get a group to go out for support and what not. I was also thinking about having t-shirts made, with my design on them for everyone who'd like to join me that morning. It's going to be on Sunday October 11th. So, if you read this and you're interested, leave me a comment or send me an e-mail stating as such! :)

Been Going On

I've been getting my X-Men Evolution on. It's been really cool watching. I remember watching them Saturday mornings! I laughed and enjoyed myself with them.

Also, I've still been getting the site ready to ship off, so that I can begin my journey back home. I'm so ready. I'm more ready than I thought I would be. I don't think I'm going to be back in time for the Family Reunion that's Father's Day weekend, but I'm for sure going to try.

Still checking my empty e-mail boxes. It's all good though. I'm for sure not going out of my way for anyone once I return.

The heat is picking up quick here. I spend a large part of my day down in the connex, which is like a freaking oven out here! It's something that must be done though.

Did I mention that I was ready to get back home?

My cousin, Heather, has been doing some amazing photography, which I hope to share with you here, once I can load some of her pics on here. They are freaking awesome. She uses me for feed back and I hope to use her someday for feed back too, on our photography.
Yes I still like my cartoons, but I was sadden with this, because it was only three episodes of apparently a few more. :(

VALKYRIE, is a pretty awesome movie, but we all know how it turns out. It's based on a true story about an assassination attempt on Hitler. It's for sure worth the view.

Road Trip

So, I still haven't heard anything from either company that I'm working for. I'm beginning to wonder if they even got my e-mail. I sent it from my work e-mail account, and like a dummy I didn't save a copy in my sent folder, so if I have to e-mail them again, it's going to be totally different, because I don't remember how exactly I worded it. :)

The Road Trip, North American Road Trip is still going to happen when I get back home and get a car. I have one friend who said that he'd go with me if I couldn't find anyone else to go with me. It's looking like it's going to be him. I was thinking about flipping a coin to see which direction we head first. I'm not sure planning it all out will be as much fun. May be a places of for sure to hit? I just want to get in and drive and see where we get. Like may be stop in a place where the tank is empty? Who knows. I have some books stored on Amazon.com about road trips and 10,000 things to see in North America. I'm thinking about getting back home and chillin' and then starting towards the end of July. I have to be home for my Pretty Princess's birthday. :)
