E-Machine

A.K.A. Easton Coy, my second to youngest nephew. My sister sent me this pic via her iPhone the other night and I thought that I'd share it here. He's so freaking mean and adorable at the same time. I can't wait to get back home! He's so freaking awesome when it's just he and I, but no one believes that. It's the truth though. He just got his hair cut as well. I like it short, but I also like it shaggy.

iQuit

So, yesterday I sent the country manager and my boss back in the states an e-mail stating that I will not be able to do the 90-day extension after all. I have yet to hear anything from anyone. I can't wait to see how they screw me or try to screw me. I just hope they are kind enough to use some lube, otherwise, it might be quite enjoyable! ;-)

I finally just made up my mind after so much thinking. It's the right thing for me to do right now. It may not be wise, but definitely right.

I'm still sitting down at the tent, listening to my iPod and pondering this and that. It's really hot here. Hmmmm...

Punch That!

This is a punching bag that I helped my roomie Jay make. It's an old mattress, two sand bags, 90% duct tape roll, three air force straps. Pretty cool huh? He uses it, not me. We were bored one day and he wanted to start some type of exercise. He uses a "real" punching bag all the time back home. I just thought I'd share a little something with you about being bored in KV.

Geisha Assassin

Directed by Go Ohara (the action director of Death Trances), Geisha Assassin follows the story of Kotono (newcomer Minami Tsukui), a beautiful geisha who inherits a secretly-guarded sword and uses it to pursue Hyoe, the man who killed her father. Throughout her quest to face-off against Hyoe, Kotono battles Japan's most notorious female ninjas and assassins only to learn a hidden secret.

All that I can say is, ROTFLMAO! I think you lose IQ points after watching this movie. It's so not worth watching. It's like if you and I were awesome at filming and we made a movie. The fights were so lame, the fake blood! LOL It's not even worth a watch if you are the boredest you've ever been! LOL

My Spot

So, to get out of the house here and think, I head down to the work shop tent. The picture above is what I sit and look at, sometimes hours on end. Hey, there's nothing else to do. I just listen to my iPod and drink and think. I get a lot of thinking done here. Every now and again too, I'll get lucky and get to see a hot Marine walk by, usually on the way to the showers! LOL
And here in the above pic is what you'd see if you looked in while I was sitting and enjoying myself. ME! Propped up and just relaxing. It's freaking hot outside, but it's really not all that bad here, in the shade of the work shop tent.

So, today while sitting out there, I made up my mind about something. I'm not going to be sticking around here till September! I just can't. Sure it's going to be a lot of money that I'm basically throwing away or not taking, but I need to get home. Yes, it's pretty much the moves fault too. If they would have just kept me here, I would have been okay and lasted till September. I haven't a clue as to what I'm going to do when I return home, but I'll just take it one day at a time and see what happens.

Thinking

I'm having mixed feelings at the moment about being here. I suppose this move could be a good thing and/or a sign. Do I just say fuck it and tell them that I'm just going to head back home? I did already tell them that I would stick around till September, which is about three more months. It's just how I'm feeling right now, I'm ready to go home. Yes, I'm being a baby, I just don't want to move, again! For sure not to another small FOB just to be by myself. I will know no one there and will basically have to start all over. I'm just tired. LOL If I leave now, I'll basically be giving up $36k. Also, if I leave now, it's possible that I'll be home for the 4th of July and for sure for my Pretty Princess' Birthday. I think I may go through with the move, to see how things are, and then if I'm still feeling this way, tell them that I've got to go home. What do you think?

Speaking of which, I don't know why I do it, but there's a saying "It's about as useless as asking a question in a letter" and that's so freaking true. Me, I've written a lot of letters, it's just what I prefer. I have asked a lot of questions in letters and for some reason, it's true, no one answers your questions in a letter. I wonder why that is? So, it probably goes the same for blogs, asking questions and getting no replies. LOL Yet, we all know this, but we continue to do so. Is it a deep factor that we are all hoping that something will change? LOL Who knows. Yes, I'll continue doing as such, that's just me. :)

Martian Child, The Bone Snatcher, & Blind Dating

John Cusack stars in this "inspirational and uplifting journey" (Cynitha Wickenkamp, Starz Entertainment) as a lonely science-fiction writer who adopts a boy who claims to be from Mars. With the help of his quirky friend (Amanda Peet) and his sister (Joan Cusack), this new father discovers that being a parent means anything is possible.

Very cute movie, well worth the watch.
When scientist Dr. Zack Straker unearths the skinned bodies of three missing prospectors, Zack discovers that he and his team are being hunted by millions of creatures that have united into one unstoppable killing machine. As darkness descends, the ground they stand on becomes a living carpet, capable of devouring their flesh with every step. Hell has been unleashed. With no clues to investigate the massacre, Zack must find a way to stop them before it's too late.

A "B" movie and if I were you, I wouldn't waste the money on it. If anything, watch it on tv one night when you have NOTHING else going on or to.
This "hysterically funny" (Hollywood Life) comedy starring Chris Pine (Just My Luck) as a handsome young blind man on a sexual quest is "a deft blend of heart and humor" (Houston Chronicle). Also starring Eddie Kaye Thomas (American Pie 1&2) and Jane Seymour (Wedding Crashers), Blind Dating will leave you seeing love and life in a totally different way!

Danny (Pine) is smart, handsome, popular, and blind...and not just physically: He also can't see how wild women are for him! Even his sexy therapist (Seymour) can't keep her clothes on around Danny! After a series of painful "blind dates" set up by his brother (Thomas), Danny falls for a young Indian woman named Leeza (Anjali Jay), and finally everything seems picture perfect. But when cultures clash, and Leeza reveals that she's been promised to someone else, Danny must prove to her that there's more to love than meets the eye!

Very cute and worth the watch. Plus, Chris Pine is hot, right? There are some "sad" moments, but the funny ones top them!

Angry

I just found out that they want me to close my site in KV and head to another one. They just freaking told me this, with no warning. They want me to do it quickly, which really sucks. I have freaking mail on the way, a lot of it too! If the freaking mail system wasn't so screwed up here, I wouldn't worry about it, but having to have your mail moved to another place, it's going to take longer and that's even if the mail arrives. They freaking lose shit here so freaking easy! I believe where they want me to head to next will be by myself as well. I'm getting tired of being alone as well. At this moment, I'm ready to say fuck it and just tell them that I'm going to be heading back home instead. There's no way this is all going to happen without any freaking stress!

Now Introducing The Chickasha SNAPPERS

My nephew Aidan, is on the T-Ball Team the Chickasha Snappers, which my brother runs and coaches along with my sister-in-law. They are currently 12-0 in league and top 10 in the state. They aren't a regular t-ball team, they are in the competitive field. Meaning that they don't play the local YMCA or city teams. These boys have been together for two seasons now. They are so freaking awesome to watch, and dare I say cute! The logo above is a logo that I had made through Metro Pins our of Oklahoma. I think they really did an awesome job. The pins, the boys will be able to sell to increase their team funds. If you're interested in getting one, just let me know. :)

In their last tournament, Aidan got two (2) home runs!

The boys are doing awesome and when I get some action shots of them from this season, I'll be sure to share them here! :) They have a team page that's sadly not updated too often, but in case you're curious or what not, The Chickasha Snappers.

Not a whole lot going on here. I'm so freaking bored. Today, I've been sitting out in the shop tent listening to music. This here, Linkin Park "Minutes to Midnight", I hadn't listen to yet. I just bought it at the PX. I went to bed last night at 2200 and got up at 0700! What the hell is up with that? I hate being up here during the day. There's nothing to do and it's just different! LOL I don't know how to explain it. I've thought a lot about starting back to writing, about opening a business, about buying a house, you name it, I probably thought about it. I would do more postings, but I'm lazy right now and tired! :) Memorial Day was just any other day here. Awesome!

Texting

Apparently this is something that I'm good at, texting. It's a pic of me at my Birthday Bash After Party, April 4, 2009!

Memorial Day

President Barack Obama saluted veterans and urged his countrymen to do the same this Memorial Day weekend, saying the nation has not alawys paid them proper respect. Well no shit. When was the last time you thanked a veteran or someone currently in the US military? Our service men and women aren't getting paid nearly enough for their duties and on top of that, they have to spend months in a foreign country away from their family and friends, some of them to never return. They do this, so that those of you (you being the general public) who are afraid or not man enough or woman enough to endure the trials they have gone through, can stay at home with your family and friends; so that you can sit in front of the tv every night, so that you can enjoy a hot shower and/or bath as well as a hot meal, so that you don't have to go to a different country to get dirty and fight and possibly die. We have men and women who do this for you, us, and yet, they hardly ever get recognized. We even have people who spit on them and curse them when they return. What kind of shit is that? I always thought that America was the greatest nation in the world, where its people have thier differences...*smiling* You know, Happy Memorial Day to all those veterans and current service members.

Body of Lies

The CIA's hunt is on for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agency's man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. An eye in the sky - a satellite link - watches Ferris. At the other end of that real-time link is the CIA's Ed Hoffman, strategizing events from thousands of miles away. And as Ferris nears the target, he discovers trust can be just as dangerous as it is necessary for the survival.

Leonardo DiCaprio (as Ferris) and Russell Crowe (as Hoffman) star in Body of Lies, adapted by William Monahan (The Departed) from the David Ignatius novel. Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Black Hawk Down) directs this impactful tale, orchestrating exciting action sequences and plunging viewers into a bold spy thriller for our time.

As you can imagine, I just watched it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I'm not a Russell Crowe fan, so that didn't help either. :)

Portland, Oregon 4-year-old Drowning

Did you see the news where an Oregon mother was arrested Saturday in the drowning of her 4-year-old son after the boy and his 7-year-old sister ended up in the chilly Williamette River?

Apparently some residents heard some screams and called the authorities. After a freaking HOUR, the authorities finally found the kids downstream. The poor baby boy, Eldon Jay Rebhan Smith couldn't be revived. His 7-year-old sister was able to make it to the hospital and is expected to survive. A dumb ass Detective Sgt. Rich Austria said, "She's doing well and has the will to live." Like the poor little 4-year-old didn't have the will to live? Let's see, he was 4 YEARS OLD, thrown into a damn river at 1 in the damn morning! Sorry, but if you're going to be one of the dumb asses talking to the press, watch how you word shit.

Now get this! Mother, two children drowning, ring any bells? SUSAN FUCKING SMITH and the name of this so called mother, Amanda Jo Stott-SMITH! What the fuck is wrong with these dumb ass bitches? Smith is a family name of mine and none of them were even close to being dumb as Susan and Amanda!

You know that I don't have any children and probably never will, so you know what my niece and nephews mean to me. I've babysat them before. Yeah, at times they could drive you crazy and you have to disipline them, but they could never be bad enough to where I'd want to freaking drown them! Do you think kids are really that bad? If you do, I hope that you aren't a parent.

Spread the word and I'm posting it here so that may be someone will come across this...IF YOU HAVE KIDS AND VOICES IN YOUR HEAD OR WHATEVER ARE TELLING YOU TO GET RID OF THEM OR IF YOU JUST CAN'T TAKE BEING A PARENT ANYMORE, LOOK ME UP, I LIVE IN CHICKASHA, OKLAHOMA, SEND ME AN E-MAIL OR SOMETHING, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, I WILL TAKE YOUR CHILDREN. NO DROWNING OR OTHER HARM NECESSARY.

Huntington's Disease

Huntington's Disease (HD) results from genetically programmed degeneration of brain cells, called neurons, in certain areas of the brain. This degeneration causes uncontrolled movements, loss of intellectual faculties, and emotional disturbance. HD is a familial disease, passed from parent to child through a mutation in the normal gene. Each child of an HD parent has a 50-50 chance of inheriting the HD gene. If a child does not inherit the HD gene, he or she will not develop the disease and cannot pass it to subsequent generations . A person who inherits the HD gene will sooner or later develop the disease. Whether one child inherits the gene has no bearing on whether others will or will not inherit the gene. Some early symptoms of HD are mood swings, depression, irritability or trouble driving, learning new things, remembering a fact, or making a decision. As the disease progresses, concentration on intellectual tasks becomes increasingly difficult and the patient may have difficulty feeding himself or herself and swallowing. The rate of disease progression and the age of onset vary from person to person. A genetic test, coupled with a complete medical history and neuroloical and laboratory tests, helps physicians diagnose HD. Presymptomic testing is available for individuals who are at risk for carrying the HD gene. In 1 to 3 percent of individuals with HD, no family history of HD can be found.

At this time, there is no way to stop or reverse the course of HD.

My grandmother Shirley had HD and passed away due to the disease before I was born. My uncle Randy, my mother's older brother, is currently living with HD in a "care home". He's going down hill fast. Like stated above, there is a test you can take to find out if you have the active gene. It's kind of like a death sentence, right? I mean, you take the test, find out that you have it and then what? You just sit around and wati? Fuck that! My mother doesn't have the gene, so that's a plus for me, right? Either way, I've decided that I'm not going to bother with the test.

Fiery Sun Set

My House In Iraq

This is my house in Iraq, which I share with three other guys. Cozy, huh? There will be more pictures to come of my "home" and its surroundings.

My Icon, Image

Just something that I came up with a while ago. I think I'm going to use it as my brand. The brand of Jay! :)

Some Words

What Was Said Meant Nothing

We Said That Our Love Is What Fairy Tales Were Made Of,
We Said That It Would Last Forever,
Through Thick And Thin We Vowed To Stay Together,
Obstacles And Challenges Presented Themselves,
We Faced Them Together As One, Being Victorious
What Was Said Meant Nothing.

Our Fairy Tale Didn't Have A Happy Ending,
We Clung To The Words That Our Love Would Last Forever,
Thick Became Heavy And Thin Became Fragile,
The Vow Was Not Honored,
Obstacles Were Hard And Challenges Were Tough,
We Were Defeated,
What Was Said Meant Nothing.

Just Nothing

So, yesterday, Jay and I went to watch the new Star Trek movie at the MWR center. Well, we were real disappointed! It was the same lame copy that we had already watched. We finished our popcorn and Green Tea and left. We were right up front too! LOL Whatever.

Before all that though, Jay and I built a punching bag. He's been wanting one and tried to order one via Amazon.com, but for some reason, they wouldn't ship here. So we made one. We got an old mattress, rolled it with two sand bags inside with an air force strap running through the middle. Then used an extra two air force straps to hang it. I'll get some pictures and post them. It actually turned out to be a functioning punching bag! :) We were productive!

Those two trucks I had too, they were already upgraded, so I just checked them out to make sure they were good to go. :)

That night though, I couldn't sleep. Imagine that, right? What was it that I was thinking this time? A business. Along with everyone telling me to invest my money, they keep telling me to open up a business too. So, the brain wouldn't turn off and that's all I thought about for a few hours before finally falling asleep. I ordered some books off of Amazon.com for starting up a small business and some more books on photography. I was thinking of a business of something like, "It's Your Business", we specialize in what you want and need (designs, photography, and whatever else really). I don't know. I'm sure that more details will come into view once I get some reading done and actually think about what I'd be comfortable doing.

I've also thought about doing a "Picture of the Day". I said that when I got here, that no matter what, I was going to take at least one picture a day. A photo editing program is on its way here to me, but currently I can't do anything to pictures. All in good time.

Religulous

In this new comedy from director Larry Charles (Borat, "Seinfeld"), comedian and TV host Bill Maher, ("Real Time with Bill Maher," "Politically Incorrect") takes a pilgrimage across the the globe on a mind-opening journey into the ultimate taboo: questioning religion. Meeting the high and low from different religions, Maher simply asks questions, like "Why is faith good?" "Why doesn't an all-powerful God speak to us directly?" and "How can otherwise rational people believe in a talking snake?" For anyone who's even a little spiritually curious, this divine entertainment will deepen your faith...in comedy!

It's funny, hits a lot of points and worth the view! I, being agnostic, didn't have a problem with the movie. Like I said, I thought it was freaking funny!

I'm listening

Just wanted to let you know too, that when you comment, I am reading them. I appreciate them all. If I comment back on them, I'm not sure that you'd see it, so I don't. I could e-mail ya to let you know I got it, or just keep things as they are. Input, comments, suggestions?

Star Date 9175

Tonight, my roommate, Jay and I are going to the MWR center to watch a special screening of the new Star Trek movie. Drinks and snacks will be provided! LOLWe have already seen it though. The copy that we watch was sketchy and in widescreen, but we could only see fullscreen. So, the sides were cut off, but we still watched it! LOL

WHATEVER

So, FINALLY, the AIDS WALK OF OKLAHOMA CITY has announced the winning design that they are going with:Congrats to whomever it was that designed it. I guess that the stuff I create isn't what people are looking for. :) That being said, I'm not going to stop entering contests and what not. I happen to like the designs that I come up with, I guess that I'm just going to have to start coming up with some that are...cartoonish and/or comic like.

U$ & Money

Ever since I first started contracting, someone has always been telling me that I need to do something with my money. Think about your future they say. I could really careless about money and I may be wrong in thinking like that, but it's the truth. I want to be able to enjoy the money I have while I'm young and have it. Recently while I was home, I did drop $10k into an IRA. Is that good enough? Will you lay off now?

For those of you who really know me, you know that I can be an ass or the greatest person ever. Right? If I'm able, while I'm able, I will bend over backwards to help a family member or friend out. People usually talk to me and say that I'm a good listener and can give good advice. So, if all that is true, then why if you are in need, is it hard for you to ask me for help? I never thought of myself as the unapproachable type. Pride? Dignity? Whatever. We all need help every now and again, and if you can't bring yourself to ask for it, then you deserve whatever comes your way.

Granted, I don't like dealing with money and friends and family. It's just not good and never will be. I'm not one to exile a friend or family member for borrowing money and not paying it back. Just don't ever ask again. Yes, I do however keep track of it all. I can tell you where every single penny has gone of my money from April 2008 to present. I'm just anal like that.

When I get back home, things may change, but I highly doubt it. I have a new car to get and a lot of traveling to do. Saving money isn't fun. I don't get any kind of joy out of looking at my bank balances. What I do get joy out of is spending! *smiling* To each their own.

Meet "Rhett"

Some might know that I have a friend who's partner runs the adult site Straight College Men. Jamie and I have been friends since before I became an Uncle. Well, if I'm good or if I just ask, Jamie surprises with me with "gifts". Recently it's been the adorable, cute, hung, young, "Rhett". They did a shoot in Hawaii not to long ago and Jamie got "Rhett" to write me a sign and take a picture with it. He also sent me other pictures, but I don't think it would be right to share them on here, since they were taken just for me and aren't on the site or anywhere else on the net. Know what I mean? I will share one though, but I had to edit it:


"Rhett" has HUGE talent. *wink* *wink* :) Go and check him out if you get the urge! LOL I just heard from Jamie last night and he sent me another picture. He's a freaking tease! He sent me a pic of him with two of the guys, buck naked! I'm supposed to go for a visit to Vegas when I return, some time. It should be interesting.

See, anything goes in this blog! I plan on touching basis on anything and everything, so cute guys will be in the loop. I'm going to try and keep it close to PG13 though. *smiling*

It rained here yesterday, but not enough to actually look like it. The heat is up. I still have no clue as to what I'm doing out here and I'm sure one of these days it will catch up to me. Heaven forbid that I actually had to do some work and know what I'm doing. I do have two trucks scheduled to come in tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :)

I tried to call my sister-in-law earlier today, but of course she didn't answer. I was wanting to know how things are going with the baby and if she knew when they were going to find out the sex. I want this one to be a surprise. I'm sure some dumb ass will mess it up for me, but I'm going to try my best to make it a surprise. I'm really excited for him/her/them to get here!

What Just Happened

Based on the acclaimed, best-selling memoir by veteran Hollywood producer Art Linson and directed by Academy Award winning Barry Levinson, What Just Happened follows Ben (Robert De Niro), a producer desperately trying to save his two films from falling apart while managing the chaos of two marriages that already have. A bitingly sharp comedy about what it takes to survive a treacherous world of backstabbing, greed, and runaway egos - Welcome to Hollywood!

I just watched this one. It was just something to watch. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It just helped kill about an hour and a half of my time here in Iraq.

SOLD

This is my car that I just sold. A car that I got on October 13, 2007. It's a 2008 Honda Civic Coupe, fully loaded (minus leather) with Navigation.This is the car that I'm 95% sure getting once I return to the states. I say 95% because I've been know to change my mind, once or twice. It is however a car that I've had my eye on for some time now. It's sporty with an aggressive stance, low center of gravity and independent multi-link rear suspension which enhances handling. Supportive leather-trimmed seats, Navigation system and bluetooth hand free link, with steering wheel-mounted controls! What do ya think?
Now this beauty here, she's been my dream car for a good long while! An Audi TT Roadster. What more needs to be said? I doubt that I get her this time around, but her time is coming. I just wanted to show her off.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

"I was born under unusual circumstances..." Thus begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the Academy Award -winning film starring Brad Pitt as a man who is born in his eighties and ages backward, and Cate Blanchett as the woman he is destined to love forever. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a monumental journey - as unusual as it is epic - that follows Benjamin's remarkable adventure of romance and redemption from the end of World War I through the 21st Century. Winner of three Academy Awards, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is "one of the best movies of the decade!" (Karen Durbin, Elle)

I just finished watching it and it was pretty amazing. I told you all that I do here is just watch movies! :) It's such a sad movie too. It's definitaly worth the watch.

Iraq, My Current Home

Homie say what? Iraq, home? For me it is, at least for the time being. You see on the map where it shows Trebil, that's closet to me. I'm way out in the middle of nowhere! I'm here as a FSR (Field Service Representative) for the USMC on the ECMs (Electronic Counter Measures). Man, that's a mouthful. A typical day for me is to just sleep until I wake up, eat chow, shower, check e-mails, update my blog, check e-mails, eat chow, and then stay up till I get tired and go to sleep. Yes, that's a typical day for me and yes it's very boring! There is little to see here and nothing to do. I do read books here, every now and again. I'll continue to update this as I go, showing more pictures and what not. Enjoy.

The Uninvited

I just got finished watching this movie and MAN! Awesome twist and ending!

From the producers of The Ring and Disturbia comes a nail-biting thriller, The Uninvited. Following the suspicious death of their mother, sisters Anna and Alex become entangled in a deadly battle of wills when their father becomes engaged to Rachel, their mother's former caretaker. As the two sisters investigate Rachel's questionable past, they are confronted with ghostly visions, terrifying nightmares and deadly consequences. All leading to an ending so shocking it "will send chills down your spine!"

It's one you should give a view! I miss my sister.

Continuous Working Brain

For me, last night I went to bed early, about 0100. Yeah, that's early for me. I wasn't able to go straight to sleep though. My brain was non-stop working! Right before going off to count sheep is when I start to think about anything and everything. This is what was on my brain last night.

I couldn't stop thinking about money. For the longest I've always had this feeling that I'm supposed to have access to basically an unlimited amount of money. Do I go back home an play the lotto and win? I know that you can't win if you don't play. May be I should start having someone play some numbers for me? Anyways, I already have it worked out. Aside from investing, I would do good with the money.

First, I would start with my family. I wouldn't give them any money. I would set them down, one group at a time, and get them out of debt, a new vehicle if they need it, a new home if they need it and then I'd go on to my very dear friends. I would do the same for them as well. Before anything happened, it would be stated that I'm only going to ask once, ONCE. If I were to ask you to open up your financial stuff to me so that I could begin paying them off and you were like, "Aww that's really sweet of you, but I couldn't allow you to do that", then guess what, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be doing any of it out of charity, I would be doing it because I was in a position to do it and most of you know what a giving person I am.

After everyone was taken care of, I would want to set up some type of program or organization that allowed me to help the less fortunate. I would want to create some type of business that allowed me to give people the opportunity to learn a new skill or work on their current skills, at the same time, being a productive business. I would donate money to improve or acquire items needed for the schools of my babies. I would want to also start up a program or organization for single parents who have to work, that would have a place for their children to hang out after school which allowed them access to tutors and entertainment.

Once I felt comfortable with what I have done, I would want to finally take a family vacation where a passport was needed. When I was finished with that, I would then want to take a vacation with my dearest friends, where also a passport would be needed.

While thinking about all that, I also had to deal with my restless leg syndrome! Yes it's real and yes I have it!


Sometimes it really sucks and I feel like I'm going to go freaking crazy! Does anyone else that I know suffer from this?

Something I Don't Have

Patience is something that I don't have, never had. Back in February I entered this contest for AIDS Walk of Oklahoma City, a non-profit organization that exists to build awareness about HIV/AIDS and to raise funds to support the work of non-profit organizations in the greater Oklahoma City community that provide HIV/AIDS direct care, support services and education. They are looking for a design for t-shirts and posters for 2009 AIDS Walk of Oklahoma City. The deadline was May 1st, 2009 for all entries. Below are the entries that I entered:

1.

2.
3.
And there are more...

4.
5.
6.

They said that you could enter as many times as you'd like...

7.
8.
9.

And...

10.
11.
12.
13.

They just say on their web site that a committee will pick the winning design in May. When in May! So, I really doubt they went with one of my designs, but I keep checking the page every day just to see who won and what design they went with. As some of you may know, I entered the OKC Pride design contest last year or the year before last and didn't win. I know this stuff isn't my calling, but it's fun and I have the time to do it.
