So I don't really use Livejournal much anymore, I mean it's been longer then a month since I've updated. Maybe I'll try to use it more.

In the mean time, I use Facebook everyday at work so add me

You can add me on Myspace too if you want, but I don't use it as much.

I need some Xanax or something.


I can never get into a conversation with my mother about politics. She is such a close-minded Christian. She starts telling me that I'm hanging around the wrong kind of people and that particular friends are having a bad influence on me or something, all because I disagree with her.

Not to be mean, but my mom is not smart. The only reason she is voting for McCain is because he's a Christian. I couldn't care less who she votes for but the bases of voting for him because of his religion is incredibly mindless (yes, I know a lot of people do this).

I'm really starting to hate what my mom has become the last few years. She's close-minded, and more importantly she's incredibly evangelical. I fucking hate it. No, I will not date a woman just because she's Christian, no I will not go to church, just shut the fuck up about religious shit. Stop trying to connect EVERYTHING with religion. ARRRRRRRR.

She's turning into a crazy.

Shit, it's been awhile. HAYYYY GUYSSS N GURLLLLS!

I don't remember where I left off or where to start. Bullet points for the, win! Just imagine if your whole life could be summed up with bullet points. Too bad I have to write it myself though, and it isn't automated, then those days where I'm like, "what did I do yesterday?" I can look back on my automated bullet'd day and be like, "OH YAAA!!!"

I got promoted at work, I am now an assistant manager. Nothing significant has changed, more responsibilities but other than that my work is relatively the same. It's frustrating at times because I work with my friends and sometimes I just have to be like, "guys, get to work." I'm not a douche bag about it, power hungry, or anything, I'm just covering their own ass if another manager catches them. I need to talk with them about that though, because it may appear I'm getting power hungry? Who knows. I think I'm a pretty awesome manager, so they got it pretty easy. The biggest perk (which I hated at first) is I have to wear ties and dress clothes, it's awesome! I can, to some extent, express myself with colorful attire. The other perk is that I look important, I get respected more, and the ladies love a man in a tie!

I'm officially in a relationship with a beautiful girl circa a month ago. It's nothing serious, but it's fun, entertaining, she's kinda awesome, and I like hanging out with her. She's going through some shit right now in her life though, so she's giving me the cold shoulder here and there. I can't help but be a little hurt but at the same time I understand.

Exercising like a mad man. Sort of. I've been a bit busy with work and school and friends lately that I've dwindled a little. Bad Travis, bad.

School is going relatively well. I've half-assed most of it so far and been getting low A's high B's. I could tell myself to try harder but half-assing it is actually me trying really hard. Some people just aren't meant for school, and I think I'm one of those persons. My attention span is dismal when it comes to general education that doesn't interest me. At least I'm "trying", right?

Party pics
( And hairy sharpie'd Travis... )


Pictures as promised.
( Bye bye beardie )


Beard gone, pics to follow. Got to get them from friends camera.

I don't know how I like it yet...I just know it was fun shaving it off with my friends. I started with the biker stache, ended it with the chaplin' stache, and now I got nothin' but sideburns!

( funs stuff (no pics, yet) )

I'm doing "the virgin" next.


Okay, so I don't have too many recent pics of me, since I don't have a camera anymore but I'm going to get my camera back tomorrow from my mom.

Anyways I think I'm going to shave. And to top it all off, just for kicks I'm going to do "before" and "after" pics tomorrow night.

( In the mean time, before (with beard): )


Last night/this morning was the most drunk I've ever been in my life. I don't drink a lot in the first place, generally I casually just drink beer.

Well last night I went to a friends of a friends party. I knew about two or three people there out of the two dozen people that were there. All the guys were taking shots here and there and incorporated me into their shot taking. My shot glass was one of those ones that pretty much has two shots in the glass, not one. I lost track of how many shots I took by the end of the night but it was a good amount.

I got back home and puked, and I've never puked from drinking. Once done, I fell asleep and when I woke up six hours later I ate a banana and puked again. Not to mention I had the worst hang over headache in the world and still have a nagging one. Parts of the night I don't even remember.

Oh and I woke up next to some random blonde girl. No, just kidding, I still have some knowledge of what's going on when I'm drunk. My friend said I was a pretty hilarious drunk though. She said she was worried I wouldn't even be able to make it up the stairs to my apartment.

All in all I had a lot of fun, however I will never drink that much again.


-I'm doing good, things are good.

-I've recently made amazing friends and I think I've hung out with them every day for the past two weeks.

-Aside from those friends, I've made other friends which are awesome as well. We've even made pacts to hang out on certain days and there's no excuses to break those pacts.

-I'm getting my life back together. I'm taking counseling, not because I need to but because I think the best thing in life is to have someone to talk to and sometimes friends can't be that person. It's been running pretty smoothly so far, nothing hidden in my closet.

-I'm going back to school this coming fall and hope to finally finish it up. I'm working on getting a second job right now so when fall comes I will only have one job and only work like twenty hours a week so I can focus more on school. I've been thinking about transferring to a pilot school out of state/further away from my hometown and staying in the dorms or getting a place near the college that I move to. A new environment sounds exciting.

-I had an interview yesterday for my second job and we'll see what comes of it. It's a personal banker position at Wells Fargo. Basically it entails being a sales person almost but on salary and not on commission. It pays pretty damn good too. So it may become my main job if I find myself enjoying it better than my other job.

-Saving money up to finally buy a car. I just need to figure out what I want to buy. However I need to figure out if I want to transfer out of state or not. If I do transfer out of state, buying a car could be a burden.

-I been taking better care of myself. I've been eating healthier, exercising almost every day, and lifting weights every other day. I'll be hot shit soon.

I think that's about it.
