so recently, in last couple of weeks mustache march has been taking over my life. it really has. this stache has a mind of it own. and it totally does what it wants. i have done things that i am ashamed of sharing being that the stache is telling me to do them. no, not really. but i would be insane insane if it could. i do in some ways feel like a respectable person who can do anything. the other day i saved someone from a burning house. because you ask? the other fire fighter’s has mustache’s and saw me and asked for my help. i am so awesome.

also, i recently picked up a new desk for myself. being that i have a laptop i don’t really need it. but i do. i like sitting down, writing, listening to music, and chatting on my cellular phone. by which is an iphone. sweet. but besides being bored on a saturday night the eve of easter sunday i decided to take a picture of my awesomely awesome desk. yeah, i used awesome twice in a sentence.

i know. awesome.

may the force be with you, but mostly with me. 

i’m pretty stoked right now. on the edge of my seat. waiting in dire anticipation. my apple iphone was updated. yes, it might seem like nothing to you none using iphoneless people. but it was big, i guess. evidently, since september 2007, there hasn’t been an update. they only thing that apple had put onto the iphone was the widget to the itunes music store if you had a connection to a wifi base. but today, a new version 1.1.3. was released along with the new apple macbook air.

anyways, the things i am able to do with my iphone is 1: adjust my home screen. which is pretty cool because i can move around all my icons to wherever i like and also put new icons on the dock to appear on every page as well. with that, being on safari, if there is a page i constantly visit, i can add to the home screen. say for instance, i can add the himynameistravis website to the screen of my iphone. awesome.

2: maps. plain and to the point. what i can now do with maps is see real-time traffic in process. so i can decide whether or not to take I-5 or 99 and see which one is more congested. also, there is a new feature that pin-points my exact location on maps through cell towers and computers and really smart things that i have no idea about, but probably a satellite. you can also drag a pin around get directions to other places. really, maps isn’t that great this time around. lame.

3: sms texting. i can send multiple text’s. woo-hoo! not that big really except for if i want to send to crazy chain text. i don’t know. lame i know. in all actuality, it’s kind of the same as a hacked iphone. i personally would never do it. but luis did. and i think the only reason apple keeps coming out with these programs, is because other people are making and upgrading new programs without the permission of apple.  anyways, that’s really just about it. oh yeah, soon you will be able to rent movies via itunes too. awesome!

bringing the awesome, every single day, in every single way.

the weather is intense today. it actually woke me up at 7:30am which is pretty crazy. i was up and went outside to investigate with my digital camera and this is what i saw…

i don’t know whats going on. but the news said that the winds will be up to 80 mph. so now i will have an excuse for the way my hair is. awesome.

so its been 2 years since i’ve had knee surgery and matt and michelle reminded me of it last night at denny’s because i was totally caught off guard when asked the question. anyways, here’s a picture right after surgery.

2008. the new year. año nuevo. totally. i don’t know what i’m talking about. but i did ring the new year. wait, is it ring or rang? i’m not sure but oh well. ha! well for new years, i did go out. but, it was a big disappointment. which totally sucked. or maybe i suck. let me tell you the epic story of my lame night on new years.

my day didn’t really start off until i went over to spencer’s to watch the office season 3. i think i only watched one episode that day. but we had been watching the beginning of season 3 the night before. but lets to get back to my epic journey of lameness. so, matt rindells called me and told me i had to come over to his house and play this game with him and his family. ok. so i drove myself over there and we played this game taboo. and honestly, i sucked pretty bad. i think i was the least knowledgeable person there. which made me feel like crawling into the fetus position and crying. well, i left matt’s and went home to get ready for the night.

8:30pm roles around i leave my house to go over to spenser’s but informs me of our friend whiteny who is having a party. i come in to say my hellos and new years wishes, and the first sight i see is a bunch of fresno statesorority girls taking shots. wow. intense. don’t get me wrong, they were all pretty girls. but we left and attended another party which consisted of us standing outside of a house in their garage freezing. i was not happy. so we left and went back to whitneys. by that time it was 9:30pm and all the girls were passed out by that time. pshh lame. it was very nice night seeing and hanging out with friends. i think i was the only one who didn’t get a new year’s kiss. lame, i know. but hey, it’s cool.

so usually at or around new year’s everyone makes up some kind of resolution. mine is to record with faded gray, hopefully tour with faded gray and making that band happen. writing a great american novel, climbing mount everest, single handed white water river rafting, and finding the inner peace that i so desperately need and want. and that’s just is the next 3 or 4 days. so, i’m busy.

evidently i was informed by matt’s sister, michelle, that i haven’t been keeping up with my word of the day thing that i used to do. so here is it again. word of the day!

well, well, well. it has been a long time since i’ve posted on this thing. sorry i guess. i just haven’t found the time to post anything. which might sound lazy, but really, i have been. lazy and stubborn. i don’t know why i haven’t posted anything. but i finally am after much speculation and other stuff. i’m just writing things that come to my head now. ha! anyways, where to begin. i last left off right before halloween. so might as well just start there…

i have no words to explain that night except that i have never seen or experienced something like in my life. so evidently i went to halloween party. it was for-told that night would be the night off all halloween parties. i didn’t think anything of it. but apparently, it was. me and luiswent up to chico, and all i can say is, wow. because i didn’t know what else to say. it was crazy. girls in barely anything. that’s what i liked. oh yea. it was pretty fun though. drunk girls are a good thing. yes. but to my surprise alot of people thought i was jesus. are you kidding me? i was a jedi. see, that’s what makes me upset about ignorant people. star wars is way to awesome. i mean i love jesus. but i was jedi. come on people. does jesus carry around a light saber? i think not. anyways, it was a fun trip but not worth the drive what so ever. kind of a one time thing so to speak. anyways there were bitches everywhere. ha!

the next weekend. complete and total raging. i can’t describe it any better than that. so i went up to san francsico to hang out with jordan at jake’shouse. there was a party and i had to go. anyways my arrival wasn’t expected the way it should have been. i came a little early. a little too early. time came, and then me, jordan, and timwent to be some alcohol and head to jake’s. me being the ass that i am, picked up a bottle of wine before hang at trader joe’s. so tim and decided we wanted nice beer and it was kinda of bring your own drinks thing too. so we got a case of fat tireand some belgium beer called stella. 8:30pm, raging officially begun. guest’s inculded: jordan, victor, ryan, tim, jake, jaynee, jamie, jimmy, derek, ciara, jamie’s sister, and some 23 year old. by 8:45 ryan was trashed i believe. guitar hero 3 was being shredded on and ryan spilt his beer on the way. he was the first one gone. the night was full of laughs and falls. hmmm. i believe that tim was the highlight of the night. do work son! i’ll haunt your dreams! at one point me and tim ran down stairs and fell. tim hit his head. and my knee split open. and it was kinda bad. the knee i had surgery on started to bleed from where the incisions were. ugh. i passed out eventually with drunk calling people. *bad mistake. and i woke up with wieners all over my body. tim had fun with a sharpie. and also the bush’s too. probably one of the most fun night’s i’ve had in a long time. while i was home laying on the couch my dad said, “is that a penis on your arm?” i looked and responded with “yes. a big vainy triumphant bastard.”

and most recently. 2 nights ago i traveled up again to san francisco to hang out with jordan and vic. and it was pretty sweet. we tried to get into the beaches, but there was a whole bunch of haz mat teams out there. so that sucked. but there was a photo mission. and walking down haight street. buying a hookah. finding robin william’s house. buying cd’s at amoeba records. smoking tour. eating italian food. and gelato. oh, and finding industrial light and magic. oh gosh. it was freakin’ sick. i was so stoked to be there. being a star wars fanatic. it was almost orgasmic to be walking around george lucas’ buildings of production. it was sick. we say the yoda statue, the darth vadar costume, and boba fett’s costume. it was just awesome to be there.

and here i am. home. its been a crazy couple of weeks. sorry for not keeping every up on everything. but its been crazy. there has also been so much too but i cant think of it.

oh. angels & airwaves finally released their sophomore album “i-empire” and it is pretty sweet. every track on the album is good, except, breathe. whatever you do. do not listen to this crappy love ballad. this intro is kinda cool. they distorted the kick drum to make it sound like a heart beat. but, that’s about it. songs to listen to: call to arms, secret crowds, and heaven. besides that, pick it up. now!

so yea. yet again sorry. im going to try and keep every up-to-date with my life, even if it’s a boring life. i’m going to do it. and you better enjoy it! ha!
