travis' brain dump

yes, i’m still alive… been a hectic week… lots going on… i’ll fill everyone in later. for now. just check back periodically and i’ll eventually be posting up regularly again.

You know today I was taking a look at the history of my blogsite and it’s evolution. What started out as a place to put down some random general comments has changed into a place where all aspects of my life are now being recorded into what is evolving into almost complete journal. This site has so many aspects to it now, a year and a half later. A little something for everyone.

The world as a whole can get a glimpse of who I am and what’s going on as well as share in some funny aspects of my life both general and slightly personal. I see people visit from Japan, Russia, Australia, Germany and Romania to name a few. I see the numbers growing every day. You Digital Stalkers! 🙂 jk.  But alongside what everyone else can see it gives me a place to drop some personal thoughts that only my friends and family closest to me can see and then the posts which are hidden from almost all. It’s just amazing to me how technology today can allow for all of those things to coexist in one location and allow for someone to put things down and release somehow while making record of their lives.

I’ve really only embraced the use of this site fully over the last couple months, but I must say I recommend to anyone to do this. I should have started doing this a lot sooner. I remember when I used to keep a journal as a child and it did similar things for me in helping me to get things out as well as reread and learn how I may have dealt with similar situations I forgot. It helped to release some things as well as offer a chance for me to revisit myself and see who I was to who I am becoming. Maybe one day my daughter or future children will read over some of these things and benefit from it. Maybe some of you will. Who knows.

 Just some thoughts.

Again, a message to all of my friends:
If you wish to have one, feel free to ask as I will set you up one for free. 🙂

 later.

You know, I was just sitting here looking at all the movies coming out over the next couple of months to a year and I’m actually excited for a few of them. Starting off with Pirates 3. Can’t wait. Although I need to go do some brush up and review Dead Mans Chest again to catch back up. LOL I think that will be one of the movies watched this weekend. 🙂

So movies I’d like to see that are coming out over the next three months:

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Oceans 13, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Evan Almighty, Transformers, Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix, The Bourne Ultimatum, Rush Hour 3

I can’t remember when there have been so many movies released that I want to watch in such a short time. Geez. Going to have to group a few of them together to see them though, lol. Pirates get’s watched this next weekend somehow, that’s a given. Wow… I’m going to be so broke, lol.

So my house is almost back to normal now. Well, getting there. It’s so nice. I’m looking forward to this weekend with nothing household to do. It will be so nice, especially with everything going on this weekend. ;) I’m almost afraid of wrecking it again with more remodel work now, lol. *shrug* oh well. At least I’ll have some help on the bigger stuff that I get started in a couple months. *grin* In all seriousness, I can’t wait. It will be fun to redesign a few ideas and see how it turns out. I’m actually quite impressed with how well the stuff I have going on has come out. Just need to finish up with what I’ve got going on and take a little break, save up some money if possible and go at it again once I can…

ahhh – ya gotta love it when you’re sitting down here in 60-70 degree weather and up in the mountains it’s 27 and snowing. LOL It’s a shame snowboarding season is over, I’d so be there today.

Today I seem to just be plowing through my workload. I’m trying to get everything cleared up so I can clean my desk off. It’s a mess, lol.

Hanging out with Dave Lowery last night was awesome. I haven’t seen him in almost a year and a half and having the ability to catch up and get all nostalgic about the past with him was a lot of fun. We got to look in on quite a few of our friends from highschool via the internet and recall some rather interesting stories. It’s funny how we both look back and realize that all those choices we made that seemed like screwed up or wrong ones at the time have all led us here to the present where we wouldn’t trade anything we’ve got now to have changed even one thing in the past. Gotta love it. I’m really glad we’ve been keeping contact more regularly lately and I can’t wait to head out to Hawaii sometime in the near future to see him and his family again. It will probably have to be in the beginning of 2008 though since I’m planning on going to Mexico again in August. 🙂

Wow, that was on heck of a thunder pop, lol. We’ve got one of those nice Colorado T-Storms movin through right now. In and out. These things rock.

This weekend is creeping up pretty fast. I’ve got to pull some double duty today to catch up on my task list since I slacked pretty darn good last night. It was worth it though. 🙂 Got to see Dave and even had the chance to swing by and see Andy since I was out there last night. So, planning for Arwen’s party is pretty much done. Just some minor things to finish up and I’m sure I’ll get corrected on how things will work and some things will change. I mean, afterall I’m a guy. It’s in the rule-book. I can’t plan a birthday party, especially for a little girl. LOL
