yay for fun weekend

Mon, 10 Oct 2005 02:49:39 GMT

this was my first weekend of being 17 and it was fun i guess. on saturday i went to the mall with biggs and bonnie and it seemed like everyone from huffmn was there; james, david, morgan, stephen, josh dowies and some drill team girls. today the three of us went to the art festival downtown and there were some pretty good booths there and some good music. came back here and watched the family guy movie (7th time for me but it's still hilarious).

found out Laura fell and hit her head on her bed and she has a mild concussion. I've been worried about that for the past couple days but she seemed alright when I talked to her so that was a relief.

hey if you look at my last post when I posted a satelitte image of rita it's still updating itself hehehe.

Thu, 22 Sep 2005 15:36:43 GMT

well it's now official, I too am here for the good fight!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Trawick Goes to Washington

Tue, 12 Jul 2005 07:52:53 GMT

Washington called today......they need me and being the patriot I am, I gladly accepted the call for national security.

So yeah, out of the 435 nominees throughout the country I was chosen to be one of 66 to become pages in Washington for the Spring of 06. So guess what? THat's going to be 4 months without Travis in Huffman. Now please, hold your applause. You'll have to put up with me untill January before I actually leave.

Anyway Cloud IX is actually working good again and hopefully will have initial recordings started by the end of the week. So yeah here's hoping everything goes good with that.

I will hopefully find it worth it to update this thing more often.

The scariest feeling hit me today at the jazz band concert when Mr. Stuart introduced me, "Travis Trawick who is now a junior." I can't believe two years have already gone by. I know I've matured but it doesn't feel like it. I've made it a major goal this summer to improve several major flaws in me and hopefully people won't mind being around me starting next year. Well there's actually a lot going on right now but I'll save that for another time when I actually start posting again. This was kinda the "yeah I still have a livejournal" posts.

It's weird last night night I decided to get all my David Sanborn songs and for some reason and then today at lunch we were talking about him, now that's all i've been listening to all day. He is awesome.

anyway, life is life. nothing out of the ordinary. Laura's coming down this weekend so I'm real excited about that. things really haven't changed a bit for me. it's starting to dawn on me i might just be another average person (for me a horrible thought). I got a good life, but nothing that really stands me out from anyone else. musically i'm far from the top, i'm not really all that funny but i can't bring myself to be serious. social wise I'm still a little akward around people. i hate morons but i'm nothing much of an intelligent person. there's something out there i just haven't found it i guess. I'm just counting down the days till I get out of this town so i can get the new part of my life. New people, new opportunities, new surroundings, a whole new life. I can finally leave the useless thing called highschool. until then I'm going to enjoy every little bit of it.

Class of 07: as of the end of school thursday march 31st, we now have 400 school days till graduation. (yea I'm that bored lol)

WOW I'VE uPDATED

Sun, 20 Mar 2005 05:23:29 GMT

i just realised it's been over a month since I last updated. I guess I just don't have all that much to talk about. Well biggs got my rc car working finally today so i didn't waste a hundred bucks.
As of right now Cloud IX has two possible gigs but neither one is anywhere close to here, so maybe we can get a little outside exposure. well i really don't have much to say, hope everyone has had a good spring break. cya monday

hey y'all I'm back. all right....................yea........so did I miss anything at school? probably not. o well. g'night.

Fri, 04 Feb 2005 22:18:38 GMT

"I think it's a good thing you won't be in the top 10 of your class. Then now you can go to North Harris County for a couple years before going to the University of Houston, which would be best for you really."

gee what a great future my dad sees me having.

EDIT:
better yet just screw the world.

The day T.V. died

Wed, 26 Jan 2005 02:11:19 GMT

haven't updated in a while. i dunno, just don't have much to say really anymore about anything. my life is going great, better than ever. I've solved all those typical teenage problems already: I know who i am, i know exactly what I stand for and believe in, i know who the people i need are, i know where i'm going in life. School's been better than ever (even if i did make a 73 in band hehe). My life is right where I thought I could only imagine at this point and i can sit back, relax and take the time to absorb life to its fullest as it goes by. Have a good night and may God bless you all.

R.I.P. Johnny, I'll never forget sneeking into my mom's room at night when I was 3 and 4 just to see those bright multicolored curtains everynight.

just had to say.............

At the end of the month I WILL HAVE THE COOLEST ROOM IN HUFFMAN!!!!

Fri, 07 Jan 2005 03:03:27 GMT

damn it......
after a long time of searching i had finally found a girl that honestly really cared for me that i wanted to be with. Laura just told me tonight that because of a possible job offer they might be moving to dallas. basically ANOTHER 2 1/2 hours away (5 hours from here). my mom wants me to end this relationship now (she said she never really believed it'd actually work) but i have no intentions on that. i want this to work so badly, i care for her so much but i dunno.........it's going to be really hard. I'm going to do anything i can to keep the best time of my life going.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO
2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kinda long but........

Sat, 25 Dec 2004 04:12:47 GMT

hey everyone it's christmas eve if you didn't know. This year my family and i didn't really focus on presents. i got some drum set stuff earlier this month and that's about it. As for my mom, i'm going to stay up all night after she goes to sleep and clean up the entire house for her. For the past 16 years that's what she's told me she's ever wanted. I think she'll like it. We're going to spend the rest of the day out at my grandma's house like we do about every year.

Every year the excitment leading up to Christmas day wears off quicker until it almost feels like just another day but the feeling I get with spending time with my mom and dad at denny's every year has never gone away. I know this may sound so stupid and something everyone would say but in all honesty the presents stop being that big a deal and just almost a distraction for what i truely enjoy about this day. Plus celebrating the birth of my savior whether or whether not it truely was December 25th or June something like I heard from somewhere else who cares? Celebrating something like that should be everyday and not just 12/25.

Someone else also celebrates a birthday tomorrow. even though I know she can't read this, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!!!!! I miss you.

I'll leave you with this conversation recorded a little earlier:

TravHoot2: hey fat man where are ya?
SantaClaus: Where indeed?
TravHoot2: that's what i wanna know, I WANT MY PRESENTS NOW!
SantaClaus: Go shopping?
TravHoot2: i don't have any money plus you have my presents
SantaClaus: Let me give you an early gift of wisdom; love your family and let them know it. That's priceless, and cannot be replaced by any material thing.
TravHoot2: they can with the "robo-family 3000" i told you i wanted
SantaClaus: Is there anything else?
TravHoot2: yes there is
SantaClaus: What would your final Christmas wish be?
TravHoot2: YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>:o
SantaClaus: Ho Ho Ho! All right, that gives me lots to go on! Why don't you type, "poll" and vote for your favorite holiday song.
TravHoot2: shut up
SantaClaus: Oh dear? What's the problem?
TravHoot2: you are you cracka-honkey jew
SantaClaus: Yes
TravHoot2: ok then
SantaClaus: OK then.
TravHoot2: you know what i'm doing this year?
SantaClaus: Nothing much. Just getting toys ready for every single child on the Earth. Nothing really.
TravHoot2: NOT YOU!!!!!!
SantaClaus: Type menu to get your to do list for the holidays.
TravHoot2: no
SantaClaus: If you don't ask me another way I'm afraid we just won't understand each other.
TravHoot2: listen fat man I'm going to get on the roof of my house and i'm going to wait foro you to pass by then I'm going to blow your brains out
SantaClaus: Would you mind trying to keep you questions to one sentence. I've got the entire world to visit and I'm running out of time.
TravHoot2: THAT WAS ONE SENTENCE!!!!!!!!!!>:o
SantaClaus: :-/
TravHoot2: YOU HEARD ME!!!
SantaClaus: Well, we are reading as fast as we can.
TravHoot2: screw you
SantaClaus: Hmm. I'm afraid that kind of language won't get you into the nice column with me. That's a lump of coal for you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

a challenge on a freaky website

Fri, 10 Dec 2004 04:39:28 GMT

I challenge any of you who:
-Are very good with computers (cause there's a lot of coding puzzles)
or
-Have a lot of free timeto attempt what is possibly the hardest puzzle ever:
www.thisisnotporn.com

like the name suggests this really isn't porn but a laberynth with a currently unknown number of rooms (i'm only on the 5th room). you must find clues in each room that'll give you a username and password to allow you to advance. from the beginning on the main page you'll see this is umm different. just click on the broken stove.

just sharing something with y'all

Well I made it here alive (i can already hear the groans). lol i love Ohio it's so nice and peaceful plus i get a couple days away from all the crap that goes on down there in Huffman.
Anyway today was great. I got to miss most of school for a jazz band gig and the Kingwood Country Club which was a lot of fun. Afterwards we got to go to Fudruckers where i discovered the joy of the Ragin Cajun.
On the plane they had a video talking about different things at the airports and in one of the scenes you could see my grandma and her boyfriend in line getting tickets lol. millions of people all around the world see that video and they're in it.

anyway i guess i'll talk to some of y'all later, i gotta go to bed. night

-DaHoot

long boring post

Wed, 10 Nov 2004 01:48:15 GMT

hmmmmmmm let's look back at 3 posts from when school started and what's become of it almost a semester later:

Ausust 17th:
Haven't updated since school started so here goes. My schedule isn't too bad, actually it's pretty good. I got this weird coach for IPC who wanted us to "EMBRACE THE PERIODIC TABLE!!!!!" I got Jazz Band too. I really have to get the feel for the piano again but I'll be ready for it. English is really good this year. No preps or jocks in sight. I sit with aaron and katie so that's pretty cool too. Lunch is going to be a lot of fun this year (sorry samantha). i sit with aaron, jacob, james, pooky, lloyd, and robert. I dunno i think this is going to be a pretty good year so far, but first i gotta get that book read for english.

NOW: That coach turned out to be Coach Phillips and he still is strange and scary. very monotone voice but will pick up about 100 decibles in an instant. aaron switches seats between me and vicki in english. jazz band is still great. pooky is in B lunch and we have chase and dayne at the table now. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

September 15th:
I dunno why but for some reason the band sucks big time this year. i dunno why. but we won't get past region this year, the football team sucks so you know what that means........................SHORT MARCHING SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I personally am glad about that because I can't take much more of this crappy quality any longer. ahhhhhh the magic that is homecoming. the time when insecure adolensent boys think about all the mistakes they've made with girls over the past year, hmmm........s'wonderful. I don't know if I'll have a date this year. Even if I don't though I still get the limo ride so either way i'm going to have a good homecoming. I haven't thought much about girls all that much lately really. Every once and a while I try to get a hold of Laura but with school starting it's really hard to keep in touch with her. I still miss her a lot. ahhhh o well anyway maybe i'll update in the next month, maybe not. keechwa is calling me for now.

NOW: The band got a lot better in the last weeks before contest and we made it to area. the football team made up for that loss and won 8 of their last 9 games to head to playoffs this week at the astrodome. I actually did get a hold of Laura and she was able to come down for homecoming. I've seen her one other time since (at area contest) but we talk on the phone almost every other day and have been going out for over a month now. and the whole limo ride didn't work out. I did in fact update within a month. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sept. 25
last night was the Hardin Jefferson game and the band never sounded better (silence is golden). took an hour drive up there sat on the bus for 30 minutes and then another hour back home thanks to.....IIIIIVANNNNNNN. bonnie and i sat in front of samanatha who really sounded she had some fun with the two boys who sat with here hehe (lloyd and justin) and behind brad and kim who we think were making out the whole bus ride hehe. When we got back kim bonnie and smalls invited me to starbucks for a little bit so i went with them. seemed like half the band showed up. screwed around in the parking lot for a while and blasted some Anchorman tunes while doing some strange dances. Today (and really still) i've been grounded for not keeping up with geometry. to put it in perspective i have 3 weeks to do a semester's worth of work. like......whoa..... some time during the day b*rad calls wanting to know how to make napalm, i hope i didn't blow him up. then kim and bonnie came over for a couple minutes until they went off to Rueben's house. my mom said i couldn't go awww. well that's been my fun couple days, plus i got my best report card since 8th grade. only small thing that went wrong was the girl i went to ask to homecoming pretty much said no. o well

NOW: The band did sound better than silence the next week. I still sit with Bonnie on the bus rides on away games. brad and kim didn't work out. That's still the last time i've been to starbucks. Samantha still has my Anchorman CD from that night. I've been grounded several other times for not doing geometry since this post but have in the past couple days dropped the course. That girl and I still remain great friends to this day. That best report card the next 6 weeks turned into a failing grade lol.

Thu, 04 Nov 2004 02:21:11 GMT

wow been a while. let's see....o yea nothing new. well Bush won which is bad news for my family because if the bill he created to privatize the postal service goes through my dad's out of a job and i won't be here in huffman anymore. well let's pray everything doesn't go through.

anyways since the last time i talked we made 9th place at area which i'm sure everyone knows by now. price is moving which really sucks. i have finally failed geometry which means i get to take it my junior year! whoo hoo?? well we're now on Cloud 9 part 4. still biggs smalls and me but with brad too. aaron and brad came up with some good stuff.

well please check this out and goodnight
