I am an Information Security Analyst by day [ did I just hear someone yawn and click away... ]. And a writer, traveler, and a wannabe chef at night.
Not Me...
What does that mean exactly? I have a bit of dorkiness [ My JHS English Teacher would be so proud ]. I deal with the protection of computers and networks. Boring stuff really [ okay... now I'm yawning... ]. And definitely not first date material.
I write about love, family, and what it means to be father.
I have opinions, some that get me into trouble, and others that people share in.
I have friends in the industry. We hang out all the time, and from time to time, they like to drop by. Unannounced, of course! [ Dang it, Brad! You can not crash on my couch! Sheesh! ], but I let em’ cause I like em’. They at least let me ride some of the jets. [ You still owe me Ashton, I don't care what Demi thinks! ]
[ Not really ]
Oh… and I make up words… ‘Cause English and me… Well we have an understanding. It tells me the rules, and I go break them. Cause that’s how English and me roll!
Travis has never appeared on: ABC News Now video, CNN.com, CBS radio Los Angeles, Toronto Globe & Mail, nor McClatchy News syndication
Except for that one time…. And I don’t want to talk about.

Shaun of the Dead! I broke up with a guy because he wouldn’t watch it with me.

And rightfully so! I mean… it’s Shaun of the Dead! No man is worthy of you, if they can’t be all “sweet awesome almighty” by that idea!
Well, he also had other issues. But the refusal to watch Shaun shoulda been the first.

Exactly… I agree.
*sigh*
…still so secretive. So many questions I want to ask. So many blanks wanting to be filled in!

I have so many blanks…
Which ones do you want filled in?
Do you have a brother who gets Shaun of the dead, The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, and is single? If so, is he anywhere in the vicinity of Kansas?

Travis, yes, Perry does look like a scrawnier version of Henry Rollins. I like Jane’s Addiction. I like the fact that you will write your own fairy tale. That way, you’ll know the beginning, the middle and the ending (or, rather, maybe it will be a never ending fairy tale). -Pipi
Pippi´s last blog ..Baby, my room is the G spot, call me Mr. Flintstone, I can make your bedrock…
I’m not sure what the title had to do with the post, but I love Ke$ha. So do my kids. My son texted me from a middle school dance to tell me the DJ was playing Tik Tok.
I like some of Jane’s Addiction stuff. My kids used to refer to “Been Caught Stealing” as the “barking doggie song”.

If you look through out the post, you will see her lyrics… I was listening to her song “Your love is my drug” and then it jumped over to Jane’s Addiction “Stop” (The album version has a really cool introduction to the song) and between those two songs [ Yeah... super weird combo ] My mind just kept pondering how we feel so addicted to wanting to be in love… and then the second to the last paragraph was more of my fighting a sense of addiction to wanting to just jump into love for the sake of it.
And, of course Jane’s Addiction caused me to think, “oh, Ke$ha sure acts addicted…”
Of course I was working on a coding problem at the time… hence, the obscure title…
Hey its your blog and your style. If someone has difficulty with it, they can always move on, right?
But yeah, I get this. Occasionally we have to remind ourselves that we’re writing for ourselves.

Travis, your style is your style and just as T says, if someone has difficulty with it they will move on. I like your style!

Meh, if folks don’t like your style, they need to find another blog. I like you style, sometimes I don’t have time to work out everything that’s going on in a post, but I don’t tend to go into someone else’s home and proceed to complain about the decor.
alley´s last blog ..JOB INTERVIEW!!!
Well I’m nothing if not honest Travis… so yeah, I do want a guy who is successful and has money- but not for the reasons you think. You see, I’ve been burned before. I’ve dated guys (one in particular) who couldn’t keep a steady job and therefore never had a steady paycheck. As a result of that, all the weight was put on me to be the stable income and the responsible adult. So to me, a man who earns a decent living is a man who is capable of being responsible, and the fact of the matter is: Life costs money, and I’m a much nicer person when I’m not worrying about how to cover the bills at the end of the month.
There’s also another aspect to this, and that is my own income. I make an okay salary for someone in their mid-twenties, and I typically date older men. So, do I want to date a man who’s had more time to make something of himself and has accomplished less than I have? No. I want a man who is equally or more ambitious than I am. My ambitions are important to me, and I wouldn’t be compatible with someone who was chillaxin’ at 7/11 or still in meaningless jobs at 30.
And lastly, of course I like my “things”, but I’m perfectly okay buying them for myself. It is nice though to have someone on the same level as me who can afford to do things with me. If I want to go on a vacation or to a concert etc. and my significant other is constantly too broke to go out with me- that’s going to hold me back after a while.
A guy doesn’t have to have $200,000 or even $100,000… but it’d be nice if we were at least equals. Call me old fashioned!
