Birthday Cruise Confirmed & Life Throws Unforseen Instances---

My friend, Todd confirmed that we would be definitely be going on this cruise, now he has changed the destination 2 Mexico instead of Jamaica. There is a lot of turmoil going on in the Caribbean and I just want to have fun but at the same time, have a blast and be very safe and cautious! As far as unforeseen circumstances, I am talking about certain friends in my life. It just seems as no matter how good I am or that I try to be...people just have a problem with how I live my life and act...Half of the people I know whom I keep in touch with tell me that I do not call as much and that I am a true friend to be keeping in touch, while the others say that I bug them too much. It just makes me feel bad and I have no clue as to what do....but I cannot satisfy all of them. What do I do? I pray, try to live correctly, what is going on with them?

Mighty Midnight Madness w/Sex & The City 2 Pre-Screening

I labeled this post with the use of the word, "mighty" because it was just that kind of a night. First, we started out at Copeland's for drinks @ 9PM and yes, I had a coke and that was all, no Jack and Rum/Vodka none of that and we were there until like 10:30PM....after we all were done chillen and enjoying each other's company we headed to the movie theater to get a good seat for the Premiere and we were in there with a huge blank white screen til about 11:10 then random shots came up on the screen and people were cheering when the trailers started coming on and then really dancing and getting excited when the actual movie premiered! You can always expect the unexpected in Louisiana as far as movies are concerned! People will clap and talk back at people in the movie all out loud where it is not even funny! But before the movie even began, I was talking to Brian and all of a sudden I felt pickle juice spill on the back of my head and on my jacket and on Brian as well! We were highly pissed off and if I found out who did that on purpose I would have been going to jail cuz I do not play when it comes to my clothes and jerks just doing immature BS on purpose! I thought that this movie was better than the first one. At times, there are sequels that are better than the original and vice versa! The one ting that was consistent is Samantha's sexual jokes! She was too damn hilarious! I loved the start of this movie because Jay-Z & Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind" song was in the opening credits and everyone in the theater was clapping and cheering and dancing in their seats! I loved the Morocco/Middle East parts of the movie...I love NYC, but that trip that they took to Abu Dubai was fantastic! There were some crude sexual parts that were too damn funny! It is really good and I will most likely see it again...prolly when it has been out for a while to avoid the intense crowds 'cuz we saw it at the Midnight Pre-Screening!

Travis Sets Sails for Montego Bay 4 My 29th Birthday!

You can't believe it? I cannot believe it!! I do not even have a passport! My friend Todd & I were talking and he threw out and idea to go on a cruise to Jamaica for my Birthday this year! This is huge! I mean I have always wanted to go and do something outrageous and out of my comfort zone and something that I am not use too, but this! I never though in a million years that something like this would ever or could ever happen to me! Seriously! ME on a cruise! Unbelievable! I am still in shock and it has not absorbed in yet! I have always wanted to travel internationally and I have seen people go on cruises in movies, or knowing people personally, but to have this happen to me in mind-blowing! I cannot get over it! No one has EVER done anything this generous for me ever in my entire life! I think that I am just fixated on that concept and that it could happen rather than it is going to be happening! Me to be on a beach with white sand, an water that is really blue and that I can literally see through and that is not brown, polluted,and dirty! That would definitely be a thrill! The entire time I would be thinking about "Titanic." Lol! It just only seems natural! Of course, I would not want the cruise ship to sink, but my head is still spinning at this notion that this might happen! I cannot write any more because I am still in total shock!

Baby Oliver's 1st Birthday & Me Being AWESOME!!!

To make a long blog short, because I am tired.....I sent some baby gifts to Oliver, Ty, and Madison. Today was Oliver's birthday and I sent him some Elmo nightwear and other clothing items and I did the same for the other two kids, Ty and Madison...these kids are very special because I know and respect their parents and I love kids and anytime I go to Utah, I just have to see Brady and Rachel (Madi), Zach and Lisa (Oliver), and Travis and Janelle (Ty). I do not mind shopping for my friend's children. I love doing it. I loved when Lisa told me yesterday that I was tooo nice. I do not do things to impress people, to get respect form them, etc. I do it because as it states in my blog title....this is just in me to be nice and to do for people who are worthy of my friendship and these three couples listed in this blog deserve it and I never look back and regret what I do! I feel so blessed and honored to be able to do what I can do for their kids! Heavenly Father knows my heart and my efforts......even though I do not have it to do, I still do it with joy and most importantly, with love!

"Just Wright" Movie Premiere Night!!!

This movie was simply predictable, I knew from jump street how it was going to end, these always tend to happen in romantic/romantic comedy films. All in all-I loved this movie! Common and Queen Latifah are extraordinary together! I give them two thumbs up or five if I had them! Lol. They had humor and they had serious and real scenes and it is a shame to know that Morgan (character in the film) was acting the way that she was behaving and to know that there are people like that in real life! It is just a shame and don't you think it is so super funny when something happens in a movie and UNEXPECTEDLY, the audience claps because they LOVED what happened. That actually happened in this movie and I was laughing at them, but was clapping inside because clapping in a movie just is...um....not needed..Clapping is needed for a opera or a musical, or a play or when ur on the Red Carpet cheering! Ha! All in all...couples NEED to see this movie, it will not make you cry, but it is TRULY romantic!

The Frontier Final/Tour of Airport v. C'n a Celebrity @ the Airport

Frontier Final Exam: Well, I did not ace it-but I did earn a 93% and was very proud of my achievement! I was working hard ever since Apr. 26th. Which is when training actually began and the class started out with a total of 15 and now there are only 9 of us left! Shocking, huh? But half of the people there cheat and text and do not take it seriously and I will not be apart of that at all...I want to become a Supervisor and I will shone ON MAH OWN! I am asking what needs to be done in order to attain that position.....the other people that they hired are just a hot mess and that is all that I can say for them! We are supposed to help each other out, but I will have a hard time doing that knowing that they are already talking and making fun of other people int he class, texting each other, cheating/not paying attention, asking to go use the restroom to go talk and text! Ridiculous!!!

Tour to the Airport: We took a tour of our Gate at the Airport...it will be C3 and it looks like a cool lil space! We saw the new Dell Computers at the ticket counter stations! Exciting! I am a little bit nervous because I do not want to make any mistakes but both the instructors, Ana and Joy tell me all the time that I am going to do just fine and I need to stop stressing! Lol...I just cannot help it! :(

The Celebrity: Mrs. Alfre Woodard: While touring the Airport, we ran across a famous African-American actress, Alfre Woodard...I love her so very much and Ana and Joy told us that when we are working-we ARE NOT ALLOWED to stalk, leave counters, or run behind celebs because we will see them and we are representing Frontier Airlines. They make a valid point, but still CELEBRITIES....Need I say more? :)

Sandra Bullock Moves to NOLA!

I found out last night that Sandra Bullock has bought a house in Uptown NOLA in the Garden District and is raising her 3 month old adopted son here! She spent her FIRST Mother's Day here! She was spotted in a museum in the French Quarter! This is amazing! I love Sandra Bullock and to know that she lives here, maybe I will be able to see her! I love celebs! Love them to death! This was a picture that was taken when she visited a high school in New Orleans before promoting her movie, "The Blind Side." She is in the top 15 of most richest actresses and she is rich; but as in her personality and what she does for the communities and she is a well-respected person and I love her!! Geaux Sandra!

Iron Man 2 Premiere w/Les: Da Birthday Boy

I, Travis, am SO NOT THE ONE who prefers to go to the theater to see a movie on a Sunday; I only did it because it was my friend's birthdaya nd he asked me to come along! Sunday is the day of rest according to the Holy Bible and I do try to honor that, but truth be told, that is NOT the MAIN reason I choose not to to see a movie on a Sunday. I choose not to go simply because I do not count Sunday as a weekend; technically, it is the start of the week, but enuf of that. I did in fact, see "Iron Man 2" on today and it was great! It was even better than the last one. Naturally, it ended with "The Avengers" coming in 2012! Robert Downey, Jr. always has these sarcastic remarks that he makes in the movies and they are so funny that you just cannot help urself, but to laugh! All in all it was good and I loved it. Glad I did not see it in 3D because that would have cost a lot more $$$$!! :)

90% + 88%= 2nd Week of Training Completed!

This week was really bizarre.....because I had a lot of tests that I was studying for and I was studying for 4 and five hours....when I told the training instructors how long I was studying...they laughed and was in shock...I am trying to remember all the information that I learn in class because I will use it in real life at the ticket counter! All in all, this week-was pretty good and I passed all the required testing.I just cannot wait until all the testing is over!! OVER!! OVER!! OVER!!

Test #2 on PNR's, VCR's, Ticketing, and Reservations

We took a test today in training class and I am so very proud of mahself. The first part of the test was multiple choice based on everything we learned and went over constantly and I only missed 2 and scored a 96%! Yay! The second portion of the test was to construct a fake reservation in the Frontier Sabre system and we were given the elements like where to, departure times, contact information, etc to make the reservation and I did them BOTH perfectly and scored a 100%! I did it all correct and I was so proud of myself! I really have been paying attention to details and studying, treating this like a real class as if I was in school! I am so proud of the remarkable work that I am doing! Hopefully I can be on the ball in person when the ticket and gate counters open up!! :)

I Meet Celebrities....Jason Segel from "I Love You Man" and Ed Helms from "The Hangover"

Me with Ed Helms...the star of "The Hangover."
Me with Jason Segel: The Star of "I Love You, Man!"

There is a film being filmed in Metairie, La. right near my home and I got the opportunity to take photos of the production and with the two actors who will star in the film debuting in Spr. 2011, it is called "Jeff Who Lives At Home." It stars Jason Segel from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "I Love You Man." I was running all the way down the street to get a pic with him and he along with his co-star was so nice and friendly! I felt like I was in the presence of royalty...to get that close to an actor and to take a pic..I can say my life can end happy knowing how much I love movies!! Lol



The second pic that I took was with Ed Helms, he was the man whom lost his tooth in the funny movie, "The Hangover" n he was just as friendly! The girl whom I asked to take the picture of us did not know how to take the pic horizontally and I had to stop my pose and show her...aint that sad and she works with the filming crew and she does not know that? Are u serious?? Anyhow, she took the picture with my eyes closed and did not even ask us e ere ready...a common pic taking rule/law...I was pissed at her for that but I still love the pics because it was with an actor! :) Today was a great day!!! They have the street blocked off for the car accident scene, and all that....man oh man, how excited was I! I went up to him and I said, I see you got your tooth back and I said to Jason, "I know mah farts too!" They both laughed and said I must love movies and I said, YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!

"Nightmare on Elm Str." w/Mah Boyz

I went to see this movie with 12 people and it was packed and I was anticipating it being sold out...but it got sold out just as we got done purchasing our tickets!! Lol! Imagine that! First off, you cannot re-make a classic as my friend, Tayna says and I agree to..but this movie was very good, I was jumping because some scenes caught me off guard when I was relaxed and actually into the movie and there was no quiet music and all the little things to forewarn you of a scary part. That is a very crucial element when making horror films, I think. This movie was 2 G's: "GOOD AND GORY!" The gore was PERFECT! It was not fake gore as in other horror movies, it was grrreat and I would want to see it again! It was really really really good! No doubt, the only thing that I did not like was that Freddy Krueger. He was not having that UMPH like the original Freddy! Even though his face was severely burned, his face looked so different that the original Freddy's and that was very noticeable to me! All in all, this was a superb movie and I recommend that you see it! It will have to be in the weekend...mark mah words!

Week I of Training + Great Attendance= Week I Completed!!!

Well, we only had one test this week and already we lost 2 people of our 15.....there are a few rules to training...we have to take seven quizzes and we have to score at least an 85% or higher on all seven and we can only fail one. If we fail one we can re-take it, but we need perfect scores from that point forward-I scored a 90% on my first one and I only missed two because I was overconfident and I misread the question..I will not make that mistake again! The majority of them I got correct...so that is still a good thing! All week, I was impressing the training instructors and my Supervisor, Alan and he told me that if he gets the Ok from his boss, he will want to hire some Supervisors and they will be chosen ONLY from my group, which have only 13 people in there now. He is really looking at me and that would be so great! I have a passion to become a Supervisor in any job that I pursue so you know how I must be feeling right now! Pretty darn excited! Everyone is telling me that I KNOW so much, how I act/dress, and even ALAN AND SOME OF THE OLDER PEOPLE IN THE CLASS ARE WANTING AND ASKING FOR MY ASSISTANCE! That makes me feel great when anyone can come to me and ask me for my help! I am shining in this class! I thank God for bringing this job to me! :)

Jennifer Lopez' Backup Plan....Wow!

I thought that this movie was cute, and predictable, and I guessed the ending part...I thought the ending part would have happened a little bit more it initally did, but that the hell...it was funny, romantic, and sweet! Jennifer Lopez did a really good job-NOT superior, but her acitng was very original in this movie-but still a funny film and I enjoyed it! Jeniifer is still mah girl! :)
The birthing scene was the MOST FUNNIEST part in the entire movie!! LMAO!!

Job Training Began Today!

Classroom Instruction @ the Radisson Hotel-Airport began today and all it was basically was fifteen of us on laptops taking these courses and then a post-test for each course afterwards. That is all that today was and tomorrow we just have to pick up right where we left off @. We have to be dressed casually for this training for the next three weeks...I have no idea what is ahead, but I do know that on-the-training does not begin until May 20th! I was going through the courses really fast and paying attention to the major stuff but I saw and learned about so many different things....the loading bridge at the airport, ticket breakdown, how to open the Airbus door, the different types of classes of fires, all types of acronyms....it was a lot to digest and I cannot tell you all of it-but it was TOO MUCH! It starts at 8am every morning and lasts until 3pm, but we do get paid for it, which is a good thing! I am so looking forward to earning money-u have no idea! I came home and fell fast asleep and I do not know why I was sitting down all day today at the training session taking test and test after test! Lol
