About Me

My name is Travis Petchell, I’m 21 years old and I’m majoring in Environmental Science at the University of Portland. I am an introverted person, yet I really enjoy meeting new people. I am very independent and have only a handful of close friends. I am pretty healthy. I work out often, and I don’t drink, smoke, or eat fast food. I am very athletic and enjoy pretty much anything that involves strength, speed, and coordination. Soccer is my favorite sport but I also enjoy basketball, biking, tennis, hackey-sack, ping-pong, rock climbing, and dancing. I listen to music all the time. And occasionally have to bust a move in my room when my roommate is out. I love all types of music except for most punk rock and country. I rarely watch TV, but I often watch movies. I like pretty much ever genre as long as it’s realistic according to its premise. Only comedies can get away with unrealistic situations. Comedy is my favorite genre because I love to laugh. I love the feeling you get the next day when you’ve laughed so hard your abs are sore. Those are good times. But back to describing myself, I am very friendly and respectful. I am compassionate, understanding, and open-minded. I have strong morals and a strong work ethic. I try and act the way I want others to act so I am not being hypocritical. I have beliefs, but they do not correspond to any established religion. I respect others’ beliefs even if I do not agree with them. I have a deep respect for the environment and I hope to help protect it in my career ventures. Let’s see what else…. oh yeah, I’m a cat person, not a dog person. Well, that was my basic introduction, and I hope you enjoyed it.

Movies:

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, Anchorman, Starsky and Hutch, Bedazzled, Terminator 1-3, Rocky 1-5, Falling Down, The Matrix 1-3, Crash, Army of Darkness, Pootie Tang, The Nightmare before Christmas, Dodgeball, Back to the Future 1-3, Blow, Edward Scissorhands, Forrest Gump, Saturday Night Fever, The Game, Fahrenheit 9/11, Undercover Brother, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Troy, and many others. Oh, and I hate any movie where babies talking, making jokes, and/or fighting is the main premise.

Television:

I really don't watch television that much anymore, but I used to, and so my favorite shows are Seinfeld (the greatest show of all time), The Daily Show, Chappelle's Show, Mad TV, SNL (except for lately), and Family Guy. I usually only like comedies on TV. I also really enjoy watching music videos. It makes a good song even better when you have an awesome music video that goes along with it. Oh and I hate commercials, especially McDonald's commercials, and that's why I've bought most of my favorite shows on DVD.

Books:

I really don't read very much, but when I do I tend to read books about magic and adventure... to me reading reminds me too much of school and so in my free time I usually stay away from any words written on a page. I will probably read more after I am finished with school.

Heroes:

I only have one hero and that would be my dad. He gave me the childhood I only hope I can someday offer to a child of my own. His tough love, honesty, encouragement, and belief in me helped create the tools I needed to handle any situation later in life.
