When I get back to the world, this will be a dream.......but for now, the world is a dream

About Me

The two Different sides of Travis that you should know about.......The Fire Fighter side


and the Acting and Theatre Side


alright well obviously my name is Travis.....I am living in Burbank, Cali. Im a blue collar kind of guy. Im the kind of guy who really likes going to some no name club and seeing a band play but at the same time enjoys just sitting around in a coffee shop reading a book. I graduated from the Verdugo Fire Academy Class IX. I am now a Fire Fighter for the city of La Habra Heights (Im still very new and in my probationary period, wish me luck.) for any of you who care I am actually an EMT-B-D and I have certifications in Anti-terrorism, Bio-Hazard, Homeland Security, Vehicle Extrication, Flashover, Weapons of Mass Distruction, Rescue, Wildland, and many more. I act on the side (who doesnt in LA) and really enjoy it as a hobby. Im not much of a singer but I do love musicals and I like doing any good play I can get my hands on, I always enjoy working with talented actors who are passionate about their work. My other job is working at a Tux shop called Friar Tux (I know its weird that I work at a place that has nothing to do with fire or acting but it pays the bills and I think it is awsome I get to work with people who are just about to get married) along with doing all that I also work for Glendale College in the Theatre Department.....I used to be a student at GCC and now take occassional classes at Mt Sac. Oh yes and I love anything Irish and I absolutley love taking pictures and doing photography, if you are interested I have all of my really big pictures in the photo section under TravisJames Photography. I really have no idea what else to say and I think I have made to much of an fool of myself already so I will leave it at that. If you want to know more about me...ask me or IM me...SuFiTravisJames is my screen nameThis is some of the video taken from my training with the Verdugo Fire Academy, enjoy

My Interests

Fire Fighting and anything to do with it....its kind of taken over my life..........Anything Irish.............and Im addicted to movies - I have a rather large collection. I also do photography and have most of my best pictures in my photo section under TravisJames Photography or visit my other myspace Pyrolysis Photography

I'd like to meet:

Im guessing people.....but aliens would do nicely......if there was talking animals that would be cool....maybe a talking cat (puss in boots if you are out there contact me).....If the song Freebird were a tangible person it would be awsome to meet it just so I could yell from across the room "FREE BIRD" and not feel like a red neck.......Id like it to be someone female becuase I dont think I could have a relationship with a cat.....or free bird.......or Peter Griffin.....but for him I would tryI wouldnt mind meeting God, or Jesus, whoever is in charge.......I have some questions

Music:

I quite honestly like to many different kinds of music to write down I am one of those people who listens to anything from Bad Religion (my favorite band for quite some time) to Tim McGraw (I only recently started to appriciate a little bit of country) to Imogen Heap (I guess she would be considered Indie...I like Frou Frou too...same thing) and everything in between......Alternative, Indie, Blues, Hard Rock, Rap, Country, Punk, Rock, Metal, 80s.....anything and everything just depends how Im feeling....And some Foo Fighters.......Also my brother is a extremely talented musician is the head of some great bands so he has always been a very strong influence to new music I listen to and opens me up to a lot of music I dont think I would be influenced by in any other spectrum of life.

Movies:

Dead Poets society, Brotherhood of the wolf, Boondock Saints, Resevoir dogs, breakfast club, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks...basically anything from Kevin Smith, anything made by Tim Burton and Danny Elfman, most things Disney, Empire Records, Tombstone, Wet Hot American Summer......oh ya and Im absolutley obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas and Blues Brothers (mostly just the original one).......oh and again anything that Kevin Smith has even touched....I even thought Jersey Girl was cute

Television:

LOST, Drawn Together, Family guy, Simpsons, futurama, west wing, How I Met Your Mother, insomniac, space above and beyond (even though it is not on and no one remembers it) , Firefly (even though it was another favorite of mine that was cancelled), Rescue Me, Grays Anatomy, celebrity poker, for the most part anything on comedy central. Extreme Makeover: home edition (what can I say I like seeing deserving people get something good...its heart warming)

Books:

The Giving Tree......greatist book ever.........Lord of the Rings, Stories from Ground Zero, The Cobra Event, Da Vinci Code, Angels and Deamons, Fight Club, The Stand, Titus Andronicus, I am Legend, Haunted (this is one screwed up book but a really good read).....and yes I have recently read the Harry Potter series and unfortunatley have to admit that I like it...a lot

Heroes:

Any rescue worker who was at the site on 9/11/01...firefighters in general, Our boys over seas - support our troups even if you dont agree with the president, my father, anyone who is passonate and willing to hurt for what they love and put their whole heart into what they do.......................................................... ..................................and Batman
