The Chronicles of John Trammell

Warning:  This post contains adult situations.  If you are uncomfortable reading about my thoughts, which can include my personal sexual thoughts, along with adult language; do not read this post.  This was written to help ease my mind.    Is it bad to be a college student who will be turning 25 years old in just a little bit less than two months who is still a virgin?  Who makes that decision over what is right?  Is it biology? Is it my personal beliefs? Is it what society and/or my peers who say if it is bad?  I feel that I have been in a constant battle with my hormones raging out of control, what I feel is the right thing to do, and how I see my peers treating the subject of sexual life.  This has been stuck in my head all day, because of events that occurred last night.              Scotty's brother, Bryan and his wife Randi, held a Halloween Party at their house last night.  I had go...

2012 Summer Series: Blog postings of my summer experiences of 2012.  I had become busy enough to not have time to write about most of my summer until now.  The blogs wont be in full details like other years, and mainly because of my lack of time to write.  Most my time is focused on school. Prologue:  The night before, I was at the birthday party of Randi (Scotty's Brother Bryan's Wife), and was texting Jane about going with her down to meet up with Jessica and Twig at the beach.  We had planned to meet at Huntington Beach, and that Jane and I would leave from the IE at 11 am.  After having a good time in San Diego, then a nice party with friends this night, adding a beach trip would just make the week even more awesome, since the week had started off bad with the Heart Rock Hike. July 29, 2012 In the morning, things seemed to start out just right.  Woke up and got ready with the excited feeling of going to the beach.  Drove to Jane's house ...

July 27-28, 2012 My parents, sister, and I had traveled down to San Diego for a over night trip.  On the 28th, we went to the San Diego Zoo.  It seemed to be a normal day at the zoo.  A little more crowded that I would have liked, but it wasn't bad.  Being in the cooler weather of San Diego was the best part of being at the zoo, other than seeing the Panda's, which are my favorite animals at the zoo.  After walking around for quite a while, I felt we needed a break, and it was lunch time.  The parents agreed to eat at the nice sit down restaurant located near the Gorillas.  It was a nice change for once.  After the zoo, we had went ...

July 25, 2012 After having a 15 day stretch of traveling in the summer, things had slowed down. As I start to stay home, I get bored and dream of traveling. I start to get a little crazy at times. I have been hanging out with Jane and old acquaintances from High School; Jessica and John (known as twig). Jane and I had the urge to go up to the mountains, and had invited Jessica and twig to come along. The plan was to hike to Heart Rock, enjoy some lunch and being in nature, then possibly head to Lake Arrowhead Village. For me, Heart Rock was going to be the highlight of the trip. Hiking through the forest, listening to the sounds of Seeley Creek, and go swimming while having ...

Texas 4-H Congress--July 15-18, 2012      I had the opportunity to represent the California 4-H Technology Leadership Team (TLT) with an exchange we do with the Texas 4-H Technology Team again this year.  Unlike last year, the TLT would attend a different event, called Texas 4-H Congress.  This event took place at the Texas State Capitol Building in Austin.  Around 350 Texas 4-H Members would have the chance to run a mock legislative process at the Texas Capitol using the Texas House of Representatives and Senate Floors along with the committee hearing rooms.  Other than the Texas Capitol, the even took place at the Sheraton Austin H...

     My cousin, Amanda, is currently in Afghanistan for the third time.  About one month ago, she had learned that her apartment rent was being increased by $300.00.  She had decided it was time to move out.  Her boyfriend, Jonathan, her mom, and I would be the ones to help move her out.  Because I was in Sacramento and San Diego the past 4 days, I wasn't able to fly up with my aunt.  The morning after my San Diego trip (mentioned in my last blog post), I flew on up to Portland to help them finish up the move. My flight took off at 6:40am.  Since I wasn't going to have any checked luggage, I planned to arrive at the airport at 5:40, which for Ontario is plenty of time to get through security.  When my sister dropped me off, and I walked inside of terminal 4, I was surprised to see one massive line to go up towards the security check point.  I have flown out of Ontario now well over 50 times, an...
