If so, then I am so very sorry for your loss! They also messed up on Jodi's size. She said she was 5'5 and 1/2? Not that it matters!

yea. we didn't hang out or anything but I went to church with him about 12 years ago. I was in a singles ward with him before I got married.Originally Posted by LittleMomma
I remember him being very self-confident (I used the word cocky before but it has a pretty negative connotation to it and I don't think its accurate.) He was a very friendly guy. Always dressed really sharp. Really funny guy.
Your diary entries are hilarious!
It's just so sad! After reading his blogs and learning of how he was brought up and then being the killed this way breaks my heart. God must have great plans for him in Heaven.
I kinda got that impression when reading his bio. on his blog and myspace pages. He seemed what I like to call full of himself but in a positive way. He was a good looking guy and he knew it. After the abuse he suffered from his mother it was almost impressive learning how sucessful he became. It's just to bad that his life had to end the way it did. I hope she rotts!
If, if he said anything might have been on the order of " after everything I have done for you". Wouldn't think he would swear. The lead up to the stabbing had to be a narcissistic insult...something that offended/insulted her. Would guess it could have been about Mimi being a lady...someone he would be proud to be seen with or she had some special talent that Jodi doesn't possess. Or he could have insulted her by saying she really wasn't that great in bed. Just some guesses.
i was reading from an court reporter it was the pic of all the stabs in travis' back - its been posted here, but i have no idea where -some one posted a link today to i think
This was on the Travis Alexander Memorial Page. I think it is really sweet and just a reminder of what a great guy he was. I think during this trial so much is focused on what a horrible person Jodi is but sometimes its overlooked what a good person he was. Yes he had his flaws but don't we all?
Finding this snippet from an old journal entry, today, from back in 2008, makes all of this somehow more difficult. I miss Travis even more, if that?s even possible, and it brought me to tears once again. I?ve been very strong throughout this whole trial, minus the first few wks. of trial, where I was forced to mourn the loss I never realized I had never mourned, upon seeing autopsy photos I did not ever want to see. This journal entry was meant to allow myself closure. I was desperately seeking closure I hadn?t received yet. I have since found peace. I have forgiven Jodi long ago. It?s said when we do not forgive another; it?s much like taking poison expecting the other person to die. If we do not forgive Jodi, she will have power over us and in a sense, take our lives too. I WILL NOT, allow this evil to take my life too. I WILL continue to remember my friend the way I knew him. The ?sins? he may have committed before death and the way in which he died, is only part of his ?story.? It WILL NOT, nor will it ever, define whom Travis IS. His spirit lives on. He is happy. We were able to connect on a deep spiritual level that has gone far past the grave. I am still very connected to his spirit. He ?speaks? to me. He is happy. He still jokes and has his sense of humor. Little things have happened that I will keep private, but have been made known to me that he is ok and happy and near and cheering me on, cheering on all of us. He is my ?guardian angel.? Travis wants us to know that he wants us to be happy. He desires us to forgive Jodi, as he has already forgiven her. He doesn?t want us to cry, but to smile. Though typing that makes me cry and smile at the same time. It?s very important we remember Travis for Travis, setting aside all the ?junk? we are experiencing, at this short time. His legacy will live on inside each one of us. He touched each one of us differently and in so many ways. I know I?m a better person because I knew Travis. I know his truth. I know who he IS. Heavenly Father and his brother and Savior, Jesus Christ, do too. He is ok. He would want all of us to remember how he touched our lives and use that GOODNESS and share that with others to become our highest and BEST selves possible. He would want us to share the GOOD not allowing us to focus on anything else. It truly is a nightmare and beyond comprehension as to why this happened. However, we all have the opportunity to perceive this trial differently. We all have the right to choose. I choose to hold firm to positivity and goodness. And I choose to share his goodness and continue to live his legacy by living true to my own truths that Travis helped me to see. I love you for that Travis. Until we meet again I will help honor your legacy.

?I've never done anything like this before. I feel I have to, in order to get past Travis' death. There are many things I still wanted to have the chance to do with Travis. I feel because my husband and he didn't like each other, it has robbed me of my closeness with Travis. I have missed that closeness for sometime now and just last week called Travis crying to him in a voicemail because I was in need of his friendship and a Travis style "pick me up" as only Travis could do. He always had a way of easily putting life into perspective very easily. I was always in awe of his success, his drive, his goal setting, and his way of looking at life. Yes we all know Travis was a bit "cocky" or at least he came across this way to a lot of folk...my husband in particular ...many didn't like him for this "attribute" but anyone who really knew Travis saw right through this so called "cockiness" and saw it as an endearing trait only Travis could pull off. It was sort of a "fake it till you make it'' attitude. It was confidence that a lot couldn't handle. He had so many things going for him. Like any great Hero, it always seems to end in a tragedy. I believe, well at least I'd like to believe his death was orchestrated this way for a purpose. In his life he was always trying to make his mark and make a difference.....and thus this will continue in his death as his death has impacted so many lives. It allows us all to reflect and ponder life and its fragility. It forces us, that know Travis, to inspect our own lives and ask ourselves if what we are doing is impacting this world, or those around us within this world. It forces us to remember how truly fragile this life is and how much there is to accomplish.
Since his passing I've been through many emotions mostly sadness only because I, like many of you, are now robbed of having Travis' great influence in our lives, helping us remember why we are here and where we are going. So now we must remember this when we think of his death and ask ourselves if we would be ready to go meet our maker today, if we passed from this life to the next. Travis lived his life to the fullest each day, so that at the end of it he could answer in the affirmative to this very question.
Since I stayed with Travis "and friends" for almost a month a few yrs. back I got to know the real Travis because of this. I feel privileged to have had this time to get close to him on a level that most never got. Granted at times, Travis, you tried to get a little too close if you know what I mean. I'm sorry for denying your kisses. We were never meant to be more than just friends. I had wished on so many occasions that I could feel something romantic for Travis, because he was the perfect catch in my eyes.
These are the things about Travis that I almost think about daily and will continue the rest of my life: (some things will only have meaning to me)
? Wooden hangers in his amazing closet
? His amazingly loud suits that only Travis could pull off
? His love for his shaving kit with
? Manis and pedis and clear nail polish that he would get pissed that it was peeling so quickly!
? And this is one of my favorite most endearing qualities: when he went "tinkle" how he would sing a hymn or other song or whistle. It always made me smile
? His ever growing collection of cuff links
? His amazing shoes
? The way he made you feel like the most beautiful woman in the room
? The way he would sing his many random songs and quote old Saturday Night love skits
? Cuddling up to a late night movie
? His amazing knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his desire to always choose the right. And when he didn't and maybe fell short, as we all do...his desire to repent and make things right.
? His intuitiveness and the way he knew me better than I know myself sometimes.
? Crying on his shoulder and his comfort (I will miss this the most as I've needed it lately and I'm sad I can't have it one last time. What I would do to have one last embrace.)
? I'm sad because I felt I was a friend who was always "taking" in a sense from Travis and never making enough ?deposits. ?
Now is my chance to make ?friendship deposits? by sharing this with all of you and whoever will read/listen and be his voice whenever possible to defend his honor.
Like I said on his memorial book (As Jodi was reading over my shoulder and even made a creepy comment that she liked what I wrote, mind you) ??this isn?t goodbye, it?s see you later my friend. Until we meet again. I love you xo?e?
For reals. I've been on MDS since 2006 (though I've been inactive recently), and I'm still trying to figure out this damn new forum. Wahh.

Wow that crazy petition boo-hooing about the media being mean to Jodi? Did they update the text or did I not notice before how they tried to make it seem like it was about justice and that they give a rat's ass about Travis' family?
What I'm about to quote is right below a link to the Jodi fan club site proclaiming her innocence.
Yes they had the nerve to put that in bold.With all due respect to the family of Travis Alexander, this petition supports justice being delivered in this trial, via the judge and jury system, NOT through the sensational and misleading statements by these hosts and others at HLN, sadly designed and calculated soley to boost their ratings, and create revenue for the station. It is a sad commentary and we believe, these shows, are at their core, disrespectful to the process of justice, and ultimately to the family and friends of Travis Alexander, as well as to Jodi Arias, who will be rendered a verdict by the jury through due process.
Thank you. Please share this petition if you agree with our message.
All due respect? Like the respect that Jodi had for Travis when she butchered him in cold blood? Or like the respect that Jodi had for Travis' family when slandered him with lies and phoney allegations of being a pedo and physical abuser?
Just trying to get that straight.
Btw, they're up to 10 signatures.

hahhahah!!! I'm just laughing at the crazy cats, im sorry your kitchen looks like a beachi have had to pause the trial many times threatening the cats with the spray bottle
I just wing it. I know i'm still a noob but i remember the livejournal days! Holy comments.
I get so teary when they show his smiling face and when i read stuff like this about him. Oh and especially when they show his sisters in the courtroom. Oh man.. gets me every time.
Thank you so much for sharing this tggrrl. My heart breaks for all of those that lost him. Especially the siblings <3 I lost my older brother back in '89 from a freak neighborhood baseball accident. He was 10 going on 11 the next day. We were 16 months apart. That was a very hard day for my family for sure but this seriously tops the cake. I could never imagine going through anything like this either. He, his friends and his family deserve justice!
Wow my first time seeing this. Just brutal.

Nurmi adjusting his wurmi. I think I just puked a little in mah mouf!Very professional
Aaaahm,RIGHT,I don't remember. SHUTUP!!!! I need to hear some new vocabulary,my head is exploding.
Is there a chance that in Jodi's email to Travis after the killing, she was setting it up so she would "find" him dead? She was going to move her trip up, and crash at his place. Maybe she was thinking this would explain her DNA and prints at the scene.
hi jodi! what do you think of bradly cooper to play hottie biscotti T-Dog??
How do u think she will react with the sentence?
