Pushups - I'm still on my quest to 100 pushups. I've added crunches / situps back into my routine. More than my scrawny arms, I'm really unhappy with my gut, er stomach. I lost a LOT of muscle as a result of my injury a couple of years ago (you don't know, I might have had a lot of muscle then), and it just never came back. My stomach and arms atrophied the most, so I'm really on a quest to get them back into decent shape. I pushed out 66 pushups tonight (in 4 sets.) Not too bad, my initial test to see how many I could do was only 14 just less than 2 weeks ago. In a single set now, I can run off about 26.
DNC - I started to watch the DNC tonight, but then I saw James Carville on and that was enough. I got in all of 13 seconds of the convention, that's enough. Bring back rythmic gymnastics from Beijing please.
Enjoy your week. Work hard, you have a nice 3 day weekend coming your way as a reward!

1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely,
The Dog

Wednesday, March 05, 2008Rachael - She's Craaaaaazy
I have no idea how I managed to run across this website. It was a link off of a link off of a link on some page on the Internet somewhere (Thanks Al Gore). Anyway, you need some time to read the entire page, but man, this broad is whacko. If you ever think your relationship is bad, you gotta read this. He's also got a blog, http://thingsrachaelandiargueabout.blogspot.com, but it looks like it isn't complete as the other link.
I'm not sure what the dynamic of their relationship really was. I do get an impression that he may had lead her on a bit. At one point, he mentions how he moved into a 2 bedroom apartment AFTER she moved out. Regardless, this chick is OUT THERE. Here's an excerpt: Rachael (7:18:59 PM): soooo how come i'm like 25 on your myspace now? did i do something ?Me (7:18:59 PM): OH Me (7:19:00 PM): nope Me (7:19:03 PM): remember they're all random Rachael (7:19:25 PM): they were random now they are changed Rachael (7:20:11 PM): that makes them not random anymore Tuesday, March 04, 2008To Caucus or to Primary
Man, I'm sitting here watching election coverage (yes, that makes me old and boring, I can't help it), and I'm CONFUSED (shut up). I had to figure out what the difference between a caucus and a primary was. I don't remember caucuses before, maybe I never really paid attention, not sure. Anyway, thanks to the power of the Internet, I'm only mildly less confused than before. Here's the most easily understood definition (at least for me):
From http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art16013.asp The two main ways of assigning delegates are primaries and caucuses. A primary is simply an election that allows voters to go to the polls and cast their ballot for a candidate, thus determining their percentage of the state's delegates. A caucus is a state convention that provides a public place for party members to gather, hear speeches, and vote for delegates to represent candidates at the national convention. Some states only allow voters to participate in their party's primary while other states have no party restrictions and allow voters to participate in any one primary they choose. I hope you feel more enlightened. Information you NEED to know
Don't pretend like you don't care.
WrestleMania 25 is slated to take place in Houston, Texas at the Reliant Stadium -- home of the NFL's Houston Texans -- which holds a capacity of 71,500 for football games, and should hold far more for wrestling.

Yeah, he's an idiot. This is the worst idea I've ever heard of.
Thanks to my uncle (career military) for sending this on to me. Friday, February 29, 2008Thursday, February 28, 2008Stupid Robbers
Greatness...
(CNN) -- Two masked and machete-wielding men who barged into a club in Sydney, Australia, couldn't have picked a worse night for their robbery -- a monthly meeting of bikers. About 50 burly bikers fought back with tables and chairs -- pretty much anything that wasn't bolted down. One would-be robber was tied up; the other in the hospital. Police arrested both. "These guys were absolutely dumb as bricks," Jerry Vancornewal, leader of the bikers, told CNN Thursday. "I can't believe they saw all the bikes parked up front and they were so stupid that they walked past in." Vancornewal and his buddies were at the Regents Park Sporting and Community Club in Sydney when the two men wearing ski masks stormed in Wednesday night. They yelled at patrons to drop to the floor as they emptied cash registers at the bar. Hearing the commotion from an adjacent room, Vancornewal and his pals with the Southern Cross Cruiser motorcycle club stomped through to the bar area to intervene. "They (the robbers) thought they had the upper advantage with their knives and their machetes," Jim Webb, night supervisor of the club, told CNN. "They didn't expect to run into a bunch of guys carrying chairs and tables." One of the would-be robbers crashed through a plate-glass door and jumped off a balcony. "All he had to do was push the button and it automatically opened," Webb quipped. New South Wales police said they arrested the 20-year-old man a short distance away. The second man made a break for it through the club's service entrance, but the bikers tackled him near a neighbor's fence. "We just grabbed him, crash-tackled him to the ground, hogtied him with electrical wire and left him for the cops," Vancornewal said. Police confirmed in a statement that club patrons subdued the second man until officers arrived, but did not provide additional details. The suspect turned out to be a 16-year-old boy. Both would-be robbers were charged with attempted armed robbery and "face disguised with intent to commit indictable offense," police said.A third person, who was waiting in a get away car, took off when the bikers threw pieces of furniture at him, Webb said. Police have not located him. The Regents Park Sporting and Community Club is a place where locals come to enjoy drinks and take part in various games: cricket, soccer, lawn bowling. The biking enthusiasts meet there once a month to plan rides and other club activities. In the last year or so, criminals have struck the club about 10 times, Webb said. And Wednesday night's incident, while unusual, wasn't the most memorable. "We have these old bingo players and they are really serious about their games," Webb explained. "They do not like to be interrupted." When robbers barged in one evening and announced that they were holding up the place, the players turned around and testily told them to be quiet. "They were making it difficult for the players to hear the numbers being called," Webb said.

Anyone remember those "workout" videos that Showtime used to have in the 80's? They were the favorites of many an adolecent teen male. SNL spoofed those videos a while back. Enjoy the video.
Tuesday, February 19, 2008HUGE NEWSWell...to me it's huge. My new all time favorite show, Arrested Development, is apparently going to be made into a movie (at least according to Kristin from E! Online). This is huge.

My dad used to ask us that, EVERY DAY, and it drove me and my sister nuts (remember that Jamie?). Didn't come to dinner with something you learned today? Fine - get up and use those 1000lb encyclopedias my parents bought during the summer of 1970 and find something to learn. I HATED that, but once again, I'm FORCED to admit my parents were right. I absolutely hate admitting when I'm wrong, but it is what it is, I was wrong, we should strive to learn something new every day. I posted a blog on my corporate website today as a result of a conversation I had with one of my customers today. If I learn nothing else today, it will be patience. I've included that blog for your reading enjoyment.
Now, go learn something today! -------------------------------------------- What did you learn today? As delivery managers, we have a responsibility to wisely use the time and money provided by the local church to implement Fellowship One. We are called to help empower the church to more efficiently bring people to the table of the Lord. I often view myself as an educator (amongst other things). I am here to help people understand how to use Fellowship One in their unique environment, and use the wonderful technology we posses to empower the local church. Sometimes people embrace this, other times it can be more confrontational to get people to leave the comforts of their current church management system and learn something new in the name of progress. It requires people to leave their comfort zone and make themselves vulnerable, not many people like leaving anywhere comfortable. The delivery team at Fellowship Technologies is an evolving team. There was a day and time where we were all cowboys (and cowgirls), roaming the countryside, going from church to church, each doing our own thing as we best saw fit. Those days are long behind us, and it hasn’t been a painless road, I must confess. But I can tell you that the changes we have made have been for the best. Without a structured process and product (being the service we deliver), we would lose our departmental and corporate identity. We now produce a better, more standardized product, and hopefully a more efficient process, leaving us more time to deal with process change within the church itself. In order for this to work, people must be open to change, and if necessary, the pain that goes along with it. I have been delivering the Fellowship One product to churches now for over 2.5 years and I have learned so much during my tenure. I have realized that, yes, I am a teacher to many, but those many are also teachers to me. EVERY church I work with teaches me something. It’s that something that everyone in my team brings to the table at regular intervals to help us produce a better, more refined product, making better and better use of the church’s time and money. Without you teaching us about you and what you do, we become stagnant and stale and the product no longer evolves. Each delivery manager learning something new puts us in a vulnerable place. We have to ask ourselves if what we did before was the best way to do things. If the answer is no, we have to admit we could have done things better and continue to work hard to discover where we fall down. We do this all in the name of helping you, the local church; more efficiently bring people to Christ. If I don’t learn at least one thing new during the implementation with a church, I feel I have failed the church, myself, and my future clients (even if it means learning how to be patient!) I encourage all to make a conscious attempt to learn something daily that will help you tomorrow and the rest of your days. And please never stop being a teacher. We’re a team, and we NEED each other to help make the team successful. Basketball Video
Here's Dillon's latest basketball game. He doesn't get much ball handling time, but he actually does execute pretty well setting up screens and such. Rather than let you listen to obnoxious basketball moms yelling "GET THE REBOUND", I decided to put it to music. Enjoy!
Monday, February 11, 2008Sunday, February 10, 2008Vince Gill is YOUR new favorite personSo, I'm patiently watching the grammys, waiting for Amy nuthouse to perform, when Vince Gill gets an award for country album of the year. Ringo Starr gives him the award and Vince says, "I just got an award from a Beatle". Then pauses, looks over at Kanye West and says, "Have you had THAT happen yet, Kanye?" I sure hope Vince doesn't get shot now... Other Grammy news - Herbie Hancock busted out on the piano to Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. That is one of my all time favorite songs, and to see Mr. Future Shock himself perform it was awesome. And finally, Dude, I need this t-shirt.  Aunt Glenda's birthday videoThis is obviously about a little girl named Glenda Faye. She just had her 21st birthday and her 29 year old son, Shaun, put this video together for her. I have to post it here because Youtube won't let me. Their limit is 10 minutes, this one goes for 12+. Sorry for the delay in posting. Soon I'll post the video of Dillon cutting a rug while at the party. Thursday, February 07, 2008He insured WHAT?Tom Jones insured his chest hair this week for $7 million. Well, $7 doesn't buy what it did a couple of years ago, I know, but still, $7 mm is a LOT of chest hair. So, all you clowns who tell me I should manscape my chest, FORGET IT. I'm not doing it until I get some handsome reward for it, like Tom would should he happen to lose his man fur.  And from the files of "People who should be insured from stupidity". Carrot Top. This dude is Bizarre (that's bizarre with a capital B). Looking at this guy just makes me want to do a few things. 1. Get as much plastic surgery as I can get a loan to pay for. 2. NOT work out 3. Wear my clothes from high school. Apparently the bigger you get, your clothes continue to fit. 4. Get a perm  Tuesday, February 05, 2008Tom Brady is an idiot
Yeah, you heard it. I'm a little slow blogging about the Super Bowl, but let me tell you, I'm elated to see that A-hole Brady (and Randy Moss) lose. I was pulling for New York, but I was pretty much ambivilent about the whole thing. That is, until yesterday when Brady and Moss announce that they're pulling out of the Pro-Bowl. The Patriots say they backed out because of ankle injuries (both of them), but I don't believe it. Poor sports don't even begin to describe them. Leaving the sidelines before the game is over, backing out of the Pro-Bowl. I hope they have a year like the Saints next year. Jerks.
Think I have the flu, maybe that has something to do with my rant... Monday, February 04, 2008Saturday, February 02, 2008And the answer is...It's the on / off switch for the Air Conditioner. Want to be comfortable? No problem...pony up a quarter or two and we'll take care of you.  Entertainment Last night I went see a musical act that plays some of my favorite music. Ever heard of The Bellamy Brothers? We went to Billy Bob's Texas to see them play. Show was good, but they sure do play like they're in their 60's. Not a lot of movement on stage. Music was great though. They have a new gospel album out and they played a song about their "drug problem". Talked about when they were kids they were drug to school, drug to church, drug to the woodshed when they misbehaved. And if more people had a "drug problem", the world would be a better place. I agree. I wonder if they're republicans??? They also had this guitar player who was straight out of 1984. Sleeveless T-shirt, long permed hair, cargo / parachute pants, and a headband. He looked like he just walked off the set of the Olivia Newton-John Physical video. After the show we made our traditional stop for post-concert taquitos at Whataburger. Politics I found a cool website today. Glassbooth.org asks you some questions and then tells you which presidential candidate most aligns with your viewpoints. No surprise came up that I was a conservative (after all, it's just like gun control (reference to my comments on the local Fox affilliate in Nashville)). The candidates most align with me in this order: -Huckabee - 75% -Romney - 74% - McCain - 72% Go take the test and see how you do. Off to Dillon's basketball game in a little while. Have a good weekend. Enjoy the Super Bowl. I'll be wearing my Saints jersey. GEAUX SAINTS!!!
Wednesday, January 30, 2008How do you waste your time?
Well, if it's Wednesday night, I waste my time watching The Moment of Truth. Seriously, we need the SAG writers to be done with their strike so I don't have to watch this crap anymore. The cliffhanger question on tonights episode, asked of a beauty queen, was, "Have you ever sabotaged another pageant contestant?" I can't wait to find out. Actually, if a good rerun of Seinfeld, or Raymond is on, I'll watch that instead. Actually, I'll watch ANYTHING as long as it's not that Bret Michaels show.
Other time wasters:
Call for guesses. OK, I posted a picture a couple of days ago of this mystery box that takes quarters on a wall at the American Legion hall in Louisiana. I'm not posting the answer until some of you actually take a guess and let me know you were here. C'mon, it's a game, let's all play TOGETHER. Forgot what it looks like? No problem, it looks like this:
Monday, January 28, 2008Family Reunions
So, I had the fortunate experience of getting to visit with nearly every cousin I have on both sides of my parents families this weekend. It was my grandmother's 21st birthday on Saturday, so I loaded up the kids (sans Suzanne, she was ill), and headed down the road 6.5 hours to Lafayette, La. We had a good time drinking 10oz beers (some preferred 1/2 gallon jugs of wine, but that person will remain anonymous), sharing lies, and remembering the good old times. Meme made an incredible shrimp stew and fried shrimp. Saturday was a recovery day for the first 1/2 of the day, and then we had po' boys for lunch.
To view all the pictures I took - visit the January '08 Guidry Reunion photo album I have on Photobucket
All this fun family activity got me thinking of what my top 10 favorite things about visiting Louisiana. They are: 10 - Drive across town in under 15 minutes 9 - Watch people get mad who have do drive an entire 15 minutes to get across town 8 - Drink beer out of 10 oz cans, but pay the 12 oz price for them 7 - Peruse old photo albums that show my underwear hanging out of my shorts 6 - Make a "pallate" for the kids 5 - Park in the front yard 4 - Go barefoot and no one cares 3 - Go ahead, have a dirty white t-shirt 2 - Louisiana cooking 1 - Catching up with family / friends I've got some movies and other reports from the weekend coming up. It was a really fun time. In other awesome news, my IT guy has had my laptop for a couple of days. I'm going get it in about an hour, but what's awesome is that it will NOT have Vista on it, it's going to have XP. I'm completly pumped. Vista has a couple of cool utilities on it that I'd like to use, but with Vista continually crashing on me, I rarely have access to those cool utilities anyway. Thursday, January 24, 2008We LOVE to Fly
So, I got a nice letter in the mail from American Airlines today. They wanted to tell me how important I am to them and how I shouldn't have to be inconvenienced by their delayed flight crew (reason my flight was so late). They gave me 3,000 miles for my troubles. Now, for frequent flyers, you know it's all about the miles and the perks. I'm more than happy to take miles from AA anytime they want to give them to me. 3,000 miles is good, but not as good as the 5,000 I got the time my plane caught on fire.
On to Vista...today marks the 4th crash of my Vista OS in 2 months. If I only had Windows NT back, I could be productive again. I've probably lost a minimum of 40 hours of productivity in the last 2 months due to this POS operating system. Post your frustrations if you've had similar encounters. I've posted a link to Bad Vista for you, so you can have company in your Vista misery. Or, you can always hang out here and we can bash it together.  Alright kids - I'm out for the weekend. Enjoy yourselves while I'm "enjoying" the arctic blast of '08 here in North Texas. Wednesday, January 23, 2008Show me your pastWell...I'm not so proud (and apparently, neither is my uncle who dressed his his 8 year old in a Pabst Blue Ribbon shirt). The black and white picture is my sister and I in 1975. This proves that puberty kills cute people.
This is, from left to right, my sister, my cousin Ashley, my brother Josh, my cousin Joey, and uh...me (pre-mullet)   Tuesday, January 22, 2008What a weekend
Well...I had a church that needed assistance over the weekend. So...I took a trip to Chicago to go see them. I got there and it was...well...what's a word for REALLY COLD? Well...There are many, but the bottom line is, -7 degrees just sucks. When I left it had warmed up like 29 degrees to about 22 degrees. It was snowing, and overall, was just miserable.
But things got better when I got a phone call from American Airlines to tell me my 8:15PM flight on Monday had been delayed to 9:30PM. Not feeling confident that I'd get out that night, I decided to chance it and head to O'Hare. While sitting in an airport bar, documenting my trip, I get another phone call from American, letting me know my flight had been delayed again, this time to 11:30PM. Loving life, I finally get on the plane. I got upgraded to first class, which was nice, but I just wanted to sleep, and they weren't serving a meal anyway. The guy sitting next to me was a complete prick. I needed to get up at one point and use the bathroom, here's how the exchange went: ME - "Excuse me, do you mind letting me out to use the bathroom?" JERK - "I guess I don't really have a choice now, do I" ME - "Actually, you do, but you made the right choice by letting me out" Then, he spent the rest of the flight singing. SINGING. Pretty annoying. I concluded my awesome evening by stopping at Whataburger at 3:00AM to pick up a taquito. I love flight delays... Other Stuff My friends over at List of the Day continue to put out quality blogs. Some of their archives are awesome, especially this one on Glamour Shots gone bad. It's a must see. Continuing a Lewis tradition, Dillon shaved for the first time, in 3rd grade. He was so excited. Now Kylie wants to shave. I'm waiting for her to grab a razor and go for it. If you know Kylie, you know she will, it's just a matter of time. I'll have bleeding legs or fingers soon, I'm sure. Family is finally healthy. I'm a mess as the dry arctic tundra air in Chicago has really torn my sinuses up. Heading to Louisiana this weekend. Should be a good visit. It's my grandmothers birthday and all of her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids will be there. I don't remember the last time that happened, and don't anticipate it will happen again anytime soon. Peace out Thursday, January 17, 2008My band photo is better than yours. Seriously, these are some of the worst band photos you'll ever see. Brought to you by spinner.com. 20 Worst Band Photos Other news:
Dats it - Stay Classy San Diego! Wednesday, January 16, 2008Did you ever know that you're my hero???First off, I HAVE to tell you about the new website I found. This is absolutely the best site for your personal surfing pleasure. I recommend TOTALLY that you check this out. MOST stuff is safe for work. When my kids grow up, I sure hope they don't act like this, because I will be in jail if they do...
I'm in Chicago this weekend, so, I thought I'd pull up the weather. THAT was a good idea.  Tuesday, January 15, 2008Jeff, you there? How's things? What's been going on?
Yes, I'm here, and things are going well, thanks for asking. What's been going on? Well...quite a bit, quite a bit of nothing. Here's the skinny...
Our last record "Lion The Girl" has been nominated by a local fanzine, 'LA Record' as one of the best albums released in LA in '07. If you agree, you can vote for us here- www.larecord.com and then click on- "L.A. RECORD READER POLL: 2007 LOS ANGELES ALBUMS." She's also in a commercial. She's the one with the drumsticks. Catch it at http://target.com/onestar. Take it easy. I'll be in Chicago startin on Saturday. Nice to pick JANUARY to visit UP NORTH. Oh well... Thursday, January 03, 2008Dude, what's going on?
Glad you asked. Let's look back at 2007 (in no particular order)
- Got my halo off 3 days before the end of the year, spent the next 3 months in rehab. - Took up golf - Started travelling again. Made several trips over the course of the year to Chicago, Denver, Daytona, Memphis, Shreveport, and Brooklyn. - Sold the motorcycle - Threw my dad a retirement party - Turned 19 - Got a Wii - Dillon turned 9 (one more year and he's an "adult"), Kylie turned 5 - Went to Disney World (who'd a thunk) - Started making videos on the internet What a great segway. I've put a couple of other videos out. One of Kylie singing Hannah Montana, and one of our new years party a few days ago. You guys have a good week(end). Wednesday, January 02, 2008Logan
I rarely post stuff like this. But sometimes things just touch you and you want to share. This video is about a 13 year old kid, Logan, who was sad for having to put down a calf that was just born on the family farm...
