Happy Birthday LewisShow!

In typical fashion I realize several days after the fact that my blog has been around now for 2 years. I'll never forget that first night, signing up. Gene was visiting and he had his computer. We were hooked into the DSL and having a good time picking on each other and enjoying recreational activities. Something just told me I should start a blog and document the events of my life. I've always wanted something that I can look back on, something I can smile at through the good times and the bad. The second year of The Lewis Show saw many ups and downs. Most of the downs started right away. Kat and I moved to Richmond with high hopes and aspirations. I was hell bent to make sure she got her college education so that she could have a job, a career that she would enjoy. We moved into a crap part of town, we both had trouble finding work, and making ends meet. Through the months we grew more and more apart. After trying in vain to fix this broken machine of a marriage we said our...

The Pope is My Co Pilot

After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb. "Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver," Would you please take your seat so we can leave?" "Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a Cardinal and I'd really like to drive today." "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! And "what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning. "Who's going to tell? Besides, there might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope with a smile. Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, The Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 Mph. (Re...

I'm Alive!

I promise! Not a lot has been going on worthy of blogging, so I thought I'd drop in a few plans. I'm going to see Clerks 2 either tonight or Wednesday night. Janine and I are itching to see that flick. I hope it's ok, the critics are hating it so far. In September she's taking me to Vegas! She is attending a convention over there through her school and I'm very excited for her. I'm really looking forward to catching a show and hitting the casinos. We're gonna be hittin' it gangsta' style, yo. The days are few, very few until I'm driving, until then, my cat has the car...driving around town. Beware, Richmond, she is full of road rage!

More Chuck Norris!

There is no "I" in team. There is an I in Chuck Norris. Fuck you, team. Crop circles are Chuck Norris' way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie the fuck down. In fine print at on the last page of the Guiness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone has ever come to matching him. When Chuck Norris goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket. On his birthday, Chuck Norris randomly selects one lucky child to be roundhouse kicked into the sun. Chuck Norris is not lactose intolerant, he just refuses to put up with lactose's shit. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live. Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer ...

More Recappage

It seems all I ever do is recap events, lately, but with little else on my mind..it keeps the Lewis Show runnin'. I had a great time last week. Janine and I went to see the Richmond Braves play. I haven't been there since 1992 at least. The stadium still looks the same. There was probably the biggest crowd I've ever seen at one of those games too. Most people were really there for the fireworks though. At least the Braves won! Yay. The fireworks were nothing short of amazing! I don't think I've ever been to a real fireworks show. I usually just park somewhere close to a ballpark or something to watch them from a distance. I know there had to have been 20 minutes of non stop colors and sounds and explosions. The ballpark did an excellent job. The rest of my week was pretty much uneventful. I had a short week at work, which was mostly disastrous, but I think most of my problems were fixed...at least I hope so. I just cant express how lucky I am to have so many coo...

I Love 4 Day Weekends

It's so nice not being at work today. I'm recharging my batteries and getting some much needed rest. I really haven't had too much to post about, so I'm going to recap my weekend thus far just to keep something out there. I had such a good time yesterday. Janine and I went to see Superman at the IMAX theater here in town. It was a pretty decent movie. It was nothing spectacular, but none of the Superman movies are ever really that amazing. The effects were amazing! Watching it on that giant screen was quite a strain on the neck, but very much worth it. I told Janine we will never have any kind of TV/screen on our ceiling. The museam closed pretty much after the movie let out, but we got to explore a few things there. We're going to have to go back sometime. We did get to see the whole sugar exhibit which is pretty scary stuff. Sugar is everywhere! I then took Janine to dinner at Cracker Barrel. That's the place I took her when we started to go steady. We spent s...

The Lewis Show gets Political

Image
Slashdot | NSA Had Domestic Call Monitoring Before 9/11? STRATEGERY!! I don't often show my political hand on my blog, but when I was pulling my newsfeeds this morning I couldn't resist. First I am in no way in bed with this Bush guy in office, nor am I an apologist, but I think he's gotten a bad rap on something: According to this article our friends at the National Security Administration have been data basing domestic phone calls and to some extent web queries for some time before September 11. I find this noteworthy because it seems that people are so dead set that our current President is so hungry to deprive Americans of all their freedoms they seem to forget that this massive government machine had this in the works long before he assumed office. I do agree with most of the comments from Slashdot readers that the current adminstration had a convienient excuse to expand these wiretaps and raids into our own personal lives, but give me a break. It's not just a Bus...
