Teach Me How To Jimmer!

2011-02-15T23:29:00.003-07:00

No posts in a long time, but my buddies rolled out this tune and I love it and it is definitely worth sharing.

BYU beating Oklahoma

2009-09-08T11:47:00.003-06:00

So the Cougs went down to the new Texas Stadium and beat the Oklahoma Sooners in an amazing matchup. It was a great game to watch, if you were rooting for BYU. in tribute to the Cougars and my unhealthy obsession with them, I wanted to post some highlights of the game and a really cool picture of the stadium that I found online.

Wakeboarding Incident

2009-09-03T09:28:00.001-06:00

So, I really like to wakeboard but I really suck at it. Here is some video evidence to prove it.

Visit From The Boss

2009-08-31T14:18:00.003-06:00

The boss came to visit from California to check up on the Utah office and make sure that everything was running smoothly and by that I mean to make sure that we are all working and doing what we are supposed to. When he arrived I went out to my car to grab some paperwork and I had a little beauty parked next to my killer Chevy Blazer. 2010 SS Camaro, he claims that it was the only care left to rental company had left for him to rent. It is a sweet ride that I thought I would share with everyone else.

Wedding in Georgia

2009-08-19T20:42:00.003-06:00

My brother Lucas recently got married in Georgia. It was the first time in almost 10 years that my 5 brothers and I have all been together at the same time. Although it was 100 degrees with 100% humidity it was a blast and it was great to have Heather join the family.

Smack Down- Where Amazing Happens

2009-05-12T22:05:00.002-06:00

Any one out there that watches the NBA will think that the video below is funny. I have been watching the playoffs this year and it seams like there is a fight every night or some one throwing a cheap shot at someone else. This is definitely worth watching.

Scared of the Swine Flu

2009-05-04T21:54:00.002-06:00

I am blown away everyday at how freaked out people get about the dreaded Swine Flu. Read this article today on CNN about the so called "dangerous" flu. Come on people chill out. CNN report- Swine flu no worse than regular flu

Minds are powerful and I think that we can spook ourselves out more then some flu.

Love this Commercial

2009-04-30T23:22:00.002-06:00

I have to post this commercial, it is my absolute favorite

Kidney Stones again..

2009-03-23T13:08:00.002-06:00

I experienced my first kidney stone last year and I can say without a doubt that it was the worst pain that I had ever experienced in my life. I guess that going through that once was not enough, because I have had 2 more of these beasts over the last 3 weeks. It has been brutal. I feel sorry for anyone that gets one. It is a painful process to have them pass through your system. I did however find a nice home remedy that worked wonders for me in getting these painful buggers out.
A lovely combination of Coca-Cola Classic and Asparagus helped break them up and brought some relief. If anyone happens to have one of these or gets one, go ahead and drink coke and eat asparagus, it helps.

I Really Suck at Blogging

2009-03-19T20:26:00.002-06:00

It has been far to long since I have updated my blog or even posted anything. So here is somewhat of a post.
Life is busy and crazy as ever. Between work, school and family I am left with little to no time at all for much else. I am still working at Bloosky and I love it there. I have learned so much. Megan and Abi are doing as usual and we are all preparing for our trip to Disneyland in a few weeks. Abi is going to be 2 on April 2nd. Time goes way to fast. I am sure that no one checks this blog anymore and I don't blame you but I am dedicated to keeping it up to date with new entries. Even though I have not been posting anything I have been reading all of your blogs.
I thought that I would show everyone how cool Abi is.

It Has Been Fun

2008-11-19T10:35:00.003-07:00

I wanted to say goodbye to all my friends at CirclePix. I have taken a new job with a company in Provo and will be starting with them on Monday the 25th. I have had learned so much working with you all, and I will miss seeing you guys everyday. Not to mention missing out on the foosball and table tennis. I hope that I have everyone's contact information, but if not shoot me a email with it.
For my associates in the Account Management department, I thought that you might enjoy this clip.

ESPN & The Crocodile Hunter

2008-10-03T13:05:00.002-06:00

Anyone that is a sports fan has probably seen the ESPN commercials. They are very funny and almost always have a pro athlete or some one famous in them. I saw this one the other day. I used to watch "The Crocodile Hunter" and this is a great commercial with the crazy Steve Irwin.

Breakdancing Kids-- "priceless"

2008-10-01T12:55:00.002-06:00

I love the mastercard commercials with the "Priceless" slogan attached to them. These 3 kids busting a move is most likely my favorite. Watch i the kid in the middle, he has some serious moves.

New Pictures Will Do

2008-09-30T09:31:00.002-06:00

New posts to Stewy's World have been almost non existent. I hate looking at blogs only to see they are not being updated. I have rededicated myself to keep the blog updated.
Meg has been taking a lot of new photos for MyTinyPrincess.com. The models seen below are Abi, Taylor, Morgan and Kayla. Thanks Davis family for lending us your children.

Needle In the Toe

2008-09-09T09:13:00.003-06:00

I learned a lesson over the last weekend, my wife is tough as nails. Let me run down this quick little story for you.
Last Friday she was walking upstairs in our house and happened to step on something sharp that pricked her toe. She let out a little ouch, but that was it. As time went on she said that it hurt more and more but nothing to be to worried about. After 2 days or so, she had me look at it to see if there was anything that I could see in her toe that would still be causing her pain. I saw nothing and said it is just sour. Well, 4 days later, her toe was swollen and she was in a lot of pain. The next day she was off to the doctor to get it checked out. I told her to call me after her appointment to let me know how it went. When she called, she told me that they removed half of a sewing needle from her foot! I was thinking it would be a small little piece of the tip of the needle, boy was I wrong. Have a look at the pictures below to see what they pulled out of my wife's big toe. WARNING, they are a little graphic. Meg, love you and you are amazing to have this in your toe for 5 days and not complain.

My Brothers on a Yacht

2008-09-03T08:39:00.003-06:00

My brothers and I went out on a 1.5 million dollar yacht while we were in Maryland. It was real nice living the high life for a day.

Football

2008-08-26T08:54:00.002-06:00

College football kicks off this week and I could not be more excited. Nothing like 10 or 12 straight hours of football on the TV come Saturday. I am a BYU Cougar fan and in honor of them getting started this week, I though that I would post my favorite highlight. THis is from 2 years ago. BYU vs Utah. This is great, just watch!

Baltimore and some Crab

2008-08-22T11:27:00.005-06:00

I recently traveled to Baltimore with my family to visit my brother. Maryland is famous for their Crab, so one evening my brother took us down to a restaurant called, The Crab Deck, that was right on the water. It was a really fun and messy evening.

Eating some sweet Crab

Me and little Ben!!

Hotdog's for Lunch

2008-08-12T09:14:00.002-06:00

Some of my work buddies went and met up at J Dogs in Provo. It is a little Hotdog stand right next to BYU. They so happen to sell the greatest dogs in the world. I highly recommend that you try it out when you are in the area.

Walking

2008-08-01T07:37:00.002-06:00

I love that almost all cell phones have a camera. I snapped a pic of my little one, yes she is walking now.

9.6 Billion Miles

2008-07-28T16:54:00.003-06:00

Due to the high price of gasoline, Americans are driving less. I know that I am!
I found this article on CNN, and I found it very interesting.

Drivers shave off nearly 10 billion miles...

I just hope that we see the prices at the pump start to come down.

I want this!!!

2008-07-25T14:05:00.004-06:00

I have been waiting for any type of release date for the new BlackBerry Bold, but there is still nothing out. But I was directed to this video of this sweet phone. So nice.

Some Ping Pong Skills

Click on the logo to see the Blog:

Recently we got a Ping Pong table at work (even started our own association, see image above) and it has been a source of much enjoyment. I thought that I would share some of the skills of myself and the people that I work with. You can also check out the blog.

I started filming and within 10 seconds this happened.

Me and Tim with our mad Table Tennis skills

2008-07-21T11:19:00.002-06:00

As I look through my blog and others that I frequent, I think that it is interesting to see some blogs that have tons of comments left on them and others that have none at all. I guess that I am the type to only comment once in a while on posts that I think that are really interesting. I am wondering if people that are blogging really like comments left on their blog or not, so COMMENT ON THIS POST AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE COMMENTS ON YOUR BLOG OR IF YOU DON'T REALLY CARE AT ALL. I am curious to see what everyone has to say.

Geico is brilliant

2008-07-03T11:10:00.003-06:00

Who ever is in charge of Geico's advertising is brilliant. I feel they constantly have commercials that are funny but also are very memorable. Here is one of my favorites.

I love TV

2008-07-02T09:34:00.005-06:00

I watched the last episode of Friends the other night and was wondering how many people tuned into to watch the series finale. As I was looking for the number of viewers I found some other very interesting information that I found online and in a USA Today report in 2006. (click here to read the entire article)

Top 10 most viewed TV show series finales
click on picture to see large image

I was surprised to see MASH topping the list and blowing all others out of the water!

2006 marked the first time that there were more television sets in a home then people, TV sets per home 2.75, people per household
The average person watches 4 hours and 35 minutes of television a day, that adds up to more then 1500 hours per year
By the age of 20 the average viewer will have seen over 600,000 commercials
The Super Bowl is the most popular broadcast of the year
In 2008, a 30 second advertising slot during the Super Bowl cost $2.7 million
In 2008 the Advertising Age Annual reported the following revenue from the top cable companies. Figures are in billions

1. Time Warner ($6.97)
2. Walt Disney Co. ($6.75)
3. Viacom ($5.51)
4. News Corp. ($3.84)
5. NBC Universal ($2.91)

Needless to say that we watch a lot of TV. After reading the articles that I found, I came to the realization that I need to watch less TV.

Guess who is retiring??

2008-06-27T12:14:00.008-06:00

Today, June 27th, 2008, marks the last official day that Bill Gates will be working at his company Microsoft. Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft is currently the 3rd richest person in the World. Although he is not going to keep his day to day duties he will remain Chairman of Microsoft. His reason for moving away are to spend more time with his charitable foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
I have always been intrigued by what Bill Gates has accomplished. Wouldn't it be nice to be the head of this company and also have the bank roll that he does.

Some interesting facts about Bill Gates and Microsoft

Bill Gates Net Worth- $58 Billion
Microsoft makes a lot of money

His home is worth an estimated $136,617,000, the property taxes alone exceed 1 million per year Click Here for an interactive tour
Microsoft's office building is over 8 million square feet and has over 30,000 employees

Microsoft are the owners of over 10 million square feet of real estate
In 2004 over 90% of computers were running Windows
Bill Gates was named one of the top 100 people that most influenced the 20th Century

I think that it is amazing that Bill Gates brought a product to consumers that has almost become a necessity. So all you or I need to do is create a great product that everyone in the world needs and we can have a monster house, company and bank account.

Top websites in the United States

2008-06-26T10:52:00.002-06:00

Have you ever been surfing the web and though to yourself, "what are the most visited sites online?", if not, I did and I looked it up because I wanted to know. Alexa.com is a website traffic reporting site. They have a list of the top websites in the country and the world. You can even compare sites side by side.
Here are the top 10 websites in the United States as of 6/26/2008. Google and Wikipedia are my favorites.

Trying to do what I intended to do

2008-06-24T10:10:00.002-06:00

I started this blog to post about one of my favorite things to do while online, look up useless information. You know, stupid facts like, how much did they make doing this or that, when was the last time this happened and lots of other information and facts about people places and anything that I find remotely interesting.
My blog did start off that way but quickly became a journal about my family, friends and work. So, I decided that I am taking Stewy's World back to what it was meant to be, what goes through my head and what I find interesting. So I really hope you like what this blog is supposed to be.
You might be reading this question a lot.

Started a new Blog -- GIMP PIMPS

2008-06-17T16:22:00.004-06:00

I have seen lots of blogs out there that are all about things like, image of the day, logo designs, photoshop, cool pictures and videos and lots of other visual items. I find these very interesting and I enjoy reading them. (I mean looking at them)
I decided to do something a little similar, in an very pathetic attempt to be cool. My buddy Doug and I both use a photo editing program called GIMP. We use it all the time for our personal images and some times for work. We decided it would be cool to have a blog that we could display all of the cool stuff that we use GIMP for. So if you are reading this you need to check out the new blog.

Meeting the Simpon's

2008-06-16T16:10:00.004-06:00

Recently while in California I met the biggest celebrities that I have ever met in real life. I met Homer, Lisa and Bart Simpson. I found myself in a so called Springfield. I got to check out Moe's Tavern, the Kwik-E-Mart and the Comic Book shop.

We happen to visit Universal Studios in Hollywood. They have a new Simpson's ride. This new ride is one of the best rides that I have ever been on. It is a 3D ride that makes you feel like you are in Springfield. I highly recommend it to anyone that visits Universal Studios.

BlackBerry BOLD vs. Iphone

2008-06-10T12:50:00.005-06:00

For any electronics lovers out there, you probably heard that Apple announced a new, faster Iphone.
You can read CNN's report of it HERE.
I think that the announcement is misleading due to the fact that even though Apple lowered the price of the Iphone, they bumped the price of the monthly service that comes along with the phone, meaning that the price of the phone is cheaper but over the 2 year period that your contract runs, you end up paying the same price. Nice move.
I must say that I am BlackBerry user and I feel that they have the best phones on the market for business and personal use. BlackBerry last month announced last month that they have a newer faster phone as well, the BlackBerry BOLD. I came across a very interesting comparison of the 2 phones. I thought that I would share this with you all, to help show you why I think that BlackBerry's kick the Iphone's butt.
I also must note that having your emails sent directly to your phone is free with BlackBerry. With the Iphone you must pay an additional monthly fee.

The Need to Post Something!

2008-06-09T17:23:00.002-06:00

I have been on vacation the last week and I almost went crazy with very limited access to the internet. I was amazed at how much I miss Blogger! My intention was to get back today and post my pics from our trip, but I left the camera at home, so I logged on anyway because I just needed to post something. I am sorry for the short and almost pointless post that this is, but I feel so much better that I have put something new on here. I will try to get some pictures of our trip up soon for the 2 of you that read this.
One Interesting tidbit that I found recently is this cool feature on Blogger.
Blogger Play
This is a massive slide show of all the images that were uploaded today from Bloggers out there.

50 GB of FREE online storage

2008-05-14T16:13:00.005-06:00

I can remember the first memory card that I bought was $69.99 for a 512MB SD card. It amazes me to see how much the price for memory storage cards and devices has come down. Just the other day I was shopping at Wal-Mart and they had 2, 2 GB cards on sale for $24.99. I love that these prices continue to drop.
I was looking online the other day for a new memory card and I came across one of the coolest sites that I know of. www.adrive.com gives you 50 GB of online storage for free! No strings attached. Just visit their site and create and account, which only takes a minute or so, then you are ready to upload what ever your heart desires. I have found it very useful to transfer movie and music files off my work computer to my home computer. The site is easy to use and best of all its free.

Doug caught me on his phones video camera acting like a idiot, wearing a girls jacket and dancing like a Leprechaun. I am in the process of extending this video and adding some sweet music, but I thought that I should share what I have.

Man vs. Wild

2008-05-05T10:17:00.005-06:00

While watching TV the other day, I was browsing around through some programs and I noticed that one of my favorite shows was back on the tube. Man vs. Wild, it is on the Discovery channel every Friday night. The show follows survival expert Bear Grylls. The show is all about Bear doing and eating crazy things that will help you survive in what ever wilderness that he happens to be in.
I love the show because he also knows little tips and tricks that I really find useful, even though I go camping once a year and there is no danger at all. Check out the clips below to see what Bear gets himself into.

A lot of money at the Box Office

2008-05-02T11:10:00.004-06:00

I was messing around the other day on IMDB, (Internet Movie Data Base) a really cool website that has the all the info that you would ever need or want about any movie that you can think of, and I came across the All Time Worldwide Box Office list. This list has more then 300 movies on it and it lists them from the highest grossing down. I found it very interesting to see how much money these movies generate and how many of them bring in this kind of money. No wonder there is a new movie out every week. Here is 1-100.

The Jazz and my Wife

2008-04-29T13:16:00.007-06:00

My Problem-
I love the Utah Jazz and I am a huge fan. I am actually a huge fan of basketball in general. I watch every game that I can, and my poor wife has to put up with me wanting to watch all these basketball games. She does not mind that I watch TV, it is the fact that while the Jazz game is on, I zone out and she can not even get the smallest response out of me. She is not a fan of sports, so it is a little bit rude of me to torture her with all the basketball I watch.
My Solution-
I have a friend that is a scalper, or a ticket broker as he likes to be called. I asked him for some tickets to the next playoff game and like the good friend that he is he hooked me up. I wanted to take Megan to a game so she could get the feel of the intensity and atmosphere during a playoff game. We went to the game with some friends and had a blast. At the game they were giving out free t-shirts so that everyone in the arena was wearing white, it was pretty cool. (see photos below) While she is still not a Jazz or basketball fan, I like to think that she has a little bit more of a understanding of why I love the game.

I forgot to bring our camera so I had to use the BlackBerry to snap some photos. Not the best quality, but they will do.

Atmosphere

2008-04-25T13:31:00.005-06:00

Ant (left) Slug (Right)

My favorite music group Atmosphere released their new album this week. I wanted to share my love for this group with the very few of you that read this blog.
Atmosphere is a hip-hop/indie group from Minnesota. (Atmosphere on Wikipedia) They remain underground and that is one of the reasons that I love them. They have a style all their own and I can't say they sound like anyone else. The group consists of Slug and Ant. Ant makes the music and Slug rhymes and sings. You can hear some of their samples here.
Sorry in advance of anyone is offended by the lyrics.
They have been approached by every major music label for a record deal and they keep turning them down. Slug, actually formed his own music label and signs artists that he likes. RhymeSayers

Atmospheres last 2 albums are both my favorite albums of all time.

Atmosphere is coming to Salt Lake City on May 16th at the Venue. I am going if anyone wants to come.

RockBand, SingStar and Friends

2008-04-18T09:44:00.007-06:00

Last year my beautiful wife Megan bought me a PS2 so that I can play Guitar Hero. During the last couple months we have expanded our gaming library. I got RockBand for my birthday, as mentioned in a previous post. We also bought a cool little game called SingStar. (Check out all the cool songs to sing) I am the worst singer in the entire world so I was a little hesitant to purchase the game. The game comes with 2 microphones and you sing along to the songs and you get points for being on pitch and singing the song.
Although I suck at the game it is very fun and even funner when you have a bunch of people playing at the same time. We had our friends to play some RockBand and Singstar. It was a really fun time.

Me and my Bro RussJeff and Leslie Lowry singing (they both have really
good voices and make us all sound bad)

that he was in our group

My first official album design

2008-04-15T09:53:00.005-06:00

I have a couple friends that are getting popular in the local Hip-Hop scene her in Utah. They have been doing shows in Provo and Salt Lake City quite often and they are getting a good fan base.
One of my buddies, Erik Frederikson aka Rapid, asked me to design the artwork for his new album knowing that I mess around with Photoshop but mainly GIMP. (For anyone that does not know what GIMP is, Check it out here. It is a free image manipulation program that has tons of great features.)
Going into the project I though that I was a capable GIMP user but I quickly learned that was not the case. So, for the last 3 or 4 weeks I have been working on the album cover of the CD and the insert artwork for him. It was really fun and also very frustrating for me to do, because so many times there was something that I wanted to do with the image or make it look a certain way and I just could not get it to work. As you can imagine I spent lots of time reading online help guides and watching some video tutorials. These helped me to get the artwork to look the way that I wanted, and I think that it came out quite nice. Erik really liked it and that is all that matters. He released his album on April 14th, 2008. If you happen to like Hip-Hop let me know and I can get you a copy of his album.
I wanted to show off my so called skills for you all.

Cover of- Rapid Development

Again, for anyone looking for a photo editing program, I highly recommend GIMP. It is free and will allow you to make your photos look the way you want.

National Champs!!!!

Jayhawk Love

2008-04-07T10:00:00.004-06:00

The Kansas Jayhawks defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday nigh to move to the championship game tonight against the Memphis Tigers. The Jay hawks destroyed the Tar Heels and I could not have been more happy. I wanted to post some love for them today and I can not wait for tonight when they beat the Tigers.
I also pulled out the old Kansas Jayhawks T-shirt to show my support.
Go Jayhawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anchorman- Big Deal & Afternoon Delight

2008-04-01T08:46:00.002-06:00

Last week I went to California, but before I left I got a 2 gig memory card for my psp so I could load it with movies to watch on the way down. One of the movies that I put on there was Anchorman. I love this movie and wanted to share 2 of my favorite clips.
ENJOY

Huge massive Dog-Horse

2008-03-28T10:44:00.004-06:00

On my way to work there is a home with a few acres behind it and they have a pond with Swans and Ducks, they also have Horses, Pigs and many other little barnyard animals. While passing this home on my way to work one day, I saw the owner of the home walking his dog and it is the biggest dog I have ever seen. I had to do a double take because this dog-horse was so large. I wanted to snap a photo so bad but it was early morning and I did not want the man to think I was some kind of weird freak. You could imagine your out walking your dog and some pulls up beside you and snaps a photo then drives off. Anyway, I went home for lunch the other day and on my way back, guess what I saw??????????
The Dog-Horse and he was standing there all on his own, so I pulled out the Blackberry and snapped the pic. I thought that I would share it here so you can all witness this beast. The picture does not really show how tall this Dog-Horse is, but trust me he is huge!

A Funeral and a road trip

2008-03-24T11:30:00.006-06:00

My four brothers and I drove down to our grandmothers funeral last week. Although it was sad to see her pass away, she lived for 92 years and had a great life. I wanted to share some of the highlights that we had of this wonderful trip. There were 4 of us in a VW Jetta all the way to California so you can imagine we had some fun times.

Me, Zach, Dan, Russ playing horse shoes in my grandmas backyard.

Zach could not handle the car ride. He is not a road warrior.
My brother Dan had to stop and use the restroom every 10 minutes. I had to snap at least one photo.

This is the motel that we stayed at. It was not the worst place in the world to stay but the beds were only doubles and my brothers are not very small. (see image above) So I did not sleep all that well.

Zach on the PSP. We both have them and we played Star Wars Battle Front for many a hour.

This was a picture that my grandma had on her wall at home. I am on the far left, second from the bottom. I am so cool. (My grandma is in the middle with the red dress)

Getting Ready for the Funeral. (Grandma Stewart lived 92 years)
I had to buy myself a sweet travel iron, because our high class motel did not have one.
Hanging out in the backyard at my grandmas house. She had tons of Lemon and Orange trees. We always bet to see who could eat a Lemon. I never could.

I need your help!!!!! I have lots of gift cards to Cinemark

2008-03-18T08:25:00.005-06:00

I have not been to the movie theater in a long time. I actually have not been for over a year. During my hiatus from the cinema, my wife and I have collected a few gift cards to the movie theater. So I need some advice on what to go see because we have over $50 in gift cards and they need to be spent.
Here are a couple that have caught my attention. So if you have seen something that you like. LET ME KNOW.

Rob and Big

2008-03-13T16:50:00.006-06:00

I have to post this. If you have not had the chance to see this TV show, you need to. Check out the info here
Rob and Big is a show on MTV about Rob Dyrdek, a professional skateboarder and Big Black his body guard. They do funny stuff and get into a lot of trouble. It is a must watch. Check out the trailer of the new season.

This is how we can boost the economy

2008-03-13T12:01:00.004-06:00

What a great way to help our economy!

Rock Band

2008-03-11T11:55:00.003-06:00

Yes, it was my birthday on Sunday, and for my birthday my wife gave me a killer gift. ROCK BAND!!!
I have been staying up until 1:00am the last couple of nights rocking out. For anyone that lives in a cave and has never heard of it, it is a game that allows you to play either one or all the following
instruments, Drums, Guitar (bass or electric) or you can sing. It is a very addicting game. We have created and band and we are in the process of becoming true rockers!!!!

Watching a lot of Kramer

2008-03-05T11:44:00.003-07:00

I have been really sick lately and so I have been in bed watching Season 9 of Seinfeld. It is the best season yet. I love it!!!

Mike Tyson's Punch Out

2008-02-27T08:49:00.005-07:00

I was looking for some head phones the other day and I was going through mt closet I cam across my original Nintendo. I started looking through all the games that I still have. I was hoping that I still had my copy of Mike Tyson's Punch Out, but no luck. I started to look for the game online and I came across a very cool site that has every game that you could think of, including Punch Out!
Check it out if you have a favorite game that you want to play again.

Play Mike Tyson's Punch Out

In case you forgot, here are some of the great fighters that you face.

Gotta love Glass Joe!

I found this video of someone beating Mike Tyson. I only played him once and I got trashed. This beats him in like 2 minutes.

Punch Out is one of the greatest games ever made!!!

Can you tell why a man took this picture???

2008-02-25T11:00:00.002-07:00

I am always getting emails from people that are supposed to be funny. Every once in a while they actually are. I got this one the other day and I felt like I must post it for all of you.
The question is can you tell why a man took this picture? This picture was found on eBay, the table was up for sale. Have a good hard look. It will take a minute to tell why. If you can not figure out the answer is at the bottom of this post.

If you can not tell why. Have a look at the reflection in the mirror.

Behind on the photos

2008-02-14T09:39:00.003-07:00

I usually up to date on new electronics that are out there, but for some strange reason my wife and I waited until last summer to buy a digital camera. We both had the old 35mm styles and needless to say neither of us were taking any pictures. After 2 1/2 years of marriage we quickly realized we had no photos and we quickly went out and bought ourselves a nice camera. It is amazing to me how many more pictures you take when there is no limit and you don't have to be choosy. I am getting use to the camera and what it can do. Here are some pics that I have snapped.

Some what of a reunion & NBA JAM

2008-02-06T12:42:00.000-07:00

3 of my good friends are engaged at the moment and there are 5 of us that are already married and the rest of my friends are living the single life. We decided to get together and hang out for some what of a bachelor party. We met at my buddies Toms house. This is no ordinary house. When I walked downstairs, I entered the game room. This room had a Ping-pong table, pool table, projection TV and some killer arcade games , which included NBA JAM, Street Fighter and Double Shot Basketball. The night quickly turned into a NBA JAM tournament.

This is one of the greatest games ever!!

Me and Jeff to the left. Shawn and Tom on the right. Jeff and myself dominated everyone else at the game. We were playing as the Golden State Warriors, and the players were Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin. We are the NBA Jam Champs.

This is a picture of the other Sean and Jason losing to me and Jeff.
Needless to say it was a fun night with all my friends.

Watching Baketball

2008-01-29T09:33:00.000-07:00

I love the Utah Jazz and I watch as many games as I can. Of course in the process of watching all these games my poor wife is left to fend for herself because I get so zoned into the game. To make my Jazz watching a little more family friendly, I am making my little girl Abi a fan of the Jazz as well.
She loves the Jazz so much that she will get in my chair, grab the remote before I even have a chance to turn the game on.

This is us watching the Jazz beat the Spurs.

It is going to be a good season from here on out. Now all I have to do is try to get my wife to like watching basketball and I am set.

Lost season 4 starts in 7 days!!!!

2008-01-24T09:12:00.000-07:00

I love Lost and I can not wait for it start. For those of you who live under a rock and have not seen the show, you need to. I have given Lost the Stewy stamp of approval. Watch it!

I still got game!!

2008-01-22T16:12:00.000-07:00

I got the urge to play some basketball last week, so I gathered up some of my friends and I put a game together. It is important to state here that I have not played for 6 months or so. I have not even worked out or done very much of anything physical in the past 6 months either. I was afraid that my shot would be off or I would not be able jump like I used to. As we started to play, my game quickly returned to me.
Lucky for all of you I set up my camera on a timer and captured some sweet photos of us playing.

I was able to snap a photo of me dunking over my buddy Brian, and NO THESE PHOTOS ARE NOT PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!

While we were playing, there were some people from work that showed up as well as some family and friends.

I was so amazed that my camera was able to capture such clear looking pictures.
I had to change my clothes because some crazy fans (aka hot chics) ripped my uniform.

I ended our morning with a monster dunk. Again I had to change my uniform.

So it turned out to be a good morning and I quickly realized that my game is still as strong as ever.
There is also a open invitation to come and play. Wednesday mornings at 6:30.

Some love for the Packers

2008-01-14T11:44:00.000-07:00

I have to give some love for the Green Bay packers. They put a whoopin on the Seahawks in the frozen tundra.

They also now have home field advantage against the NY Giants this weekend. The Pack is looking good.

Favre has 3 TD passes while Grant stomped for 201 yards. The defense was physical and the corners Harris and Woodson played some shutdown D GO PACK!!!!

Scotch Bonnet- The Pepper from HELL!!!

2008-01-09T11:21:00.000-07:00

SCOTCH BONNET PEPPERS ARE CREATED BY SATAN!!!!!!

A few years back I did one of the stupidest things that I have ever done in my life. I ate a Scotch Bonnet pepper.

If you have never heard of this evil pepper here is some info that I found on it. Remember, I ate one whole. I have highlighted some text that I found interesting.
Check out the text in green

The Scotch Bonnet (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is a variety of chili pepper similar to and of the same species as the habanero. A cultivar of the habanero, it is one of the hottest peppers in the world. Found mainly in the Caribbean islands, it is named for its resemblance to a Scotsman's bonnet. Most Scotch Bonnets have a heat rating of 150,000–325,000 Scoville Units.

These peppers are used to flavor many different dishes and cuisines worldwide. Scotch Bonnet has a flavour distinct from its Habanero cousin. This gives Jerk dishes (pork/chicken) and other Caribbean dishes their unique flavour. Scotch Bonnets are especially used in Caymanian and Jamaican cooking, though they often show up in other Caribbean recipes. Eaten raw, these peppers are also known to cause dizziness, numbness of hands and cheeks, and severe heartburn.

Fresh ripe Scotch Bonnets or Habaneros change from green to colors ranging from pumpkin orange to scarlet red. Ripe peppers are prepared for cooking by cutting out the seeds inside the fruit which can be saved for cultivation and other culinary uses.

Scotch Bonnets look almost identical to a similar pepper called the "seasoning pepper", often eaten whole and raw, but this species has much less spice, and is used for its flavour, not heat. Eating whole, raw scotch bonnet peppers is not advised for those unaccustomed to eating very spicy food.

Here are some pictures of this horrible experience. I was sick for 3 days. I threw up multiple times. I had heart burn and a stomach ache for a week. My lips were bright red and I could not eat spicy food for months. There are some other symptoms that I had but I wont get into them.

Do not eat one of these raw!!!!

My Time In England

2008-01-08T09:19:00.000-07:00

I found some old pictures in the garage a few weeks ago and I wanted to share them with you all.
They are pictures of me and my 2 years in jolly old England. Enjoy. I will do my best to give you a little info on each one of the pictures.

This is where "The Stewside" got started. Elder Miller in the middle gave me that nickname and there you have it.

I was always telling everyone That I was better then them.

These were my homies from Zimbabwe. They were always out in front of there home listening to 50 Cent, In Da Club, over and over again. Every time we went over they were listening to it.

This is Anwick Castle. They filmed a lot of the Harry Potter movies here. This is one of the coolest places that I have ever been.

Me and my buddy acting like idiots in front of our house in Bradford. I think we were trying to be gargoyles. Notice our sweet rides, Vauxhal Corsas, smaller then a Geo Metro.

I thought that this was really funny. Not that I support the Smoking of bush or anything....

Me and John. He never would tell us his last name. I lived in Melthem for 4 months and he never would tell me what it was it drove me crazy.

I don't remember his name he just had really cool hair.

Driving through the City walls of Yorkshire County.

These 2 pics are taken at Scarborough, you know the song by Simon and Garfunkal, Scarborough Fair. It is a really cool place.

Me at Kirkstall Abby in Leeds.

This is a town called Meltham just outside of Halifax.

I thought that you would all enjoy a little taste of Stewy back in the day. I got really fat on my mission so please be nice and don't make to much fun of me.

I love the show about nothing

2007-12-19T15:05:00.000-07:00

I love Christmas for the atmosphere, time off work and of course the killer presents that I get. I was given some great presents. One of those presents was season 9 of Seinfeld. My collection is now complete.

I thought that I would share a couple of my favorite clips from the show.

George is my favorite character. He knows he is a born loser but he he makes it look so funny.
I love when he pretends that he is handicap to get his own bathroom.

Of course I had to add the classic phone message from George

Kramer, when he gets a job in the city when he is not even really employed.

And of course Elaine and her amazing dancing skills.

I love this show and all the characters. There are so many funny clips that I don't have enough time to get them all on here.
I also found some interesting facts about the show.

This is a ratings chart for the last years of the show.

Season	Ranking	Viewership
Four (1992–93)	25	12,754,700^[22]
Five (1993–94)	3	18,274,800^[23]
Six (1994–95)	1	19,652,400^[24]
Seven (1995–96)	2	20,330,800^[25]
Eight (1996–97)	2	19,885,000^[26]
Nine (1997–98)	1	21,266,000^[27]

The show was very popular and that meant a lot of money for Jerry. I pulled this from Forbes magazine.
Jerry Seinfeld's annual earning from the show in 1998 was $267 million, making him the highest-earning celebrity that year.

Seinfeld still generates more revenue than most current shows, through syndication. He reportedly turned down $5 million per episode, for 22 episodes, to continue the show beyond its final season.^[12] In 2006, he earned $60 million from syndication deals and stand-up appearances.

I wish that Jerry would have taken the 5 million a show for a final year. I would love to see another 22 episodes.

Now that I have all 9 seasons my life feels a little more complete. I now have all 180 episodes that I can watch when I want. It was a good Christmas.

This clip is the first episode that I ever watched. Got me hooked.

Christmas Vacation

2007-12-11T09:47:00.001-07:00

I love Christmas and
one of my favorite movies is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation starring Chevy Chase.

(If you have not seen this movie then you need to drop everything that you are doing and go watch it)

While watching this movie on Sunday night, their was a comment made about how funny the name Chevy was. So I started to find some info using my trusty Blackberry. I found this info quite interesting.
-Chevy Chases real name is Cornelius Crane Chase
-Chevy was part of the SNL cast for only 1 1/2 years, due to constant fighting with the cast, namely John Belushi and Lorne Michaels.

-He got into a fist fight with Bill Murray backstage during a taping of SNL. He made a comment about Bill Murray's face looking like craters on the moon.
-Christmas Vacation was #1 at the box office and grossed over 71 million dollars.
-The movie also made over 34 million in rental profits

One of the greatest characters in all of movie history is Cousin Eddie. If any one out there happens to know where I can find a hat like this please let me know.

My favorite quote from Cousin Eddie-

Stupid facts about my favorite Christmas Movie.

Here it goes, this is my first official blog.
I was asked the other day at work if I was a blogger. I was not at the time so I answered with a quick no. That response was met with quick replies of, "we will convert you" and "you will be soon". So here it is, Welcome to Stewies world. I will do my best to keep it up to date with cool new pics, stories and of course tons of useless information.

While on a sales trip to San Francisco with my work traveling buddy, Douglas Long, we paused for a moment to snap a quick photo.
