"There is no such thing as girlie push ups."
Maria Bee says, "There is no such thing as girlie push ups." I certainly hope so. The 100 Push-Up Challenge is gonna make a believer out of me. By the end of the seven weeks, I hope that I can crank out some push ups like Maria.

Music for Acapcolist #1 Can't Get Any Harder DJ Rehab
I need some motivational music for Acapcolist #1 - Fabulous Arms. I have chosen Can't Get Any Harder DJ Rehab by none other than - DJ Rehab. It is a hip-hop mix (play below or download here) that has an amazing track list from - De la Soul to Pink to Lil Wayne to The Doors. It's like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates ... you don't know what you are going to get next! I like the frequency of the songs changes when doing push-up sets.
Warning: It has some rough/bad/vulgar language in a few places. It is a hip-hop mix after all.

SMH. The Birth of My Acapcolist Quest
During a drive to the library, I started thinking about what I wanted to accomplish for the summer. Being that this is the first week of summer and all. Just as I was about to turn off the car, Nickelback's song, If Today Were Your Last Day (from their Dark Horse album), started playing on the radio (see the music video on YouTube.com). I started shaking my head, recalling my reaction to the "Save the Date/Return of Christ" campaign. In case you need a refresher, read The Daily News post by Kevin Modesti - Billboards across the Valley trumpet Judgment Day.
Sadly, the sum of my reaction was essentially zero. On May 21, 2011 at 5:00 pm, I was sitting on a porch with my dad. If you'll recall, the drama was to start at 6:00 pm that day. It hit me that I hadn't prepared for the start of the end. Although I didn't believe the hype, I realized that I wasn't quite as prepared for the world's downfall if it was true.
According to Harold Camping and his Family Radio show, Judgement Day was to be on October 21, 2011. Right around the corner. I shrugged off the notion and I suggested that we go get a margarita. I actually ended up watching TV Land reruns with my mom because the trip to the restaurant was too much effort. <big sigh>
Guy Kawasaki and Steven Pressfield should have smacked my palms with rulers! Did I learn nothing from reading The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything and The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles?
For Petey's sake and my own, I need to get right and ready in more ways than one! After recently watching 2012 and The Bucket List, I ready to commit to a program.
Stay tuned ...

Dug Up: My Favorite Wife vs, The Parent Trap
YouTuber, Countrygirltori24 helped me out big time with this one! In My Favorite Wife, Nick Arden (Cary Grant) does a crazy lean to catch a glance of his long lost wife as the elevator doors close. I immediately thought, "Haven't I seen that gag before?" Yep. In The Parent Trap.
Be sure to check out Countrygirltori24's upload explanation for more details.

"Oh, you Casanova, you."
Suite C is my favorite scene in the movie. Nick Arden discovers that his wife is alive while on his honeymoon. He rents Suite C for the "old" Mrs Arden so that they can talk things over. "Old" Mrs. Arden gives him a hard time about his new marriage and how he intends to break the news of her return to the "new" Mrs. Arden (in Suite B).

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is 25 years old today!
"Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
Check out MSN's Wonderwall "then & now" photo gallery and explanation of the cast. I vote "OMG."

Home Movie Advice from Robert Benchley
Robert Benchley's vintage movie short, Home Movies, can also be found under Special Features on Turner Home Entertainment's DVD release (June 1, 2004) of My Favorite Wife starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.
I had never heard of Robert Benchley until watching this short. I was surprised to find that he was a noted humorist (he wrote essays, newspaper writings, and drama criticism) in addition to being a film actor.
"It took me 15 years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous." - Robert BenchleyCheck out Wikipedia's write up on Benchley.
Have you read or watched any of Benchley's other works? Any suggestions?
