One of those weekends

It's been one of those weekends.
Yup, one of those.

Highly stressful, and highly messful (not sure if that's a word).

Regardless. Let's start with the negatives my friends.
My stomach has been really bothering me, so I went to the doctor. They're not sure what it is, but gave me some stuff and said check back in a couple weeks. They ran a bunch of tests and still weren't sure. So I got that going for me.
Then my dad's family is battling for money. Not sure how I got involved and to be honest I don't care who gets what. But that's been a headache.
My parents hate each other. Literally they do and they always expect me to choose a side. Recently it's gotten out of hand and I'm sick of it.
And the real kicker, old hombre Semsack, Sammy the Duck, Sam etc. apparently tried to kill himself late Saturday/early Sunday. Suicide's always an interesting thing, that nobody can really explain. I think at one point, everyone has thought of it. Semsack's was due to his old lady ending things recently. What makes it tough was I talked to the kid for a while on Thursday night. Sure he seemed a little down and hurt by the latest transgressions, but I felt I helped him clear some stuff up. We left the conversation laughing and calling his ex some horrible, horrible things.
He's in the hospital now and they're not sure if the dude's going to make it. He's in a coma, so it's sort of wait and see. I mean I was never best friends with him, but had been keeping in touch for a while. Plus I grew up with the kid.
The one thing he could always, always do was make you smile. He just had an innate ability to make people laugh. Whether it was busting his own chops or what, the kid always made me smile. Heck just last year, I went to a wedding with my ex and we met up with Semsack and his old lady and El Caballo for lunch. He was a good dude. Here's hoping the kid pulls through, so he can keep making people smile.

Now that we're through that bullshit, let's move onto more exciting and happy things. Despite being stressed out, there should be some relief in the next couple of weeks.
I'll be playing golf this weekend with the old man, then in a tournament here in Steamboat next week.
My golf game is like dating a bi polar (or any girl really). The last time I played my game was very up and down. Three holes were good, three were bad, three were good, three were really bad etc. That's the way it went. I went from looking like a seasoned vet, to never having played the game in a matter of just one hole.
Yesterday I hit the range and hit the ball really, really well. I'm going to go again today, and will presumably hit the ball really really bad.

After that, there's a trip to the beach planned. It's going to be awesome. Several days of perfect weather and absolutley nothing to look down on.

Not a lot else happened over the weekend. Old friend Collins was in town and we got to it a couple of nights. Went to Ms. B's birthday party on Friday at her place. Made sure it was drama free and enjoyed myself, before returning to town.
Am going to try and keep it a little more low-key this week/weekend. I've been rocking pretty hard the last three weeks and it's catching up with me. Plus I have to be full-go for the beach here in a couple weeks.

Onto sports.
Good to see the Nuggets lay down like a beaten puppy. Really, that was the best effort they could put forward? It'll be interesting to see how far they can go next year. This year they had no expectations, even when the playoffs started. the minute they had expectations (i.e. when everybody picked them in the Lakers series) they rolled over. Next season they need a better backup point guard (dude I love is Johnny Flynn from Syracuse, but doubt he'll be around when they select). Also think Gay-Mart and Bird Man might be gone. Both deals are up, but I suppose I could see them both coming back. Gay-Mart with the Veterans exception and Bird Man to a friendly deal.

Good to see the Rockies finally fire Hurdle. It was time. Whenever you're somewhere for too long, you become complacent. Jim Tracy — ehh. Hopefully he's out at the end of the year and Da Rox bring in my longtime favorite, Donny Baseball (Don Mattingly for those who don't know). I was discussing it at work today with this guy and we were both in agreement that you watch the Rockies and just know they're going to lose.
I can't remember the last time I watched the Rockies and was like "man, we're going to win." This year, it certainly hasn't happened. I wouldn't be surprised to see them end up with one of — if not the — worst record in baseball. Just the way things happen.

Another thing to note of. There isn't a worse thing to happen then when the NBA and NHL wrap up the playoffs. It's like sports purgatory. There's nothing on — I'm not watching college softball. It's like I'm stuck in a flux where I am not sure what to do. Just count down the days until football season starts. Ugh.

HEF of the WEEK
Many to note of, one that juts out.
Taking a shower and the water is just a little cold. Not much, but not to the level I like. So I am tapping the temperature do-diddle little by little. For some reason, I decide to swat the shit out of it after a few attempts. This fires the temp from a little cold to, way, way, way, way too hot. Water hits me in the back, burns me, I put my hands forward to get out of the way. Well I put my hands on the shower curtain, fall completely out, bust my dumb cococut on the toilet and fall completely naked to the bathroom floor. Embarassing. Luckily I was again showering alone.

Until next time, keep them heads up.
