Fourth of July

Another wild weekend.

Let's see how it breaks down. Thursday night partied with some people for work. Ms. B and my roomey Matt had a friend in town. Thursday we played drinking games and went to bed late.

Friday had to work at 9 a.m. and was absolutely positively hurting.
Friday had bought the old man tickets to Kid Rock in Greeley. So I drive to Denver. Get there and then head up to Greeley. We spent some time at the carnival before going to the concert.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but Kid Rock puts on one hell of a show. It was two hours of a ton of fun. Really was impressed.

One thing that was weird and I'd never seen before happened to be a sign language lady on the side of the stage. It was sort of funny to watch her sign the lines "big titty ho" but completely enjoyable.

Saturday we get back and I had to work.
Get done with work and start to rock out. Watch the fireworks with several foriegn girls (shut down again) before heading back to Gee's.
End up getting a little wild.
Sunday, floated the river and rocked out.

Ended up breaking my phone on Sunday. Someone stepped on it and well now I have a phone that is one step up from Zach Morris'. I guess as long as it works.

This week I'm back at work and totally wishing I wasn't.

Either way I can't seem to get on track this week with my mind wandering. I've got a lot on my mind, from some things I did over the weekend to trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life. Regardless it's made me an insomniac.

Going to a wedding this weekend, and am hoping to go down and see Lurch in a bit. Going to see Semsack as well. Sounds like he's doing 100 times better. He's even talking a little bit and they have him up moving. Still no telling if there will be long term affects, but at least he's doing much better.

Not sold on the whole media infatuation with Michael Jackson. Was he a talent? Absolutely. One of the greatest artists of the last 50 years. But it's sort of odd he's made out to be this huge hero, when years ago he was getting torn apart for being a child molester. Shouldn't those questions still being brought up. Didn't he pay $20 million to a boys family to settle out of court. Wasn't he a little bit loony.
Suppose it's more a sign of the times we have. If you're a celebrity, your life can be wripped apart and then immortalized.
Plus I can't get sold on holding a child molester in such a glowing light.


Onto sports:
The Rockies continue to impress. Despite dropping two of three to Arizona (should have swept) they're right in the thick of things.
They need another arm in the pen. Let's hope they can get it done or promote from within. Either way it would complete the team.
The NBA free agency period has started and some big moves were made.
Love the Celtics picking up Rasheed Wallace. That's the best defensive forward line in the NBA now. And for all of Wallace's transgressions, he's one of the smartest players in the league.
The Lakers adding Ron Artest is going to work out. He's a better Trevor Ariza and will allow for Kobe to not have to guard the opposing teams best guard.
Shaq to the Cav's. Not totally sold on this one. I mean the one thing Big Z could do was draw defenders out of the lane. Shaq can't do that. Plus I'm not totally sure LeBron and Shaq will totally get along.
Vince Carter to the Magic. The question comes down to who you like more? Carte or Hedo Turkgolou. I think I like Hedo better in that lineup, but Carter can still bring it. I think he'll be good in Orlando.
Richard Jefferson to the Spurs. This is the best move of them all. Jefferson gives the Spurs athleticism and outside punch they need. He's a more athletic and younger Mike Finley.
So after the dust settles here's how I see the top six in the NBA
1. Lakers — Artest is the best move
2. Celtics — Can they all stay healthy?
3. Spurs — Love the Jefferson move and I think Duncan bounces back big.
3b. Magic — Still got them a smidge above the Cav's.
4. Nug's — love the Ty Lawson pick up. They still have work to do, but could easily get in the top three discussion. See what they do to close out free agency.
5. Cav's — Still not sold on that team. They need another shooter. Not sure how much an aging Shaq helps.

College football camps are a month away. All I know is I'm pumped. Real pumped.

Hef of the Week
Woooooo. There are a lot. Too lazy to recount.
