Toga, Toga, Toga

Relatively relaxed weekend around these parts.

Looking at my financial situation my amount of rocking the past couple of months, it's sort of time to buckle down.

I've looked into getting a second job, but there isn't much out there. I was supposed to do some concrete work on my days off, but the guy that was supposed to hire me has slowed down immensely.
I have a ton of work to do on my car and bills to pay.

The weekend was fun.
Friday I didn't do much. Saturday was the Cow Pie Classic rugby tournament. It's always a good time. THe rugby boys are all good dudes and have sort of taken the big guy in. Either way watched rugby all day Saturday. Wrote my story and then they have their annual toga party at the coolest summer bar in town.

We decide to go and it's a rip roaring fun time. Despite it taking two people an hour and a half to get ready with their toga's, it was some of the most fun I've had in a long time. I partied all night, ended up going home with some rando's at like 3:30 in the morning and partying a couple more hours before passing out at my buddies.

I have to walk to my car the next morning and there is a huge festival going on in town. Unfortunatley all I have is the sheet from my toga and these little gym shorts. I walk to my car wearing my sheet like a cape. Needless to say, people weren't sure if I was A) retarded B) drunk C) crazy E) the sweetest dude in town.

All in all it was a blast. A real good time.

Sunday I was spent and didn't do much. Monday I went hiking in Spring Creek which is one of my favorite places in Steamboat for a variety of reasons.

Now I'm back at work, tearing stuff up.

Not a ton more to detail. Except for the need to save money/pay off debt. As usual there's usually a little too much fun and a little too less money. Either way I think I've got a plan. Or at least I hope I do.

Amigo Brian from the ATL officially left town on Sunday. Sad to see him go as he was a good buddy. He left for a job and inevitably more women. As he said the situation in Steamboat "isn't natural. Not at all. No man should have to go through that." It was his first experience in the mountains on a full time basis. Either way we should keep in touch with plans of making a UGA game at some point in the near future.

Sports:
The All-Star festivities were OK. Nothing too great, but nothing too bad. Excited for the second half of the season to see who gets Roy Halladay.
Fall football camps open in less than a month. Not sure where I see CU falling, but I could see them winning the North or finishing fourth. All depends on how they start, I suppose. Would love to see 8, 9 or 10 wins. Think there is an outside shot of it.
I think the North breaks down like this. Nebraska, KU, CU and MU all with chances to win it. Not counting out K-State either with Snyder back in town.
As you can tell it's sports purgatory right now. Not a lot happening.
The Tour de France is going on and the bickering between Lance and the other dude Cantador is almost too much. Who gives a rats ass. There should be no teams. It should be the best rider that wins. Of course I want Lance to win or some American but enough of this team crap. Could you imagine golf like that. A team of say Tiger, Anthony Kim, B.J. Holmes and Daly against Phil, Bubba Watson, Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els. Of course Tiger and Phil would be the frontrunners with the rest of their team just trying to mess the other one up so that person didn't win. Daly playing with Phil and coughing in his backswing. Watson yelling NOONAN NOONAN to Tiger on putts.
See it just doesn't work. Teammates should be left to actual team games like football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, horse shoes etc.

Hef of the week
It was hot on Saturday and so had all four windows down on Saturday in my car. My back rear window will now not roll up. No dice, no nothing. Nothing says white trash like a Buffalo Sabres shirt and wife beater covering your back window so your back seats don't get flooded. Impressive. Hopefully I can fix it or have someone (like the old man) do so in the next week.
