Tres Anos

Today marks the three year anniversary of my first trek to Steamboat. Actually realized this last night while at the bar. It was like 12:41 and I saw that it was July 24.
Suppose it was sort of fitting. Did a shot in celebration and kind of started to go into thought about the last three years.
Sometimes the years seem like they've gone really fast. Some parts have. Some parts haven't.

Been some interesting times I guess here in Steamboat. Somehow I always catch myself in drama. I bring some of it on myself and some of it just seems to follow me.
This time it had to do with a my friends Erin and Rob. They were going camping and I didn't want to go because it was essentially couples weekend and they fight all the time. I told Erin this and she flipped.
A couple nights later I have a crying girl with me at the bar. Cleared some stuff up, but it wasn't really the way I wanted to spend my night. I'm horrible when girls start to cry. I don't deal real well in those situations. Usually try to make a joke and it doesn't turn out well.

Some other minor things, but nothing worth noting.

I've been in a good mood of late (not so much today as I'm piss ass tired). But other than that things have been relatively good.

Covered some interesting stuff this week. Made a sweet video to go with one of my stories. Work's been good and pretty laid back lately.

Gee's old lady left Steamboat for Atlanta. Feel bad for the guy because I know how much he liked her. She was a totally sweet girl. Probably one of the nicest people I've ever met.

It was sort of a weird week in that it was her last week here and Gee's best friend was here. I went out with his buddy a couple of times, so I'm pretty exhausted this week.

On the plus side I did meet this smoking hot Czech Republic chick through Gee's old lady. She's shy as can be and her English isn't great, but neither is mine and usually when I put my foot in my mouth she doesn't understand.

Hoping to get to Denver a couple times in the next month. Miss the city. Plus have some peeps I need to get down there and see.

El Caballo will be making his return trip to Colorado. Nice, but he won't give me the dates and I think he probably will just want to hang with the Geenis. Asshole.

The old man pulled through again. He called me earlier and said he got me a ticket to see ZZ Top and Aerosmith next weekend. Good work old man.
Have watched Fight Club like six times in the last two weeks. I forgot how much I dig that movie and book. Didn't like the movie the first time, but each time it grows on me to the point I really do like it. Was wondering if that could happen to me. Could I get Tyler Durdened. Split personalities. It's interesting to think of.
Plus if they made a movie who would play my Edward Norton side and who would play my Brad Pitt side? I'm thinking Seth Rogen plays my Edward Norton. Maybe Michael Chiklas. How about Pauly Shore. No. My Brad Pitt side would be played by Jesse James or someone totally sweet.


SPorts:
Rockies are on a roll, but it has to continue with the Giants in town tonight. Sweep them. That's all I ask for. Still need help in the bullpen. Got Betancourt via trade and called up Chacin. Sounds like they could call up another arm as well. Hopefully they'll solidify the bullpen soon enough and they can chase down the Dodgers.
Good to see Matt Holliday go to the Cardinals. He'll hit there and they'll love him. Good move by the Cards as well.
Hopefully Doc Halladay gets traded. Would love to see him in the playoffs with someone.
How about Mark Buerle. THe best thing about him is he gets the ball and goes. He doens't take his pretty little time. Love that.

College football is getting closer. That's a good thing. Love college football like I love food. Simply cannot wait for camps to open.


Hef of the week
Will go with the anti-hef first. Did a story on an X Games medalist. he was out training and all these kids wanted his autograph. I had a notebook so I was giving out paper. This kid, about 10, comes up asks for some paper. I oblige and then he goes "are you his body guard?" I throat punched the kid and told him to back up. Not really.

Real hef of the week.
A pretty Hef free couple of weeks for sure. The universe is a little upside down I guess. Who knows.
