After being gone the last two weekends, I've returned to take back over my duties as the Cblog Weekend Recapper. Besides being absent from my recap duties, I've also been absent from the site, thanks in part to a lot of time I've been spending playing games and writing reviews for Gamer Limit. I hope to make an effort this week to actually get back to writing some Cblogs of my own. You should probably expect the first one tomorrow, as I'm already in the process of writing it.

So I hope everyone had a great weekend, because I sure did. First of all, my two main sports team kicked some major ass this weekend. My North Carolina State Wolfpack beat Pittsburgh in an intense football battle on Saturday, 38 to 31. The today, my San Diego Chargers beat the Miami Dolphins, as Philip Rivers threw for 303 yards. My arch rival, the UNC Tar Heels, also lost a crucial game to Georgia Tech, so that also added to my great weekend.

Another reason this weekend was great was because my girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary by going on our first ever horse trail ride together. It was essentially the first time I've ever been on a horse, so it was a brand new experience for me. My girlfriend, on the other hand, owns a horse and has been riding for almost 20 years. As long as we've dated she has always wanted to go riding together, so today we finally did. I have to admit I was pretty damn scared, especially since it has rained the last 2 days, so the ground was saturated and really muddy. I got through it ok though, and had an absolutely great time.

For everyone's viewing pleasure, I included a picture of me from today on the horse I rode. Check it out below. Now let's get to those weekend recaps shall we.
