MANITOU SPRINGS, CO -- Steve "ColoradoGuy" Garufi admitted that he has been struggling with anxiety for the past few days over the fear of "screwing up" his brand new dark red sweater in its first wash.

The newly purchased "Walmart sweater" has been worn "a few times" according to Steve, and although it is clear that it needs to be washed before being worn again, Steve worries the article of clothing will somehow lose its nice fit upon being washed.

"Well why don't you just read the tag on the back and follow directions?" questioned a local friend.

Despite directions that clearly state: "Machine Wash Cold Seperately - Gentle Cycle - Tumble Dry Low", Steve still feels unnerved and insists that with his rotten bachelor luck he'll "do something stupid" and mess up his new sweater. He even hinted that he might lose his emotional equilibrium if anything bad should happen.

"I put up with a lot of crap and drama and erratic people on my forums, but let me tell you, if I screw up this sweater, I'm going to be an emotional blob for days on the Friendship Board." contended Steve, who was wearing the same bright red fleece when he gave an attractive Starbucks employee a ColoradoGuy business card.

Today, Steve kept his sweater out of his laundry and chose to do nothing with it until further notice. The article of clothing now lays on his "counseling love seat" in his bedroom.

"I'm hoping to get an epiphany until I figure out what to do." said Steve.

The Internet personality's clothing have come under close public scrutiny in the past few years, including articles about his old shoes (that had holes in them), a rip in his shorts, an oatmeal stain on his tie-dye shirt and a public criticizing of his general wardrobe.
