cooling problem from hell, part duex!

son of a F%&@*&# b&%#*, the damn thing overheated again today, i drove the crap out of it for the last couple days and it was perfect, even drove it all the way out here to school fine, but drove it today and it went up again, it was fine until i beat on it and then it cooled down again so its a little different, could my radiator be clogged from draining it and filling it a few times lately? its the factory radiator so thats what im thinking, im confused because the temp said about 210 and the radiator was barely warm until i shut the engine off then it started to heat up and then got really hot, what the hell is going on?
