Blog Entry 10 of 12 a BRAD influence
Im a recent graduate from CU and I wish I had never graduated. Most of my friends moved to Denver but I am terrified of the city cause of the smells and the monsters. Expect to read about really random things on my blog. Usually the focus will be around things I like, such as sports, music /entertainment, bubble baths, burritos, Coke Zero (the diet coke for the Y chromosome) and short walks on the beach or in the rain.

Home is where the 'porn' lives?
Contributed by: Bradley Paugh   on 1/30/2008

I open an email from sister and in the contents of said email lies a link to someone's or something's Myspace page.The page turns out to be for an Adult Entertainment Magazine titled Main Stage. I can't figure out why she has sent this to me.

Has my sister decided to play for the other team?

Have times gotten so financially bad for my med-school sister that she had to get some questionable photos taken of herself? Why would she send this? I wouldn't wanna know or see that.

Maybe someone I went to high school posed? I would wanna know and definitely see that!

I go back and read the email again to see if I passed over any pertinent information and it appears that I have. I missed the directions informing me to look at all the pictures the magazine has put on their profile to see if I find a certain house in the photos familiar.

Holy Childhood!!!

The house in a photo titled Main Stage Mansion, is our childhood home!

As I scroll through the rest of the pictures I am fascinated by the changes that have been made to my home. Two fire pits have replaced the flowers that were in the backyard where I used to catch bees and torture them. All the walls have been painted different colors and of course there is now a stripper pole where the couch used to be in the family room.

I decided to befriend Main Stage Magazine on Myspace. I also added a message informing them that I grew up in their so-called mansion (really not that big of a house) and find it bizarre to see a stripper pole where I use to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings. The geniuses wrote me back, "What do you mean you grew up in our house?"

I sent out an email to all my old friends with the pictures of the new house and I am sure you can guess how the emails varied. The guys all wrote back similar messages, something like, "Awesome Dude, think you can get me into a party!" The girls all write, "Oh, that's so sad... did your mom cry?" and one wrote, "Eww! I know that bald guy in the pic that owns the magazine. He tried to pick me up at the bar."

I am not sure how I feel about it. On one hand I don't give a hoot, and I am kind of interested if my room as some sort of sexual fantasy theme. On the other hand, I did spend years 4 to 18 of my life in that house. My hand prints from when I was 4 are imprinted in the cement on that driveway. I learned how to swim in that pool, and drive in the cul-de-sac.

You know what! Screw those basturds. They crapped on my memories like the ducks from the man-made lake in the back crapped all over the backyard and in the pool.

The party doesn't even look that fun. I had more people at my high school shindigs!

Seriously Joe! Please comment on all the blogs I post in the future or the rest of the ones that I have already posted. I love having a hater and since I did not play fantasy football I am seriously overdue for some online trash talking.

Joe McElligott has commented on my last three blogs and we have learned three things about him. 1. He wants Chuck Norris to do something to our butts. 2. He likes to poop in dirty bathroom bars. 3. He has a bit of a problem with Boulder yet visits the Local Boulder Yourhub site frequently. Boulder Envy?

Who are you trying to impress when you say "It wasn't that big..." about your old house. I don't like to generalize and I apologize for insulting some of the good people of Boulder, but you are what gives that great city a bad name. By the way-are you a guy or a girl?

That's a beautiful home! And a sweet story. The best I got is that after my childhood cabin was gutted and renovated to be about three times bigger, Oprah owned it for a time.
