April showers have turned to May flowers which withered in the July heat, turned brown in August, got racked up in September, and finally was taken out to the trash in November along with some old Halloween candy and left-over turkey....http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~399750.aspx12/3/2007 3:43:09 PMRyan Hatch One of the most famous catch phrases from all the '80s action movies would have to come from 1987's Robocop. Any former teenage boy from that era will usually whisper out the phrase under their breath "I'd buy that for a dollar!" as a snide comment to his buddy as an attractive female passes t...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~295292.aspx4/16/2007 3:46:11 PMRyan Hatch They say you should never meet your heroes. For that upon getting their acquaintance they will surly disappoint you. All the expectations in the world that have built up over years of worship will come crashing down in your self-diluted little world the day your idols don't live up to your pr...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Film/Blog~254404.aspx2/22/2007 4:50:01 PMRyan Hatch The other day I was driving past my old gym and it conjured up memories that I had repressed for a long time. Those memories were like a laundry list in my head for all the reasons I had stopped going to the gym - even if my money still does. I have always loved working out. Yep, there isn't an...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~176615.aspx1/29/2007 5:03:12 PMRyan Hatch Shhhhhh, I'll let you in on a dirty little secret. Sometimes, I call in to work when I'm not sick. Yep, you heard it here. I am one of many American employees who use sick time for things other than lying in bed with a cold or flu. Is it something I'm proud of? Not particularly. Is it someth...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~173884.aspx1/22/2007 4:57:37 PMRyan Hatch Of all the months of the year, January has got to be the biggest party pooper. Just like that one friend who shows up after the party and reminds you how long it's going to take to clean up the mess so too does January rear it's ugly head once every year. Almost every month of the year has som...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~165800.aspx1/2/2007 10:22:33 AMRyan Hatch Never again, I think. Never, will I shove so much fatty nastiness down my craw again, as I stare disgustingly at the strewn out remains of my dinner. Like dead soldiers they lay there, the cheese burger wrappers, an empty fry carton, and a dry 32 oz cup of what once contained soda. They are ca...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~148764.aspx11/9/2006 10:48:24 PMRyan Hatch There I am - standing in the store or staring brainwashed into the computer screen at that one thing suddenly I feel I can't live without. Usually it is a completely irrational want, certainly not a need. But there it is no doubt ... that longing in my gut that says if I don't purchase a 20th Ann...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Personal-Finance/Blog~141284.aspx10/23/2006 4:54:26 PMRyan Hatch On any given weekday morning or afternoon you'll find me there - sitting, staring mindlessly ahead. At a close look it would seem that I am somewhere else. My blank stare could read as a clean blackboard to my soul... Perhaps I am on a tropical island making love on an exotic beach, flying a glid...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~134527.aspx10/7/2006 12:24:11 AMRyan Hatch Do you ever have those moments when you are sitting in the car, or having dinner and suddenly you remember a moment from your life that embarrasses you so much that it actually makes your stomach knot up and you cringe like you just got an electric shock on your lower front tooth? Man, this h...http://denver.yourhub.com/Thornton/Blogs/Archive/Blog~134380.aspx10/6/2006 3:22:47 PMRyan Hatch
