Why? Because we had some seriously cool rock and roll. Whether it was Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest), Hair Metal (Poison, Ratt), Somewhere In Between Metal (Scorpions, Motley Crue),or various bands that I ca...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~568455.aspx1/14/2009 5:03:13 PMPatrick BunnGreetings and Happy Holidays all of you Your Hub addicts. Its been awhile since I have had the chance to spew forth some mind numbing thoughts, so I thought I would take this chance to reflect on 2008. This would be my list of the best and worst things of 2008. You might disagree, and if you do, ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~562359.aspx12/26/2008 5:55:41 PMPatrick BunnIts been awhile since the Uniblogger Manifesto has reared its ugly head, but I thought it was time to let loose with some random musings for a June afternoon. As usual, if you have any feedback on any of this stuff, feel free to drop a line and let me know. It sill wont make a difference, but I w...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~485578.aspx6/18/2008 4:29:47 PMPatrick BunnIndiana Jones and the Curse of the Diamond Encrusted Belt Buckle That Was Stolen From The Original Bullriding Champion Of Death.....or whatever it was called.

In our city, state and nation, some things have come and gone and been pretty much removed from our brains, if not our history. I sit ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~468362.aspx5/9/2008 5:43:15 PMPatrick BunnIt's probably been a dozen years since I met Nate. If I remember correctly it was a karaoke night out at the old Cherry Bomb night club in Lakewood. We used to go down there, get our drink on and sing our brains out. Actually, back then, my friends used to sing their brains out. I hadn't really f...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~464597.aspx5/1/2008 1:29:19 PMPatrick BunnHow the world we live in ended up like this? Nothing makes sense to me anymore. Maybe I am just jaded, because I grew up in a world where Saturday morning cartoons were not Japanese imports that involved talking blobs and furry creatures that happen to be black-belts in karate. But as I sit at my...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~451177.aspx4/3/2008 4:17:15 PMPatrick Bunna time for good wishes and prayers. Bill Prather , a better man than myself, let us know that he was deploying to Iraq to help with a fight that he believes strongly in. He is going to be away from his family, dealing with horrors that most of us couldn't, and wouldn't, dream of. As I read his...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~412585.aspx1/8/2008 1:05:50 PMPatrick BunnFirst off, I would like to wish all of you a happy 2008. I realize that I haven't posted for 2 months, but that was due to my inpatient treatment for a Level 5 Peanut Buster Parfait addiction. I have been clean and chocolate syrup-free for 51 days. My support group is my bathroom mirror, and the ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~410409.aspx1/2/2008 4:57:40 PMPatrick BunnSince I have been writing for YourHub.com , I have delved into the fascinating worlds of advice columns, historical retrospectives and mind-numbing rants. I would like to go ahead and broaden my horizons, and delve into the wonderful world of non-science-based football prognostication. Sure, a...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Sports/National-World-Sports/Blog~384610.aspx10/29/2007 6:43:01 PMPatrick BunnThe previous Manifesto was so cathartic and therapeutic, I thought I would drop some more random thoughts, observances, and rants here on the fine pages of Yourhub. As usual, if you enjoy this stuff, feel free to drop a line and say so. If you don't, feel free to let me know. I promise I will thi...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~375649.aspx10/10/2007 8:02:15 PMPatrick BunnOkay, so it's been a month and a half since my last blog. Things have been a little crazy, and I haven't gotten around to entertaining the masses lately, so I thought I would just throw you all a bone until I get a chance to do some serious writing. That being said, here are a bunch of random tho...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~353571.aspx8/27/2007 3:53:39 PMPatrick BunnBud Light presents, Real Men of Genius...... This goes out to you, Mr. Beer Pong Referee Guy: You have taken what was once a beloved pastime at fraternities, lounges, and really bad AA meetings, and turned into an organized event, complete with personal fouls, suspensions, and mandatory s...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~333760.aspx7/12/2007 11:20:34 AMPatrick BunnI filled up my car with gas today.Forty-eight bucks. It cost me $1.25 to buy a bottle of Diet Caffeine Free Vanilla Cherry Pomegranate Pepsi. Some genius on a Vespa scooter cut me off and had the audacity to give me an obscene hand gesture when I cranked on the horn for a half mile. Seriously, if...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~325468.aspx6/22/2007 1:41:38 PMPatrick BunnOkay, so I've gotten through with my therapy from the last Ask An Idiot column, so I thought it might be time to impart some more wisdom on the masses. As always, these are real questions from real people. Do not pass judgement on them for their questions, that's my job. Also, if you have any pro...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~321211.aspx6/13/2007 6:37:40 PMPatrick BunnI guess it's my fault, really. I never realized the immense amount of pressure that comes with being a semi-famous online journalist for an online newspaper that gets printed once a week maybe. I didn't really understand how my writings would touch people in such a profound way that if I didn't w...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~319077.aspx6/8/2007 1:39:16 PMPatrick BunnSince my last entry, when I decided to start my own advice column, I have been inundated with questions. Some great, some not so great, and some that defy explanation. However, since this is my first step down the yellow brick road to becoming America's next great massively overpaid advice column...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~314569.aspx5/29/2007 10:18:16 AMPatrick BunnFirst off, let me say how amazed I am at how many people actually read these rambling diatribes of mine. I have gotten some great feedback, heard from people I haven't talked to in years, and have had a thoroughly good time writing them. I have also been forced to answer some seriously goofy ques...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~311721.aspx5/22/2007 10:05:38 AMPatrick BunnEvery now and then, I have an idea that is so unbelievably brilliant, I feel the need to share it with the masses. That is usually about the time that I find out the idea was only brilliant to me. In this case, however, I think I might have had a stroke of genius (after hearing this idea, you may...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~309541.aspx5/16/2007 5:33:40 PMPatrick BunnRemember on Happy Days when the Fonz would talk about taking Pinkie Tuscadero, or Betty Jo Bialoski, or the Fratelli Sisters to Inspiration Point? Even as a 10 year old, I knew they weren't going there to do homework. In Arvada, we used to have our own Inspiration Point. Actually, it wasn't reall...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~308826.aspx5/15/2007 4:24:48 PMPatrick BunnWatching Arvada change over the last 10 years or so has been kind of rough on me. The new additions have been okay, but sometimes I miss the things that have gone away. The Cottage Inn that used to be on 72nd and Sheridan has made way for the new Megalomart. The Cottage was a great place. I remem...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~303667.aspx5/3/2007 4:00:29 PMPatrick BunnWinnie Cooper. Kevin Arnold's dream girl on The Wonder Years .

It was nice to see that people in this world still have a sense of humor. Today, its time to talk about a couple of things I miss from Arvada of old. Before I get started, here is a brief word from our sponsor. ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Arvada/Blogs/Archive/Blog~297041.aspx4/19/2007 2:14:06 PMPatrick BunnGrowing up in Arvada, I was cursed with the greatest twin brother in history.
