It’s 2010


| 3 Responses

You heard me. Granted it’s been 2010 for close to a month now and for the most part is exactly the same as 2009…and 2008 for that matter. It’s still cold, hockey continues to control my life, and the night life in Grande Prairie still continues to be the same thing…the Aquarium getting one to many beverages induced into their system resulting in an abundance of good times. The good news is that spring is slowly creeping towards us, it almost feels like I was just starting this whole epic hockey winter but looking at the schedule shows only another month or two left. I got thinking the other day just what the hell I would do once the season was over and it was quite clear…find a place to live.

The Aquarium Need a Place To Live

I and a couple other sea beasts need a place to live

That’s right a new adventure is upon us. I spent the better part of 8 years living in Edmonton in a condo I owned living with a handful of different roomates and now I am inching closer to moving back into Grande Prairie…the same place I said I would never move back to almost 8 years ago. Not at all surprising considering this is where the majority of people I know live again, even people met in Edmonton for some reason pop up here…not at all sure why.

Regardless I need living accommodations

We will start with the most obvious. It has to be a house, it has to be at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bath, and most important above all it has to have a stripper pole…just kidding (or am I), actually it cant be a scuzz hole. By scuzz hole I mean somewhere that has rocks in the basement, can barely fit 3 people, or has duct tape keeping something held together. With that said we’re looking for an actual house, not a duplex, split level, townhouse etc…a HOUSE! Why? Well because I don’t think our neighbors are going to enjoy the music, company, guitar playing, and at the very least high intensity Rock Band jamming.

The sad thing is I had thought I found the perfect place not merely more then 2 hours of looking but it was to good to be true, the house appeared to only be on the market for a day (at the most). 2 living rooms, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a great backyard with fireplace, and a theater room to top it off. A perfect place for a measly $1200 a month. WHY!!! Personally I place all blame on Zimz and Stilly.

It would be a bonus

Finding a place with a hot tub. I know the bills would increase dramatically but considering the big challenge it is to try and lure the unsuspecting female back to your place having a hot tube would really increase those odds I’m sure. There is nothing better after a hard night of hockey or beer drinking then a 2am soak.

I suppose one way to look at it from my perspective is suppose we had a hot tub, that would mean 2 am soaks almost every weekend I’m sure resulting in either someone catching a disease from scuzzy water or us getting kicked out due to 27 noise complaints each weekend. Again I would blame Zimz and Stilly.

Find Us a place and

I’ll buy you a big bear for your troubles. Better yet if you wanna sell me a fantastic new house for 20 bucks I’ll name my first born child after you. We’re kind of in a rush though because RBK Robinson is coming.

In the meantime

I’ll begin preparation on updating hotstickybun. I usually do this once a year but was quite content on leaving this website for awhile as it seemed to really sky rocket in popularity the last year and a half. I’ve went from nearly topping out at 10,000 a month down to 2,000 and now I’m once again climbing back up to that mark. As much as I hate to admit it I attest much of that success is to the two writers who survived longer then two months I originally gave them. Shockingly enough Zimz post “Athletes You Love To Hate” has topped 1300 views for the month. Congratulations Zimz, you’re officially a blogging hero nerd.

Needless to say I’m still looking to improve on this website as it is something that needs to be pushed over the 10,000 views a month limit. Obviously more videos and pictures are going to be added and I’m always looking for aspiring writers to help out with the cause. With that said more highlight will be given to those other two fluffs as I’ve been slacking with some things (like the ability to look at their old posts!).

Input needed

With that said I’m only one man with one brain (albeit a very large one) but this website needs some more POW and by POW I mean more content. It’s been heavily discussed about having some trailer be put together for a show, nothing spectacular just a 10-15 minute ep here and there. Had I been thinking about this it would have been the perfect season to follow both hockey teams with all the drama and concerns following both clubs. Next year I suppose.

We will be pushing a show out once we move into our new place but it really focuses on just that. What we need are ideas. My opinion is if the people in Whistler can have a show entitled “Peak Season” the people involved in this side project are more then capable of putting on a worthwhile production.

What else would you like to see? Enter in some comments below If someone gives me a acceptable project for this website I will give you free Edmonton Oiler tickets to a select home game of my choosing! I know that’s not much incentive with the shittyness that is the Oilers but it’s a start.

Look Out For It

The new website should be launched before the spring of 2010 and it promises to be a bigger improvement on what’s running now. A lot of the same features will be seen but more content and a new look will take it well into the next year.

I know what you’re all thinking…”Why are you redoing it again Walks”

Well assholes it’s because that’s what web designers do…

Till next time let’s keep those comments coming

The Grand Daddy, godfather, greybush, manatee, etc of Hotstickybun Walks has been writing, designing, and re-designing this website for over 5 years in hopes of one day finding someone gullible enough to purchase it for over a million dollars so he can move to Mexico and live on a beach sipping margaritas all day.

    Hey buddy. Thx for the shoutout. I guess its time for me to step my game up to compete with sea bass. Some things I would like to see:
    1. poll question every week (monday) on important issues in the topic of your choice. have a vote then it shows percentages of each answer. something to look forward to every work week
    2. meet the crew section – like older versions of the bun, have a bio page for each blogger makin fun of us all…yet quite detailed
    3. HSB dictionary – explanation of words/phrases/quotes we commonly use…obviously for the newer reader…if me, u and zimm could add stuff we could create our own language
    and of course….more vids of robinson bein a shitshow and a dad

    Dually noted! I know many outsiders would enjoy the HSB Dictionary because half of the time they have no idea what the fuck we are talking about. IE: Soak, Fluff, bonjourno, arrividerci,

    I had a poll way back in the early days and there wasn’t enough user interaction at the time. I dont know if it would suffer the same fate as the likes of you, Lips, Zimz, The Big Show, and I are the only ones who overly ever comment on things. The key to building this thing is encouraging more user interaction, for example Ill put everyone in a random draw that comments on a post about the Oilers for Oilers tickets. I’m sure that would tickle some fancies.

    Other then that videos and pictures will be a given, I still have hours of footage from our Edmonton trip that should be uploaded I just have to watch what I put up. I’m planning on doing something creative and ultimately when we move into our new place that will be the test drive to see if I can do it.

    I have recently become addicted to reading the posts of you three gong shows. I fully agree with Kolby. Even I do not understand half of the garbage that comes out of your mouths and therefore a dictionary of alll of your crazy words would come in quite handy. Can’t believe I’m admitting it, but once again Kolby proves to have come up with a great idea. The bios would be a pretty good read I’m sure. I think you should start pumpin out some teaser episodes for your show right now though. Get ur show goin now would generate some interest for the gong show to come with more than a couple aquarium members dwelling in the same home… And!! A video joke a week. Really enjoyed Zimms joke from ur etown trip.
