Have some class on Independence Day
[image error]The whole purpose of Independence Day is to celebrate that long, long ago we decided that being Brits wasn't our thing any more.
Whether I agree with that decision or not is mostly irrelevant since we can't change it now - but the point is that the country said, "to heck with rules and regulations made by someone across the pond, we want to do it our own way."
The problem with that is some people have gone too far.

It's not rain, it's smog
Take a look at the radar map for the Sacramento area today:

Now usually when you look at a radar map and see green, you're thinking, "Oh wonderful! We're getting some much needed (or rather desperately needed) rain showers today!". Your thinking would be wrong in this case. What you're seeing here is the reflectivity - or in more plain words - a big stinking brown pile of smog in the air because it's hotter than the blazes of places that have hot blazes!

Michael Jackson - The King of Pop
[image error]I have written many things about Michael Jackson over the years, even including him in the dedication to one of my books.
He changed the face of the entertainment industry in uncountable ways - and then spent the rest of his life being slowly crucified.
I will always remember roller skating to the Thriller video, and I remember when it premiered and they showed the whole video at Sportsworld skating rink in Raleigh, NC.
It’s a sad thought that just as he was about to reclaim some of that greatness,

Heath Issues Statement on GLAAD Issuing Statement on Perez Hilton’s Apology For Using Anti-Gay Slur
[image error]Sacramento, CA, June 26, 2009 - GLAAD wrote a blog post yesterday about Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton writing a blog post on PerezHilton.com where he stated that he was “sorry” and “the ‘F’ word will never be uttered from my lips again.”
“It is moderately interesting yet not-newsworthy that GLAAD recognized that that Perez Hilton apologized to the GLBT community for his use of anti-gay slurs,” said Heath Buckmaster, citizen and member of the community who did not care enough to want or need an a

The Paper Towel Insanity Continues
This is starting to feel like a continuing saga…
Remember when I talked about going insane the other day? It was all because of a bathroom experience wherein I decided to have a conversation with a paper towel dispenser. I realize that by revealing this information I may have completely lost credibility with most sane people out there, but stay with me for a moment - because I’m not the only one.
When I posted that note along with the sound effect clip, I didn’t realize how much wide-spread covera

This is what Pride has become…
[image error]Over the weekend Sacramento celebrated its annual Gay Pride. But you wouldn’t know it from reading the news. KCRA devoted exactly 40 words to the story, and here I present them to you with a link to the original article (which contains exactly the same number of words):
Gay communities and those who support them are showing pride with parades and demonstrations.
Activists in Sacramento were among the groups speaking up at the state capitol Saturday morning.
There was also a pride party at the city’

A Big Sweaty Pile of Heath
[image error]I hate the summer. I make no apologies for this and I will shout it from the highest snow-capped mountain until my throat is raw. I hate the summer.
I could list out all the thing that make me mad about the months of May through August…but let me focus on just a few…
1. It’s hot. The temperature rises into the uncomfortable zone of 80+. Without sounding like a hypocrite, I will admit that I do not mind weather in the 90’s while I’m flying down the highway with the windows down. Standing around in

What R U up 2 2day?
[image error]Have U noticed how more & more ppl that U know R starting 2 use a vry strange new language when they communicate w/ U in written format? U C it everywhere, in text messages 1st, but now it has consistently expanded in2 all comms forms.
It began with the text message, and that blasted response of “message too long to send” that we all dreaded. Ugh, how am I going to condense a grocery list from a paragraph to a sentence so I can text it to my partner? I guess lettuce could become let us, and cat f
