Last night, I turned on the TV and some reality show was on. There were these gals on a stage and a bunch of tween girls and young teenage girls in the audience. At first I thought it was America's Top Model. Then I realized that the gals on stage were going to sing and the people in the audience, the target demographic according to the host, were going to rate them. I hit info to see what

I could write about how it would only see logical that a government sponsored entity would have alot of regulation by said government. Apparently, this article in Yahoo News tells me that I am wrong in my assumption. I could write about how dumb it is for someone to freak about about the well-being of their bank especially if they have under $100,000 in their checking account. It's called the

This afternoon I was trying to figure out why the smoke suddenly got thick by searching on the local TV channel websites when I found this story about a chimpanzee escaping from an animal sanctuary in San Bernardino county. At first, I thought it was bizarre that someone would try to raise a chimpanzee like a child, but then I got to this part of the story: Over the Davises' protests, Moe was

According to this Yahoo! News article, there were 943 cases of salmonella poisoning reported nationwide since mid-April. Is this really cause for alarm? About 43,000 people died in traffic accidents in 2005 and you don't see everyone panicking about the safety of the roads or vehicles. Food safety is an important issue, but this issue is being mishandled by the news media. It just seems to

I hope everyone has a great time at whatever barbecue, parade or picnic you attend today! Celebrating America's independence is one of my favorite holidays, right behind Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween. Wang Chi: Here's to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here's to America's colors, the colors that never run. Jack Burton: May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.

On my way home last night, I was almost killed or at least severely wounded, by two idiots. At one intersection, I had a green light and the idiot coming from the other direction decided he was going to turn left in front of me even though I was going straight. My stupid horn did a double honk that sounded more friendly than angry. At the next intersection, not a block away from the first

Clearly this is a TV show derived from my own confusion about wanting children. Maybe some people watching that show will realize that they too are not ready for the challenge of parenthood. Speaking of, I seem to keep getting stuck with watching my nephew whenever he is around. It's driving me nuts. The thing is that I'm not asked to watch him. People just disappear from the room or

I love that show "How It's Made." For some reason, I just find it soothing to watch. It's also fascinating to see how much work goes into every day items. I can't believe how much is still done by hand. Of course, watching it in HD is a must.

But I think I asked a guy out without realizing it. I didn't actually say something specific, "Let's go out on Friday," but I did say that I wanted to hang out with him and gave him my business card. I told myself not to do that anymore, and what do I go and do? Old habits die hard, I guess.

If your friends and family don't like the person you are dating, chances are pretty good you should listen to them. It's better to be alone and unfettered by someone else's issues than to be in a relationship that is probably toxic. Also, I find it odd when a guy doesn't like sports. That's one of those non-negotiable things I look for in a date. From my limited experience, the men who

New England Patriots cheating scandal aside, I've been saying for years that it seems really easy to manipulate or rig professional sports like football and basketball. All you have to do is get a ref to see the numerous fouls and penalties in the game and call them on one team more than another. I've always said that you could call a holding penalty on every single play in a pro football

You know, it's really sad when I long for the days of $2.00 a gallon gasoline. Seriously, what the hell is Congress doing? Get off your collective asses and find the corruption going on with the oil companies. Can't anyone remember Enron? Seems like a similar situation to me! I would also like to point out that I've been trying to get someone to do something about the price of gasoline for

Is the world really going to end just because a same sex couple gets married come June 17th? Smart people will see an opportunity. What government wouldn't want a new income stream in these trying times? Heck, a whole new cottage industry could spring up as a result of the California Supreme Court's ruling. Just think of the money that could be made catering to same sex couples. New

Note to Sacramento area television stations: Most of your viewers do not care about the actual construction going on in the "boat section" of I-5. Stop promoting your coverage of it. We want to know about any and all backups/traffic jams caused by the construction. Granted it's only the weekend and the amount of traffic is lighter than commute time, but come Monday, you better be showing us

I've been watching HGTV way too much. If I see one more beige wall, I'm going to puke. Can we get a little color in those houses, people? And when are stainless steel appliances going to be out of vogue? I'm totally over it. Why would I want a giant stove that looks like it belongs in a restaurant. Who the hell has that many people at their dinner table on a regular basis? Also, I'm sick

The boxes seem to be multiplying. I swear I've unloaded at least 20 of the things, but the den is still full of crap. Not to mention that I can't seem to find some of my clothes. How does some stuff disappear in a sea of boxes? Also, were the hell is my nail file? I can't find my some other toiletries either. I swear I've checked inside every box. Maybe some gnomes stole my stuff and

I have internet at home! I don't know why I didn't order it with my phone, but for some dumb reason I thought I would shop around. Whatever. Now I have to figure out where I put everything. It's in a box somewhere. Did I mention how wonderful it is to have a yard? I didn't even realize how much I missed having a backyard. I never want to live in another apartment. It's so quiet and

Building an arena at Cal Expo. Seriously? Do the NBA and the Maloofs have the money to reconfigure the entire Business 80 Freeway? If not, they need to just stop the madness. That stretch of freeway has to be the most screwed up in the Sacramento area. One tiny little blip and it's completely jammed. I was stuck in traffic on that freeway at 10:00 am on a Tuesday once. It made no sense.

As you may or may not know, Cal-Trans will be shutting down parts of I-5 in Sacramento at the end of this month. Apparently, Cal-Trans has been having community meetings to help people understand the impact that the roadwork will have on the daily commute. Basically, they said that if people don't alter their travel patterns, the surface streets around Sacramento will be unable to handle the

To the dude parked in front of my garage this afternoon, Your deafening music serves as a reminder as to why I am happy to move out of this neighborhood. I'm not really sure who you are trying to impress. Maybe you just want to feel like you are living in the middle of a concert. Either way, I will be glad to be away from the ambiance you create.

Well, I'm officially moving. The lease has been signed, so there is no backing out now! The next step is to hire movers. Someone at my office suggested craigslist. I wonder if the cheap rates offered by the ad posters are too good to be true. My luck I'd get some dude who would hold my stuff hostage until I paid him an outrageous amount of money (which I don't have). Maybe I should just be

Some "blogger" over at Yahoo threw together a list of the Top 25 Hair Metal Bands. Seriously, shouldn't Bon Jovi be number 1? How the hell did Vixen rate higher? Ask anyone which song they like better "Wanted Dead or Alive" or "Edge of a Broken Heart" and there is your answer! Better yet, ask them to name four songs from each band. Guess which one will have more responses! Guns 'N Roses

I was watching something on TV and it said that the average American wedding costs $18,000. What the hell?!? There is absolutely no way I would expect my parents to spend that much money on a one time event. If they had that much money to give me, I'd rather use it towards the down payment on a house or invest it in the stock market. It just seems so frivolous and wasteful to use that money

Is the real Iron Chef back on the Food Network? Totally Awesome! The American version just isn't as interesting as the original. I personally enjoyed the cultural difference. It was interesting to see the weird ingredients featured on each show. Live turtles were the ingredient once! It was awful, yet entertaining.
