Bakersfield loses a blogger: Heath Dobbler's Drunk Corner Passes Out - By N.L. Belardes
My first reaction? Was it something I said?
Did Heath Dobbler really pass out?
Now I know Jason Sperber is looking up Bakersfield blogs to write about. But now there's one less. Heath Dobbler of the band, The In-Denials has hung up his blogger belt.
Why? Is he dead? No, just his blog. Ahh farewell, farewell...
I have no idea why he truly ended Dobbler's Drunk Corner, and whatever he says he's full of shit. It was a great blog, one people loved to hate. We had great battles. I even had great battles with local punks on it...
Ahh farewell, farewell...
And then there was the political rants, the Steeler fan blogs, and all the punk talk.
And now it's gone.
OK, Heath did write:
Just wanted to let you know I pulled the plug on the O'l blog page today.
I'm trying to lighten some of this creative hobby load, so that I'm not so scatterbrained with countless projects all of the time. Not that I was ever truly guilty of spending too much time on the page, but my energy is better wasted on other things right now. Keep fighting the good fight with your own page, and I'm sorry for all of the unfair competition my page was causing yours (hahaha). Maybe I'll write some shit from time to time and use your portal as my bulletin board.
And just so you know. He's not dead. He wasn't even dying. Hell, we all spend too much time on the blogs...
Ah farewell, farewell...it's still a death of sorts. Although future historians won't be able to pull from his wittiness. Heath's reply?
...future historians can meet me at a bar somewhere.
My final eulogy? Ah farewell, farewell... I must ponder Heath's final words on his blog:
Aliens. If for one second any of us truly believe that were the only form of thinkable civilization in this universe, then we are pretty small minded as a whole. As fucked up as we are, there has to be an existence somewhere to compensate for balance... it's universal law.
I'm going to bed.
And Heath? I can hear him now. His words strong through his typing with those big stubby fingers of his:
I'm going out for ketchup, who's coming with me...

wow! Do I stink THAT BAD??
These bloggers are dropping like flies and it's always coincidentally after I post a comment in them! First Black Dog, then Annie Black, now Heath Dobbler. WOW! I usually only have this effect on plants. But now blogs too? YIKES!
*baketown (if you're reading this) don't YOU go anywhere!
**runs to check and make sure matildakay.com is still up and running and then runs back to check nlbelardes.com
eek!
good riddance.
I'm sorry to see Heath's blog go... I enjoyed reading his view of the world. He was good at starting fights and discussions on his blog. It was all good fun!
Wish you the best in your other creative projects Heath!
Maybe you'll return to the blogosphere someday...
I stopped by the drunken corner just the other day and was impressed at the growth I saw in his writing. It was always pretty good but it looked like he had stepped up to another level. Sorry to see him go.
I'm glad I didnt comment so as to avoid the heavy burden of guilt that Norma feels.
Maybe if I had commented it would have stopped him. Ohhhh shit here we go...
Who will be next in the burning flames of Bakersfield blogs...?
Black Dog, Dobbler, Flower in the Dale, Annie Black, The Blackboard Blog, Bakosphere, Miss Light...
And Ode to Bakersfield Blog Tombstones...
Damn.. and he took the blog down and everything! Now where am I gonna get my sex tips from? haha
Just call Heath in the middle of the night like I do.
First off, Anonymous... Fuck You!
Secondly, it was a lot of fun most of the time... and very bad for my blood pressure the rest of the time.
Thirdly, Anonymous... Fuck You!
And lastly, thanks for the good times Nick, Norma, Matildakay... see ya around.
Oh and one more thing...
ANONYMOUS FUCK YOU!!!
Well I'm not going anywhere. I don't have any problems with letting my site go idle when I have nothing to say, or am just too lazy to say it.
Ah and it sad that he deleted it instead of just stopping the postings. The low-lifes have already grabbed it to advertise performance enhancement drugs.
Well Heath at least stop by all out blogs and leave some comments now and then (good reply to anon).
