This video represents fun at "corporate america" My friend and co-worker Kait, wanted to star, and do the "Jammie Shuffle" from Saturday Night Live. Here we go....
I am sure that Kait can be booked for birthday parties, Bat Mitzfas, Weddings, and just a plain ol' saturday night! Please email all fan mail to this blog's website....
People ask me, "Chase, where can I find videos of you? Chase, where can I find things that you think that are funny and that you must share with the world?" I used to simply reply, "Well, old lady that smells like jello and aqua net-- Canada" but, I can now tell her and you, to come to this website. You should come everyday! Really. I need the numbers to boost my self-esteem....

AV-ATTARI!
Today I went to the movies. Yes, a dark room with complete strangers, butter-drenched popcorn (sorry cholesterol!) and sticky floors. Why is every movie theatre floor sticky!? Every one! I finally, finally, finally saw James Cameron's "Avatar." I have heard several things since it's opening on Christmas Day. I heard, "the story is weak, but the visuals are great," "It's this generation's Star Wars," "It's better than Star Wars," and even, "It's the smurfs crossed with the Native Americans fighting over oil."
I have read reviews and critic's opinions. I have got plenty of word of mouth buzz. Watching the box office returns reminds me of a time when James Cameron had another small film in theaters you may have heard of. Something about a boat. It sank or something. My heart will go on, or keep beating on, or whatever--.
Well, folks, time has come for my review. I would normally not post a whole review of a movie on my blog, but this movie is altering. I predict a sea-change in the motion picture industry due to "Avatar."I believe that this movie has revolutionized the way films will be made from now on. The technical wizardry is flawless. Flawless. I often forgot that some scenes and sequences were complete digital imagery. That is a big deal, as you can always see a "puppet's strings." Flawless is not a word I use lightly. Cameron spent 15 years developing story, effects, and so on. I think it was time well spent. He has said he has a franchise planned with a deep-space type of narrative taking the audience all around his universe. I want to go to there...
The Na'vi, the alien race depicted, are a polarizing, captivating, wonder of pure cinema magic. Beautiful creatures packed with real, raw emotion, and a deep, reverent history and way of life. Digital creations, they never once look "dead" or lifeless. The eyes are always emoting. The planet of Pandora is beyond imagination. The botanical scenery and lighting alone blows the mind on an epic scale. It is like watching a "lite brite" on extacy. Nothing like this has been put on the silver screen before. Not that I have seen, anyway.
The story is compelling, but at times a bit drab. It is above all a love story, and sometimes that gets weighed down by the science of how the conflict of the film is presented. The science is fascinating, to say the least, and makes the mind just reel. The story was at it's best when it divulged the history and religious beliefs of the Na'vi. Very original, and deep. I think that the conflict between the blue warriors and the human race was a great story, even without a romantic, "Romeo and Juliet" plot for our protagonist. But, we gotta have some kissy kissy!
As expected, the actors do a great job. My hat is off to Sygorney Weaver. She was the most captivating character. She really demonstrated a strong, grufff, flawed, character, that at first is almost unbearable, but evolves and shows an almost child-like hunger for knowledge and faith that caused the audience to have great empathy.
I did not get to see it in 3D. I imagine it is quite the thrill ride. I will need a vomit bag, I am sure. The scenes shot "flying" are almost like riding the wing of a 747! This film will change cinema in many ways, as I said. It is demonstrating today a new way of bringing folks back to theatres. A way to be transformed to another world, not only in story, but in a "virtual reality" type of way. Big screens, and 3D glasses. Ultimate suspension of disbelief. The plausible impossible. Maybe Hollywood will even resurrect "Smell-O-Vision!"
I highly recommend this film. It is unlike anything seen. A good fantasy/sci-fi/romance/action/drama with political undertones. Of course political undertones! It was written and developed under the Bush administration! The political undertones could have been left out. You will know them when you see them. Thanks for letting me just nerd out over this movie. It is not everyday or every year even that a film comes along that changes the game. I am totally a nerd for "Avatar." So what? I will take my swirlee now....
I am sure that Mr. Cameron will be "king of the world" yet again come Oscar night. Also, is it wrong that after the show today I wanted to put on blue makeup and my Whoopi Goldberg wig? Just asking....

GIVE A DAY, GET A DISNEY DAY!!
Here is a couple of my old pals talking about volunteering. Maybe I should organize something, and we can help others, and get a ticket to Disney for helping! Watch the video below. I am going to try not to steal any of Fozzie's jokes.....

THIS POST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER P...
Heathcare is a hot-button, hot-topic, hot-under-the-collar, issue in America. Folks on Capital Hill have been debating it, and think they have come to an agreement. (Sure!) Pelosi and friends have been having several "close-door" meetings and negotiations. (hmmm....) When Speaker of the House Pelosi came out of her chambers, (she did not see her shadow, that is next month....) a throng of press awaited her. One reporter reminded the Democrat that in 2008 then-candidate Obama said that all such negotiations be open to C-SPAN cameras.
“There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail,” quipped Pelosi, who has no intentions of making the meetings public. (She really zinged him, didn't she?)
Is she mud-slinging? I think this is evidence that not everyone is getting along in Washington. Last year around this time, I remember President Obama's "non-state-of-the-union-state-of-the-union-address" where everyone applauded him after every phrase, and it was a downright love-fest. It was sweet and sappy, and was like watching Disney take over Washington. It seems that times have changed.
This story is brought to you by the letter P. Here is what I mean...
So let's see, Pelosi is picking on the president in the press and presently keeping purposed proceedings on healthcare from the public. Petty. Proof of pure patriotism in politics.
(wow, all that set up for that joke, and it wasn't even that funny....)
My hope is that people that we have elected don't act like children and work for the common good.
HAPPY 2010!
Happy New Year! I am back! I took a little vacation to rest my fingers from the keyboard. Ha Ha! I am just kidding- I am lazy.
It seemed that 2009 ended with a bang. A big one. You may have heard it. I had an accident at work, and have since spent almost everyday in bed. Do you wanna hear about the big accident?
It was the day after Christmas. I was at work and had a five minute break in the breakroom next to the kitchen. I got up to head back to the lobby to get back to work, and then, it happened---I hit the floor! I fell right on my backside! I hit some water, and tried to water ski, but I did a scooby-doo type of run in place, and then hit the ground right on my tailbone. It all happened in slow motion. I swear, from the time I hit the slippery floor to the time I hit the actual ground, 30 minutes went by. When I hit the floor, I just sat there like a big baby that just missed his first step. I had a kitchen full of people run to my aid. Panic ensued. People heard the crash throughout the place. Wine glasses hit the floor. Debris fell from the ceiling. Young mothers clutched their little ones, and hid under the table. People were screaming. It looked like a scene from "The Towering Inferno." Okay, maybe it wasn't bad. I may be exaggerating a little, but it was bad.
I walked away (slowly) with only an injured back. I have since laid low. Baby Huey, here, has been in bed. What a way to end the year with a bang, and start the new one with pain!
I am getting along fine, just resting. To prevent this from happening again, I would wear water-skis to work-- but have you seen my feet? I already do...
I sincerely hope that this year is great for everyone, and it it full of laughter! Stay tuned and it will be!
