New Year – New Underwear
Old Man 2008 has withered away, giving way to Bouncing Baby 2009.
Change is in the air. Hope is waiting in the wings.
But fear still lurks in the shadowy future. Fear of evil-doers is passé. Now we’re back to the old chestnut of financial fears both real and imagined.
Never has so much hung in the balance. (With the possible exception of the last time that it did.)
So, what to do?
I can only do so much on my own, so probably more of the same. Just better than the last (on the good days).
So that’s my New Years Resolution*: more of the 3 L’s – Listen, Learn, Laugh.
Not always in that order.
Thank you for being there! Happy New Year!

He also advises for the award-winning documentary and comics advocacy movement Dig Comics.
As a comedic performer/actor, he specializes in being a goofball.
Corey is an active member of the Los Angeles-based improv comedy ensemble The Magic Meathands. He helped form the sketch comedy group Foe Pa following a memorable stint with The 3rd Floor: LA. Corey has been seen in online videos from The Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour (Best Web Comedy-Episodic, Clicker.com), The Starmind Record, and Poopdog Entertainment, short films Tough Love (Official Selection, Festival de Cannes’ Short Film Corner) and Hattie Needs Rehab (Excellence in Performance, Extreme Filmmaker 48 Hour Film Festival), the feature film Chasing Happiness, and the pilot for the children’s show “Imagination Station”, as well as on stage in an award-winning Los Angeles production of Chekov’s Three Sisters and Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Corey Blake also has experience behind the camera. He writes comedy sketches and directs and produces videos for the Magic Meathands Originals sketch web-series. He wrote for the sketch comedy groups Foe Pa and The 3rd Floor: LA. He was a writer for the musical comedy Mission: Improbable, which he also helped produce.
