You have never met a guy like Caz: Blogging Sucks.

You hear about the power of this here blogging stuff. Well let me tell you as a skeptic when it comes to social networking. I am starting to understand that we are not talking about social marketing. I am still not sure how this blog will ever sell anything. I thought maybe it will connect me with like minded people, though.  And it has.

I have reconnected with old friends, industry pals, and even had people I have never met before send me very interesting and, in most cases, kind notes.  Some bizarre.

However, I have had one experience regarding one of my blogs I shall never forget.  I seem to have offended one of my greatest friends on earth with a blog I wrote about how creative other people are.   They really are, you know.  Regardless, I mentioned a very talented editor at my firm named Angela.  She really is, you know (talented that is). I then linked her to our website which features an unbelievable amount of work that was edited, and in some cases, entirely conceived by my friend Caz or as some know him, Jason Casarin. 

The backlash has been outrageous. Not from Caz, but all of the people around me that read the blog and made note of the fact that I should have linked to Angela's work directly and how this was a down-right dastardly thing to do to my good buddy.  This is too true.  Here is another truth: I am not the world's most savvy blogger. Can you tell? I am sorry, Caz.  You are well-loved in case you wondered.   

So as long as we are talking about Jason Casarin.  Let me just give you a few points about this guy because I guarantee that you have never met anyone quite like him.  Here is what I know about him and have experienced with him (he is so mad right now reading this - oh well):

• Was the best stand-up comedian his Cambridge High School has ever seen.
  
• Was he lead singer of an amazing band - Seven Days Gone (that is a whole week shot).
  
• Caz sings like a real rock star. His voice and passion for music is astounding.
  
• Is one hell of a painter. Seriously (he is Rasta Phil approved).
  
• Caz is a major Eddie Vedder fan (ha ha ha ha ha ha)
  
• He is instantly the best guy you have ever met.
  
• When RedFish began it was me and Caz. And 13 Roadside Attractions, a laptop and a camera.
  
• He is one of Canada's hottest, most effective self-directed editor in my opinion.
  
• He THE FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE.  I am a good judge of this stuff.
  
• He now wants to puke if he got this far.  Gotta love it.
  
• He is a great boyfriend with eyes for only one chick (she's hot so no real challenge there).
  
• He will sing upon request. He will not always stop upon request.
  

There are so many cool things to say about Caz and the reason I am is because without him I would not be working at the place I love the best, RedFish Entertainment (city's best fish market).

So, I have asked Angela to put a reel of her work up so I can link to it in that blog and I will.

Below are some clips from YouTube that feature Caz.

Email me if you want his reel (I will send you mine).

Sorry everyone.  Sorry Caz.  You are great. Blogging sucks.
