Ok, I'll admit it! I've never heard of Corbin Bleu until one of my best buds, Sal King, told me about this new fansite. My pre-school kids watch High School Musical, (don't ask!), and they totally grilled me when I asked who Corbin Bleu was! "Dad, you don't know who Corbin Bleu is? You're so uncool!"

They got me! I am "uncool" and not "up with the stuff" going on in Disneyland. Refusing to be called an old man in my 30's, I quickly sat down and watched the movies, which coincidently I got for my kids last Christmas, and brushed up on my Corbin Bleu. He wasn't in the first one much--which lets me know that he is a rising star! They gave him much more action in the second one, and I can only guess that he's got a lot of lines--and dancing--to do in the three-quel that will be showed in theatres. Oh joy! Must take my twins to see him!! (And I'll watch his co-star Monique Coleman, who I've become a fan of! WOW!)

Back to the award. I contacted the site administrator, Lisa J, about the site and she further increased my Corbin Bleu knowledge! Corbin Bleu has another movie called Jump In, that was also produced by Disney. Hey! I stopped watching Disney a long time ago ok? I didn't know!! Even more shocking is that I also had this DVD in my living room unbeknowst to myself!! I watched it too. Not bad! In fact, its very good!

Lisa J let me know that Almost Bullet is one of several Corbin Bleu fansites out there, but what makes theirs unique from the rest is the focus on Corbin's contributions to the community as well as his showbiz career!

The site comes with a LOT of VIDEO and I love VIDEO! You can see Corbin Bleu in his concerts and acting, etc! Whoa! Concerts? Lisa J, you mean this guy sings and has his own CD aside from the High School Musical soundtrack?

Once again the chants of "Oh dad, you are so uncool!", as my 8-year old daughter brought me Corbin Bleu's Another Side CD that I had purchased for her last year at Target. "Was I a bad father? Should I have really listened to this CD first, or at least KNEW who the guy was?"

I was ok. I listened to the songs on his CD and they were earworthy. Not any references to bootygrinding or vulgar language, whew! This kid is pure Disney! The CD is cute with songs that if you were in high school "back in da daze"--you'd say didn't exist in the younger generation anymore! My hats off to the producers of his CD and Corbin Bleu!

Lisa J filled me in that the "Bleuman", a nickname for Corbin Bleu is starring in a movie call FreeStyle due in theatres sometime this year where he is a motorcross rider. Hmm... I have to think about going to see that--I know nothing about the sport. Lisa J then further pushed the Bleuman by saying that neither did he! Corbin had to learn how to motorcross for the movie. Well,. if Corbin will go through all that trouble of learning how to ride, then seeing the movie is the LEAST we can do for him, right? Let's do that!

You can find out more about when FreeStyle hits on the section of the site called "Bullet Bulletins."

Hey, now I had to ask Lisa J what is up with Almost Bullet? The name and stuff?

Almost Bullet comes from Corbin Bleu's parents "almost" naming him Bullet Bleu, after the U2 hit "Bullet the Blue Sky". Ok, I get that! U2 was-and still is an awesome band! Creativeness on that part guys!

The site also features a message board, chat rooms, games, a Corbin Bleu picture gallery, contests and links to other Corbin Bleu fansites and MySpace pages. You can view the awarding winning site at http://www.almostbullet.com
