Ok, so the Olypmics are coming up. I love the Olypmics - gymnastics and swimming! Hot boys in spandex! What could be better?

So, for your viewing pleasure ... one of my fave boys in spandex - Michael Phelps!

Oh yes! I'd love to helo him work on his stroke! GOLD MEDAL!!!!!

Men at Work!

So, ya wanted to see my cute work outfit? Well here ya go!

And for the anonymous caller who wanted to see me OUT of my uniform ...

Add - a - Caption!

What do YOU think these two are looking at?

You Bettah WORK!

Yep! I'm working!

So, I got home from tour with the summer ahead of me - and no job. I applied at a few places, but I was getting worried cause I wasn't having any cash flow coming in.

But, my friend Jeff came to the rescue and helped me get a job at the Hilton Lafayette. I'm working as a banquet server, and it's a pretty fun job. And, I'm wearing a cute little outfit and I'm working inside for the summer!

But man, do my feet hurt! How quickly you forget what it's like to be on your feet for HOURS!

The world we live in ....

So, I don't know how many of you saw this ...

Well, this 70 year old man in Connecticut gets hit by a car. Notice how long it takes anyone to go and see if he's ok. Also notice the scooter that rides around him.

Yes, this is the world we live in.

Drag Jesus!

Ok, so I went out last night with my friend Chris to the local GB (gay bar). We went to have a drink or 2 ... or 4, cause Chris has been stressing out lately.

Anyway, last night was a drag show. So, we're watching, enjoying the entertainment, when they introduce the next performer ...

Racine Ross

Now, Miss Ross was performing long before I came out, but she was the head queen when I was first going to the GB's. Then, she kinda vanished. Acutally, I thought she was dead.

Well, she's not! She was alive and kicking last night, looking cute, but as drunk and drugged as ever.

I was so shocked to see her, I tipped her a dollar.

Holy Cow!

So ...

Have you ever noticed that cows are EVERYWHERE?

Beef. Milk. Leather. They are everywhere! I heard somewhere that you see a cow in one form or another EVERY DAY!

Crazy, huh?

A funny...

I think farting is funny, too! :)

BOM!

I love this clip from the Golden Girls!

Home Sweet Home!

Hey guys!

Well, I am back home from my short 6 week tour in Egypt and Dubai! I've got some great stories and fun pictures, so stay tuned for more.

Now I have to go do about 27 loads of laundry! UGH!

Hi from Dubai!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to send a shout from Dubai! Things are going great out here. Dubai seems to have everyone satisfied so far. The hotel is great, the food is great, the weather is great ... it's just GREAT!

The travel day here was not so great. If you read any of my posts from travel days from my Sesame days - you know that I hate travel days. Well, this one ranks up there. A simple flight turned into a big deal - driving to the wrong terminal, luggage weight issuses, LOTS of x-raying the bags, customs trouble, late vans, etc. Yah, it was a long day! Good thing the hotel was nice!

Also, the other day I almost got hit by a car. Well, I wasn't really paying attention, and what I thought was just a parking lot acutally had traffic in it, and I almost got hit. Now Brad treats me like a little kid before I cross the street. It's hilarious. Speaking of ... here's a pic of him and I!

So, besides that ... Hope all is well back in the US! See ya in a few weeks!

Bye Bye Egypt!

So, we've been here for about 3 weeks now. This past week we switched hotels and moved to one closer to the airport. This hotel had a pool, bar, and casino ... hence why we moved! 

It's been a great place to spend our little vacation. We've sat out by the pool (and I got a little burnt, but it's all better now). We danced at the disco one night, and stunned everyone with our dirty American dancing. We hit the gym and enjoyed the sauna and steam room. 

Overall, we've had a blast. But honestly ... I'm over Egypt. The pyramids were cool and all, but after that, there isn't much to do here. I'm ready for a change of scenery.

Thankfully, we head to Dubai tomorrow! We'll be there for 3 weeks, then it's back home for a few months before the European tour starts! :)

So, farewell Egypt. It's been fun!

Hi from Egypt!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to put up a few pics and let you all know that things here in Egpyt are going great.

We finished our run here, and we are on a little 2 week vacation while the show gets moved to Dubai. The shows were great. It was kinda crazy having only about 3 days of rehearsal and just jumping in the show - but I did it, and I got some pretty nice compliments, too.

As you can see, we went to the pyramids. We rode camels, saw the pyramids -did it all! I also got a HELLA sunburn. OUCH! But, it's ok now. Note to self - wear sunscreen in the desert!

So, we are just relaxing for the next two weeks, then we are off to Dubai. Then I'll be headed home for a bit before the European tour starts! WOO HOO!

Hope all is well wherever you are!

Walk like an Egyptian!

So, here I am in Egypt! Everything is going great! For those of you who didn't know, I'm out on tour playing Goofy in Disney Live's "Mickey's Magic Show." I'm having a ball out here. After a few quick days of rehearsal, I did my first show yesterday. All went well, and everyone's telling me what a great job I'm doing. WOO HOO!

Egypt is great, too. The traffic is insane. No one pays any attention to lines on the road or anything. My blood pressure goes through the roof everytime! Besides that, it's all good here. We went to the pyramids last night to see a light show. It was cool, but it wasn't as impressive as I thought. The Sphinx seemed small - but we are going back Saturday to get a closer look!

Besides that, all is good. Been trying to eat healthy and been going to the gym. After my first time in the gym, my arms hurt SO MUCH! It was so bad that it woke me up in the middle of the night. But - no pain, no gain! HAHA!

So, hope all is well on your side of the world, and I'll get some pics up ASAP!

IN EGYPT!

Hey all!

Just a quick note to let you all know that I've made it safe and sound in Egypt! WOO HOO!

More news later!

CRAZY NO FOAM LADY!!!

Ok, so working at Starbucks, we get some pretty crazy people that come in. I mean, caffeine does some crazy things to people, and it's even crazier when they don't have ENOUGH coffee in their systems.

Well, today was crazy people day. I dunno what was wrong with people ... but they were highly irritable!

So, this one lady was the worst. She came through the drive thru and wanted some silly drink - 4 shots, sugar free, extra hot, no foam - I hate people like that. Insanely picky.

Anyway, she comes inside and says that there is foam on it. She then goes into detail how she likes NO FOAM at all. Like she's allergic to foam, or has some kinda of phobia. So, I tell the girl making the drink that I'll take over and make it. So, I put no foam. I even scoop out any foamlike madness that might be in it. Well since she is watching me, she asks for me to scoop it again. I do, and hand it to her.

Well, she goes to her car, then comes BACK in. She says that she's scooped out foam with her napkin, and now wants a spoon so she can scoop out the non existent foam. Crazy.

She then goes to her car ... takes out her camera and takes a picture of the store ... does some more crazy lady stuff ... and leaves.

So, we all look at each other, giggle, and shake it off. Well, a few minutes later, here she is again, pulling into the parking lot.

She comes in ... the drink is not right, blah blah blah. So, I remake it. I don't even make foam with the milk - which is totally wrong. But, she wants no foam - she's getting no foam. So, I take all measures to make sure there is no foam. I even scoop out any foamlike substance in the drink, and hand it to her. She goes to the condiment bar ...

AND WALKS BACK TO ASK FOR ANOTHER SPOON! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?

Oh crazy no foam lady. We made fun of you all day! Thanks for the laughs!

Happy

I've been extraordinarily happy lately.

Thanks.

You know who you are! :)

Tick tock...

Ok, so even thought I am NO WHERE close to being prepared to go on tour, and I have about 75 THOUSAND things that I need to get done before I leave...

I'm ready to go!

I'm tired of waiting. I need to get all my shit together - cause I am ready to get the hell out of here and doing something new. it just seems that everything around me is screaming for me to GO GO GO!

Only a few more weeks. Wow, I really SHOULD get some stuff done! :)

A brush with the law...

Well, yesterday was a crazy day on the road! On my way to work, I got stopped by a state trooper for not having my seat belt on. Well, it's all good, I apologize, give him my license, blah blah blah. Well, then he asks for insurance and registration. HA! I open my glove comparment and about 5 of the GAYEST CD's fall out - Kelly Clarkson, Rhianna, Cher, Rupaul, and some other mix CD! Well, besides that, I can't find anything. I'm fumbling through papers, and finally I find the registration - and an EXPIRED insurance card. He lets me off with a ticket for the seatbelt, and that's all ... thank God!

Then, on my way HOME, I'm just driving along, and I look in my rearview mirror to find this...

Oh, that's right. There was a man BRUSHING HIS TEETH in the truck behind me. And he was just going at it, too! He then spit into a Coke can. It was priceless!

Stop

Stop.

No more.

Done.

The end.

Big Mo'

Hmm ... Dale Earnheart Jr. has some explaining to do.

He called his new candy bar Big Mo'.

I dunno about you, but I'm dying to put a Big Mo' in my mouth! ;)

Allergies!

I hate my allergies!

Almost as much as I hate the huge tree that keeps dumping the pollen covered things all over my house and car.

Ugh!

Walk it out!

Watch this! I'm so learning this so I can do it at the club! HOLLA!

A morning in hell...

Ok, life sucked this morning.

So, after a wonderful day at work yesterday, I opened again today. Well, one of the people that were supposed to open didn't show up, so I gave her a call.

Well, she's having some family issues at the moment, and our manager told her that she didn't have to worry, that we'd get it all taken care of.

Well, my manager covered her shift yesterday, but falied to do it for the shift this morning. So, we are a person short! Wee.

Well, I call my manager this morning to see what's up - and her phone goes straight to voicemail. I hate this. I mean, she NEVER seems to answer the phone. What if I was in an accident? Or the store had been broken into? Lady needs to answer her damn phone. I mean - YOU MANAGE A FREAKIN' STARBUCKS!

So, the day begins - and things are ok.

Until the rush hits.

Now we get a rush every morning, and with 3 people, it's pretty hard. Today was insane! Doing that a person short was HELL, not to mention the fact people were being RIDICULOUS this morning. Like a lady coming in RIGHT in the middle of a rush and wanting a coffee traveler and 15 pastries. COME ON!

I tried the best I could. I just hate when people can see that I am insanely frustrated, that there are drinks lined up, that we are doing the best we can ... and they just STARE me down, like it's gonna make things move faster. UGH!

Anyway, my manager decides to call at 9. I called her at 5 this morning. She asks why I didn't try calling anyone. I CALLED YOU BITCH! The person RESPONSIBLE for this madness!

Well, I didn't talk to her. I called in one of the other shifts and he came over to help. He pretty much told her that she screwed me over this morning.

I, on the other hand, called our district manager and told her about this madness. She agreed with me whole heartedly.

And, after being in hell ... we still did a good job this morning, seeing about a person a minute. Take that!

A shift with a view...

So, today was a great day.

Lucky for me, my manager scheduled her and I to open the store today. So that meant that I could be just a barista for the day - no having to be in charge or anything!

So, I was in the drive thru ALL DAY! And ya know what? I don't see why the other people that work there complain that they are always in the drive thru. I had a GREAT day!

All I did was stand there, take orders, and talk to people at the window. ALL 8 HOURS of my shift. I mean, what's so difficult about that?

And, I must brag and say that I was upselling the SHIT out of stuff today. I rock!

I need more days like that!

The best of both worlds!

Ok, I'll admit.

I like Hannah Montana!

You know, when I flip through the channels and see it on the Disney channel ... I can't help myself. Well, that kinda goes for all Disney channel shows.

And hell, she's cute. That wig ... it's total drag queen!

So, Jon got me the CD because we both have some major love for this girl. I love that "See You Again" song - and actually, some of the other songs are pretty catchy, too!

So, I'm a Fan-a-Hannah Montana! HAHA!

Yellow Light

Well, let's slow down the good news.

I just got a call today from my performance director that Dubai ... has been posponed!

So, I won't be going out on tour til the end of April...

TO CAIRO, EGYPT!

I know, exciting! So, I'll stay at the 'Bux a little longer.

And now I have more time to pack! :)

Again and again!

So ....

I'M GOING BACK ON TOUR! Ya, that's right folks. I've signed a contract, and I'll be going back on tour starting mid March.

And I'll be reliving the past- cause this time it's DISNEY LIVE! I'll be playing Goofy - and I'm way excited!

It's an internatonal tour, and the first stop is Dubai! WOW!

It's gonna be awesome!

So, I'm gonna fire this bad puppy back up, post some pics and whatnot, and it'll be great!

Stay tuned!

Who knew?

Who knew this

plus this

can earn you $100 dollars! I love it!

The Way I Am...

I love this song. It makes me feel like this picture.

If you were falling, then I would catch you.

You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.

And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.

Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.

And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine if you start losing all your hair.

Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.

And you take me the way I am.

You take me the way I am.

You take me the way I am.

Have you ever noticed....

Have you ever noticed that "Girlfriends"

is the black version of

Sex in the City?

CYCLE 10!!!

Lets here it for the Cycle 10 girls of America's Next Top Model! They are looking very Chicago meets Pussycat Dolls meets a catering job. I can't wait!!

And speaking of models ... my new straight boyfriend is on a modeling show. His name is Perry. He's yummy!

I so need to try out for one of these shows. I mean, I watch enough of them. I think I've learned enough from 9 cycles of ANTM to do SOMEWHAT of a good job.

Goals...

This is what I looked like when I was on tour and going to the gym.

And this is what I want to look like.

Is that too much to ask?

Inspiration to start working out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that 2008 has started on a good note for everyone.

I'm glad that 2008 is here. I'm planning on starting with a clean slate, and making this year a great one!

As for resloutions, I'm planning on getting back in shape. Ya, everyone says I am skinny, but I want to get back to eating a bit healthier and get active again. No more sitting on the couch checking my Myspace!

So, what's your New Year's Resolution?

Bitch

So, I'm a bitch.

I mean, yes, I have my bitchy moments. I'm gay - it's expected of me. But, it's not like I'm a bitch ALL the time.

Still, I get called a bitch. Or told I need to be nice.

I am! Do you know how many squabbles I've fixed at work?

And ya, I haven't been "insanely happy" Casey lately. I have some things that I am dealing with, and they are the kinda things that make you wanna smile and be social.

Does that make me a bitch?

Ok, enough of me bitching.

Brokeback Wallet

Ok, I hate the holidays.

Sure, Santa brought some fun things. But that asshole wiped out my bank account!

Actually, I can't blame Santa. It's everything. I mean, honestly - I haven't done ANYTHING lately. I work, I eat, I go to bed. That's it.

And still, I have NO money! Where does it go?

UGH!

A Christmas Miracle!

Merry Christmas!

Hit the showers...

I'd love to. :)

Caption this!

Circles...

So ya - this is what life kinda feels like at the moment. I've been feeling like this a lot lately. Just not really sure where life's headed - not sure if I'm on the right path - not sure if I'm making the right decisions - not sure what's going to happen next.

And ususally, that's ok for me. I kinda like the uncertainty of life. Kinda going with the flow.

But not lately. I've been craving stability lately.

I'm totally getting old.

New Tattoo...

So, I'm thinking of getting another tattoo.

What do we think of this?

I'm not really sure where I want it. I was thinking my hip. Hmm?

Please leave your comments and concerns!

Shhhh .... silence is golden!

I'm so over people running their mouths!

You know, I've been known to talk bad about people. I'll admit it.

But, it just seems lately that people can't keep their mouths shut.

So people ... mind your own business.

Oh, and if you do have a problem with someone, I'd suggest bringing it up with THAT person, instead of telling everyone else first.

Jeez!

I'm a slave!

So yah, I'm a slave...

To Starbucks!

So, I've been promoted to a shift supervisor. YEAH ME! Yah, so I'm all in charge and shit - which is cool.

But it's STRESSFUL! I'm always running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, and the extra responsibility makes my pretty little head hurt sometimes.

But, it's fun! And it's more money! So, HOLLA!

So, that's why I haven't been blogging .... I've been at work. :)
