News is slow these days.....jus' sayin'

Hey yall.....got my computer back, and still there's just not much news going on out there!  The weather is so perfect in Texas.....just wish it would stay in the 60's and 70's all year round!  I'm so comfortable right now! :)


Well, it looks as though another James family member was getting their hair styled by the 'now famous' Gino in Ft. Worth!  Seems Billy needed a trim as well as Casey the other day!  So Gino....being the good person he is.....graces his facebook page with the photos he got of BC while he was there!  And....the first thing I noticed was not that his hair is growing out.....but that he seems more buff theses days.... maybe doing a little working out....maybe??  There were several other people who thought the same thing.  Anyway, here's the pics that Gino took....

Poor Gino was having allergy problems that day and his little eye looks lazy.....but he assured us it's just allergies!!  Hope he's feeling better now!  Thanks so much, Gino, for these excellent shots!!


Ok, well, I'm going to run up to Dallas over the weekend, and see my other boy, Bucky!!!  Got my Meet and Greet on Monday!!!  So I'm good to go, just gotta pack a bag and get some gas!!  I've invited alot of people to come to the FREE show, and alot had made plans, but slowly but surely seems like most of them had things that came up that kept them from coming!  Dang it anyway!!  Oh well, he'll be back in a year or two!!  Ha ha!!  Thats about all  the sooner he gets to Texas....not often!!  

I'm going to try to post a video I got of him earlier this year, and most of you might be surprised to find out that Bucky "rocks" a "Pink Floyd" tune!!!  Southern Rock style!!  So if it will load.....here it is:

Bucky in Birmingham Alabama 2/9/10

When I get back from my show on Sunday, I will try to set down and do a total recap for yall!!  This will have to do until I can get to another Casey show!!  I hope Casey and Bucky meet soon, I just know Bucky would really like Casey's personality!!  I'm gonna urge him to look him up and invite him out to his farm, and show him a little hospitality, since Casey's the new kid in town!!  They got the 4 wheelers, dirt bikes, ponds, and a brick thing they use like a fireplace outside.  I can't think of what they're called, but you can roast marshmallows and weiners and such on it!  It's like an open fire, but more safe, I think.  Anyway, Casey would have alot of fun with Bucky and his group out there!  I think the 'Kings of Leon' guys live down the road from him.....maybe they could all hook up and play some music by the fire!    And what I'd give to be a fly on the wall for that one!!  Ha ha ha!!  Well, I guess I can wish can't I?? :)


Here's another one of my favorite Casey shots.....just because......
It's the only shot I've ever seen his hair blow dried out straight.....and it still looks awesome!!  Great hair.....just can never look bad.....no matter what! :)

Ok, yall....I'm heading out for now, I'll be back on Sunday and let yall know what Bucky said about Casey!!  I'll have some pics and videos for ya too!!  See ya then......take care.......

Here's a little 'sumtin' special for yall.....A photo shoot done at AI that I didn't know about till I saw this.......love it!!!!  Cool huh???  Sometimes I wish it would stop though..... :)  Later!!

Hey y'all, I wanted to come by and let y'all know my computer is in the shop getting yet another screen put on it!  this is getting old fast!! So I'm just on my phone, and I can't do a full post with my phone cause I can't figure out how to post some stuff
I don't even know how to get my bold lettering back...I think I might could post a link but I can't post pictures, can't figure it out! So y'all check back Thursday sometime and I'll try to have something awesome to talk about!!

Ok, we're getting some participation in the Casey Christmas Card Exchange but I wish more would do this! We only have about 15 doing it right now, and at this time you'll spend about 7 or 8 bucks on postage! Small price for so much enjoyment!!! If any of you would like to join in just send me an email to.... CEJblues10@gmail.com
With your address telling me you want in and I will send you a confirmation email telling you I've added you to the list!!

Ok, I'll be back with y'all in a couple days!! Take care everybody, and remember to keep the James family in your prayers!
Until next time.... smile...(make people wonder what you've been up to) 

Hilarious Halloween Pics....

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Although many of you celebrated last night, today is actually Halloween, so I will post accordingly! :)  There was some partying going on last night around the country, and Fort Worth, Texas was no exception!  Casey's hair stylist, Gino, became a photographer for the evening at the party he was attending!  Well, I'm here to tell you, if he ever gets bored with hair (probably not...) he would be a great photographer!!  I'll post a couple of the shots he got!

Check out this couple......look familiar?   Yep.....it's Casey and a Crazed Fan!!!  That's what Gino called it....a crazy fan....ok, now I know....we're all crazy! :) Ha ha!  Don't they look the part?!  Gotta love it!!!!!

 

  And here's Gino with lots of blonde hair!!  All joking aside....I actually like it.....please don't slay me Gino!! :)

Thanks so much Gino for sharing your Halloween Party Pics!!  They're great!!!

  The Key's Lounge was also a Party scene in Ft. Worth last night!  When I got off work, I mozzied on over to have a drink and check out all the costumes!  It was a blast, even though I was only there about an hour and a half, there was great fun going on!!  Here's a picture of the Hippies, and you might recognize a couple faces in this picture!  Yep, it's Dawna and Doug, who are big Casey fans!!

Thanks to the Key's Lounge on Facebook for posting this cool shot!!

Ok now.....I had almost forgot about this video!  This is perfect for Halloween!!  Remember......there's a short clip of the Ford Fiesta commercial at the beginning, then it's the Awesome Mustang Commercial, starring......Casey James....and the others!  Enjoy!!


"Casey and the others.....as Vampires" 

Theres a shot of Casey, taken from that video that still, to this day, is one of the sexiest I've ever seen of him!  I usually don't say that word.....well, because "It's all about the music", but sometimes, more times than I care to share.....there comes that photo that is just mesmerizing!  And this is just one of them>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And this one's not bad either......a little blurry, but I can see past that.....;)

 He could very well play the part of a vampire and pull it off as good as any!!  Hmmm....maybe someday we'll get to see him on the silver screen.....who knows!?!

Well, yall have a great Halloween....if your celebrating today!  And remember.....always be safe with your 'young uns' and check their candy.....you can do that by eating it first.....Hahahaha!!!  It's a good thing I don't have little ones, cause I can hardly contain myself when I smell Halloween candy!!! 
 

Yall have fun, see ya later.....

Casey Fans Christmas Card Exchange 2010 & other news and pictures....

Well....hello again yall!!  Yep, I'm back for the 2nd day in a row!!  I told all of you yesterday, I'd be back in a couple days because I had to work Friday and Saturday.....but.....the boss called and said to take the day off because......well.....because I really don't know.  It had something to do with the money or something.....anyway, here I am again!!


After yesterday's new pictures of Casey, supplied to us by his hair stylist, Gino (thanks again sweetie) I feel like anything I say today, won't even remotely compare.....but I'm going to try anyway!!

I wanted to remind everybody again about the "Christmas Card Exchange".  This is so much fun to do, and you get Cards from all over the world, that is......when we can get our international fans on board!  I haven't received but a handful of people wanting in on it, and I know we have more Casey fans than that!  This is something so fun, and if you ever do it once, you'll want to repeat it year after year!!  Just send me an email  to  CEJblues10@gmail.com  and tell me you would love to be in on the Christmas Card Exchange, and include your mailing address and I will send you a confirmation email letting you know that I received your request and you will be put on the list!   December the 1st is the deadline to get your name and address to me, and at that time I will send out to each person on the list a copy of the list and check your name and address to make sure everything is right.  If it is, you don't have to do anything, but if it is wrong, please email me back and make corrections.  As soon as you get the list, you can start sending out your cards to everyone on the list and you'll start recieving all of yours!  It's so fun to go to the mailbox and wonder where in  the world you got a card from that day!!  It's amazing fun!!  I'm asking also, that everybody get creative and make your card, your own.  You can actually make your own cards at several places, but I like Snapfish.com  You can do all kinds of neat stuff with their card maker!!  And if you want to, you can include a favorite picture of yourself and Casey or just Casey or just you.....it's all up to you, however you want to do it!  And if you just want to send out traditional Christmas Cards, then that's ok too!!  It's just cool when everybody throws in their own little touch!!  So get those emails to me Casey Fans, this is going to be a blast!!
It seems Debra was also snapping pictures while Casey was home for a few days!  Remember I told yall that Casey raked his PaPaw's yard?  Well.......seems Momma James got a picture of it!  Check this out!!

That boy just cannot take a bad picture.....no way!!!  He even looks awesome raking the lawn!!


Here is another that is just too sweet......

Ha ha ha!!  I'm just trying to figure out exactly what he's doing here.....holding a tree limb for sure, but why is he bent over like that, and what's that in his hand?!  Any ideas yall?
PaPaw looks good in Red!  What a sweet looking man.....yall keep praying for him now, ok?

Great Big Thanks going out to Debra for these awesome shots!  Thank you so much!!

Well.....it seems Caseymania has once again been nominated for "Best Fansite"!!  I'm so honored, and thank yall so much for the 3rd place a little while back!  But someone has my name wrong.....it's almost right......it does start with a 'J'......but the last name is Jordon not Jackson....hahaha!  If yall would like to cast your vote every 20 minutes (haha) here's the link>>>>>> "Faxo's Best Fan Site"
Thanks so much for this!!  I just love yall for it!!!

I'll be back in a little bit........

Well, it looks like everybody is getting ready for Halloween!  I hate to say it, but I just don't get into it anymore.  I have no little kids, I live 10 miles out in the middle of nowhere.....(close to bfe)....so there's not a snowballs chance in hell a kid is gonna come knocking at my door after dark.....ain't happening.  :D
So....I just don't do all the decorating and stuff like I used to.  I dressed up every Halloween and took my boy trick or treating till he was 13.....it was always so fun!!  I think I might have had more fun than him, cause I actually got away with trick or treating & getting candy and the whole 9 yards!!  I know, I kinda feel bad about it.....not!!  Hahahaha!!  Thats just me, I don't want to grow up, I might get old....hehehe!!
The last time I wore a costume, I was 41 and I was invited to a Adult Halloween Party.  So I went as a Gypsy!  Back then, I had the abs to rock that low riding skirt, crop top, and all!  I actually had fun with it.  I hadn't done it in like 10 years, so it was good to dress up again.....but I sure did miss the trick or treating part.....my friends thought I was nuts when I said, "Aren't we going trick or treating, where's your candy bags?"    They were like......ummm No.....we are NOT going trick or treating......are you serious???  ummm you're how old?!!!!  Ha ha ha!!  They actually thought I was serious for a minute!!



And for those of you who *L*O*V*E Halloween.......I'll leave you with this gorgeous but scary Vampire......HAPPY HOOOOWWWLLOWEEEENNNN!!!!!!

 I probably will be working tomorrow night, so yall have a fantastic Halloween, be careful while out and about with your kidos, and I'll catch yall in a couple days!
Until next time......

Casey James gets his hair cut......and other news

Hey everybody!  Hope everyone has been having a good day!  Mine was wonderful!  I just got off the phone with none other than Casey's momma!  She is just so sweet, I love talking to her!  She's been going 90 miles an hour for quite a while now, and I wish with all my heart she wasn't having to go through all she's going through.  Her job is very busy all day and then she has to check on her ailing father after she gets off.  To be honest with you, I don't know how she does it!  It blows my mind, the strength of this woman!  I have so much respect for her!  She hangs on and never gives up, and keeps chugging along!  Sometimes, a busy life is good to keep your mind off the things that would be breaking you down if you weren't totally busy all the time!  And lord knows she has enough on her plate right now to take down anybody!  Yall keep her and the whole James family in your prayers that they have strength to carry on through Papaws illness.  And also that God have mercy on him and keep his pain at a minimal.  Debra told me that his pain level was manageable at this time, and I was so relieved to hear that!  So all the prayer warriors out there, yall keep it up, he's doing ok for now.
As most of you know, Casey has been in Fort Worth the last few days to visit with family.  He got to spend 2 1/2 days visiting with PaPaw!  And he even raked his yard for him!  There's just so much love in that family my heart is always warmed by something or another with them.....hmmmm  It also confirms that Casey is still Casey.....the same person that drove to Denver to audition for AI last year.....and.....as he calls himself......he's still......'just some dude'.  I know in my heart that Casey will never get above his raising.  Now....I think that is a southern term, and for those who may not know, it means, like having a big head about his success and conceited, or above the way he was as a child growing up in Fort Worth.   We all know he is not that way, and he tries to still conduct himself as a 'normal' individual.  His life is anything but normal now, but it's good to know he will stay grounded and never act as if he's better than anyone else, regardless of how popular he becomes in the next few years!


Another thing Casey did while at home in Fort Worth, was to visit his hair stylist, Gino.  Yep, he got a haircut!  But don't worry,  Gino knows what he's doing with Casey's mane, he's the one who suggested he grow it out in the first place.  He has also maintained it since the beginning.  Although someone in Nashville (I'm assuming someone with BNA) had suggested he get his hair cut there in Nashville, Casey adamantly refused, saying his hair stylist was Gino, in Texas.  Just another testament to the loyalty of Casey to the people in his life!  While there getting his mane cut and his beard trimmed up, Gino did us all a huge favor and decided to click away with his camera.  He proceeded to post those pictures on his facebook page and gave me permission to use them here!!  So....without further ado......

Casey, as he looked walking into Gino's Salon.....

 

And..... Casey, after Gino worked on him!  Why didn't he take his hat off, I ask??  The only difference I can see is cool shades and a shorter, shaped up beard.  Still, he looks handsome as ever....

 
  



 






And last.....but certainly not least.....Casey and my new favorite stylist.....Gino!  Thanks a bunch for the photos Gino....your the best!!

Ok....now it's time for me to eat crow!!!  I posted a couple days ago that Billy had actually moved to Nashville with Casey.  Well.....(mumbling now....) that's not exactly true..... I was informed by Debra earlier that Billy is NOT in Nashville yet, but they are hoping he will be soon.  So, we all can stop congratulating him now for something that hasn't happened yet!  :)  :D  lol!!
I bet he was thinking.....'where do these people get their information?'  I totally apologize for posting something that was not a fact.  But I guess that could happen to anybody, but it still don't make me feel any better!  At least everything I'm posting tonight is the (*raising right hand now*) 'whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help me God'!!  :D


 Gino was also gracious enough to give us a little information about Casey.  He was there in Gino's shop about 3 hours, visiting and getting his grooming on!! :)  When he left the shop he was headed back to Nashville, to resume life as a recording artist!  He also said that Casey was doing his first Photo Shoot for BNA on Tuesday!!  Yall know what that means, right??  It probably means that they are beginning to start marketing him, getting his face out there and advertise him as BNA's newest artist!!  So yall start looking for new shots to be popping up soon!!!  I can't wait to see them!!  If he's already hired a publicist, he/she will be working on getting him in magazines and TV shows and such.  It won't be long now!  I so wish we could hear his first single off the album before the end of the year..... but I think his label is not rushing into anything, so probably not.  But I'm crossing my fingers anyway!!  I think they want to get this first album as perfect as they can get it!  At this time Casey is still writing, and with some very 'known' writers is all I can say and probably listening to lots of songs to possibly put on the album.  I just want Casey to be happy....no...ecstatic with his first album, because there's never going to be another 1st album.  And if it takes longer than I can bare.....then so be it.....we'll just have to wait a little longer!  But I have a feeling that the wait is going to be well worth it!!!

The other day, one of Casey's fans from Australia sent me a picture I had never seen!  She said it was floating around the web.....well, it never floated into my view.....I most definitely would have remembered this shot!!  Take a look......

Is that a great picture or what??  I know I have never seen that, but it does look like it could be from when he was on AI.  The bad thing is......she didn't know who the original owner of the shot is, so I'll remedy that, the way I always do......

A great big THANK YOU to Drew from 'down under' for sending me this beautiful shot!  And thanks to Anonymous for taking this picture!!  If it's yours, please come forward!

Well, tomorrow I have to go back to work for a couple of days, but I'll be back probably Sunday if not before!  Take care yall.....


Until next time......
