Disappointed, but he did raise $301,000 for NIP, got tons of exposure to people who now know more about him, made more celebrity friends, etc. It's all good! I'm happy he made it to the final two.

Didn't see Ben and Sean! Loved the duet and choir! Clay is looking and sounding mighty fine!

Hmmmm You think Dayana's a little bitter?

Really gonna miss seeing Clay on TV every week.....but am sooooo glad I won't have to see Aubrey or Lisa. Ugh!

Never heard of it either! Found it in an "urban dictionary". Really enjoying seeing Clay on my TV!

Had to look up "throwing shade". It means to talk trash about a friend or acquaintance or to disrespect.

just listening and smiling

I want to hear too! sits down and cries My iTunes download completed but it said I should do a cd backup, so I tried but it was taking too long. I cancelled backup but now it's taking forever to cancel the stupid backup. Aarrrrggghhh! I just wanta hear Clay!

HA! I wonder what he'll wear and what his hair will look like!? what hehe That's exactly what I was thinking! Just really excited to finally hear that voice again and of course, can't wait to see that smile.

Okay this one is much harder than the last one. #1 is one of my favorite pictures of Clay, but in #2 he has the stubble and just look at those eyes!

Clay's top hat on Ebay is now at $2800.00....a little out of my price range!

Can someone please tell me which videos show the guitarist? I've downloaded a bunch of different ones and they are all close-ups of Clay and show almost nothing else. Which of course is a good thing, but I also love seeing the reactions that musicians have when Clay is performing and the fans are reacting. Oh boy, there was a LOT of reactions during Everything I Don't Need. The look on his face during that song puts a big old smile on mine.

Tonight just makes me realize how much I've missed hearing Clay sing. I really, really, love hearing those growls in Everything I Don't Need, but that last song was just so perfect. :F_05BL17blowkiss: to Clay

Dang, I'm a puddle of goo. I love this song!

Now that was a LONG blog, but just perfect in tone. I've never understood why anyone thought Clay should apologize for "lying" to his fans. What he said was to a reporter who surprised him by asking something he shouldn't have. Clay was young, inexperienced and NOT READY to come out. At that point he hadn't even told his family, so it's kind of strange to think he would have acknowledged being gay to a strange reporter who was going to print what he said in a national magazine. Way to go Clay! Just want to give him a big ol hug. :thbighug-1:

BWAH Bottle! That was perfect and I loved it! :lmaosmiley-1: .....also agree that that fish looked baaaaaddddd!

Scarlett - No, I'm in the north central part of Texas about 25 miles from Oklahoma. I do hope everyone close to the gulf area will be safe. Hope you have a safe trip home! I love reading about your travels and the many adventures you and KAndre have had. You two are a blast! :F_05BL17blowkiss: And all I have left to say is....... :013085001176249046:

I love this! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

I just knew that I'd get home from work tonight and there would be a picture of Clay that someone would have taken last night. Also knew that if there was any taken that someone here would have found it, but guess it's not to be. Truthfully, I'd love to see a recent picture of Clay, but am glad that maybe he was able to go to Spamalot and see his friends without the reporters around bugging him.......at least I hope he didn't get bothered by any. Editing to say.....I love Falling!

Play - Glad to hear you didn't have any major damage to your home. I live about 50 miles from Wichita Falls and yes we do have tornadoes quite often in this area. I've seen quite a few and they are very scarey, but when there is a chance of a tornado we have people who go out and watch for signs of one forming so they can give an early warning. Thankfully a lot of times they form, but don't touch the ground. To all the smutters - Thanks for the lovely views you've given us tonight. Guess I'll sleep with a smile on my face!

Amen. (tm Bro. Maynard) <- - Think I'll add this little guy to the emoticon thread. Where is the emote thread? I have "a couple", I'd like to post. It's under the Fun, Fun, Fun......Photos, Photoshops, Emoticons thread Here's a link..... http://findingclayaiken.invisionzone.com/i...ic=413&st=0

I could never get into Sims. I bought the Sims 2 and it just seems like too much work...it's for creative peopel I guess. I played around with it for a day or two and then just let it collect dust on a shelf before I gave it to my neice. I love logic puzzles and sudoku. If you love logic puzzles have you tried the online picture puzzles from Conceptis? Have been doing these for a long while and love them and they're free! http://www.conceptispuzzles.com/index.aspx

It took me a while last night trying to catch up on all the news. You guys all had a lot to say! It was so late by then I didn't really know what to think about the "baby news". My first reaction is that it is totally untrue except for the fact that Jaymes is pregnant. What I can't get past is the idea of Clay wanting to have a baby with someone (no matter their age) in this way. I'm not talking about the artificial insemination, but that Clay would want to father a child that would essentially be raised by someone else. Yes, of course, he would be around, but unless he was living with Jaymes (or vice versa) he wouldn't be there on a daily basis. I don't know Clay personally and don't know anything really, but I do think that he would want to be a totally involved dad who would be there every day for his child. I just kind of think he's a lot more traditional than this and would want the whole wife, kids, all living together thing. If I'm just totally off my rocker....which wouldn't be unusual.....and the story is true, then I would be very happy for Clay. No stones thrown from me! I would love for him to be a daddy whenever and however he wanted. Just don't think there's much truth to this story! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Seeing your post reminded me that I had the same problem, so I went back just now to try to figure it out. Here's what I did....and I'm sure there is a simpler way. I have Windows XP - put cd/dvd in drive and go to My Computer right click on that drive click on Open double click on Start That opened up the This is the Night video screen and just click on Play. Hope this works for you or maybe someone can tell us another way to see it.

Thanks cha cha for the avatar info! I still can't get the gif I wanted to work, so I switched to a photo......at least I hope it works!
