Been a very long time since I have been here.. and to be honest ..many things on the board kinda ran me off..I have always watched the blogs but going into the main board has been a challenge for me..I love, respect and support Mr. Aiken so much I have a very hard time reading some of the thing writen by his fans ..I know that everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I understand voicing your opinons.. but to force it in our faces over and over and come down on ones that don't agree. even though they are also entitled to their opinions as well .. I have had a hard time dealing with.. but finally I have made peace with it..and ignore is my favorite word now..cause Clay Aiken is so worth it..

This Man has been through so much in the last three plus years ..it just blows my mind.. I can only imagine what it does to him..a whole new world opened up for him on AI.. and every day since then has been a challange for him.. but his fans ..are here..in force...and in support.. and most of all love..for who he is ..not just a voice .. amazing voice I might add...but as a human being ..with a heart, feeling, desires and in his mind just an average guy..but he is indeed an average guy who has touched so many hearts..so many longing for a breath of fresh air.. so many longing for someone to stand up an fight for what is right and for himself..and he has..we admire you Mr. Aiken and respect the heck out of you.. you make us proud..and soon you will make the world proud..you will no longer belong to us .. but we are willing and wanting to set you free.. to fly..to educate..to explore the world..we know you will always come home .. to us..you have proven your roots is where you heart is..and our hearts are with you always
