Had a interesting question that some one ask me at work last week.

Hi, How is my fellow Claymates doing? I’m fine wish it get warm in Kentucky down right cold here and going to get colder too. Other than that good. I being watching Idol this year like I always do the talent is okay so far but not as good as season 2 by a long shot.

Now on my topic and this topic is kind of interesting that I wanted to share to everybody in this club. The past couple of weeks they bring me a new guy to cross train at my job (the other I had went to days shift kind of glad he did he sort of made me do all of the work plus he was a smartack young guy and we hardly ever talk much he always talk about cars a lot and believe me I don’t know nothing about cars unless its Nascar cars I’m serious Nascar cars I do know a bit on it) he was over here a bit before but he wasn’t over there. We talk a lot while we do our job its makes the night go by quickly too and we talk about all sorts of stuff.

Okay Ldr223 get to the point one night he ask me why I like Clay Aiken so much (yes he know I never met him either) do you like the idea of Clay Aiken or The Man. I took a bit to think about how to answer this but I told him I like to meet him to get to know him for himself. To ask him how he is doing and his mom and the foundation and his charity work too. I just want to know him for him. I also want to tell him how much his foundation means something to me too I put my hand on my heart when I told him this I was sort of tearing up too because I probably get tear up when I do meet Clay and tell him my story (I didn’t tell him about me having a speech and learning disability when I was younger so I can relate to Clay foundation) . I also told him that after I meet him I go meet Dale Jr., and tell him how much he mean to me too (Dale Jr., special to me but in a different way from Clay). He told me that is neat it comes from your heart on if you meet him about that and we change the subject.

I thought about that topic after that night being on my mind a lot after that mostly that is a first time someone ask me if I want to meet Clay for the man or the idea. Oh sure I had people ask me why I want to meet Clay Aiken all of us had being ask that before but his way was different. I know people has meet Clay but wonder if they meet him for him or the idea of the man makes me wonder about that. If I ever meet Clay in which I hope I do I want to meet him for him self not the idea of the man because to me Clay is like all of us and most of all he doing what he loves on what ever he does. I hardly hear him do something then later he hated doing it. I also want to say sometimes I don’t agree with Clay (yes there is a few things I don’t agree with Clay on what he does) but I still love him for what he is.

I also want to said this before I go about how much Clay has affect me in my life despite his foundation that in the over the past 5 years Clay has help me out so much that he don’t know at all. He help me thur rough times in my life especially when my grandfather died this past Sept. my family and Clay help me thur this because I didn’t have no friends (online or offline) to help me thur this and the friend that I did had at work now didn’t come to the funeral at all so in my book that is not a good friend too me. It took me a month to get back in normal in my life because I was a mess when he died. I also meet a good friend after I got my life back to normal too and she being a good friend too me (Thanks to BeckySue for being a good friend too me). He also help me thur my 10 year high school reunion because believe it or not I thought of Clay thur out this reunion. I thought in my mind Clay would want you hear I kept repeating that because I didn’t have no one to go with me on my high school reunion. I even talk to Clay because I went to his concert before my high school reunion. If I go to my 20 year high school reunion I probably think of Clay again because he did help me out on that. All in all Clay help me out a lot in the past 5 years that I know him in big and small ways. That is why I want to meet the man himself and not the idea one bit.

I let everybody go and have a good week in what ever you are doing. Take care my fellow Claymates, :)
