News...

When I heard about the VT tragedy, I immediately thought about Clay. What he must be thinking and what's his thoughts about this massacre.

This thought lead me to think little bit deeper.

Clay goes out of his way (AND country, AND continent) to seek children with needs, to help them and ask the world to help them too. Though some of the news stations aired a little piece about Clay's visit to Afghanistan, it was never a big headline or a story that they air and talk about over and over again.

One psycho went out of his way to kill innocent people, he knew that it will be tomorrow's news and he made sure no one will forget him soon. He videotaped himself blabbing weird stuff, took weird pictures of himself, and made sure that these pictures and video will be sent to a news station.

Now I know it's news. I know people want to know. I know people are interested and are curious. But why in the world should we give power to a madman? Airing his video and pictures was a complete mistake. Describing it would do the job. No need to show the world what is hatred and violence. We know it's there. News stations should minimize to the lowest point possible the amount of publicity the killers get, and instead - focus on the victims. Make them heroes!

When one man is spreading love around the world and is doing good for the society, it's no big news, but when a man is spreading hate and doing bad – that's news for us?

Is it news? Maybe it is, but in a the news world, we are so used to the fact that villains are being elevated to a position of an anti-hero that we so love to analyze, maybe, just maybe, a REAL hero, like Clay and others like him, ARE THE BIG NEWS?

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of VT victims.

OK, so we all know that (most of) this year's AI contestants suck badly. Apparently Clay is not aware of how much (most of ) them are horrid. he refuses to watch the show. One of them sucks so bad, it became monstrous. I'm not even gonna say *its* awful name (I refer to this person as an "it", sorry).

So I thought to myself that next year should be all about Clay. I don't mind Clay competing against himself with 12 different outfits and looks. He always looks different anyways. This time he can't lose…

What is YOUR favorite Clay look? Which Clay would win the Claymerican Idol?

Faye, did you know That your baby boy will one day rule Claynation?

Boy oh boy...
The power of Claymates is like nothing i ever experienced.
Never in my life I've seen such a group of unites and unified people
filled with love and care for the others.
And we're all lead by one person like no other man on earth.
The world needs more people like Clay.
more people that like Clay.
more people like YOU guys.


Earlier i was wondering about the Afghanistan found raising and i thought that the association with Osama Bin Laden might be an obstacle, but I've been proven wrong.
We know that where clay points his finger - there should be an immediate help. And we help.

Reading the boards was so heartwarming. even people without means, searched every way to find money for the found raising. WOW X 100,000!


This is why i think claynation is an army:


The army of lovers!


I'm proud to be a Claynation warier!
Hugs to each and every one of you out there!
