THE RAMBLING STREAM (OF CONSCIOUSNESS)

[Sundancer]

A DANCE CLASS IN A STUDIO. TEACHER IN THE FRONT OF THE ROOM SURROUNDED BY MIRRORS. A LINE OF STUDENTS. BEYIONCE, MISSY, USHER, ALICIA ......................... AND CLAY.    WHAT AN IMAGE. TO BE "INVISIBLE" IN THAT ROOM.

He probably wanted to be.

[Her]

He probably wanted to be.

 

[forever_clay]

i still think "dance" "usher" and "clay aiken" in the same sentance is just too funny!!!

and yes, i am sure he would have liked to be invisible in that room as well!!

who knows...we might get some usher-fabulous-ish dance moves next tour!!! (hahahaha, right...clay and usher-fabulous-ish dance moves?? i'll stick to WDC, thank you!)

[tessie]

It is funny, but they were probably not all in the same room at the same time....

Teachers often organize their classes by skill level....some students are more advanced than others....

This is just a statement, everyone has to begin somewhere.

BELIEVE ME, CAROL, I AM QUITE SURE THEY WERE NOT IN THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME.  CLAY WOULD NEVER EMBARASS HIMSELF LIKE THAT.  IT WAS JUST AN IMAGE THAT CAME INTO MY EARLY MORNING BRAIN WHEN I WAS BRUSHING MY TEETH.  BUT IT IS A FUNNY ONE.

If Clay were to all of a sudden break it down with his bad self, I admit it would be a little disconcerting.  His awkward yet sexy-fun dancing style is his own, and it's endearing as well as flirtatious.  Knowing how he continuously makes jokes about not being able to dance, I was never sure how seriously he took himself.  I guess now we know he's serious, unless she just helped him come up with some "moves!"
I think he dances just fine. I hope he doesn't feel he needs to be like everyone else. His individuality - that's part of the charm for me.

But then it wouldn't be as much fun to imagine! Someone at the CH wrote a little skit about what such a "class" would be like---focusing on the women like Alicia Keyes and Brandi knocking each other down to be the one to practice Doves grindage moves with Clay once they see the size of his feet....

   

Bet they'd even agree to open for him after that....

WAS ANYONE SURPRISED BY WHO WAS CUT LAST NIGHT?  I CANNOT BLEIEVE SCOTT IS STILL THERE.  HE GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

BEEN LURKING AROUND.  NO IDEA WHY THIS ISABELLA CHICK IS CONSIDERED A TROLL BY CB ET AL.  I THOUGHT TROLLS WERE MEAN OR SOMETHING TO CLAY.  CLARIFICATION NEEDED.

ANOTHER RAMBLE.  THINKING BACK ONE YEAR.  I WAS SO BESIDE MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY CLAYGINITY IN A WEEK.  WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED WHAT WAS AHEAD?  HAD ONLY MET THE PHILLY GIRLS FOR A BRIEF COUPLE HOURS.  THOUGHT I WAS GONNA SEE CLAY ONLY THIS ONE TIME.  KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE FIRST ROW SEATS.  WHAT A YEAR THIS HAS BEEN.

GWENN

[lovinclay]

WHAT A YEAR IS RIGHT, GWENN!  CLAY MADE ME DO (WELL, OK, HE DIDN'T MAKE ME DO THEM) THINGS I NEVER, NEVER, EVER THOUGHT I'D DO.  I TRUGED (SP?) THRU MUD, SAT FOR HOURS IN A LIGHTENING MONSOON, SLEPT OUTSIDE ALL NIGHT, STOOD IN LINE FOR HOURS IN AC JUST TO COME AWAY EMPTY-HANDED, SAT ON MY COMPUTER FOR TWO HOURS TRYING TO GET TICKETS WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORKING (THANK GOD I STILL HAVE A JOB!), MET SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING WOMEN EVER, TRAVELED TO TIM-BUCK-TWO AND BACK.  WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?  IN A NEW YORK SECOND!!

THANK YOU, CLAY, FOR A WONDERFUL YEAR!!

[Marilyn]

DITTO- MICKI- I ONLY WISH I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!! ANOTHER 2004 WHIRLWIND!!

ONLY- THIS TIME, HAVING THE KNOWLEDGE BEFOREHAND AS TO WHAT TO EXPECT

AND NOT SETTLING FOR ANY SEATS PAST THE 5TH ROW!!

BRING IT ON!!

[tessie]

I CANNOT BLEIEVE SCOTT IS STILL THERE.

My early impression was that he had a good voice.  If is voice is great and he has a personality to match and if he wins the hearts of America with his performances then he will deserve the title of American Idol.


Time will tell.

Just for clarification, a troll is anyone who is not a regular member of a forum who shows up and posts anything with the intention of stirring things up.  Good or bad.  Good trolls, you just watch them.  Remember Claypac Shakur?     I miss Claypac actually, I wonder where his bad self be.  Probably gettin ghetto with a pretty blonde. Bad trolls, you must make them invisible. They hardly ever introduce themselves, they just show up and blast away.  Not good forum etiquette.

The reason the thread was originally locked was because they were trying to figure out who it was.  People were reminded of when "claythud" used to anonymously post little tidbits about Clay, and that "claythud" was really Fran Lewis.  Since the CB is so entrenched with the BAF now, that was not an allowed topic of conversation, so the thread was killed. It was later resurrected with those posts deleted.

When isabella6 came back, she was indignant about her thread being deleted.  Several people mentioned that if she would just reveal her identity, it would kill the drama and a fun conversation could take place. But she did not want to reveal her identity in relation to Clay, so things went bad as they so often do.

This is why even good-news trolls must be observed with a wary eye.  Too often, the true intentions are not to sling happy dust around but to agitate the masses.  Never a good thing, especially now while some people are a little *anxious* about missing their Clay!

[Her]

especially now while some people are a little *anxious* about missing their Clay!

a LITTLE anxious, I'm thinking oh masterful one you are incorrect with this one!!LOL---some of us are TOTALLY OVERWHELMINGLY anxious .

Thanks for the info Pamela, you're the best, if I've not said that lately!

I'm confused, Pamela, what exactly was not an allowed topic of conversation, and why.  Just asking, could you please explain.  Thanks!

[Clayforlife]

Pamela - thanks for clarifying and for the record....good definition of trolls and the reasons for shutting down threads.  I hope I didn't cause any grief here, cuz I originated the "Isabella6" conversation on this site.  Just thought it was interesting to say the least and with the Clay drought we got going on, a possible person "in the know" sounded worth discussing!

The topic of "claythud" being Fran Lewis.  She used to post as as unknown "insider" and talk about what was going on with Clay. She never identified herself and was finally outed as being Fran Lewis. No one really knew if she was speaking to fans with Clay's blessing or not, but she abruptly stopped posting when it came out who it was.

[Pamela]

I'm locking this thread.  Please visit the Soap Box to rant and Critical Mass to discuss Claaaaay.  Thank you, and goodnight Ramblin Stream.
