Look.....I'm sorry, alright?!


Relax.


I hate taxes and I'm a little overcommitted for the time being. Sunny days are on the way and I hope to enjoy them.....so I gotta buckle down and take care of some shit now. New blogs will come.

How about the crazy fat man on the subway last night who proceeded to stuff his face with a large bag of wafer cookies, which were crumbling all over his lap, and then proceeded to bang on the chairs next to me in order to get my attention. I could hear him mumbling something about believing in the power of Christ through the breaks in song on my Ipod. How about I totally ignored him! But, what I really wanted to do was turn to him, take my head phone out of my ear and say, "Right, so you're crazy and I wan't want to talk to you." Instead I just stared staright ahead and imagined what it would be like to actually say something like that.

How about I'm in improv every week now and it's great?!

How about it?

Fuck.

What a Wackadoo!!!

That's me. A Wackadoo.

I haven't blogged on here in SO LONG because I am a crazy idiot with not a second to breathe.

Well, okay that's a bit dramatic. But, literally, I have been running around doing a lot of fun and exciting things lately! Ah, New York....I am completey immersed in you. To begin, there's always work, which is a never ending so not much is needed to be said about that. I'm a server. Yes. I've also been keeping up with my new gym regime with Billy. We joined in the last week of February and we've just completed our 4th solid week. I month at the gym, 6 days a week! I've been pumping ironing, running again, boxing every saturday, I had a pilates demo which really hurt, I've had a fitness evaluation and the physical fitness continues on tomorrow. A new week of gym extravaganzas.

I've also just started improv classes through the PIT. I've only had one class so far. Every tuesday from 7-10pm. The class was a big success! I have to tell you how nervous I was for it....all day at work before our first my apprehension continued to grow. The class, however, was all fun and games. Literally. Everyone in the class was great. We seem to have some performance chops in us and people really got up and gave it their all. I was very impressed and excited for more by the end. I'm looking forward to our next class this tuesday.

Also, NBC came to our Harvard Sailing Team show last night. We were a hit. They want us to perform in there NBC network showcase! AHHHHSHITFUCKDAMNIT! So cool. So, bascially it's just a matter of time before we have our own TV show. It's about time.

We just spent all day filming a short video for the Naked Angels festival in April. I don't mean to blow smoke up our own asses but we were pretty damn good today. The shoot was a hoot, if you will. I think it's going to look amazing. I cant' wait to see it.

That's it for now.

Oh, I'm getting a tattoo. Here's a picture of the lady now:



That's right. Rosie the Riveter. But, instead in the caption bubble it will say, "You Can Do It, Clayton!"

I promise to write more.

Forget me not.

Boxing


I boxed yesterday at the Gym.

I felt the rush.

I felt like a hunter....like a predator.....like an animal.

I felt alive.

I felt like the dominant species.

Victory.

Yesterday, I won the game.

So, this is what it feels like to be a man.

Nice.

Come Rain or Come Shine.

Im gonna love you like nobodys loved you come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me it was just one of those things
But dont ever bet me cause Im gonna be true if you let me

Youre gonna love me like nobodys loved me come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together and wont it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
Were in or were out of the money

But Im with you always, Im with you rain or shine

Im gonna love you like nobodys loved you come rain or come shine
High as a mountain deep as a river come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me it was just one of those things
But dont ever bet me cause Im gonna be true if you let me

Youre gonna love me like nobodys loved me come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together and wont it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
Were in or were out of the money.

But Ill love you always, Im with you rain or shine

A glass of Bloombergs finest!

I'm constantly asking people what kind of water they would prefer...."sparkling, tap or flat?" It's part of my job. I've done it a million times by this point, and I am constantly met with the response of, "we'll just take some of Bloombergs finest! HAR HAR HAR" or "I'll just have a glass of Bloomberg water." Funny. Real funny. I'm so over this joke. I die a little inside everytime I hear it....which is often. So, needless to say, I'm almost dead.

Now, what's going to happen when Bloomberg is not in office anymore? I mean, obviously people are just going to to tack on whatever new mayor's in office to the New York City water supply. But, what if the new mayor's name is something like Mayor Poop? Do you see the dilemma here? "I'll just have a glass of Poops finest." "Oh, I'll just have a glass of Poop water." "Poop water...you got any Poop water....I just love Poop water." Poop water, Poop water, Poop water! Mayor Poop.

God, I wish our next mayors name was Poop. That would be amazing.

Also, what if once Mayor Poop (or whoever) is in office, someone accidentally asks me for a glass of Bloombergs finest? Boy, will that be awkward. I'll have to say we're only serving Poop water now. Or maybe they won't be a fan of Mayor Poop so they'll expect me to go in search of a glass of Bloombergs finest.

Is Mayor Bloomberg going to have to start bottling his own brand of water after his term is up?

This is the place I'm in right now.

And this is how I feel when people tell me they want a glass of Bloomberg water.



I'm voting for Mayor Poop in the next election. He better run!

Not gay enough.


I have recently been wondering whether or not I'm a self hating homosexual.

I don't think I am. I love gay. But why do I lead such a heterosexual lifestyle?.....comparatively.

I mean, I'm gay. Come on. But I feel like I'm influenced too much by the straight world. Maybe it's because most of my friends are straight and we do alot of what you would deem to be "straight" activities. I mean, going to a bar isn't necessarily "straight" but that's my whole point. I'm always going out to the straight places. I never go out to gay bars. I never hang out with my people. I'm around my people constantly. I work with them, some of them come out with me to the straight bars and so forth, but that's about it.

Am I gay enough?

I've never been to fire island. That's gay, right?

What's gay?

I want to embrace my homosexuality more.

I have embraced my homosexuality fully....I take that back. Maybe I just want to be more familiar with the gay scene. In New York. Specifically. Since that's where I live.

Maybe I should just have a gay night with gay friends more often.

Anybody. Gay. What.

This is a gay blog.

The Harvard Sailing Team Goes to King of Prussia!


If there is one thing I've noticed about the Harvard Sailing Team and trips it would be this: the jokes that we will be repeating and expanding upon throughtout the entire trip occurr within the first five minutes of travel. It's really like a science. One person will say one thing silly and then everyone will repeat it, thinking it's funny and wanting to improve upon it in some way, and just like that, it's set. We'll be hearing about it for the rest of the weekend. This is by no means a bad thing.......merely an observation on my part. In fact, I rather enjoy it.

Examples of some these jokes from our most recent trip.

1. "Stones. We're going to see the Stones, YEAH!"
2. Jen and Billy's marriage.
3. Jen's pull string in which she can be heard to say some of the following catch phrases.
-"I'm Jen Curran and I'm fed up."
-"What, do I have to listen to this?"
-"Right."

I love when we travel.

Our show in Pennsylvania was a big success. Thank you Decker for everything. You're a real gem!
