About Me

My photo
Clayton here. Here is a little about me. My favorite color is orange. I wish everything in my life was orange. Including my car and phone. (R.I.P.) I love text messaging and don't really like talking on the phone. My favorite drink in the entire world is Dr. Pepper. I'm pretty sure God gave it to the world because he loves us. (Add a little coconut rum, it makes it even better. If that's even possible.) I work in Human Resources at a hotel in downtown SLC. I'm addicted to reality TV. Especially Survivor, American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. I love Mr. Potato Head, as you can probably tell. What else... Oh yeah I'm gay and have an AMAZING husband, Paul. ILY!!

Happy Halloween!!

Paul's favorite movie of all time is Nightmare Before Christmas so when we were trying to come up with an idea for two boys and a girl (Karri is hanging out with us) I thought of being Lock, Shock and Barrel, the 3 kids from the movie. I immediately went to work on creating our masks. And we all started putting together our costumes. My finished mask.
The tail is my favorite part. I will post pictures of all 3 of us once we all get together.

Where do you stand on Equality?


This post is prompted by a comment made by my cousin. I absolutely took no offense to the comment but I figured I would blog about my opinion. If you don't agree with me that's fine and you don't have to continue reading. But I am sharing my opinion. As you can tell from the image at the top of the page, I support Obama. In fact I already voted for him. (I know my vote doesn't count for much in Utah but I still did.) Paul and I had our ballots mailed to us early. We filled them out and mailed them in. My main reason for voting for Obama over McCain is because of the simple matter of Equality. I want a president that believes that all Americans should have equal rights. I don't understand why anyone would want it any other way. Frankly the opposition to equal rights is sickening to me. Think about how far our country has come since it was established. Blacks and women now have all the same rights as white men. Then why is it that two consenting adults are not being allowed to marry each other? Our country is not run by religious leaders or their feelings and religions (especially one in particular) have been persecuted and now they are persecuting another group of individuals simply because they don't agree with who they love. What is so wrong with loving another human being? That seems wrong to me and frankly I am glad I am no longer associated with an organization that asks it members to persecute others. Remember this is only my opinion and you don't have to like it or agree but I hope it makes you think.

MPH!!!

Karri spent some time in Disneyland last week and sent me this picture. She says its because she thought of me when she saw it but I think she was just rubbing in the fact that she went with out me. Either way I'm totally jealous that I haven't seen it yet. Paul, Karri and I are now officially planning to take a trip to Disneyland next spring. It will be so fun!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm trying to decide if I would get fired if someone walked by and saw me sleeping at work. I feel like my head could come crashing down on to my desk at any moment without warning. Maybe I should roll up my scarf and place it on the desk in front of me just incase my head comes tumbling down. Not only would it be softer than smacking my head on the desk but it would also muffle the sound of the THUD that would undoubtly accompany the descent of my head.

Picture Tagged

I was Picture Tagged by my friend Meagen. (I happen to be really excited that Meagan tagged me because I met her through my friend Holli that works at the hotel I used to work at. Meagen is Holli's sister and we only really know each other through Holli, and Brenda. So I like that Meagen thought to picture tag me.) Here's the deal, open your photos, open the 4th folder and upload the 4th picture with an explanation. Then tag 4 more people. This is a picture of my birthday present my parents gave me. Well part of my present. It has 2 stools that go with it. It sits on our patio and right now is draped with faux-spider webs courtesy of Paul. I tag Karri, Kimi, Kathy, and Amber. (Not that I don't love you Amber but another "K" name would have been cool. Too bad Kylie is in Arkansas.) :(

The Secret Life of Bees

As I mentioned on Friday, The Secret Life of Bees opened over the weekend. I got to go with Paul and Karri. It was a great movie. It is a crying movie so be prepared. (We were not considering none of us have read the book.) I even cried and I never cry at movies. I read a review that said that this movie follows the book very closely. So if you have reservations about seeing a movie based on a book, this one follows it pretty closely. I hope everyone goes to see the movie and really enjoys themselves.

The Secret Life of Bees

Jennifer Hudson's new movie is out today. The Secret Life of Bees is based on a best selling novel and stars Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Alicia Keys and of coarse Jennifer Hudson. I am very excited about seeing this movie. Maybe I'll go tomorrow morning and save a little money on the ticket.

Jensen

I figured I should let him have his own post since I deleted him from the other one. Gorgeous right?
