Inspired by a true story. Everything Clayburn. These posts are about Clayburn and those things in his life.
Those of you who know me know that I’m not a fan of doing things. So, my behavior last night was greatly out of character. It was brought about by a gentleman’s agreement between myself and a co-worker. Sam, a paid search specialist, would often suggest I go out to strip clubs. I would decline and counter-suggest he go to a Broadway musical. So, we struck a deal that one night in the near future I would treat him to a musical and he would….
The Internet has corrupted and destroyed much. Perhaps the most unfortunate consequence of our information superhighway is the loss of a once great art form. I’m of course referring to stalking. In the days of old, being a stalker meant something. It took patience, skills and sometimes lock-picking. That was a time when privacy was a thing, something new generations who are born with a Facebook account will never know. Now anyone and everyone is a stalker. The definition has become loose, and the mere….
Socrates said that the unexamined life isn’t worth living. I’m not a fan of the guy myself, but this idea has always intrigued me. I may not be interpreting it correctly since I’m not much of a reader. I don’t know where it came from or why he said it. And perhaps the context matters. But it doesn’t matter to me because I don’t care what Socrates thought about it. I care what I think, and I’ll tell you what I think. To me, to….
This blog post goes out to all you illiterate types out there. If this were a song, it would be your song. I’m not a big fan of books. It’s a matter of principle, really. They’re archaic. We have movies now. There’s simply no excuse to have to read something. Yes, I know. The typical argument for books is “You get so much more out of a book! That’s why the book version is always better than the movie version.” Well, that’s why God invented….
The Thanksgiving holiday has been getting me down. It’s depressing to see people thankful for things and not being truly thankful for anything myself. Thanksgiving is over, though, and today starts the Christmas season. I think I can take some comfort in that. Thanksgiving requires one to reflect on the joys of their lives. I don’t have joys. It’s not like my life is terrible, but there needs to be more. What I do have could probably make someone content, but I am not satisfied….
I despise all these self-centered surveys that float around blogs, bulletins and notes. But this one presented an intriguing challenge. So, here it goes. (The Beatles should be an easy one. I’d like to see someone go with ABBA.) Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on and include me. You can’t use the band/singer I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think! Repost as “My life according to (band/singer name).”
I’m currently working on my new website, http://www.clayburngriffin.com. So, I also decided that it was about time I update my blog. So, here is my new and improved blog. It’s still a work in progress, as is my website. Once I finish them up, I should start posting somewhat regularly here.
