Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

My name's Clay Holton, I'm 18 years old and I'm a senior at Hephzibah High. I have brown hair and brown eyes. I'm 5'10" and weigh around 140 pounds. I have two brothers, Logan my younger brother and Steve my older brother (half) that lives in Missouri.

I have an amazing girlfriend named Sarah Browning. I love her with all my heart, and she is the most awesome girl a guy could ever ask for.

I run Track and Cross Country for my school and I'm the only white boy on the team. Running is a major part of my life and I run everyday. It's not the only thing my life is about just about 90% percent of it. Running to me is like brushing your teeth, it's something you HAVE to do everyday. A lot of people ask me "Why do you run?", and there's really no simple answer to that. There's a lot really. 1.I never have to worry about what I eat or gaining weight 2.You get medals and trophies and stuff. 3rd and most importantly it shows you just how far you can push yourself. In most sports you have limits to what you can and cannot do, but in running you get out of it what you put into it. Like for example in middle school I could barely run a mile, but then I started running. I've been getting progressively better each year, and now I'm one of the best runners in Richmond County. I run a lot of 5K road races and I run the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m for track. I've even run the 4x4 once or twice. The farthest I've ever ran at one time is 18 miles, and the highest miles per week (mpw) I've ever had was 92. My personal records (PRs) are as follows: 10k: 34:48, 5k: 16:46, 3200m: 10:19, 1600m: 4:56, 800m: 2:17, and 400m: 59. Our school is pretty good at track and cross country(XC). We finished fourth last year in state for XC which is the best a Richmond County school has ever done. We also had four state qualifiers in track. I going to continue running after high school and college. I want to be that 80 year old man running marathons when it looks like he should drop dead any second.

I guess I'm a pretty good person. I don't talk much and I'm not really shy I just don't talk much. I am a Christian. I believe in God, I read The Bible and I try my best to be a good person. I go to Hephzibah Baptist church. Don't worry though I won't try to push my religion on you or anything. I care more about being a good person in general than being a Christian, even though I am one. I try to be friends with everyone, and I don't discriminate against people. I don't cuss and I haven't for a while now. If you ever hear me cuss you have permission to slap me in the face as hard as you can.(Crap, freaking and hell aren't cuss words). But flicking people off is ok, but I usually only do it when I'm playing around. I don't like accepting stuff from other people and don't like people going out of their way for me. I really don't care what people think about me. I know people say that all the time and usually the people that say that are the people that care the most, but I honestly don't.

I have created a system for measuring how good or evil someone is. The system itself has no definite name but it does have one untit. That unit is called the Hell Point. The more Hell Points you get the closer you are to becoming entirely evil. A this point when you die you will burn in Hell. Only two people can give out Hell Points. Those two people are myself, because I am a saint, and Andrew Wilsey, because he is the actual Devil. But anyone can receive Hell Points. There are certain degrees to Hell Points which I will now discuss. 5th Degree: Someone says something very mean that doesn't really cause anything to happen, such as saying "I wish Mrs. Strickland would just die". Cussing and small lies also fall under this degree. 4th degree: Saying something that causes something to happen or influences another person's thoughts or actions. An example of this would be telling these two girls in a lunch line that some other guy hates Jesus, when in fact he doesn't. 3rd Degree: Doing something that is pretty minor, but still evil, for example placing a used Sonic's cup in a trashcan at Wal-Mart that is meant for display, not for use. 2nd degree: Doing something very bad that causes some sort of real damage. An example of this would be getting your friend a zero on a major report because you copied it nearly word for word, and in turn causes your friend to get the only grade lower than a B on his report card for that entire year. Some more examples of this include hurting others (to some severity), stealing, and other such immoral acts. 1st degree: There are not many people that will reach this level of evil. At this degree you have to perform some of the most wicked, diabolical acts known to man. An example of this would be killing someone, paralyzing someone, raping someone, burning someone's house to the ground, or in fact commiting suicide. Let's hope the 1st Degree Hell point will never be used. If there is any speculation to whcih level of Hell point a person should receive, you must reach either myself or Andrew Wilsey. If however the argument is between myself and Andrew Wilsey, a third party must then be involved. I hope that after reading this you now have the knowledge to distinguish between Hell Points. I also hope that knowing this will help you control your urge to commit Hell points, and that it will also influence others to do the same. Also Andrew Wilsey will burn in Hell.

I love basketball. I watch it every chance I get and it's probably my favorite sport to play, next to running of course. I'm not real good or anything it's just something I like to do but when you're a 5'10" white guy that has an alright shot but no dribbles it's kinda hard to get too good anyway. i try to play like Rip Hamilton in that I move without the ball a lot because 99% of the time I have more endurance that the person guarding me. I can't dribble that well but if I have a team mate that understands how I play I can do pretty good. They're are planty of people out there that can beat me, but I guarantee half of them can't beat me at horse. In fact I'd put money on the line that no one reading this can. And I mean a real game of horse with real shots, not some of that behind the back, through the legs kind of junk. I try to root for my home state team, the Hawks, but it's kinda hard to when you look at their record for the past few years. I would also say that I'm a very competitive person. I don't care if it's the state track meet, a PE basketball game or a game of freaking tic-tac-toe, I want to win and I'm going to try my hardest to do that. I don't believe in the sayings, "It's just a game", or "Play for fun." because winning is the most important thing to me. I try not to get mad when I lose at anything though. I used to have a problem with that. I've broken my share of Nintendo and Playstation controllers when I was younger.

I'm going to be in a movie entitled "The Million Dollar Runner", which was written by Craig Burton and Kelcey Williams. It's about this poor kid that is trying to run his way into college by getting a scholarship. That's pretty much my life so the acting isn't that hard. This movie is on a hold right now, but we hope to someday get things going again.

I'm not very laid back at all and I'm always thinking about something. I'm a health freak and I pay a lot of attention to what I eat and do. I even write down everything I eat, how much I run, weight lifting and other stuff on a daily basis. I've been keeping a log of that since 2004. I'm one of those people you see looking on labels for nutrition facts and measuring stuff in cups to see how many calories I get out of it. I've been doing 100 pushups every day for over 2 years now and plan on continuing that. I also lift weights like 5 days a week.

I'm a very organized person but I'm not like some kind of clean freak or anything because I can get messy. I don't like procrastinating and when I say I'm gonna do something that means I'm gonna do it. I don't like liars and I don't like being lied to, especially when its about something that I know a lot about, like running. I'm an environmentalist or I guess you could call me a "tree hugger". I don't like littering and dislike seeing people do it.

No one can beat me at eating. Eating is one of my favorite things to do. Coming second only to running. I can be a picky eater though. But get a food I like, and I'll eat it all day. My CiCi's record is 19 slices (including crust). I love the feeling of being completely full. Full to the point that if you ate another bite you'd probably throw up or pass out. That's one of the best feelings in the world. I've only achieved this a few times my entire life. I want to get enough money so I can become supremely full on a daily basis. I'll never get fat though, because I run to much. But I still have a little stomach, but with as many miles as I run and as much as I work out, I worked just as hard to get that stomach as I did to get all my running medals. And that's pretty hard. I want to grow up to be like Takeru Kobayashi (That Japanese guy who ate all those hot dogs). He's a living legend in my book.

I stopped drinking sodas on April 15, 2004, you can blame Colonel Long for that, and plan on never drinking one again. I used be on Raider team and be in JROTC too. On Raider Team I was real good on PT and stuff. My bests are Pushups in 2 min: 95 / Situps in 2 min: 98 and my 2 mile 10:19. I got off of Raider team mostly because they didn't run enough and I was tired off working my butt off but still losing at competitions because no one else on the team worked as hard as me. I'm back in JROTC this year though.

I type in complete sentences even sometimes on instant messengers. I've just recently realized that I'm pretty good at writing poetry. I write about real things though, not that weird kinda shady stuff that says one thing and means entirely something else. If you want to read any of my poems their in my blog. I also have them posted up on several other sites including poetrywithmeaning.com and testriffic.com. I like all sorts of criticism, good or bad. So feel free to comment any of my poems and tell me what you think. Oh and by the way Craig Burton is not even close to being as good as me at writing poetry, The myspace poetry competition proves that. Clay-9 Craig-2.

I love dreaming I think I dream a lot more than the average person, well I mean I retain a lot more than the average person anyway. Ever since I had that nightmare about White Face I've written down (well typed really) every dream I've had, and the date on which I woke up from it. It's hard sometimes to remember every detail but I try. I hope to find out if there is a deeper meaning to my dreams.

I have a group of people who hate the big purple monster from McDonalds called The Grimace. If you want to join just send me a message or comment telling me and I'll add you. this list ha sbeen going on for quite a few years now, and I hope to get more and more as the years pass.

My email address is clay6618@yahoo.com. My AIM screen name is clay6618 if anyone wants to chat or anything. I got that Myspace IM too so that works too. I use clay6618 (or in one case clay66181) for pretty much everything I make an account for so if you see that screen name on anything there's a big chance that it's me.
