2006-07-28 - 8:33 p.m. When I See Him Smile... I Eeeeeeee! He blogged twice today and gave us our first "specific hint" in regards to album content. It was offered up as a "thank you" to the "Claymates" who in one day donated $47,556.96 towards UNICEF's work with the children in Lebanon. That equates to 17% of the total monies donated to UNICEF towards this crisis. I wonder who donated the $6.96?... He went on to say how these donations would provide 195 emergency health kits for 194,906 people for 3 months as well as helping with education of 20,338 children with the gifts of 254 school-in-a-box kits. I'm gonna trust him on this one. I am SO proud to be a fan today... a "Claymate" as it were. And I guess just due to the fact that he finally feels comfortable saying that word ... it's probably the very least I can do to just try my best to be an AMAZING one... though I'm not gonna like it much... Anyway, if ya wanna channel teacher Clay and do the math, the donations equate to either one or a combination of the following: 4,756 "Claymates" donated $10 ea. 2,378 "Claymates" donated $20 ea. 953 "Claymates" donated $50 ea. 475 "Claymates" donated $100 ea. Keep in mind that the greater majority of his fans probably didn't donate just because they weren't able to, which is "absolutely cool." And those that did probably wouldn't have without his... inspiration... simply due to the fact that they most likely wouldn't have been aware of it. So my thoughts, any way that you calculate them, are that I don't really see a problem with him going triple platinum right off the bat this time. He said... "Holy Moly." He said... "I love you guys!" Geesh.. why does he always call us guys?... Technorati tags: Clay Aiken, Official Fan Club, UNICEF 0 comments so far previous - next
