Well, somehow it has come to this. The Mighty Florida Gators versus the South Carolina Gamecocks for the SEC East title. Both teams at 4-3 in the conference and somehow still in it to, err ah, not lose it. The Ole Ball Coach has to beat his beloved Gators to become a coach who has won a title with 3 different schools - Duke & Florida are the others. Urban Meyer has to win to keep the winning

Alright, I have a new project site up for me to share my music with the world :)ElliottClifton.com is now live. It doesn't have a lot of content on it yet, but that will change over the next few months. I intend to add videos of my original music, as well as, covers of songs I enjoy playing. At the moment I only have cover tunes up for your listening pleasure. You can see my version of the Old

Well, it has been too long since I updated this blog. I like to tell myself I can't help it. I'm a busy guy after all. So much going on constantly, and then we get outside my brain & thought processes. In reality it all comes down to priorities. Some things just aren't high enough on the list to receive attention. I hate that. Regardless of my feelings it is a fact. There are only some many

Since I'm in the habit of keeping all my friends and family in the loop, I thought that I would take a moment and dial you in on one or more of my newly created projects. I know that it might not be the most exciting news that you'll ever hear, but I like sharing my web work with both of my web readers. Isn't that what a blog is for? I thought so. So here, we, go...Since I've recently gotten

Well, Thanksgiving is now over, and we are forced to realize the cold hard facts here at Loopness. We all ate too much, and overindulged until we could indulge no more. Then we woke up and did it all over again. Lots of sleep was needed to overcome the glorious day of excess. The damage to our cholesterol counts aside in the very back of our consciousness, it was a really great day. The cheescake

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! (to both of you who look at this blog) It crossed my mind that I'm a pretty poor blogger these days. At least, when it comes to blogging about generalities of my life here at loopness. I've been spending so much of my time working on Internet Marketing that my blogging efforts go towards my other thirty plus blogs rather than my first and oldest one. Like usual that

Just a real quick note here. I know that I haven't been updating my Loopness blog enough lately. I'm always so busy and behind it seems. I'll keep trying to get back and post more though. It's just that my other blogs consume so much of my time these days. Then when you add in the legal battle and trying to find time for friends and family, it just seems like there are never enough hours in a day

I knew it. OK, I didn't KNOW it, but I had one of those gut feelings that you get when you suspect someone or some entity is lying to you. In this case the Bush administration just decided that they knew better than everybody else - including our founding fathers - when they circumvented the law to fit their desires.Will anyone do anything about it? I mean something other than put a committee

Life is always in a constant state of flux. Things are always changing. Change is the ONLY constant I can find and that, my friends is truly ironic and possibly paradoxical.So we are forced to change just to survive. We should find, at this point in humankind's history, nothing at all shocking that the old axiom holds true - the more things change, the more they stay the same - that sameness is

As I work toward my goal of gaining financial freedom, I find that more and more challenges pop up each and every day. As I learn the tips & tricks - the snares & traps - the INs & OUTs of Internet Marketing, I learn that consistency is almost never something I encounter consistently.One of the first steps to having a successful website or blog is to write a solid, relevant content piece that

Things have changed since I last posted. I'm now a married man. Although things aren't all that different it feels really nice. All the days leading up to the wedding people would ask me questions like "Are you nervous?" or "Are you scared?". I kept telling them that I was excited but not nervous or scared. Even though it hasn't been quite a week yet and I know there are lots of challenges ahead,

Since my engagement things have been pretty busy, even without being employed. Note that I didn't say I wasn't working. I'm just not being paid for the work I do these days. At least, not yet. I hope this changes sometime soon. I put in applications every chance I get, even thought the idea of working for other people still doesn't feel right to me.The work for the wedding (it's in 10 days now)

Browsing around on the net turns up interesting things from time to time. Sometimes you find old friends. If you search for yourself the results can be rather eye opening. You never know what you might find. I know that I found my Internet footprint was much larger than I thought, hoped, or wished it would be.Sometimes you find little gems. I found a paper my late grandfather co-authored back in

Update, Updates, And Well More UpdatesI've discovered some new blogs that are kind of interesting, and "might" be worth checking out (see caveat below). I find blogs to be interesting in the main because they can be completely worthless or some of the best reading you will find, and of course the bulk of them is mired in mediocrity. These would be those. So unless you are interested in corner TV

I've been fairly busy in the last few weeks and haven't had a lot of time to focus on the game of poker that I enjoy so much. In fact, I've been on a period of hiatus to let my frustration of bad beats and donkish suckouts subside from my memory and more than that from my emotions. At some point, I'm sure I'll return to the tables again. I always do.As I was working on some of my web projects

So to keep everyone in the loopness of my life, there is a BIG update. As of February 22, 2009 I am engaged. That's right, on May 30 of this year I'm getting married to the love of my life. We're excited and looking forward to the wedding day with great anticipation.I'm not sure that I did a very good job of contacting everyone that needed to be contacted and I probably hurt feelings along the

I have some new projects I'm working on these days. It looks like there is a lot of blogging in my future. The Loopness is now complete. When I started this blog I was a learner, now I am, well, still a learner. But I think I am coming along very well for being interested in becoming an Internet marketer for no more than 6 days. Poker, especially No Limit Texas Hold'em has been a passion of mine

For the first time this week, I came to work with an inspired attitude. It had nothing to do with work or my first full week of workouts or my run at the poker tables (like I could be inspired by that pain). I wouldn't say that I had a paradigm shift really, more of a "right on" or "I should be doing that" sort of moment.I was listening to my mp3 player and a Steve Earle song came on. This isn't

This is my first post with a blog editor! I started using this new web browser that I really like called FLOCK and it has many features built right in. How cool is that? So I don't even have to go to my blog to post to it. Just a click of a button and I'm blogging away. Maybe this will help me to be more blogductive (productive+blog). It allows me to drag and drop pictures into my blog. Like this

Time is a Jet Plane; to quote a phraseThe one commodity in life that everyone needs most is the one we all have the least of - time. Almost everything else is replaceable, but our time on earth is limited. There will only be so much of it, and we each have to choose how we will spend what precious amount of it we have been alloted.I just took a week off from work and I feel like it was just

It's been so long since I've posted. It would appear that I am neglecting my blog, but that really isn't the case. Since I last updated the world on my goings on so much has happened.My business partner came up from Dallas and we finalized some projects and met with a web development firm. My sweetheart came up and visited for a while - which was wonderful. Then my great uncle passed away and I

Today my sweetheart and my business partner should be arriving in town for a week of business and pleasure. I'm totally stoked. The balance between business and pleasure is always a tough one to successfully strike. That is especially true wen you really enjoy those you are around and must conduct business with them. I'm confident that we will find that balance this week. If not, it will prove to

Anyone who would spend 1.7 million dollars on a car should have their head examined. I mean, don't you think? I think so. Say nothing of the company that would offer such a thing, but as a person I believe that is an unconscionable choice. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be able to reward ourselves for the hard work we have done. I'm not even saying that we should not have luxurious lifestyles.

I'm not doing very well on my commitment to my blog. I'm making strides in the correct direction, but I'm still failing. I hope to improve - in all areas of my life, really.I wish I was already there. I get frustrated too easily. I'm vicious with my words. I intimidate people. The funny thing is I don't see myself that way at all, but I see those things in myself and I'm forced to wonder how they

I find that I have addictions in my life - a lot of them. For me, most of the time, they don't last for long periods of time. I'll delve in to a subject, a food, an experience with all intensity for a short period of time, and then I'm on to the next addiction. For a while I was addicted to blogging. Once I was addicted to Martika (80's pop singer - Toy Soldiers). Well, now it would appear that

I'm convinced that time is a runner. We all see time as a distance runner because it is, however, it is also a very decent sprinter. Sure, it is constant, and doesn't appear very fast at the beginning, but when we get closer to the end time appears to pick up the pace at a breakneck pace. It even appears that we are running out of it.That is my excuse, anyway, for missing my daily commitment to

I've been told that commitment is good for the soul. In fact, someone tried to convince me once to get a tattoo because it would be good for my commitment issues. I'm not sure one can resolve what some consider to be a male gene by permanently affixing ink within ones skin, but at the time it was a compelling argument (if it wasn't I probably would have forgotten it). Some would say that 50% of

Apparently, I have this need to wait a full year or more in between posts.I love music. It is not only the background of our lives but a part of who we are and who we aspire to be - who we wish we were and who we wish we were with - and so much more and so much less. When I was working on the 2004 presidential campaign I became an acquainted with an artist who's music I just love. We had some

Blogging was fun, but due to recent changes in my life I no longer feel the need to express myself in an artistic form. I'm a dead man walking. I'm empty inside and there is nothing left to share. I'm not really convinced that I ever had anything of worth to share. The last thing I'll leave is this line from a Steve Earle song... There's no shelter from the storm Without the lightening and the

I'm back again to update the blog. Blogging for me is fun, and I like to be able to put my thought into a viable form that can be read. Blogs are great things. Sadly, I don't keep up with my blog as I should. I neglect it for days on end. I'm so unfair to the blog. I like to do things 100% or not at all, and as such I've decided to take down my loopness blog. I just can't spend the time on it

I'm off to St Louis today with my family to pick up my Grandma Meli from the airport. I usually shy away from trips like this (screaming kids, my sisters, etc) but as I was sleeping last night something came to me in my sleep. Lots of good ideas come to me in my sleep - you would think that I would sleep more :)I realized that there are casinos in St Louis and that I should get some much needed

Yes, I decided to update my blog two days in a row. A total shocker to me too. I thought that as long as I had some time on my hands I would go ahead and give my blog the updating attention that it deserves. I mean, I have neglected it quite a bit in the last few months. So here it goes...Things have been quiet for me since the election. I have been spending time with my family and friends before

Do you remember those stickers that were really popular in the 70s? You know, the one of the two naked kids on top of the world holding hands. At the top of the sticker it would say "Love is..." And then at the bottom of the sticker were various different answers to what "Love is..." Like some would say "Forever and Ever" or "Eating Chocolate" My last girlfriend gave me one that I still carry

Well, so much has happened since I last spoke to myself on this thing called a blog. I just haven't felt very bloggy as of late. Election day was a harsh blow to my psyche, and to be honest I don't really want to talk about it. Not much anyway. I have found that the Bush loyalists are as arrogant in victory as they were during the campaign. Some, and only some, of my family has been more tolerant

This news is now - old news. But it is still sad news. Ron Zook the head coach of the Florida Gator's football program has been fired effective at the end of the season.No, this isn't sad news because Zooker was a great football coach. It is sad because Ron Zook is a great man. He is not just "a class act", but "THE class act" from the University of Florida. He came in at a time when other

I didn't quite make my 10 day time frame for a new post. I may set myself a new goal to post everyday. It's just so hard to create something profound (which is the only kind of writing I really want to do) on a daily basis. Creativity isn't like a job. It requires thought and freedom, not a time frame. Art created in a time frame is usually somehow related to an attempt to get out or free of the

Well, it's been about 10 days so it must be time to update my blog :)This really is NOT a political blog, but these days my life is so interwound with politics and because this election is so important (they are all important, but this one especially so - until the next one) it becomes hard to ignore. And let's face it, I don't really have anything else to talk about. Except maybe poker. And who

I'm forcing myself to write an update because I feel that I'm shirking my blog responsibility by not posting more often. This is really a funny idea, considering that there are probably a sum total of one person who reads this blog - me. But on the outside chance that someone other than myself and a few stragglers (family, previous girlfriends, co-workers - totaling probably 2) will actually read

Well, it's been a while, a while too long since I've been here. I didn't post something on 9/11 even thought I probably should have. And I haven't posted anything since the last vigil I attended. Time has been such a commodity as of late. It always is. Even when you think it isn't. Even if you are blissfully unaware of it. Sort of like soybeans. They are a vital part of our economy, but how many

I have a new blog up and running. I think that it is really going to be good. It is more focused than this blog.

I rarely run out of things to say. Most days, I run out of time to say things. I must admit that I haven't been keeping up with posting on this blog as I should. Hey, I have been busy. Busy answering email, fixing Blackberrys, and posting on blogs. In fact you can see my post on the No More Apples blog here. It's more of a political forum, and since that's the workplace that I'm in these days I

How do you feel right now? Are you happy? Are you depressed? Do you find that it is hard to describe your feelings? When life throws you the inevitable curve or victory can you really describe how wonderful or painful it really is?

More than I'll be able to say for James Hudson who will be executed by the commonwealth of Virginia tonight at 9pm. From what I understand of the case, he is guilty of shooting three people in cold blood over a dispute about a driveway. He has given up his appeals and asked the

I have a sum total of one Blog post under my belt, and the thoughts of continuous posting are running wild through my brain this morning. Right now I'm attempting to post via my Blackberry device, as I walk to work (which explains the difference in font size and styles from other posts).I was just thinking that it's interesting how people move around the country.

In the beginning the Blogger created the Blog. And the Blog was without form and void. And darkness was upon the face of the page. And the spirit of Blog moved upon the face of the page. And the Blogger said let there be content: and with much typing and some thought there was content...I have to admit, I have a really hard time grasping the Blog concept. Mostly because it doesn't have strict, or
