Clinton's 30th Birthday Eulogy (see previous post)

This was written and performed by one of Clinton's friends (Dustin Porter) at his surprise party last week. 
**Please note:  Clinton is still alive and doing well.  This is a eulogy for his youth not his life!

"I think that it’s fair to say we will all miss the young version of Clinton that we’ve come to know and love. But what will remember most about him…
-Being sexy. Yes, I thought of this at first as well, but getting past his physical attractiveness I thought about how I’ll miss studying with him for ~10 hours and later walking away from the school having ~3 hours of work done.

-And those ear plugs that won’t be causing him anymore infections after repeated falls on the floor.

-I’ll miss learning all about what our brothers to the north have to offer.

-Getting emails of YouTube videos and not having to look at the name of the person who is sending them to me.

-I’ll miss knowing a twenty something year-old man who thinks that dressing down is khakis and a sweater.

-And that same well-dressed man knowing every line to every Simpson’s episode ever made.

In closing I would like to share a line from one of Clinton’s favorite artist’s songs, Rihanna. “You can stand under my arm forever.” (Clinton thought those were the lyrics instead of the actual ones "Under my Umbrella")

I’m not going to cry not even one tear because I know that young version of Clinton is in a place where he fits in… Hogwarts."

Thanks Dustin!!!

  2. I was thinking about Clinton the other day when I was on the airplane. I was browsing the SkyMall magazine to see how eccentric things were getting in there. I came across a universal remote control - that was a wand. Apparently different flicks of the wrist will change the channel or volume. I was going to get it for Clinton as a gag gift, but it was $89. Welcome to Hogwarts young Clinton!
