Alright, let’s talk about this Clay’s watch thing from that Sons of Anarchy show. I watched it, you know, on the TV. That Clay guy, always wearin’ a fancy watch.
What kind of watch did Clay wear?
Well, they say it’s a Rolex. A gold one. A Day-Date, they call it. Fancy, huh? Like somethin’ a rich fella would wear. Not somethin’ you’d see ’round here, that’s for sure. We got mostly Timex watches, if we got any watches at all.
- Gold, that’s what it was.
- Big face, easy to see, even for an old lady like me.
- Probably cost a pretty penny. More money than I see in a year, I betcha.
Why’s this watch important, you ask?
Well, in the show, it kinda shows how big of a shot Clay was. He was the president of that motorcycle club, see? And a fancy watch, it just tells everyone, “Hey, look at me, I’m important.” It’s like a rooster crowin’, showin’ off. Same thing, just with gold and a tick-tock sound instead of a cock-a-doodle-doo.
But this Clay fella, he wasn’t always a good guy. He got mixed up in some bad business. Drugs and such. And that watch, it kinda became a symbol of that too. You know, how fancy things can sometimes hide bad stuff. Like a shiny apple with a worm inside.
I remember one time, they showed him gettin’ shots in his hands. Said he had somethin’ wrong with ’em. Arthritis, maybe? I got arthritis too, in my knees. Hurts somethin’ fierce sometimes. But I ain’t got no fancy doctor givin’ me shots and I sure don’t have no gold Rolex watch.
They said on that show that Clay got kicked outta that club. Lost his power, lost his fancy watch. See, that’s what happens when you do wrong. You lose it all. The fancy stuff don’t mean nothin’ in the end. It’s what’s in your heart that matters. That’s what my mama always told me, anyways.
And that actor, Ron Perlman, he played Clay real good. Made ya believe he was that tough guy, wearin’ that gold watch. But it was just a show, you know? Make-believe. Like them stories they tell on the radio sometimes. Entertainin’, but not real life.
So, this Clay’s watch, what does it all mean? I guess it means different things to different folks. To some, it’s just a shiny thing. To others, it’s a sign of power. And to me, well, it’s just a reminder that fancy things don’t make you a good person. It’s how you treat people, that’s what counts. And maybe, just maybe, it’s a reminder that even tough guys get old and their hands start hurtin’. Just like the rest of us.
That’s what I think about Clay’s watch, anyway. It was shiny, it was fancy, but it wasn’t worth a whole heap of beans when it came down to it. Just like a lot of things in this world, I reckon.
The whole Sons of Anarchy show, it was somethin’ else, wasn’t it? All that fightin’ and ridin’ motorcycles. Reminded me a bit of them boys down the road, always tinkerin’ with their bikes. Though they ain’t got no gold watches, that’s for sure. And they ain’t gettin’ into near as much trouble, thank the Lord.
Anyways, that’s my take on it. Clay’s watch, the show, the whole shebang. Just a bunch of folks tryin’ to get by, some with fancy watches and some without. Just like life, I guess.
And that Gemma, Clay’s wife in the show? She was a piece of work, let me tell ya. Always stirrin’ up trouble. Reminded me a bit of my old neighbor, always gossipin’ and causing a ruckus. But that’s a story for another day, I reckon.
So, there you have it. My thoughts on Clay’s watch and all that. Hope it made some sense. Sometimes my old brain gets a little jumbled up, you know? But I try my best.
I watched the show from beginning to end, I did. Even when it got real sad and folks started dyin’. It was like watchin’ a train wreck, you couldn’t look away. And that Clay, he was right in the middle of it all, with that gold watch glintin’ in the sun. A shiny reminder that trouble’s always lurkin’ around the corner, even for folks with fancy things.
