Wow!! nearly a whole month since i last wrote...

it's been super busy,, i feel like we should have been playing "Where in the World is Ryan Hagood" for the last few weeks.. nobody would have won.. I think i've slept a grand total of three whole nights in my own bed this month... the rest have been in Indianapolis, Eastland, San Angelo, and now Arlington Virginia..... which is about 2 miles from Washington D.C.


Washington D.C. is AMAZING by the way... for real.. I thought i would be half interested for the most part.. but i was wrong.. i've seen so much stuff here it's system overload.. the only downfall is that I am forced to get up at six am and board a tour bus every day of my vacation... lame... and stand in lines a lot...

I saw nancy pelosi... just a little side note there... and her entourage.. about ten people all talking on cell phones or tweeting or making sure people like me didn't bump shoulders with her.. all the while she was giving her little parade wave to us normal folk as she walked out of the house chamber...

i also got to sit in the balcony of the house chamber and watch our congress at work.. it was pretty weird actually.. nobody was doing anything.. they were all walking around socializing and then one guy would speak into a microphone and say the cause number that they were about to vote for, and they would all vote electronically from their personal desks and their votes would go up on the projecter.. all the while everyone was still socializing and tweeting and ordering lunch.... crazy stuff.



i have so much other stuff to write about... when will it all happen...

oh yeah,, before i go..

the white house was a total freak show.. there was one guy quoting bible verses into a megaphone in slam poetry style... really freaky.. another guy dancing while he sang into his megaphone..

but one old lady in particular. she had a whole little campsite set up across the street. complete with tent, umbrella, large signs, pictures, the works.. she was an old palestinian lady,,, the cops told me that she had been sitting in the same place since 1981.. if she were to leave the cops could take her campsite and she would have to obtain a permit to set up there, but since she was doing this exhibit before any law existed, she remains untouched... if she does leave someone else has to take her place momentarily until she gets back.. anyhow,, all her signs were protesting nuclear wars, and had pictures of people with injuries resulting from nuclear bombs... she was calling for us to stop sending money to israel, who is attacking palestine... all of which i know almost nothing about... what i do know for a FACT is,,, that it appeared as if a bomb went off in her mouth... she had about 3 interlocking teeth... all of which were about an inch and a half long... gross.. and she was wearing sandles... and on her right foot, her middle toe was on top of her big toe... i mean all the way on top of it... i couldn't believe it...

to make matters worse my step mom asked if she believed in Jesus.... you can imagine the bomb that went off in that court yard then.. she got all riled up and started saying Jesus wasn't divine because the Jews were able to kill him,, and that christians say that homosexuality is an abomination but still allow them to marry, and that we allow the jews in israel to blow up palestinians... whatever.,.. then a jew walked up... and he seemed irritated and started shouting that she didn't know what she was talking about,, and that the palestinians started the whole matter... i don't know...

it was quite entertaining,, and nothing was solved... i'm still in my hotel lobby being a christian... she's still sitting on the sidewalk,, with a full view of the white house mind you,, hating america... and christians... and her own teeth, i'm sure... she must not have a mirror in that tent... and the jew is in his hotel room,,, i'm not sure what he's doing... he probably is upset with the fact that the most fervent and vocal people in this world have almost no ability to reason...

also i'm pretty sure she wasn't doing a whole lot of researching in that tent over the last thirty years... but i could be wrong.

i heard a quote one time,,, and i don't remember it,,, but i think it was something like: An intelligent mind can entertain an idea without accepting it...

i kinda liked it...


anyhow... i'm out.... also i used the word fervent,, and i have no idea what it means... oh well...
