today's rant: going on a trip to d.c., originally 3/1/07

this weekend, i'm going on a road trip with the rest of the high c's to sing in washington d.c., so i'm gonna be out of communication.  therefore, to all of the myspacers sending friend requests who are advertising new myspace layouts, porno pic sites, free ipods, and everything else under the sun, don't bother.  i'm not gonna be here to delete your friend requests and report your spam messages.

we're taking two cars down and we'll be off by about 4pm tomorrow and coming back sunday night.  on the extremely rare chance that they're reading this before then, come with me!  i have bottled water!

i haven't been to d.c. since i was about 10.  i remember that while i was there, the u.s. treasury was selling pencils made of old one-dollar bills.  there was about $7.31 worth of money in that pencil.  i forget how much it cost, but i doubt it was anywhere near $7.31.  i got a couple of souvenirs on that trip that i still have 13 years later.  one is a two-dollar john wayne gold coin.  the other is a sheet of four uncut two-dollar bills.  it cost $11 to buy.  think about that math for a second:  4 x 2 = 11.  fuck the fact that the math is wrong.  just think of the implication that an even number times an even number yields an odd number.  after taking four levels of college calculus, i still can't explain that mathematically, nor have anything i've read even come close to it.  that's how you know that we're fucked.

i also went to the air and space museum back in the day.  i remember a moon rock and a bunch of old rocket pieces.  that's about it.  also visited the white house on a day where clinton was leaving on a helicopter, so i got to see is puffy white hair for about two minutes looking over the crowd of people.

we might not have time to make many souvenir stops, but i at least hope to find a funny t-shirt or something.  i wonder if i take any pictures with my camera, some secret service people are going to pop out of random bushes and tackle me to the ground.

as i said on the high c's facebook page, hide your daughters, G.W. Bush.  the high c's are comin' to D.C.!!!
