DC Odd and ends

I want to make going to DC something I do often, and alone. That’s the only way I can really experience the city. That’s the only way I can fully enjoy the people. In China town I got to see the size of the city and even though it was only Chinatown it was bigger than Power and light ( Kansas City), much bigger and a lot more inside of it. It goes without saying that DC is bigger than Kansas City but that’s not even fair to say those cities in the same sentence. I’m sorry DC.

All jokes aside, I want to make a point to try and get familiar with the city as much as I can before I leave. Not just the historic section with the statues and the monuments, I mean all that’s pretty nice, but I also like the side with the stadium and the restaurants and the like. Really like George town. It feels me with regret because something inside me tells me that I should have gone to a school like that. Had I not been so unfocused and…but I digress. Everything for a reason, I can regret so I take advantage of my mistakes the best I can.

If I can talk about the metro again…one the trip back home I did enjoy the conversation I over heard between a group of teenage boys. It was hard to understand because he wasn’t doing much but cursing yet it taught me a lot all the same.

“Yeah, I saw that bitch, tried to glide on it right, man that bitch hurt like shit, burned my hands every time tried to touch the bitch. Yeah, had to go home put my hands in ice water shit hurt like a bitch so much, man that bitch was shit.”

I think I’ll use that for later use. I cant forget the way a woman sat slacked jaw just watching the boys as they talked, she made no effort to hide the way she stared at them, half in confusion the other in amazement. Perfect, wish I had a camera.

Other than that, as I am sure I have made it clear, I really enjoyed the city. It was great to finally feel ‘lost’ in a city and somewhere where every turn of the corner was something new, some new face. My brother who has been to new york keep saying to me. “Man this is nothing like New York, so many more people, more cabs than cars, this is nothing man.”

My next plan is to see New York, I have to she calls out to me. Her and Boston. I’ve never been so close to these cities, who knows when I may get another chance.

I hope to get the chance to see more and of course write more. I know it cant wait to be read. (yeah right) but I still like writing them even if no one reads. With the way this city is looking I’ll have a lot more to say.
