Action figures, and paying it forward

Today, I went to the Pentagon to try and give blood. I was deferred because of a tattoo. Apparently, Georgia doesn't regulate their tattoo shops, so I have to wait a year instead of the usual six months. Anyway, after that whole ordeal was over, my Aunt gave me a tour of the Pentagon. And I met one of the guys that she works with. General Bishop. This dude has an ACTION FIGURE. and, it's HIM. It kinda does look like him. But, how crazy would that be? To have an action figure made of you? That's how you know you've made it, I think. He was a Thunderbird pilot. I freaking LOVE living in DC. You never know what will happen or who you'll meet next. Oh, and the Executive Dining Room at the Pentagon has the YUMMIEST Virginia Ham& Pennsylvania Cheese Sandwich. WHOA. Also, being there reaffirmed my love for men in uniform. God Bless America, they're fineeee. =]

So, on this whole giving blood thing... I think everyone should do it. It's the easiest way to save like, 3 lives. The Red Cross is legit, but, if you wanna be like me [and who doesn't!?!] go thru the Armed Services Blood Project.
