echo park

This dude came up to Tara (one of my co-workers at the Grant Processing job with Foursquare) and me and asked us to buy a lizard that he found for $15. I could tell he was a crack-head or something - you know how they always sell things that they stole/found to buy more crack. I just felt really burdened and saddened by his state of condition and wanted to give him more than the dollar in my wallet, so I asked him if he would pray with us. Rodge (his name) grabbed our hands and I started praying. At first I was just saying how awesome God was (us being surrounded by the park - which is beautiful), then I started praying for Rodge. I asked God to take care of him and show His love for him. And I said some random weird line that infuriated him.
"God, let Rodge know that you love him just as much as you love me or... or... George W. Bus---"
"--Man! What the Fuck you talk about George W. Bush for? I hate that man."
"Uh... In the name of Jesus, amen."
