Refreshing?



Hipsters are cul-de-sacians.
They are wanna-be urban try hards.
Transplants.
Gentrifiers.
They are not from DC.
Those are not their neighborhoods.

Recent arrivals such as yourself may be impressed by their lame attention seeking attempts at being urban but trust me life long DC residents are not.

Since you are new to DC I will go easy on you.

Take a look around you.

Starbucks.
CVS.
Whole Foods.
Marshall's
Staples.
Target.
Best Buy.
Bed Bath & Beyond.
Walmart.
Harris Teeter.
Home Depot.
Hideous overpriced condos.
Adults with no pants on the metro.
Adults snowball fighting.
Adults playing kickball.

I could go on and on...

DC is rapidly turning into Cul-de-sacia and it is only going to get worse as time goes on.
DC has already turned into every-other-city-USA.
Uninspiring.
Bland.
Boring.
Subpar.
Lackluster.
Dull.
Vapid.

You may think by being in DC that you are more cultured than the Wheaton cul-de-sacs but you really aren't.

All the DC flag t shirts in the world will never change the fact that those inflated rent paying bearded hiptards are transplant gentrifier Cul-de-sacians from the Cul-de-sacs.

It all sounds so totally no pants-ball-sacial.


Would you like for me to type it again in Spanish or in the 4 other languages I am currently studying?

How many languages do you speak?

How about espearminto?

I'm not going to apologize for being happy with a choice I had to make under substantial duress. Maybe you should walk a mile in other people's shoes before judging them.

Rolled an ankle on Thursday. It's still hurting. Hate ankle injuries.

Nice evening for preseason football.

Interesting QBs on the slate. Good night for a cold brew and some beef jersey.

Wow...whatever juju the Washington Nationals have, they need to bottle it and give some to the Wiz.

The Nats have had an amazing week.

Would be awesome. My girl is a big O's fan so there would be a ton of trash talking between us. She has bragging rights at the moment since the O's have dominated the head to head matchup in recent years.

It didn't seem so much a pro-gentrification argument as a realistic appraisal of the gentrification process. Somehow, the author managed to discuss the issue without once mentioning no-pants kickball.

On Monday Night Football, two of my cousins are playing for the Chicago Bears.

As a dad I can live vicariously through my 14-year old son, who dreams of being in the NFL some day.

Genetically, it is possible even if not through me directly.

To me, artistic means producing art. You're artistic and you don't even know it. Cool plates.
