Preppy is the New Hipster

Okay so there is this website is running this bit about the top 5 reasons why people who contribute and read their website love dc. I think the kids that run this website are pretensions losers that embrace the base superficiality that they supposedly disdain. Whatevs. Maybe I do it. I do like irony.

5-Local dc politics are so funny that it is probably made fun of on some satirical animated television show, like the simpsons or the family guy. I don’t really watch those shows, but I imagine they would capture the absolute hilarity of a city like mine that adores a crack smoking mayor and had funny inside jokes about the utter uselessness of organized government in ¾ths of the city. CSNA, Phil Spalding and Lynn Coffin play a starring role in this category as well.

4-E street Cinema-now I know that if I lived in a real city(New York, LA, London) the movie theater options would be way better, but hey ill take what I can get. They have most(not all) of the artsy-fartsy, indy-shimdy shit that I like, and I like Stella Artois, and I always have one which for me is very enjoyable.

3-Riding my bicycle everywhere, and almost year round is a big perk. Plus I don’t really have to wear a helmut, which makes me feel cool. DC is also just hilly enough so I can get a bit of exercise and get a little sweaty.

2-Sundays are family days-Brunches, HBO, hangovers, friends, family, soup.

1-Neighborhood set up makes it really easy for me to judge people-the douchebags of the Gtown; the hipsters of Columbia heights; the gays of Dupont; the staffers of the hill; not to mention NE, SE, and SW. It all makes it so convenient for me to engage me one of my favorite pastimes. Oh also, lets not forget NOVA and Maryland, yuck.

Please see tomorrow installment for 5 reasons I do not love DC.
