I love D.C.

Mission 1. Hook up with someone as old as my mom (54) and as young as my sister (20) in a month.
Mission 2. Live a completely gay lifestyle (without the gay sex) for a month.
Mission Three: Live without an apartment for a month.
Mission Four: Reconnect.
Mission Five: Re-take the SATs.
Mission Five: Become a PUA (Pick Up Artist) and wing Cali to 5 F-closes.

I'm overwhelmed by the kind words that are coming from the D.C.-area bloggers. I've always had a soft spot in my blogheart for this crowd, but at the same time I always felt a bit inferior because of just how smart they are and how effortlessly words seem to flow with them. This readership forced me to push harder than I would normally have with this blog. It was almost like trying to show Kobe a pick-and-roll. If you're attempting to be relevant to that level of audience, you better bring something new to the table.

Fictional Rockstar, who is at the top of my list for D.C. bloggers asked me a few questions that became the basis for a Hookers and Blow interview she pulled together with the grace and charm you'd expect from such a skilled writer. The comments were really nice too. I was going to comment myself, but wasn't sure about the whole etiquette on that. Maybe someone with a greater sense of blogging do's and dont's can shed some light.

Anyway, the Hooker interview was picked up by DCblogs, who also had a bunch of nice things to say about me. All in all, the whole experience was very uplifting.

If you haven't had a chance to visit any of these blogs, I suggest you do. They are all funny, intelligent and they kind of have a Jerry Macguire effect (they make you want to be a better blogger). Don't be overwhelmed by the literary references and the skilled vocabulary. These are all very intelligent people we can all learn a lot from. Like not ending a sentence with a preposition. Anyway, be like me and keep a Google window open when you read them. It helps.

In the next day or so I will share a memorable story about our nation's capital, one of the greatest cities in the world. Until then, give some warm blogger love to these amazing DC-area bloggers. They're probably cold right now.
