i'm light skinned.
buying cigarettes at the liquor joint at 3rd and H street, this dude buying a lottery ticket yelled at me, "hey, light skin, what's up?"
"nuthin"
"hey, we have a party goin' on at 6th and somethin'. i'm driving my bicycle home, and then i'm gonna go filling up my SUV. i'll be there in an hour. i'll see you there, aaight?"
"yeah. i'll be there... OH, and ...
don't buy premium".

badge of (dis)honor
enough. i'm tired of the dipshits that wear their badges "after hours".
here's my long-winded post from a previous blog.
look, i live and work in DC. when i leave work, i take off my friggin' badge.why?!cuz i'm not at work anymore!i'd really like to know who these dorks are that are clearly going home (on the bus, the metro, etc.) and keep their badges strewn against their chest or beltloop....do you go home and sleep with your badge on?it's actually a violation (in most Federal agencies) to wear your badge in public. if you're at lunch, or going home to your pad in st. charles county, MD, or somewhere in VA, TAKE IT OFF!nobody gives a crap!is it not enough that i can see your name, and the agency you work for? some freak might actually use that crap against you.take of the badge.i know it's really cool to have a federally issued ID, but this is DC, and we all have them. it's not really that fashionable to wear them on the bus. take it off!seriously, nobody gives a shit but you.ok....it might be cool to wear your little badge back home in iowa, wyoming, or wherever. you can show people that you are a FEDERAL EMPLOYEE. oooohhh. big whoop. in DC, you're just one of the rest of us. take the thing off and go home.if you're trying to relay to folks that you're not a tourist, then you need to actually act like a local. i.e. a person who lives in DC.i bet most of the dufus-bags that wear their ID outside of work live in MD or VA.wanna bet me?prove me wrong....
