Adieu DC
That's right...on February 15th, i'll be an official resident of Maryland. Although i'm only moving a mere mile away from the DC border - I feel like some sort of traitor. The unions would refer to me as a "scab" for crossing the picket lines.Believe me, I have my motivations for moving. In fact, I never completely unpacked all my things from the last time I moved...two years ago! I just never thought that i'd stay in a group house with eight other housemates for so long. When the opportunity to share a house with only two others (friends of mine) in the suburbs came along - I decided it was time for a change.
So i'm trading in my crumbling DC digs for a modest house in Silver Spring; purging my accumulation of crap and starting anew; shedding the college me and steppin' it up...(insert cheesy metaphor here)
I'll do my best not to turn into a boring suburban drone - my biggest fear, and I promise to stay current on all things DC...and throw a lil Maryland in there too.

Yo man...Maryland rocks and you know it! Hell, it reared me...what more do you want??
Here are a few things you need to know before moving to my fair state:
1. Nickname: Old Line State or The Free State
2. State bird: Oriole (I know..no brainer there)
3. Our motto is: "Fatti Maschii Parole Femine" (manly deeds, womanly words) whatever the fuck that means.
4. State Flower: Black-Eyed Susan
5. State Tree: White Oak
6. And it became a state on 28 April 1788 (the 7th state to be exact)
God bless my father for teaching history and civics his whole life.
PEACE
In 4th Grade they made us learn the same random facts about NJ.
I can still recite all the counties in NJ - in alphabetical order...
...but somehow, I can never remember where I parked my car - riddle me this!
