Washingtondc - Tumblr Posts
A week ago I finally stepped foot into Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar on H Street NE (Washington, DC). This portrait captured and captivated me. I need to know its name and the artist.
Just as the day was coming to a close yesterday, God smiled on D.C. A full rainbow after all of the cold rain that hounded us. I snapped this just as I was driving down P Street. NW. This location is the intersection of P and 7th Streets NW.
Shug: More than anything God love admiration. Celie: You saying God is vain? Shug: No, not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off when you walk by the colour purple in a field and don't notice it. Celie: You saying it just wanna be loved like it say in the bible? Shug: Yeah, Celie. Everything wanna be loved. Us sing and dance, and holla just wanting to be loved. Look at them trees. Notice how the trees do everything people do to get attention... except walk?

“They’re bringing in weapons, you’re bringing in art,” says Benn of troubled students in general. “We’re using media, pop culture, technology, hip-hop. You can’t just give them a Houghton Mifflin textbook, say ‘turn to Page 29, oh you can’t read it, you fail.’ Art is the great equalizer. Technology is the great equalizer.”

Lyrics:
Get high as a plane, but I'm living up in hell. I stay in b*tch*s' heads like a play with brain cells. And if you n*gg*s got them Macs, than I guess I'm pushing Dells. And if you n*gg*s think you sick, than I guess I'm pretty well. Wait, you probably wouldn't understand that. I always play harder, you automatic and I'm standard. And I heard you n*gg*s pussy, so I guess you transgender. And your girl gave me her ass, so we had a fender bender. When they hear me spit, they say I'm colder than December. And I'm hiking up this mountain, so I'm heading up to Denver. And I'm finna beat, but I ain't talking about Nathaniel. And I'm saying God's my judge, when I'm speaking about Daniel. You dudes are full of games; you take the role of the pretender. You's a victim in the game, and I'm just called as the offender. Ain't no way that you is winning, best of luck best to surrender. I stand straight on any surface, like I carry up suspenders.

Those puritans in Washington, D.C., well, they're finally untying their bonnets and lifting the state's "Blue Laws" that restricted liquor stores from opening on Sunday, which means liquor stores can open on Sundays in D.C. now. Congratulations, residents of D.C.! You still live in D.C.
The D.C. Council approved a new bill late Tuesday that will lift the region into the 21st century — or at least the immediate surrounding area — effective sometime next year. The biggest argument against the bill was that employees really liked having Sunday off, so it's not surprising that it passed. It's expected to bring in $700,000 in revenue, so forget your day off, liquor store employees.
Hip people in D.C. will be happy, too, because the bill also allows the sales of 64 ounce growlers from beer and grocery stores, and excellent craft beer is one of the cool and hip things that makes D.C. cool and hip. So people in D.C. can finally buy their excellent craft beer, in a growler, on the day of rest.

I went to Washington DC today,,technically yesterday at this point, and I took some pics with my phone. Look at all that unedited goodness 😂
Also I wasn’t expecting DC to be so clean, it really makes me wonder why New York is all the hype. OUR STREETS SMELL LIKE THE GUTTERS. Like, currently it’s 4 am but we got back around 3 am,,,and when I tell you I seriously couln’t handle the smell.
Anyways, I feel like I’m talking nonsense. I guess that’s what happens when you have 3 hours of sleep and had spent half the day in the heat.
"politically correct" flowers of spring
Mar 27, 1912: The First Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees Are Planted in the U.S.
On this day in 1912, the first two Japanese cherry blossom trees were successfully planted by First Lady Helen Taft and Viscountess Chinda on the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. Japanese Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo gave the U.S. over 3000 trees to demonstrate the growing relationship between the U.S. and Japan.
Every spring, Washington D.C. commemorates the initial planting through the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
As we wait for this year’s blooming period, treat yourself to this delicious spring recipe! Image: Cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. 2013 (Diana Alvarenga)

I love this time of year! Christmas lights, Happy Holidays Abound!
Why isn’t French onion soup more popular? Serious question. I don’t think I’ve ever come across anyone who has said “I love French onion soup”. I’ll throw myself under the bus here, I honestly had never had it until now. Cold day, so soup it is.
I need a Mitch for every drink 🍷, I mean, he’s kinda got a cute butt right?
