We grow in our sleep and wake up every morning about 8 millimeters taller than the night before. However, we return to our former height as gravity compresses our cartilage discs back into place throughout the next day. It’s like morning wood for the entire body!

I miss living the Washington D.C. Lifestyle. I miss having someone who’s hot studio apartment I’d wake up to every other morning would bring some odd sense of belonging. I miss waking up early to freshly pressed coffee and a cigarette, the smoke lingering above, slowly making it’s way to the open windows. I miss being in just my underwear as I walked around the apartment and looked out over the cityscape.
I miss walking down Park where the crooked houses brought life to the uneven street. I miss the hustle and bustle of 14th st, Columbia Heights. I miss getting brunch on Sunday around the corner. I miss the park off FL Ave that I frequented. I’d lay down in the grass on a spring afternoon and people watch then read until I fell asleep, napping in the spring sun until the mild evening breeze woke me.
I miss reading The City Paper in that tiny 3 person seating Korean place down the street. I miss walking through Mt.Pleasant and seeing all the cultural divisions having some sort of festival.
Having lived near D.C. all of my life and having been there many times throughout the course of it, it wasn’t until I suddenly had a place to stay out there whenever I wanted that I really learned about it, appreciated it, finally figured out how to navigate it and loved it. I hate myself for being stubborn when it came to going certain places because when I did go to these places you loved so much I ended up loving them too.
I really miss Washington, D.C.

There has been a big Hoo-Ha for a long time now about Global warming and the effects of the warmer temperatures on our lovely Earth. I personally love Winter and having lived in a place where the seasons were experienced at their fullest and having those seasons suddenly change due to warmer weather it should go without saying that there was hardly a “winter” here in Northern Virginia and I am really disappointed/aggravated. I’m not a hot weather girl and it made me contemplate moving north just so I can be closer to the chill of winter air but then that thought came off as a little extreme seeing as how this is the only warm winter I’ve gone through like this so here’s to hoping that next year there is a break through in how to get Earth and Nature back on track….doubtful though.
Anyway, let’s talk about Cholera. Cholera bacteria lives in warm waters. It causes diarrhea so severe that it can kill someone within a week. With no improved sanitation, the rise in global temperatures will lead to deadly outbreaks. I think after crapping your brains out for a week, death is probably a relief.

Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg.
You don’t like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing her yogurt from the break room fridge? You don’t like that I’m all over your sister-in-law’s blog? You don’t like that I’m on the sign for that new Thai place? You think I’m pedestrian and tacky? Guess the fuck what, Picasso. We don’t all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros. Sorry the entire world can’t all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people like to have fun. Sorry I’m standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the fuck up for once.
People love me. Why? Because I’m fun. I’m the life of the party. I bring levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message about restroom etiquette? SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need to convey your fun-loving, approachable nature on your business’ website? SMACK. Like daffodils in motherfucking spring.
When people need to kick back, have fun, and party, I will be there, unlike your pathetic fonts. While Gotham is at the science fair, I’m banging the prom queen behind the woodshop. While Avenir is practicing the clarinet, I’m shredding “Reign In Blood” on my double-necked Stratocaster. While Univers is refilling his allergy prescriptions, I’m racing my tricked-out, nitrous-laden Honda Civic against Tokyo gangsters who’ll kill me if I don’t cross the finish line first. I am a sans serif Superman and my only kryptonite is pretentious buzzkills like you.
It doesn’t even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I’m famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft fucking Bob. I’m in your signs. I’m in your browsers. I’m in your instant messengers. I’m not just a font. I am a force of motherfucking nature and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif badassery.
Enough of this bullshit. I’m gonna go get hammered with Papyrus.

Washing your hands with soap and water after going to the bathroom reduces diarrheal diseases by almost up to half. The simple ACT of Diarrhea is enough to convince ME anyway to wash my hands with soap.
I say this as if it’s not common sense to wash your hands with soap and water but you’d be surprised how often I’ve been to rest stops where I see women go to
the bathroom and walk right out without washing their hands and sometimes without even flushing the damn toilet! Last week at my favorite bar, This girl knew people were waiting for the bathroom and she knew when leaving the toilet people would see her face and she didn’t flush OR wash her hands she just walked out. She left a nice mess on the toilet too and I couldn’t help but to think, ‘This girl has balls. She KNOWS we see her and we all know it’s her leaving behind this mess and she is not only showing that she is an inconsiderate slob, but she is unhygienic too!’ She didn’t even leave the bar so I made sure to tell EVERYONE at my table to avoid any type of contact with her if they happen to be near her and was close to grabbing the mic after Karaoke breaks and tell the whole bar that they shouldn’t share food with her, hug her, shake her hand, or allow her to touch them but I chose not to embarrass her but who knows if she’d even be embarrassed.
