It's not the same thing at all.  This dude's bitching about people who use dog-sitters, people who make more money than him, the choice of actresses in local theatres.  Hardly matters of gravity - just inconsequential stuff that allows him to play the irascible, disaffected hipster.  But who knows - maybe he plans on starting a civic movement to ban actresses he doesn't like from the city limits. Or sponsor a referendum on the outlawing of dog-sitters.
 
 I get the sense that if he moved to Anywhere, USA he would start www.ihateanywhere.com.
 
 There does seem to be a large concentration of this type in DC.  Do you disagree?

Oh, every single one of us got the devil inside.

No! There are a lot of people who are migrants to D.C. Probably mostly because of the jobs here. I think migrants always look back at their old domiciles with rose-tinted spectacles.

DC haters are kind of like gay Republicans or Jewish Nazis... it's a form of self-loathing.
 
 ps, I don't get the whole blog thing at all... my ex girlfriend found my feeble attempt at a diary a while back and I was horrified... the thought of posting it on the web multiplies that horror by a google.

I agree.  I think because DC is a fairly transient city (ie, so many folks come in for a two to three year stint, either for school/an internship/an internship before more school) that even folks who have been here for years are just 'biding' their time until they go to their final destination city/state/country.  It kind of drives me crazy, but in reaction I've become a huge DC fan (the whole metropolitan area, not just the city, so don't even start with me...).
 
 One type of crankiness I find more annoying -- the former New Yorkers who constantly bitch that no place is as good/big/cool/exciting/diverse/desireable/hot/whatever than N.Y.  This includes a large portion of folks who've lived in N.Y.C., and they make me nuts.  MOVE BACK.

that's a pet peeve of mine, too.  Although I do admit that as a former (temporary) New Yorker myself, I did bitch a bit about not being able to find a decent slice of 'zza after returning to DC.   I think the problem is exacerbated because New Yorkers are natural complainers.  The ones that aren't considerate enough to temper it need to be dished out a huge can of STFU.
 
 Doomlink is not my blog.

I guess it depends on how the blog is used. My blog is primarily used to show which albums I'm digging that day or to write CD reviews. What I find more horrifying is what people willingly share on message boards.

while i miss being able to afford to live in the city,  good wings and pizza, the steelers on tv and my family and friends, i will never ever move back to pittsburgh. ever. no matter how much i bitch about dc. i used to tell people that bitched about pittsburgh to move, and then did so myself

I have a feeling the strong possibility of Marion Barry being elected back into public office will send the blogger over the deep end.

I haven't heard anyone like that. Huh. I find New Yorkers handle things way better than those in this area. Also, I like NYC way better than DC so I don't blame them!
