202. If you’re out of shaving cream, lotion or
sunscreen makes a decent substitute;
203. If you’re really motivated, you can drive
from D.C. to Baltimore in a ½ hour (in moderate to light traffic);
204. It’s not every day that you see a tall,
stunning blonde, wearing a floor-length, pink dress with high heels, stride out
of a stall in the men’s restroom, when you’re standing at a urinal peeing . . .
not that I’m complaining;
205. Kobe beef is very tender;
206. The winter salad (i.e., apples, applewood
smoked bacon, candied almonds, candied pistachios, field greens, goat cheese
and pulled pheasant with a bacon-molasses vinaigrette) at Daniel O’Connell’s
Restaurant (DanielOConnells.com) is outstanding. It’s so good that I would actually eat it as
an entrée. . . . That’s saying a lot because that may be the second time I’ve
ever said anything like that about a salad;
207. The Ritz-Carlton in Pentagon City isn’t all

211. The “Exorcist steps” in Georgetown are pretty
steep;
212. National Geographic makes concert films (in

movie, U2 3D (U23DMovie.com), . . . preferably in IMAX;
214. The Japanese have a bizarre fascination with
robots;
215. Isn’t it ironic that what you want most, you
can’t have? . . . You can rationalize with yourself all you want . . . you can
tell yourself that, in the end, what you want can’t truly make you happy . . .
that it can’t truly make you fulfilled, . . . but your heart won’t listen . . .
it still yearns (and craves) for it anyways . . . no matter how irrational it
may be;
216. The number one predictor of well-being is
close friendships and close relationships, including family relationships, not
wealth;

223. You can appreciate how big and fast
professional hockey players really are when you sit in the lower level seats at
the Verizon Center;
224. March 15th is the “Ides of March;”
225. You can use a synagogue to host a concert,
but you still feel like you’re in church;
226. The greatest gift you can give someone is the
strength and the power not to need you, to need you for nothing;
227. Two words describe being the person right
after the last person let in to DC101’s Kegs & Eggs: Fucking awful (or
cold);
228. Bribery is alive and well in Clarendon;
229. People can be so self-centered and
inconsiderate of others;
230. Tommy Lee seems like he has a lot of energy
and fun;
231. Want nothing.
Have preferences, but no needs;
232. Be careful of your thoughts, they become
words. Be careful of your words, they
become actions. Be careful of your
actions, they become habits. Be careful
of your habits, they become character.
Be careful of your character, it becomes your destiny;
233. Labels of authority have nothing to do with
whether others consider you a leader or whether they’d be motivated to follow
you;
234. Joe Theismann’s sons aren’t very tall;
235. Byrd Stadium has latrines;
236. Your perspective creates your thoughts, and
your thoughts create everything . . .
Assume a different perspective and you will have a different thought
about everything;
237. It is when you “just can’t imagine” how
another person could “do such a thing” that you have forgotten where you came
from, and where both you and the other person are going;
238. Compared to the lower level seats at the
Verizon Center, you don’t feel as close to the action sitting in the club level
seats, but you do have some nice amenities that aren’t available to the lower
level and mezzanine level seats;

himself to score in any way possible;

things, when you have to go through a metal detector, in order to enter a
public library;
241. Whatever you want to experience in yourself,
be the source of it in the lives of others;
242. It is in the moments of life that a life
itself is created;
243. Atlantic City has a seedy, sordid feel to it
. . . the heavy fog from the ocean just intensifies it;
244. Just another way to gouge money from you . .
. the cell phone check;
245. “Ryan” means “little king” in Gaelic;
246. It’s rather bizarre to be standing around and
have a woman, who you’ve never met before, come up and pinch your nipple;
247. When you mix alcohol, some “choice” words and
a dude from Philly . . . you get a fight (and a couple of thrown beers);
