What I've learned since moving to D.C. (some of which should be obvious): 0094

4651.  Red burgundy (wine) refers to pinot noir from Bourgogne, France;

4652.  Once you learn how to learn, you have only to discover what is worth learning;

4653.  It is much more difficult to break a habit when there is no adequate replacement for it;

4654.  It is not helpful to condemn our present behavior patterns; it is helpful to see what function these habits are serving, so that if we learn a better way to achieve the same end, we can do so.  We never repeat any behavior which isn't serving some function or purpose;

4655.  It is difficult to become aware of the function of any pattern of behavior while we are in the process of blaming ourselves for having a "bad habit."  But when we stop trying to suppress or correct the habit, we can see the function it serves and then an alternative pattern of behavior, which serves the same function better, emerges quite effortlessly;

4656.  Habits are statements about the past and the past is gone;

4657.  There is no need to fight old habits.  Start new ones.  It is the resisting of an old habit that puts you in that trench.  Starting a new pattern is easy when done with childlike disregard for imagined difficulties;

4658.  T-Mobile customers get unlimited texting and one hour of free (of Gogo In-Flight) Wi-Fi on Virgin America flights;

4659.  The truth is you don’t know what you can really accomplish until you try;

4660.  The important thing is to experience it.  Don’t intellectualize it.  See what it feels like to ask yourself to do something and let it happen without any conscious trying;

4661.  The grilled chicken at Whataburger (Whataburger.com) is pretty tasty;

4662.  You’d think the wind would be cooling . . . not in (Las) Vegas;

4663.  The daughter of the audio engineer(, who does all of the telecasts) for the NBA(,) is rather attractive . . . and (she’s) a hockey fan (i.e., New York Rangers);

4664.  “Secret Pizza” (on the 3^rd floor of “The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas”) may have the best pizza in (Las) Vegas;

4665.  The water at pool parties in (Las) Vegas is (pretty) disgusting/dirty (specifically Nightswim at XS Nightclub);

4666.  I’m not a Skrillex fan;

4667.  There are places (i.e., desert areas) outside of (Las) Vegas where you can go and (legally) shoot (your) guns;

4668.  Loading the last couple of rounds into a magazine is a pain;

4669.  I can say I’ve driven in (Las) Vegas;

4670.  I can say that I’ve helped smuggle in two (large) suitcases worth of booze into a nightclub (specifically Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub) in (Las) Vegas;

4671.  The bungalows at Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub are ridiculous;

4672.  I can say I’ve partied with LeBron James in (Las) Vegas . . . and with some of his teammates on the (Cleveland) Cavaliers (i.e., Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Channing Frye, Richard Jefferson, Dahntay Jones & Jordan McRae) as well as Chris Paul (of the Los Angeles Clippers), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (of the Detroit Pistons) and Tyler Ulis (of the Phoenix Suns);

4673.  Apparently, I should listen to whatever Hanoz (Mistry) and Alex (Page) tell me;

4674.  (Unbeknownst to me,) apparently, I give off a very sexual energy . . . and that I won’t have to worry about not (sexually) satisfying a woman;

4675.  Apparently, I’ll succeed at anything I put my mind to;

4676.  Apparently, if I put my mind to it, I could teach myself (to play) the guitar from YouTube videos;

4677.  It’s good to know a pharmacist;

4678.  If you’re parking at “The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas,” go down to (level) B4.  There are a lot more open spots (down) there because there aren’t any spaces reserved for valet (parking);

4679.  Realize that you’re giving a woman a gift when you’re approaching and giving her a compliment;

4680.  Let me get your number in case we get separated;

4681.  Most of the casinos in (Las) Vegas have free parking.  Look for the “self-park” lots;

4682.  I’ve cracked my back for the first time (ever) . . . and it feels amazing;

4683.  Watch out for (slim,) 26 year-old, Israeli brunettes, who just want a good view of the deejay (specifically Hardwell) from your table;

4684.  Seth (Barr) is glad to be my friend;

4685.  There’s something strange/weird about folding another man’s underwear;

4686.  Sarah (Foster) doesn’t think I’m shy/introverted;

4687.  Danial (Coggan) said I’m an inspiration to him;

4688.  Apparently, I’m an I.N.F.J.-A. (i.e., introverted 78%. Intuitive 64%, Feeling 56%, Judging 70% & Assertive 76%). . . . My role is a “diplomat” and my strategy is “confident individualism;”

4694.  I can say, at one point, I had a six-pack;

4695.  I really like Kaskade;

4696.  Apparently, tall (i.e., 5’10”), blonde, former (college) volleyball players, living in Chicago(, Illinois) date shorter, “loser” men;

4697.  Robert (Roebuck) said I’m an inspiration to him (as well);

4698.  You’re a good conversationalist if you can get into 10-20 minute (long) conversations;

4699.  The breakfast (i.e., two eggs any style & the create your own omelet) at the Strip View Café (StripViewCafe.com) in (Las) Vegas is (really) tasty . . . and cheap;

4700.  Steve Aoki may be my favorite deejay in (Las) Vegas;
