What I've learned since moving to D.C. (some of which should be obvious): 0132

6551.  Oral sex in a (public) restroom (specifically Murphy’s Irish Pub) . . . check . . . sex in a (public) restroom . . . (double) check;
6552.  Walt Whitman wrote letters during the Civil War at the (Smithsonian National) Portrait Gallery;
6553.  There have only been five (U.S.) presidential elections where the winner didn’t win the popular vote (i.e., John Quincy Adams in 1824; Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876; Benjamin Harrison in 1888; George W. Bush in 2000; and Donald Trump in 2016);
6554.  Porcelain is the only ceramic that’s translucent;
6555.  Marge Margulies (MargeMarguliesPottery.com) is one of Elizabeth’s favorite potters;
6556.  A sign of a good potter is how thin s/he can get the clay;
6557.  Elizabeth made out with Michael Trotter (the actor) in grade school;
6558.  The “Cereal Milk” soft serve (ice cream) at Milk Bar (MilkBarStore.com) is tasty . . . and so is the chocolate malt cake (i.e., chocolate cake, malted fudge, malted milk crumbs, charred marshmallows & malted chocolate frosting);
6559.  Making out in the backroom of a hotel (specifically the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.) . . . check . . . getting caught by a hotel employee . . . (double) check;
6560.  Apparently, if a woman tells you she does/uses cocaine, she’ll sleep with you (for cocaine). . . . Who knew?
6561.  Making out at the Tidal Basin . . . check;
6562.  Collar . . . check;
6563.  Our cognitive ability does not remain the same throughout the day;
6564.  How we perform depends on what we are doing;
6565.  For most of us, our (cognitive) peak is in the morning and, for night owls, it’s later in the day;
6566.  Our (cognitive) peak is where we are most vigilant (i.e., able to bat away distractions) and the best time for analytical work;
6567.  Standardized test scores for students go down in the afternoon and the number of auto(mobile) accidents increase;
6568.  Once you control for cars on the road, the most dangerous time to drive is between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in the morning with the second most dangerous time (to drive) between 2 o’clock and 4 o’clock in the afternoon;
6569.  During our midday (cognitive) trough, we should be doing more of our administrative work (i.e., batching & answering routine e-mails, filling out testing procedure specification reports, filling out expense reports, etc.);
6570.  During our (cognitive) recovery period, we have an elevated mood.  Our mood is better than it is during the trough, but we’re less vigilant than we are during the peak.  This is a good time for brainstorming and insight work;
6571.  We should be moving our analytical work to the peak, our administrative work to the trough and our insight and creative work to the recovery (period);
6572.  Time of day explains about 20 percent of the variance in how people perform on cognitive tasks;
6573.  The reason people hate it when you change is because the ways they used to manipulate you stop working;
6574.  Avocados (will) last a long time if you store them in the crisper (drawer) in your (re)frig(erator);
6575.  Elizabeth’s birthday is on Cinco de Mayo;
6576.  Your calf can cramp (up) during sex. . . . Who knew?
6577.  Cock face slap . . . check;
6578.  (Mini) remote control egg . . . check;
6579.  Breakfast (e.g., tacos, huevos rancheros & breakfast burritos) is served all day at District Taco (DistrictTaco.com);
6580.  Apparently, I’m the most sexual person Elizabeth has ever met;
6581.  In 60% of cases where a family’s fortune is blown, it’s usually exhausted in one generation by the children of the person who created the wealth;
6582.  In 90% of the cases where a fortune is blown, it’s gone by the second generation, by the time the grandchildren die;
6583.  (Getting) a cordless, hand vacuum is worth it too;
6584.  Ego says, “Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel peace.”  Spirit says, “Find your peace and then everything will fall into place;”
6585.  Note to self: Make sure the penis/cock is in;
6586.  Apparently, I’m the best lover Elizabeth has ever had;
6587.  Oral sex at work . . . check . . . diving at work . . . (double) check . . . sex at work . . . (triple) check;
6588.  Chemically speaking, there’s no difference between humans and rocks, trees, orangutans or distant stars.  Grind them all up and their chemical composition isn’t what distinguishes one from the other.  Our physical presence is a spiritually directed conglomeration of a hodgepodge of chemicals and the end result is that we’re beings made up of the same stuff that makes up the stars.  We’re made up of stardust.  That’s right, the stuff of dreams; twinkling, magical, beautiful and light-filled stardust!
6589.  (Eating) pizza (tends to) make(s) me feel tired and lethargic;
6590.  Blue Chair Bay coconut, spiced rum is tasty;
6591.  (I can say) I’ve gone boat fishing . . . although I didn’t (actually) catch any fish;
6592.  The most common misuse of imagination is stressing what you don’t want for yourself;
6593.  Highly functioning self-actualized people simply never imagine what it is that they don’t wish to have as their reality;
6594.  Never place into your imagination any thought that you would not want to materialize;
6595.  Never allow your imagination to be contaminated by ideas about how your life used to be.  You need faith in your power to make the nonexistent your reality.  Just because you haven’t experienced the magic of the nonexistent appearing in your daily life is no reason to poison your imagination with the thoughts that got you where you are now or have been for most of your life;
6596.  Your imagination is yours and yours alone.  It is a vast, unbounded realm within you that no one else has access to.  No one can peer into your imagination and place things in there that they prefer for you, nor can they extract any ideas that are percolating in that grand imagination of yours.  Your imagination is your own fertile field for growing any seedlings that you choose to plant for a future harvest;
6597.  Never allow someone else’s ideas about what is possible or impossible for you, how you should be thinking, who you should be or anything else to occupy your imagination;
6598.  The viewpoints of other people regarding how you should occupy your imagination generally involve their own self-interest;
6599.  Do not let your imagination be restricted to the current conditions of your life.  Your imagination is unlimited and, if you’ve opted for an ordinary level of living, it is tempting to stay in “what is” rather than what you unabashedly intend to manifest for yourself.  Keep reminding yourself that everything that you’ve believed has gotten you to precisely the point where you are now;
6600.  If you want to elevate your life and become a manifester then you have to change what you’ve believed to be true about yourself that has landed you where you are;
