Lara Croft.

(said as a greeting.)

I just finished watching the movie ‘Tomb Raider(2018)’ starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft this past Thursday, 6/21/2018, for the 1st time, and I placed the mail order rental in the mailbox the very next day on 6/22/2018. The DVD/Blu-ray mail rental service mailed it to me on 6/18/2018, and it arrived in my PO Box the next day on 6/19/2018. So, since I finally watched the movie, I no longer feel obligated to use the phrase ‘Lara Croft’ as a greeting. I may continue using the phrase ‘Lara Croft’ for a while, but I don’t feel obligated to do so. Of course, to be clear, you used your own resourcefulness to benefit from the greeting. If you benefitted from the use of the greeting, that is because you chose to benefit from it. I did not make that choice for you, so to speak.

It is now 9:40 AM EST for me. The music video I am recommending refurbished for this advice is from the remix song ‘I’m Real’ by American singer Jennifer Lopez. The music video located at youtube edited the use of the lyrics, and if you’re looking for the lyrics in www.google.com, keep in mind that it’s from the remix of the lyrics, not it’s original lyrics. Here is the chorus from Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule:

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez and (Ja Rule)]
Because I’m real
(The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk)
Because I’m real
(The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
Because I’m real
(The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
Because I’m real
And I can’t go on without you

And here’s a quote about the song and music video from www.wikipedia.org:

” I’m Real” debuted at number 66 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending July 7, 2001… ”

” After three weeks stalled at number two, “I’m Real” returned to number one again for a final two weeks, through October 27, 2001. ”

A separate video clip… featuring Ja Rule… opens with Lopez leaning on a gate of a suburban house and singing in front of a red backdrop along with Ja Rule, who is also seen walking the streets, with a basketball.  Men and women are then seen in various locations such as a park and swimming pool. Lopez and Ja Rule are then seen together in a basketball court in the chorus of the song. These locations are shown for a prominent part of the video, until both of them are later at a party; and sitting together at a park watching children play. ”

The wikipedia article also talks about some sort of controversy. Both Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule dismissed the allegation.

Of course, as always, you don’t have to watch the music video in order to read this advice. I am just offering it, if you choose to.

To watch the music video ‘I’m Real’ for free, just search for phase ‘jennifer lopez i’m real’ in www.youtube.com, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 117 million views. I watched the entire music video for the 1st time from youtube earlier today. I chose this music video from a copy I made from the cable tv service, music video tv show ‘Total Request Playlist’ on 6/21/2018, this past Thursday, from cable tv channel ‘MTV Classic’.

Bad impression:

Idea ‘Bad impression’, a name I just gave it several minutes ago, is not planned to be an ‘on point’, exact answer for many of your instigation problems. It is, however, meant to be one of those fundamental ideas to help you understand. It’s a little like the short story ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’. You can read about that in www.wikipedia.org.  Basically, in that story, adults using their lifestyle identities are describing the clothes the Emperor is wearing. A child, however, finally says that the Emperor is wearing nothing at all.

Idea ‘Bad impression’ was made from the sci-fi episodes of ‘Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments(2016+)’ that I have watched, starring Katherine McNamara as Clary Fray. I can sum it up by using just 2 episodes as illustration references. Basically, as I started watching the show, I noticed that the show was giving vampires a bad impression as to how they existed in their ‘Shadowhunters’ tv show. When I noticed this, I was making an effort to be positively objective about it. However, it was a struggle to maintain such a positive objectivity. This bad impression is not something that you need to use extrapolation, like the way a detective might deduce from clues. The bad impression was made to look very obvious. Here is a very obvious illustration, episode 1.3 ‘Dead Man’s Party’ from the tv show ‘Shadowhunters(2016)’. The episode is available to purchase from Amazon.com for about 2 dollars Standard Definition, and according to Amazon Video, the scene starts 18 minutes and 3 seconds into the episode, when Clary and Jace(Dominic Sherwood) enter a biker bar that vampires go to. Here is a quote:

Clary: ‘You wanna kill time at a biker bar?’

Jace: ‘We can’t move on the vamps until sunrise. Plus, there’s something I need in here.’

Quite often proactive joint pain relief involves levitra 40 mg amerikabulteni.com change in dietary preferences, especially if arthritis starts to develop.
Clary: ‘What, a drink?’

Jace: ‘I don’t drink.’

Clary: ‘We need to save Simon, not hang around a bunch of posers.’

Jace: (chuckles)

Clary: ‘Jace, it’s not funny.’

Jace: ‘It’s kinda funny.’

Clary: (scoffs) ‘Shouldn’t you be teaching me to fight vampires or something?’

The next scene starts 19 minutes and 18 minutes into the episode:

Jace: ‘Check out that guy. He’s got something.’

Clary: ‘What? Fleas?’

Jace: ‘Now, now. Bet you can’t handle his charm.’

Clary: ‘Charm? Are you kidding me?’

Now, if you are just watching that episode as if it was just your typical sci-fi tv show, you would probably get a bad impression of what vampires are, with the obvious associations that Clary just gave them. Sure, it’s fragmented, but Clary is very consistent with her demeaning. That consistency will probably affect how you also make your evaluation of what those vampires are. Based on that scene, when I watched it for the 1st time, I doubted that all vampire bikers were acceptably sentient, even though I was making an effort to evaluate those vampires using positive objectivity.

The next scene starts 33 minutes and 13 seconds into the episode. When Clary said quote ‘Wait, I hear something.’, and Jace said ‘Hold up.’, the show presents through a glass door vampires running around and shrieking. Soon after that, they show what looks like to me what happens when vampires are defeated. They turn to dust.

So, that’s the impression I got from the vampires in the ‘Shadowhunter’s universe: Even though they were once human, as vampires they don’t seem to have an adequate sense of sentience, and they seem to be easily defeated as they turn to dust. I made the deduction that vampires in the tv show intentionally give such an unappealing impression as to how they exist in order to create opportunity. For example, I imagined that a person who is given the impession I was given would interpret vampires as not being much of a threat, since they don’t seem too intelligent, with an unflattering look when they are defeated.

For me, that bad impression of what vampires are like in this tv show changed, when Simon Lewis(Alberto Rosende), one of the main characters, a man who likes to talk a lot, was turned into a vampire. The show gave many illustrations as to how Simon adapted to his newfound vampire life. The show even gave him more powers, allowing him to be the only vampire to be able to normally live in daylight, and another power that protected him from being attacked. Another example that changed how I saw the vampires was when the tv show showed the leader of the vampires, Raphael Santiago(David Castro), expressing concern for his last living human relative. One obvious illustration of Raphael’s concern is in episode 3.1 ‘On Infernal Ground’ from tv show ‘Shadowhunters(2018)’, when Raphael was talking with Magnus Bane(Harry Shum Jr.). The episode is available for purchase for about 2 dollars Standard Definition from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, the scene starts 27 minutes and 8 seconds into the episode. Here is a quote:

Magnus: ‘Who is this tranquilizer really for?’

Raphael: ‘It’s for me. Rosa’s not doing so well. And the thought of losing her…my last living relative, it’s just…I…I can’t sleep.’

Magnus: ‘I’m so sorry, Raphael.’

You may use this idea to help you more tenably evaluate the bad impressions that instigators may be improperly imposing upon you to experience. It may not be the answer, but I think it may be helpful.
