Salutations.
It is now 11:55 AM EST for me. 1st, I want to say that I believe that I made a mistake to not put a music video after Wishlist #1148, that ‘Pragmatic garbage’ idea I invented. I imagined that many of the kids who read and used Wishlist #1148 wanted that sense of epiphany to continue, and when they read what I originally typed in Wishlist #1149, I imagined that they felt a sense of waning, a removal of that sense of epiphany, probably caused by this idea originally not having a music video associated with it. At the time, I believed that the cable tv box I was using was no longer working, and I soon returned it and replaced it. I’m now using a new cable tv box and I recorded a few TRL episodes. Less than an hour or so ago, I selected a music video from a recent TRL music video. However, at the time, I typed in an idea without a music video. Of course, I believe the kids recovered somewhat, but my main concern is how the future kids would react if I don’t change this list. And so, I deleted the original idea that was here, and am typing in this new idea. I just invented it a few days ago. This new idea will of course have a music video in it, and if another incident occurs again, let’s say for example the cable box I am using now breaks or is not available, I still plan on giving you a music video with the idea, even if it is yet another ‘Beastmaster’ tv show intro again. Hopefully, I learned my lesson, so to speak.
OK, I just discovered this a minute ago, that there may be a few words in the song that may be inappropriate, and I don’t want to look for another music video. That takes time. So, this is what I’ll do. I’ll describe something I watched in tv, what a celebrity said. I remember watching celebrity comedian Chris Rock describing what happened when he was with his friends driving in a car, and his friends were singing along to a song that they liked that the car radio was playing. When the song played that part of the lyrics that they deemed inappropriate to sing to, all of them, according to Chris Rock, stopped singing. My point is that the music video I will recommend to you has a few inappropriate words in it. It’s part of the song. Just don’t use it in relation to this advice. I like the way the music video looks, and I like the way the song sounds. Plus, the music video and song was featured in a recent episode of TRL. I’m recommending that you watch that music video. Just don’t use the few inappropriate words that are in that song and music video for this advice. For example, Chris Rock’s friends simply stopped singing when the song they were listening to articulated certain words they thought were inappropriate to sing to. Like that. What I’m trying to say is that it’s part of the song, but you don’t have to use it for this idea. It’s clearly there, but you don’t have to use it.
The music video I am recommending for this idea is called ‘Breathin’ by American singer Ariana Grande. According to www.youtube.com, the music video was published in www.youtube.com on Nov 7, 2018, and as of now, has over 44 million views, which is incredible in my opinion, since the music video was just published less than a month ago. I was made aware of the music video from a recent episode of TRL that I recorded using the new cable tv box. I recorded tv show TRL from channel ‘MTV Classic’ offered by the cable service I am using. It’s episode 3.52, and it was recorded 11/28/2018. Here is the text TRL placed on the music video ‘Breathin’:
‘ As a joke to her friends, Grande uploaded a video of her pet pig walking around to this song and said it was the official video. ‘
Here’s a quote from wikipedia.org about the song and music video ‘Breathin’:
‘ Lyrically, the song speaks about how breathing is affected when suffering from anxiety and is based on Grande’s own experience. ‘
Here are some of the quotes from the ‘Critical reception’ category from wikipedia.org:
‘ Jillian Mapes from Pitchfork said that Grande turned “the melancholy of Drake into a meditation on anxiety with ‘Breathin'”. Variety’s Chris Willman said that she “gets personal to just the right degree” with this song. Brittany Spanos from Rolling Stone called it an “exceptional exploration of anxiety”. Kate Soloman from The Independent called the song a “emotional highlight” and that it is a “mental health bop over a good, solid pop beat.” ‘
Here’s a quote from the lyrics ‘Breathin’:
Just keep breathin’ and breathin’ and breathin’ and breathin’
I know I gotta keep, keep on breathin’
Just keep breathin’ and breathin’ and breathin’ and breathin’
I know I gotta keep, keep on breathin’, mmm
To watch music video ‘Breathin’ for free, search for phrase ‘breathin ariana grande’ in www.youtube.com, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 44 million views. I watched the entire music video for the 1st time less than an hour or so ago, and I was made aware of the music video ‘Breathin’ for the 1st time earlier today, as I was fast forwarding through episodes of TRL that I recorded. If you haven’t watched music video ‘Breathin’ before, I think the highlight of it is it’s special effects use of showing Ariana Grande walking around in an airport ‘real time’, as everyone else is moving in some ‘fast forward blurry’ manner. You may find watching music video ‘Breathin’ entertaining to watch for the 1st time. I don’t feel a need to watch it again, but I still enjoyed watching it once. Also, keep in mind that this is the ‘official’ list to read after Wishlist #1148, that ‘Pragmatic garbage’ and ‘Convey’ idea. If you haven’t read Wishlist #1148 yet, I recommend that you read it to understand what I believe some kids insightfully use the name ‘Pragmatic garbage’ when referring to instigations identified by it.
Outperform:
According to www.dictionary.com, here’s the definition of word ‘Outperform’: ‘to surpass in excellence or performance; do better than’, and here’s a phrase that contains it’s use: ‘a new engine that outperforms the competition’
Before you continue reading, I recommend that you read the ‘Not add’ idea(Wishlist #1141), the ‘Cone’ idea(Wishlist #1145), and the ‘Participate’ idea(Wishlist #1145), more specifically, ‘How is it a mistake if I did not agree to participate?’ if you did not read it already. You can still keep reading without those ideas, but I believe you’ll learn more from what I’m about to say if you choose to use those ideas going in.
OK, here it is: I invented this idea just a few days ago, I’m not sure, but maybe I invented it this past Tuesday, Nov 27, 2018. According to what I invented, I believe that certain instigations you may have already experienced adversely impose a sense of outperformance inclination as you experience certain mild to moderate instigations. That outperformance inclination is in the very identity of the mild to moderate instigations you may have already experienced. Of course, you don’t have to use this advice, and if you never experienced such an instigation, then I still believe this advice may still be useful to have as a reference. The best way to continue I think is with the illustrations I have selected, as one example, not all examples, of what a sense of outperformance induced by an instigation may feel like. The illustrations are from the sci-fi tv drama show ‘Legacies’, which premiered on October 25, 2018 on the CW. Here’s a copy of the premise offered from www.wikipedia.org:
‘ Legacies follows Hope Mikaelson, the daughter of Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall, who is descended from some of the most powerful vampire, werewolf, and witch bloodlines. Two years after the events of The Originals, 17-year-old Hope attends the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted. The school provides a haven where supernatural beings can learn to control their abilities and impulses. ‘
‘ On November 8, 2018, it was announced that The CW had ordered an additional three episodes of the series, bringing the first season total up to 16 episodes. ‘
Here’s the quote I find interesting about the tv show ‘Legacies’:
‘ The school provides a haven where supernatural beings can learn to control their abilities and impulses. ‘
In my opinion, if you are experiencing mild to moderate forms of instigation, the tv show drama ‘Legacies’ may help you more tenably experience such things. It’s kind of ‘on the nose’ direct, showing you portrayals of teenagers learning to cope with their issues. Of course, there may be a few scenes you may find inappropriate. After all, it’ still a public tv show that strives for ratings. Just remove those inappropriate scenes, don’t use them.
The illustrations of someone experiencing a sense of interacting with outperformance is coming from main character Rafael Waithe portrayed by actor Peyton ‘Alex’ Smith. The instigator imposing the outperformance contemplations is character Jed, portrayed by actor Ben Levin. According to www.imdb.com, Jed is only going to be on 2 episodes of season 1, which I think is unfortunate. So, the outperformance illustrations are coming from certain interactions between Rafael and Jed. The episodes are available for streaming Standard Definition for about 2 dollars from Amazon.com, and I highly recommend that you watch those illustrations so that you can get a feeling of what it may be like to experience a sense of outperformance as it relates to instigation. The 1st illustration is from episode 1.4 ‘Hope Is Not the Goal’ from tv show drama ‘Legacies(2018)’, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 8 minutes and 47 seconds into the episode, while Rafael is talking to Josie Saltzman(Kaylee Bryant), and is interrupted by Jed. Here is the quote:
Jed: ‘Bounce, witch. Rafael and I need to have a little chat.’
Rafael: ‘Soon as Josie and I are done.’
Jed: ‘Actually, newb, I’m your alpha. You’re done when I say you’re done.’
Josie: ‘Well, would you look at the time. As fun as this hurricane of toxic masculinity is, I have to get to class.’
The 2nd illustration begins 17 minutes and 34 seconds into the episode. This is the scene where Jed and 2 others from the wolf pack beat up Rafael. Josie was there to stop it from getting worse. Here’s the quote:
Jed: ‘Foster kid. I’ve been looking for you.’
Rafael: ‘I’ll catch up with you later. I got to get to class.’ (2 from the wolf pack stop him) ‘Look, uh, Jed, right? I don’t want any problems.’
Jed: ‘Neither do we. We just want to initiate you into the pack. Okay. The process is simple. You triggered your werewolf curse this month, which means you hurt somebody recently. Maybe on purpose, maybe not. All you gotta do is tell us the story. That’s our rite of passage.’
Rafael: ‘Yeah, I’m not really a pack kinda guy.’
Jed: ‘You still don’t get it, do you? You don’t have a choice. You can either submit or you can bleed and then submit. It’s your call.’
Rafael tries to run away, but Jed and the other 2 from the wolf pack stop him and proceed to beat him up. Soon, Josie stops the fight using her magic.
Josie: ‘Hey, are you okay?’
Rafael: ‘Get off of me!(In spite of Rafael’s tolerance, you see it in his changed eye color that a sense of outperformance is overwhelming him.) Just stay away from me.’
This next scene is partly explained in www.wikipedia.org. Here is the explanation:
‘ Josie helps Rafael calm down after being harassed by the werewolf pack. ‘
In this scene, Rafael is experiencing an adverse sense of interacting with a sense of outperformance in an abandoned house. This scene is highly recommended to be watched. That scene, according to Amazon Video, starts 22 minutes and 22 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:
Rafael: (Rafael shouting and breaking things in the abandoned house)

Rafael: ‘I told you to leave me alone!’
Josie: ‘No, I can’t do that until you–No, just calm down!’
Rafael: ‘It’s not safe! It’s not safe! Get away!’
Josie: ‘Calm down. Close your eyes and breathe. Breathe. Just like me. Good. Breathe. Good. That’s more like it.’
Rafael: ‘Was that magic?’
Josie: ‘No. Just…years of practice with Lizzie, I guess’
Rafael: ‘I didn’t mean to scare you.’
Josie: ‘No. You can’t scare me. Hey. Hey. What scares me is that you’re dead if you don’t submit.’
Rafael: (sighs)
Josie: ‘Hey, no, it’s just the way it is.’
Rafael: ‘You’re the one talking about making change, right?’
Josie: ‘I meant adding an elective, not launching a revolution.’
Rafael: ‘Josie–‘
Josie: ‘Jed’s an alpha, okay? You’re a wolf, okay? That’s just the way it is. There’s no other way.’
The last scene from this episode starts 34 minutes and 52 seconds into the episode, Rafael is talking to Jed in order to join the wolf pack. Here is the quote:
Rafael: ‘Am I a part of the pack now?’
Jed: ‘Take a knee.'(Jed wants Rafael to kneel with one knee before him.)
Rafael: ‘What?’
Jed: ‘You’re gonna submit to your alpha, you take a knee.’
(That is when Rafael looks at Josie in disbelief and for support. That look, also, is an indication of Rafael adversely interacting with a sense of outperformance.)
The next illustrations are what I call ‘the last straw’ illustrations. These illustrations may be used as examples when people, mostly males, choose to become instigators. These illustrations are in episode 1.5 ‘Malivore’ from tv show drama ‘Legacies(2018)’. Again, the episode is available streaming for about 2 dollars Standard Definition. And according to Amazon Video, the 1st illustration starts 8 minutes and 15 seconds into the episode, Jed is sparring with a few members of the wolf pack. After he is done, Jed makes a request. Here is a quote:
Jed: ‘All right. I got a medieval history paper due at 2:00. Who’s on that?’
Rafael: ‘I’ll do it. But I need a favor.’
Jed: ‘You’ve been in the pack for five minutes, and you want a favor from your alpha?’
Rafael: ‘You’re obviously gonna be elected to the honor council. If it comes down to it, will you do what you can to keep Landon in?’
Jed: ‘That’s a great idea, foster kid. I’ll bring that up at the first meeting. So I can make sure your boy gets the boot.’
Rafael: ‘Why? I joined the pack. Yo, I’m following all the stupid rules that you made me…’
Jed: ‘Well, consider that punishment…for not respecting my authority when you got here. The rule is this: What the alpha says goes. And I say Landon goes.’
Before I continue, I want to talk about the situation Rafael is in with Jed. Based on my interpretation of the show ‘Legacies’, the reason the headmaster of the school, Alaric Saltzman(Matthew Davis) was creating the Honor Council was because of the arrival of Rafael and Landon. Their arrival basically shook their tree, so to speak. Before the arrival of Rafael and Landon, it was pretty black and white in that school, pretty orderly. Opportunities were processed by the students in a preferred context, with no intolerable problems. Soon after Rafael and Landon showed up, Alaric decided that they needed an Honor Council. Here’s a quote from Amazon.com about that:
‘ Tensions rise among the students after Alaric forms an honor council. ‘
So, what I’m trying to say is that Rafael is experiencing difficulty that the soon to be created Honor Council would eventually fix. The difficulty I am talking about is how Rafael was initiated into the wolf pack. I agree with Jed, when he would say many times to Rafael that he doesn’t know the rules to joining the wolf pack. It is my belief in the context of a tv show drama that Rafael should have been given some sort of ‘practice run’, some sort of preliminary, to help him join the wolf pack. Now, this is something that I just imagined, I don’t know for sure, but for certain opportunities given to employees in the business world in general, some employees choose to use their initiative to participate in ‘unofficial’ preliminaries before actively getting involved with certain newly acquired opportunities. Let’s say that every major city in America has a Chinatown, a place where many Chinese Americans, for example, would live in. A businessman would be a passenger to someone who has some sort of understanding about certain opportunities offered to businesspeople, and what that person would do is use what’s available, just supposedly use the scenery perceived while driving around in Chinatown, to verbally stage a preliminary participation with that businessman. Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that Rafael did not get such a ‘practice run’. The good news is that the soon to be created Honor Council will have the ability to address and resolve many issues, including the problems Rafael experienced when joining the wolf pack.
Going back to the ‘Legacies’ illustration, the next illustration from episode ‘Malivore’ starts 16 minutes and 22 seconds into the episode. This is when Rafael challenges Jed into a fight. If Rafael wins, he gets to become the new alpha, which will allow his friend Landon(Aria Shahghasemi) to stay in that school. Here is the quote:
Rafael: ‘We need to talk, Jed.’
Jed: ‘We already did.’
Rafael: ‘Just hear me out. I’ve got the vampires and the witches. But I need one more faction to make sure. Be nice to know I could count on my own pack.’
Jed: ‘Yeah, see, that’s the thing, Raf. They’re not your pack. They’re mine.’
Rafael: ‘Thought you might say that. I’ve actually been studying all those books you make other people read for you. Like ‘Intro to Lycanthropy’. An alpha has to face a challenger one-on-one. I didn’t want to do things this way. But if what the alpha says goes…I got to be the alpha.’
Rafael wins the fight against Jed, in order to be the new alpha, which should allow his friend Landon to stay in that school.
OK, if you watched those illustrations, you should have a sense of what the instigation identified by idea ‘Outperform’ feels like, based on certain interactions Rafael had with Jed. I plan on continuing this idea in Wishlist #1151, when I give you ideas to help improve your strategy. The main goal here is to help the future kids have a music video after reading Wishlist #1148, and I’m assuming they may choose to read, this list, Wishlist #1149, after reading Wishlist #1148, the ‘Pragmatic garbage’ and ‘Convey’ idea. I’m going to stop now, and I plan to continue next Saturday in Wishlist #1151. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
Look, I realize that I should give you more to work with when using idea ‘Outperform’. It’s already 4:33 PM for me, and I acknowledge that I should give you more. Of course, I’ve made a commitment to give you more next Saturday. At least you have an idea of what the instigation identified by idea ‘Outperform’ is. Like that old saying goes, ‘Knowing is half the battle.’ I’ll see you next Saturday.
