Salutations.
It is now 10:11 AM EST for me. Again, the WordPress format I am using has changed again. It’s taking me a few minutes to get used to it. OK. The music video I am recommending for this list is from the song ‘Chances’ by American vocal group ‘The Backstreet Boys’. Here are a few quotes about the group and the song ‘Chances’ from www.wikipedia.org:
‘ The Backstreet Boys (often abbreviated as BSB), are an American vocal group, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. ‘
‘ On November 9, the Backstreet Boys released the single “Chances” and announced the title of their upcoming album, DNA, set to be released on January 25, 2019. They will embark on the DNA World Tour in support of the album in May 2019. ‘
Here’s a quote from the lyrics of song ‘Chances’:
What are the chances that we’d end up dancing?
Like two in a million, like once in a life
I could have found you, put my arms around you
Like two in a million, like once in a life
What are the chances?
You can watch music video ‘Chances’ for free by searching for phrase ‘backstreet boys chances’ in www.youtube.com. It’s one of the 1st selections offered, with over 14 million views. According to youtube, music video ‘Chances’ was published Nov 8, 2018, over a month ago.
I was made aware of music video ‘Chances’ from a cable tv channel that I watch called ‘MTV Live’. The tv show that I watched from that channel is called ‘Epic.Awesome.Videos’, and I recorded that show 12/9/2018. I ‘fast forward’ through it earlier today, and that’s when I found music video ‘Chances’. The reason I chose music video ‘Chances’ was because the performance of ‘the Backstreet Boys’ gave me the impression that they were trying to give the people some sort of ‘status quo’ of acknowledgement, like a reasonable, public interpretation of how the US government is maintaining some sort of status quo to allow American businesses and individuals to learn and establish some sort of lifestyle in. For example, if you choose to watch the music video, the Backstreet Boys looks like they’re making a sincere effort to try to be entertaining for you to watch, even though they’ve been around for over 22 years. I’m assuming a lot of bands have only been popular for a few years, but the Backstreet Boys look like they’re making a sincere effort to stay in the public’s attention. In my opinion, a lot of the new music videos out there are trying to keep up with some sort of expectation in order for a certain amount of people to find them acceptable enough to watch. However, the Backstreet Boys are trying to sell the fact that they have been around for over 22 years, and it’s their familiarity that you may find interesting to watch, not their newness. Also, the new TRL episodes didn’t come out yet, and I don’t want to look at old TRL episodes from the internet. Older TRL episodes will show in channel ‘MTV Live’, but I think that’s starting this coming Sunday.
Emphasize:
[I’m going to buy some food in a restaurant early today, so that I’ll have more time to type as many ideas as I can in this list. So, I’m going to stop now, and resume typing an hour or so from now. I’ll see you then. It’s 10:48 AM EST for me now.
It is now 12:30 PM EST for me. 1st, I’ll introduce to you 3 beginning illustrations for idea ‘Emphasize’, then I’ll give you a generalistic answer illustration for idea ‘Emphasize’, and then I’ll start giving you variations for idea ‘Emphasize’. Although many of you may believe that idea ‘Pragmatic garbage’ is your favorite idea(Wishlist #1148)’, I believe that the variations from idea ‘Emphasize’ may be the best practical idea for you to use. Since there’s so many possible schools of thought involved in reading this blog, I could be wrong, of course. I just don’t want to always talk using disclaimers, such as saying ‘7 black crows in a circle’, and stuff like that(extrapolated from when ‘The Dream King’ talked to his sister, Desire, in ‘The Sandman’ comics).
The 1st recommended illustration is from the movie ‘Children of Men(2006)’, starring Clive Owen as Theo Faron, and Julianne Moore as Julian. The movie is available to be watched as a streaming rental from Amazon.com. Keep in mind that the scene is refurbished for advice with inaproprieities removed. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 24 minutes and 22 seconds into the movie, Theo and Julian are having an argument in a bus. Here is the quote:
Julian: ‘Oh move!’
Theo: ‘Oh yeah, there you go. That’s what you always do. When it gets tough, you walk away.’
Julian: ‘This is our stop.’
Theo: (After acclimating for a few seconds to the fact that he has to leave the bus, Theo leaves the bus seat and then leaves the bus.)
The 2nd illustration is from near end of movie ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels(1988)’, starring Michael Caine as Lawrence Jamieson, Steve Martin as Freddy Benson, and Glenne Headly as Janet Colgate. The movie is available as a streaming rental from Amazon.com, but if you have an Amazon Prime membership, you can watch the movie streaming with no additional payment. When you search for phrase ‘dirty rotten scoundrels’ in Amazon.com, select the option ‘Included with your Prime membership’. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 hour, 45 minutes, and 10 seconds into the movie, Janet is introducing potential investors to Lawrence. Here is the quote:
Janet Colgate: ‘So, Nikos Papadropolous…I’d like you to meet the favorite son of Australia, Chips O’Toole.’ (They are both not able to talk for a short moment.)
Lawrence and Freddy are still acclimating to the fact that Janet returned, after deceiving both of them
Janet: ‘Aren’t you gonna say anything?’
Lawrence: Lawrence was finally able to choose to go along with Janet’s plan. (Australian accent) ‘G’day, Nikos. How’s it going, sport?’ Good on you. Chips O’Toole. Hotels and all from down under.’
Janet: ‘You still have any of those situations available in Sydney?’
Lawrence: ‘No, it’s all gone. Never mind, Nikos. People drop out, don’t they? Anyway, come on up the house, we’ll put some shrimps on the barbie for you.’
Janet: ‘Hey, I almost forgot somebody. Mr. Junior Partner. The man Chips can’t do without. The Whiz Kid, Randy Bentwick. Unfortunately, Randy is a mute.(Janet even slaps Freddy in the face, indicating to Freddy that he is still acclimating to the con that Lawrence and Janet are now doing.)
The 3rd illustration is all in episode 1.1 ‘New Life and a Vampire’ from Japanese animated tv show ‘Rosario + Vampire(2008)’. The episode is available for purchase from Amazon.com Standard Definition for about 2 dollars. I am not recommending that you watch the entire series, just certain scenes from that 1 episode. But if you decide to watch more, I recommend that you watch them from www.funimation.com, because it’s cheaper from funimation. Here’s an explanation of that episode from www.wikipedia.org:
‘ Average student Tsukune Aono does not get accepted into any local high schools but his parents are more than happy to have him enroll in the boarding school Yokai Academy after his father had a lucky encounter with a drunk man in a white monks robe. He encounters and befriends Moka Akashiya, a vampire that becomes enchanted by the scent of his human blood. However, he discovers that Yokai is a school for monsters. According to the school rules, the students must retain their human forms on academy grounds and any humans who manage to get past the schools magic protection barrier are to be removed from the school. Tsukune tries to run away from the school but has a confrontation with Moka. A fight with a delinquent student named Saizo Komiya quickly endangers Tsukune’s life right before he accidentally removes the rosary on Moka’s neck, which transforms Moka into a powerful vampire with silver hair that easily defeats Saizo. ‘
Here is a scene 6 minutes and 52 seconds into the episode:
Shizuka: ‘My name is Shizuka Nekonome, and I’ll be your teacher.’
7 minutes and 13 seconds into the episode:
Shizuka: ‘Currently, this planet is well under the control of humans. So, in order for monsters like you and I to survive, class, the only option that we have is to learn how to coexist with them. And that brings us to…our first rule! Except in special circumstances, as long as you’re on campus, you must always remain in your human form. Everybody got that? Rule number two: never, ever reveal your monster identity to another student…Everyone will follow these rules, right?’
I’ve only watched a few of these episodes, but so far, I think that most of the students pretty much follow those rules. However, the tv show focuses on the main characters, and they seem to always get into fights with other students, and those fights involve not following those 2 rules. For example, every time one of the main characters, Moka, has the rosario around her neck removed, Moka transforms into a powerful vampire with a completely different personality. So, far, based on those few episodes that I watched, when Moka transforms into a powerful vampire, she becomes the most powerful student in that school. Here’s another quote from episode 1.1, when Moka begins to fight the bully Saizo. That scene starts 20 minutes and 19 seconds into the episode:
Saizo: ‘Oh, man. The tales…they’re true! The red eyes…The silver hair…the overwhelming energy…! She’s an ‘S’ class supermonster…A real vampire!’
Moka: ‘So then, I suppose the one who woke me up was you, huh?’
Saizo: ‘What’s wrong with me! I mean, she’s only staring at me but I can’t stop shaking. No, this isn’t right! Hey, pull it together, man! ‘Cause if you took down a vampire…!’
Moka: ‘It’s time for you to know your place.’ (A Japanese animated display of power from Moka to Saizo occurs.)
Saizo: (Saizo admitting defeat) ‘Yes, ma’am. I’ll remember that.’
So, here’s the basic definition of idea ‘Emphasize’: An instigator may improperly impose a contemplation emphasis, like a decoy, that contemplationally influences your objectivity. So, what I am going to try to do is help you contemplationally become more reasonably objective when you encounter instigation interjections that adversely contemplationally emphasize. The 1st illustration example, from the movie ‘Children of Men’, and that scene was refurbished to be used here, was to show you a woman, Julian, who was able to stop arguing with a man, Theo. You use the illustration from the movie to imagine that Julian used a preferred sense of objectivity when she stopped arguing with Theo. Here is a quote from the movie ‘Children of Men’ when it happened:
Theo: ‘Oh yeah, there you go. That’s what you always do. When it gets tough, you walk away.’
Julian: ‘This is our stop.’
The illustration from the movie ‘Children of Men’, even though it’s a short scene, it’s highly recommended that you watch that scene, so that you can get a feeling of what it’s like to have such a sense of objectivity.
The 2nd illustration from the movie ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ is to show you 2 men who have trouble acclimating to an interjecting emphasis that a woman created for them to experience. When that woman came back to introduce to them a new opportunity, those 2 men still had difficulty interacting with that woman. They were both speechless for a short time. Eventually, one of them spoke, but the other was still speechless. This quote from the movie shows you that the man, Freddy Benson, still wasn’t able to talk, even as the 2nd man, Lawrence, and Janet, were now participating with the ongoing con:
Janet: ‘Hey, I almost forgot somebody. Mr. Junior Partner. The man Chips can’t do without. The Whiz Kid, Randy Bentwick. Unfortunately, Randy is a mute.(Janet even slaps Freddy in the face, indicating to Freddy that he is still acclimating to the con that Lawrence and Janet are now doing.)
The 3rd illustration from the 1st episode of animated series ‘Rosario + Vampire’ is based on the assumption that you experienced instigation at school and/or at work. If you haven’t, then the illustration may still be useful to you as a reference. The episode introduces you to 2 rules the students should follow, and how most of the main characters do not follow those rules as they fight with certain students. The purpose of those illustrations is to help you differentiate between acceptable conduct and conduct that is contemplationally troubling you induced by the instigation.
So, here’s the solution I invented for general idea ‘Emphasize’. I invented this solution yesterday, 12/14/2018, after I left the public laundromat I would usually wash my clothes in. Basically, you’re combining the ‘Cone’ idea(Wishlist #1145) with the ‘Doors’ idea invented from episode 1.7 ‘Third Aunt from the Sun’ from fantasy tv show ‘Sabrina, the Teenage Witch(1996)’, starring Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina Spellman, and Raquel Welch as Vesta. Here’s an episode description from www.wikipedia.org:
‘ Sabrina gets a surprise visit from her Aunt Vesta (Raquel Welch), Hilda and Zelda’s older, and much less responsible, sister. Vesta shows Sabrina the fun side of being a witch, and later tricks Hilda and Zelda into letting Sabrina stay with her at the “Pleasure Dome,” her home in the Other Realm. When Sabrina discovers that she has the choice to stay in the Other Realm and enjoy her magic forever, she is forced to make a tough decision. ‘
Episode ‘Third Aunt from the Sun’ is available streaming from Amazon.com. If you have Amazon Prime, streaming is available without additional payment. The relevant part of that episode is when Aunt Vesta shows Sabrina the doors in her ‘Pleasure Dome’. According to Amazon Video, that starts 8 minutes and 59 seconds into the episode. Here’s a quote:
Sabrina: ‘Great. What a cool place. So, I guess you’re really into doors.’
Aunt Vesta: ‘Behind each one is a wish fulfilled. Go ahead. Take a look.’
You may watch the entire episode refurbished with inaproprieities removed for further understanding. The episode is refurbished to represent what it’s like during your breaks, such as your lunch break, school break, and/or job break. When you’re on break, closed doors represent participations you are not actively using, since you’re just relaxing. Other people are participating in other activities around you, but you are on your break, and may not be obligated to participate in such activities. So, using the ‘Cone’ idea(Wishlist #1145) to identify what sense of intent you choose to obligate and give emphasis to, and using that ‘Sabrina’ episode, just imagine someone from your school or job that you experienced instigation from, and imagine that person shown to you in a context that is acceptable for your school or job. In the beginning, imagine a few doors around them are open, and those doors represent what is bothering you about that instigator, how the instigation is adversely affecting you. Just imagine closing those few doors, and what is left should be how that instigator should present himself/herself while he/she is attending his/her school or job. And, of course, you’re also using those 3 illustrations I recommended to you in the beginning of this list.
Of course, since it’s you’re idea, you can change the recommendation, if you want to. For example, you can add more doors, change their physical appearance, in relation to advice, so that you can make the idea work in your mind. When you use the ‘Cone’ idea, it’s meant to help you identify what acknowledgements you can reasonably give them, and more tenably allocate the acknowledgements that are bothering you. So, for example, if that instigator presents to you yet another instigation while at school or at work, you can still give importance to what you believe is reasonable and relevant, and simultaneously allocate the non relevant bits. In other words, even when you are at home, with this ‘Doors’ idea, you should be able to be less bothered by their nonsense. Also, this idea is designed to be upgraded by the variations I plan to type for idea ‘Emphasize’.
[To make this easier for me to explain, I’ll finish this list now, and explain the variations for idea ‘Emphasize’ in the next list. Since it’s already 4:08 PM EST for me, I plan to explain the variations next Saturday. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
Violence and viewer discretion for movie ‘Children of Men’. Rated PG viewer discretion for movie ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’. TV-14 animated violence and viewer discretion for tv series ‘Rosario + Vampire’. Use only refurbished for advice references recommended. Throw away rest of episode, tv show, and movie. [Use mental bookmarks ‘Emphasize’ and ‘Doors’ for reference, allocation, and prevention when needed.
