Salutations.

It is now 11:21 AM EST for me. Because of the music video I finally chose for this advice, I have to prepare you for something. If you choose to, it just requires 1 short illustration, and some explanation, so to speak. Oh, and also the music video I chose. So, to start, I recommend that you watch a scene from episode 1.19 ‘The Honey Offering’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Andromeda(2001)’. The scene is available as a streaming purchase for about 2 dollars from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 10 minutes and 4 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote, which is also the scene I recommend that you use:

Trance Gemini(Laura Bertram): ‘She doesn’t like flowers. Who doesn’t like flowers?’

Beka Valentine(Lisa Ryder): ‘She called me Kludge.’

Trance: ‘Well, at least she didn’t call you monkey.’

Rev Bem(Brent Stait): ‘Even as Nietzscheans goes, this Elsbett, well… she tries my Wayist patience.’

Beka: ‘There’s only one person on this ship pathetic enough to like her.’

Seamus Harper(Gordon Michael Woolvett): ‘Hey, she’s hot.’

Beka: ‘Really. I find that attitude somewhat ruins her looks.’

Tyr Anasazi(Keith Hamilton Cobb): ‘Believe me, boy. Elsbett holds you in utter contempt.’

Harper: ‘I know. She’s hot and she’s a good judge of character. So what if she hold me in utter contempt. At least she’s thinking of me.’

After Harper said that, everyone leaves that area except Trance.

Trance: ‘What kind of a person doesn’t like flowers?’

It is my belief that, if you experienced mild to moderate forms of instigations at school and/or at work, then such instigations may have reduced somewhat your ability to participate with such identities of instigations. In the quoted ‘Andromeda’ episode, refurbished for advice, Elssbett Mossadim(Kimberly Huie) has obviously discouraged most of the crew of Andromeda from participating with her in a generalistic sense. The point I am trying to make is that it should benefit you a great deal if you have the ability to continue participating, even though such participations have discouraging elements, like what Elssbett Mossadim did to most of the Andromeda crew.

Daunting:

As of 11:51 AM EST, I invented a word for this warning. It is ‘daunting’. I didn’t have a word for it, not until recently. I am using 2 definitions from www.dictionary.com: 1)’to overcome with fear; intimidate:’, to daunt one’s adversaries, and 2)’to lessen the courage of; dishearten:’, Don’t be daunted by the amount of work still to be done.

If you are daunted by mild to moderate forms of instigations, don’t allow such daunting to cause you to not have the ability to participate with such daunting. If you choose not to participate, that’s up to you. But at least have the ability to participate. And that brings me to the music video that I chose for this advice. I looked at the home page of youtube when it’s fully uploaded, and I reset it at least 2 more times, and this is the choice I finally made. It’s not a preferred choice, but I had to choose something. The music video is called ‘High Horse’ by Kacey Musgraves. Just search for phrase ‘kacey musgraves’ in www.youtube.com, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered. It has over 5.7 million views, and it was published Jul 12, 2018, over a year and a half ago. I chose that music video because Kacey Musgraves, according to wikipedia, in the 11th Annual Shorty Awards held on May 5, 2019, she was nominated for ‘Best in Music’.

If you choose to watch the music video ‘High Horse’, based on my interpretation of the music video, there’s a man in it that seems to be an example of a person that seemingly daunts other workers. Maybe he doesn’t know it, but Kacey Musgraves seems to believe that he is daunting. Here’s a quote from the lyrics of song ‘High Horse’:

Oh I bet you think you’re John Wayne
Showing up, shooting down everybody
You’re classic in the wrong way
And we all know the end of the story

‘Cause everyone knows someone who kills the buzz
Every time they open up their mouth
Yeah, everyone knows someone who knows someone
Who thinks they’re cooler than everybody else

—

So, to be clear as to the use of music video ‘High Horse’, I recommend that you have the ability to work with such a man, even though he may be daunting to work with. If you choose to not work with him in a certain capacity, that’s up to you. But I believe you should at least have the ‘ability’ to work with him. And, of course, he’s just one example of a person being daunting. Extrapolated, he can help you create other examples, such as examples depicted by other men, women, and kids.

—

I also chose one of the Super Bowl 2020 commercials. Just search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘superbowl 2020 commercials’, and there’s a selection that says ‘Super Bowl Commercials 2020’. Click that, and there are 45 videos. The one I recommend is #44, ‘Doritos® Super Bowl 2020 Teaser – Monologue Super Bowl Teaser feat Sam Elliott’. Based on my interpretation of it, Sam Elliott seems to be portraying a cowboy entering a bar from the Old West. He’s making some sort of threat, everyone in that bar listens, and then he leaves. I think it’s funny, and somehow, that’s supposed to be a commercial for Doritos chips. I thought you might like it.

Refrain:

It is now 2:07 PM EST for me. This part of idea ‘Refrain’ is what gives it it’s effectiveness. Here’s the illustration I choose to explain that effectiveness. It is in episode 11.4 ‘Treehouse of Horror X’ from animated tv series ‘The Simpsons(1999)’. That is the episode where Lucy Lawless from tv series ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ is wearing her Xena outfit. She’s in a comic book store where at least most of the fans are teenage boys and men. Someone with a huge magnet catches Xena, and in order to get free of that magnet, she was in the process of removing some of her armor which was covering the chest part of her body. When those teenage boys and men noticed that she was removing that part of her armor, she chose to leave it on. The episode is available for purchase streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 10 minutes and 7 second into the episode. Here is the quote:

It viagra online no rx http://robertrobb.com/2017/04/ is commonly used in chiropractic care. They may require taking x-rays in order to rule out torn muscles or serious issues that could call for urgent no prescription sildenafil medical attention. Hence the branded drug best viagra in uk manufacturers are forced to hike the prices of their products to compensate with the missed dose. With this in mind, it is very important know about these kind of side canada viagra sales selling here effects.

Lucy Lawless: (as her body was stuck to the big magnet) ‘Must remove… my breastplate!’

When the teenage boys and men noticed that she was removing her breastplate, they started photographing and filming her.

Lucy Lawless: ‘Maybe later.’

Composure response:

Even though I talked about ‘Composure response’ before, this is how I invented idea ‘Composure response’ recently and for idea ‘Refrain’: While I am waiting for the bus in order to go to work, a few people would run in order to catch the bus. Earlier today, I realized that I never noticed a woman that I would find attractive run to catch the bus. I am guessing that, if a woman believes that, if she runs to catch the bus, and there are at least a few men there who would see her run, and if she runs she will get the attention of those men, then she will choose not to run. In that ‘Simpsons’ episode, Lucy Lawless chose to not remove her metal breastplate because she did not want to get the attention of those teenage boys and men, not that way. And I am guessing that there are women who choose to not run to catch the bus because they do not want to get the attention of teenage boys and men, not that way.

I believe that all people have many virtues. So, when I say ‘attractive woman’, it’s based on my personal preference of women that I find attractive. And even as an adult, I can’t remember a time when an obviously attractive woman would run to catch the bus.

So, who are the people that I notice running to catch the bus? I notice from time to time women, men, and teenage boys running to catch the bus. And a lot of times, when they run to catch the bus, based on my personal experience, it’s not something that you would want to keep looking at as they run to catch the bus. And based on that experience, that is how I invented idea ‘Composure response’. This is the idea: It is my belief that, when certain people run to catch the bus in a bus terminal, they take into consideration that other people may be watching them as they run to catch the bus. So, they learn to present themselves to run in a way that may not be pleasant to see. Here’s a question for you: if you have ever waited for a bus in a bus terminal, have you ever seen a person run to catch the bus, and you would avoid looking at that person? That is because you have learned from experience that it’s not a pleasant experience to see a person in general run to catch the bus. It’s not like you are averting your eyes so that you don’t see them. It’s just easy to not make an effort to look that that person. It happens a lot.

So, let me explain one moment slowed down of a person wanting you to have an unpleasant experience when you notice him or her running to catch the bus. Based on my observations and belief, when a person wants you to have an unpleasant experience while watching him/her running to catch the bus, that person may try to define a certain sense of composure response that you experience as you watch that person run to catch the bus. And here’s the trick: even though that person caused you to have an unpleasant composure response experience, it’s still your composure response, and with practice, you may define more how you evaluate and experience such a composure response. As I give you more ideas, if you choose to, you should be able to more obviously evaluate such an experience with more control, based on how you used to do it, and that way is usually more at the mercies of the instigator.

Of course it’s just a movie, but in this movie, a lawyer, before representing his client in court again, was sick in the bathroom. He later told the jury that he ‘was sick this morning’. Why would he say that? I’m guessing that, and I’m not a lawyer, I’m just guessing, that he knows that juries are easily influenced by the feeling of being sick. If they respond to testimony that makes them feel sick, then that experience would easily be used in their judgment. So, what that lawyer did was present another reason for feeling sick, a reason that favors his client. That is an example of another person trying to change a jury’s composure response. That movie is ‘Rules of Engagement(2000)’, starring Tommy Lee Jones as Colonel Hayes Hodges. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and there is no additional payment required if you have Amazon Prime. According to Amazon Video, Colonel Hayes being sick/throwing up in the bathroom was shown 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 4 seconds into the movie. When he was talking about being sick in the bathroom to the jury, that scene starts 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 57 seconds into the movie:

Colonel Hayes: ‘It is what made me sick this morning.’

So, if you choose to use this idea, the 1st lesson is to ‘snap out of’ the unpleasant experience a person who is running to catch the bus may want you to have. For starters, even though that person is causing you to feel that composure response, it is still your composure response, and you can change how you evaluate that composure response feeling. As an example, you can evaluate it as a composure response that you are choosing to approach, instead of the usual composure response that has an unpleasant feeling, and therefore you may likely try to avoid such an unpleasant feeling. By evaluating such an experience as something that you are choosing to approach instead of choosing to avoid, you are making an obvious effort to re-evaluate such a sense of composure response.

Let’s try an imagination example: If you are a working adult, let’s say you’re a non-managerial employee, imagine that all of the people that work in your job, including managerial employees, from time to time, make an obvious effort to treat other people as if they are their servants. For example, your boss goes to you and starts treating you as if he/she is your servant, in an obvious sense, like a servant that works in a mansion, and like he/she works for you. Now, since you know you are a non-managerial employee, and you have been working with this odd behavior from many of the people you work with for years, even though your boss is treating you like he/she is your servant, you are still treating him/her as a non-managerial employee. You see? Even though you are experiencing a composure response that is showing you that your boss wants to be treated as your servant, you’re re-evaluating that composure response, and you are still interacting with your boss as a non-managerial employee. In this imagined example, you can sense an obvious improvement, that you are able to re-evaluate your composure response, even though your composure response may get, for example, something contradictory.

In that imagined ‘servant’ exercise, the people that you work with only present themselves as servants to you from time to time. They don’t do that regularly.

And now, if you are an adult with past experiences with mild to moderate forms of instigations, you should be able to recall past instigations that try to define your composure response, and you should be able to at least mitigate/lessen that adverse effect, with the belief that that feeling is your composure response, even though the instigator is indicating to you that he/she is adversely somewhat responsible in causing you to feel in such a way.

Here’s a ‘misery loves company’ example of someone manipulating another person’s composure response. The example is in episode 1.5 ’12 Hours’ from action tv series ‘Transporter: The Series(2012)’. If you want to, refurbished with inaproprieities removed, you can watch that entire conversation involving Giles(Josh Blacker), Dieter Hausmann(Charly Hubner), and Frank Martin(Chris Vance). I’ve used this reference several times before. I just want to quote the highlights. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts near the end of that episode, 46 minutes and 38 seconds into that episode, refurbished:

Giles: ‘You’re not such a bad person after all, Dieter.’

Dieter: ‘Thanks.’

Giles turns around and looks at the actual Dieter Hausmann, and the actual Dieter Hausmann rolls his eyes back.

—

To me, it looks like that Dieter Hausmann doesn’t have an actual technique to manage instigations, as well as manage his composure responses. So, when Giles talked to Frank Martin, complimenting him but as Dieter Hausmann, the actual Dieter Hausmann said ‘Thanks.’ to Giles. Giles turned around, because the man that said ‘Thanks’ kept saying in a way that he was not Dieter Hausmann. He kept saying to Giles that ‘Dieter Hausmann is not here.’ So, when you feel that an instigator is trying to define yet again something about your composure response, you may recall Dieter Hausmann rolling his eyes, when Giles turned around and looked at him. I’m not saying that you lied. That’s just a refurbished example to relate to, when Dieter Hausmann’s composure response is also being defined by another person. That is the ‘misery loves company’ example.

[It is now 3:57 PM EST for me. I’ll begin explaining idea ‘Refrain’ next Saturday. It’s a little involved. I can type something now, but I would rather wait until next Saturday. I will take off from work this coming Monday, 1/20/2020, Martin Luther King Day, but I have some DVD’s and cable tv to catch up with, as well as some other stuff. And that means that this coming Saturday, I’ll have to find another music video and maybe a commercial, tv show, or movie trailer. So, if you are there this coming Saturday, I’ll see you then.

It is now 3:36 PM EST for me, 1/25/2020. In case you don’t know, I made Wishlist #1214 before finishing this list. I continued to Wishlist #1214 instead of continuing from this list. I am closing this list now, and I just finished Wishlist #1214. It’s a little out of sequence, a little out of order is all.
