Salutations.

It is now 10:25 AM EST for me.

What I’ll do is give you the music video and tv show trailer 1st, complain a little, then decide what type of advice to give you. I was thinking it should be either advice to help the beginners, or the latest idea I invented this past Thursday, and I still have the epiphany for it. I have decided that both are acceptable for me to type in, but I only have time to type in one.

The music video I am recommending for this list is called ‘Blueberry Eyes’ featuring SUGA. The reference is that I found it and watched it for the 1st time earlier today from www.youtube.com, publisher TopMusicWorld. Search and click that publisher, and it’s in category ‘New Songs 2020’. Click ‘New Songs Of September 2020’ published Sep 29, 2020, and you get a video clip of many new music videos. The video clip for music video ‘Blueberry Eyes’ starts 1 minute and 9 seconds into that generalistic video clip. Here’s a quote from republicworld.com about music video ‘Blueberry Eyes’:

‘ BTS’ Suga’s new collaboration song with MAX that is Blueberry Eyes out now. The music video is everything blue…. ‘

‘ MAX took to Instagram to share snippets and pictures from his shoot for Blueberry Eyes song. The music video has had a lot of ‘blue aesthetics’ and also features MAX’s wife Emily. ‘

‘ Emily is my actual wife and she is really pregnant right now with our first child, so art imitates life in a fun way with this video. We studied and memorized all of the Korean lyrics to Suga’s incredible and romantic verse and all of the blueberries in the bathtub ended up being reused to create limited edition blueberry dyed blueberry eyes shirts. ‘

And here’s a quote from the lyrics:

I’m running through my dreams
To see you in the light
‘Cause I get so lost in
Your blueberry eyes

—

So, the reason I chose this music video to recommend to you is because I think you may find it entertaining to watch how the color of blue is used in the music video ‘Blueberry Eyes’. Somewhere in the song, according to the quote, it’s using Korean lyrics. I don’t know what the lyrics mean, but it was selected by TopMusicWorld. During the Korean lyrics, they look like they’re renewing their wedding vows, since they’re already married.

According to www.youtube.com, the music video premiered Sep 15, 2020, about 2 weeks ago, and it already has almost 15 million views!

—

The tv show trailer I’m recommending doesn’t have any specific clips about the show. It’s called ‘The Equalizer’ starring Queen Latifah, and it will show on CBS. To watch the 29 second clip, search in www.youtube.com for the phrase ‘the equalizer cbs trailer’. I’m recommending it because when adults watch it, I expect that most of them will imagine the African American/black women that they work with to be ‘The Equalizer’. I think that will create an imaginitively interesting effect in America. Here’s a quote from the youtube link:

‘ Watch Academy Award nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah (Chicago, Bessie)—along with Executive Producers and co-Creators Terri Miller and Andrew Marlowe— explain more about The Equalizer, a new CBS crime drama that reimagines the classic series. Latifah plays an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn. Watch the series premiere of The Equalizer this fall on CBS and CBS All Access. ‘

—

And now, the complaining part. 1st, I want to try to fix what I recommending last week, when I recommended that you watch ‘Long Way Up’. Here’s a quote:

‘ Long Way Up is a British television series which debuted September 18, 2020 documenting a motorcycle journey undertaken in 2019 by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, from Ushuaia in Argentina through South and Central America to Los Angeles in the United States. ‘

—

I think it wasn’t until a day or so after I typed that in that I realized that some? of the kids who watched that trailer may have made comments about it, specifically that scene when Ewan McGregor asked the kids if they watched the movie ‘Star Wars’, and the kids seemed to have indicated that none of them have. The scene starts 1 minute and 55 seconds into the trailer: Here’s the actual quote:

Ewan McGregor: ‘I’m an actor.’

(I think the teacher asked the question): ‘What films have you made?’

Ewan: ‘Did anybody see… Star Wars?’

Ewan: ‘No. Don’t think so. None of these kids have seen anything I’ve done!’

—

I imagined some? of the kids commenting on that scene. Unfortunately for me, I imagined this ‘after the fact’. So, I’m going to try and fix it. I’m presenting a context that says I COMPLETELY AGREE with the kids, and here is a possible explanation why you made those comments. I’m not sure myself, but I think it’s possible based on how I evaluated the trailer: the kids in that trailer don’t have a lot of experience with smart phones. To be clear, so to speak, I LOVE those kids. Ewan McGregor is just interacting with kids that are not very familiar with American customs and mannerisms, specifically, the use of smart phones. So, when he said the phrase

‘Did anybody see… Star Wars?’

And those kids indicated that they did not see that movie, it was their inexperience with smart phone technology and their lack of familiarity with American culture that exacerbated/emphasized your comments.

—

All right. It is 12:12 PM EST for me. I have decided to give you the basic, beginning ideas(well, I call it that), pretty much, beginning ideas that I haven’t given yet, that I have invented/selected for the new readers, and readers in general. Let’s start with the idea called ‘Stink eye’:

Stink eye:

I’m not even looking at google as to what that means. The meaning of ‘Stink eye’ is extrapolated from a Japanese animated tv show that I watched. Unfortunately for me, I don’t remember specifically the tv show where it came from. I only remember it’s details: In that scene, there was this conference filled with young Japanese police officers, and the chief? was giving a speech to all of them. 2 of those officers were talking during that speech, and so what happened is that their boss/chief gave them the ‘stink eye’, which was to cause those 2 officers to stop talking and to listen. The reason it is called a ‘stink eye’ is because, soon after their boss stopped lecturing to give them that physical gesture, one of those chatty students in that animated scene actually explained what his boss did! That police officer in the show actually called it a ‘stink eye’ in the show. I’m still disappointed that I wasn’t able to find that episode. I’m sure I didn’t imagine it.

The 2nd reference for ‘Stink eye’ is from that old photo of Sophia Loren looking in a concerned manner at how at the time she believed to be excessively revealing the way Jayne Mansfield wore her dress. To look at that phote, just search for phrase in google.com ‘stink eye sophia loren Jayne Mansfield’. Here’s a quote from www.ew.com from Sophia Loren what happened:

‘ She came right for my table. She knew everyone was watching. She sat down. And now, she was barely… Listen. Look at the picture. Where are my eyes? I’m staring at her nipples because I am afraid they are about to come onto my plate. In my face you can see the fear. I’m so frightened that everything in her dress is going to blow—BOOM!—and spill all over the table. ‘

If you search using the phrase ‘stink eye’, you should find link that reference Sophia Loren’s look as giving a ‘stink eye’.

—

Idea ‘Stink eye’ is meant to help you identify when an instigator is imposing upon you some sort of blame without actually talking to you, and especially when you have done nothing wrong. I believe that one purpose of the ‘Stink eye’ is to cause to you interact with a certain comprising that the instigator wants you to interact with. For example, when an instigator gives you the ‘Stink eye’, that instigator wants you to think of him/her talking to management about something that he/she obviously did wrong, but also that conversation addresses particulars you should also not interact with. According to my belief, it is one way, a very popular way in my opinion, for an instigator to cause you to contemplationally interact with something without actually talking to you.

It is now 1:08 PM EST for me. I forgot to talk about my experience with Uber and Uber eats. Yesterday, I’ve made the deduction that, if you receive 2 cancellations from Uber Eats, for example, the restaurant cancelled your order, and you chose to cancel the next order because that restaurant doesn’t have certain items, that may cause the debit/credit card that you are using to ‘turn off’, and if you try to make more orders, those orders since they didn’t go through may cause the Uber program to no longer use your debit/credit card for any Uber and Uber Eats purchases. The solution I discovered was to use the option offered by Amazon.com called ‘Uber Gift Card – Email Delivery’. According to a google search, your Uber/Uber Eats account can store up to $1000. You can email yourself up to $200 at a time, and you should receive the email within 5 minutes. So, if you want to give yourself $400, just buy 2 emails worth $200 each to your smart phone email.

When you receive the email, you will be given a series of numbers and capital letters. Go to your Uber/Uber Eats account, select ‘Payment’ select ‘Add Payment Method’, and then select ‘Gift Card’. And that is when you add that code. Earlier today, Amazon.com temporarily placed my Amazon account on hold when I was doing this. They sent me an email to my Iphone, and then I called the number. The representative I was talking to said that my credit card did not accept the charge, and she wanted to submit a form that would be addressed in one day. I said that I wanted to talk to my credit card company, and that I would call back instead. I talked to my credit card company, and they said that my account has no restrictions, that it is not turned off, and that no charges were declined. I then called back Amazon.com, told them what I was told, and I then changed my password, and I made the Uber charge while the representative was on the phone. Everything works now. I believe that happened because it was the 1st time I was using Amazon’s Uber Eats fund delivery for the 1st time, and they suspected those charges as possible fraudulent charges, which they weren’t. I still had to clear it up with them.

Also, if you added funds using this method, you may have to ‘Sign Out’ from the Uber/Uber Eats app, then sign back on in order to use those funds. That’s what happened to me yesterday, when I added more funds to it. I had to ‘Sign Out’, then sign back on, and then it worked. I also took out the other payment methods. Only the ‘Gift Cards’ balance is there. So, what I plan to do with Uber and Uber Eats from now on is to just maintain a certain balance. For example, if I maintain a $300 balance every week, that doesn’t mean I’ll spend $300 a week. This money is mostly going to food orders anyway, so if I didn’t make any food orders for that week, and I didn’t use the Uber app for riding, then I don’t have to add any money to that balance, since it’s still $300. And if you’re using your ‘Gift Card’ balance for riding, based on my experience, the Uber app doesn’t allow tips to be given to the drivers, so you may have to carry some cash for tip to give the Uber driver. However, it is normal/does allow tips to be given when using the Uber Eats app.

As for the code itself, since the code from the Gift Card is in capital letters and numbers, I learned using google.com how to keep the caps lock. I don’t know for sure if the code is case sensitive. I search in www.google.com for phrase ‘iphone se how to turn on caps lock’, and this is what google said:

When you tap the shift button (up arrow at the left side of the screen) on the keyboard it will act as a normal shift and make one letter caps. For caps lock, double tap the shift button and it will turn blue. Everything you type will be caps until you turn off caps lock by tapping the shift button once more.

—

So, basically, that ‘Up’ arrow you use to change the letters, just touch it twice very quickly, and that’s your caps lock. It automatically turns off when you switch to numbers.

If you typed in the wrong letter(s) and/or number(s), I learned yesterday how to move the cursor to the middle, somewhere in between. I searched for phrase ‘iphone se edit middle of word’:

If your cursor is already active, tap the word you want to jump to, which will land the cursor at the beginning or end of the word. Then, long-press the middle of the word, let go, and watch your cursor appear in the middle.

Erectile dysfunction is, for the most part, commander levitra robertrobb.com I pretended to have no idea what it really is.

So, just keep your finger on the spot where you want to put the cursor on for a little while, and the cursor(vertical line?) should move there, allowing you to just change one or more characters, instead of just deleting the whole thing and starting over.

The reason I am giving you this advice is because I believe, don’t know for sure, that a lot of people really like the Uber Eats service, but they don’t want to keep getting new debit/credit cards just to use it. I’ve considered getting their Uber debit Visa card, but I think that’s only available to Uber drivers, not Uber riders. Based on my experience, you should have no problems using the Gift Card money, and if you still have a debit/credit card that works with Uber and Uber Eats, I recommend that you only use it for Uber rides, and not for Uber Eats. Just use the Uber Gift Card money for Uber Eats primarily, and you should have no problems with card cancellations, since you are just using Gift Card money. Also, Amazon.com will email you your Gift Card money within minutes after you purchase it.

Laughing:

According to www.dictionary.com, ‘laughter’ means ‘an expression or appearance of merriment or amusement.’ I believe that using certain acceptable forms of laughter to help you cope with experiencing mild to moderate forms of instigation can be very useful to you. One such form of laughter that I am recommending for you to use is called a ‘roast’. Here is the definition of ‘roast’ from wikipedia.org:

‘ A roast is a form of humor in which a specific individual, a guest of honor, is subjected to jokes at their expense, intended to amuse the event’s wider audience. Such events are intended to honor a specific individual in a unique way. In addition to jokes and insult comedy, such events may also involve genuine praise and tributes. The implication is that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good humor and not as serious criticism or insult. The individual is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening. The party and presentation itself are both referred to as a “roast”. The host of the event is called the “roastmaster“. Anyone who is mocked in such a way is said to have been “roasted”. ‘

—

The only roast I am recommending for this blog that takes into consideration kids watching it, and of course you remove the inapproprieities, is ‘The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner’. The roast is available streaming from Amazon.com. To find it, select ‘Prime Video’, then use words ‘comedy central roast william shatner’, or select another roast that is streaming, then select ‘Season 2’ if that works. Here’s a quote about that roast from www.wikipedia.org:

‘ The Roast was nominated for a 2007 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special. ‘

Since the roast focused on William Shatner’s ‘Star Trek’ career, a lot of actors and actresses from the ‘Star Trek’ tv shows and movies attended as guests, and they gave Shatner a standing ovation. In other words, even though it’s probably been years since I watched it, the language used in that roast I believe is pretty much acceptable. Just remove/don’t use the inappropriate language if any.

The point of knowing of such a reference is to reveal to you that there are forms of laughter can be used in your favor, to help you experience certain mild to moderate forms of instigation. Here’s a partial quote from the definition of ‘roast’:

‘ The implication is that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good humor and not as serious criticism or insult. The individual is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening. ‘

—

So, for example, if you choose to watch that roast, you may see William Shatner’s friends and colleagues humorously insult him, and he is laughing about it!

The basketball court is the same size:

For this next idea, I’m using a scene from the movie ‘Hoosiers(1987)’. I’m going to quote Wishlist #1237, which was made Jul 18, 2020:

o help you understand the example I am about to type in, here is a quote from movie ‘Hoosiers(1986)’, starring Gene Hackman as Coach Norman Dale. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and if have Amazon Prime, no additional payment is required. The scene, according to Amazon Video, starts 1 hour, 34 minutes, and 24 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Coach: ‘Buddy? Hold this under the backboard. What is it?’

Buddy(Brad Long): ‘Fifteen feet.’

Coach: ‘Fifteen feet. Strap, put Ollie on your shoulders. Measure this, from the rim. Buddy? How far?’

‘Ten feet.’

Coach: ‘Ten feet. I think you’ll find this is the exact same measurements as our gym back in Hickory.’

—

Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about the movie ‘Hoosiers’:

‘ The film is very loosely based on the story of the 1954 Indiana state champions, Milan High School … ‘

—

My point is that, in 1954, in my opinion, there wasn’t much public sci-fi tv shows and programming out there publicly to help you experience mild to moderate forms of instigation.(Why would there be?) Even those ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes that you may have watched that are in black and white, according to wikipedia, that didn’t start, not until 1959. The ‘Star Trek: The Original Series’ started in 1966, and the 1st James Bond movie, ‘Dr. No.’, came out in 1962. So, to speculate, what Coach Norman Dale said to those basketball players should have worked without being able to be supplemented by certain obvious tv shows and movies. His advice should have been enough.

So, to use refurbished for this advice what Coach Norman Dale did for his basketball players, I recommend that you randomly look at, you don’t have to watch the whole thing, an illustration of the game Qbert. Just search in www.youtube.com for the phrase ‘qbert zeusdaz’, and select ‘Q*BERT (PLAYSTATION – FULL GAME)’. That video clip has over 3 and 1/2 hours of video footage that you can randomly look at. The publisher is called ‘Zeusdaz – The Unemulated Retro Game Channel’. If you choose to randomly watch it, when Qbert jumps on one of those blocks, each block represents choosing a perspective to commit to. It is like Coach Norman Dale telling his basketball players to not use those blocks, but instead use a specific block to commit your perspective to. Here’s a partial quote from the movie ‘Hoosiers’:

Coach: ‘I think you’ll find this is the exact same measurements as our gym back in Hickory.’

—

In the movie, Coach Norman Dale wanted his basketball players to commit to the basketball court perspective that they are familiar with in Hickory. That’s the perspective he wants them to use primarily. So, if you choose to watch that Qbert video clip, when Qbert is on a new block, that is the block Qbert’s perspective is committing to. I haven’t watched the entire video clip myself, but it seems to me that there are many different variations to choose from.

It is now 5:39 PM EST for me. Recently, I went to the supermarket to buy some food. A few things weren’t delivered yesterday. I’m sure that happens. Next time, if that happens again, I’ll call them. It’s not a big deal, but it cost me some time to type in this blog. So, instead of the idea I originally planned to type in, I’ll type in another idea that is quicker to explain. I recently decided to call it ‘Expense’.

Expense:

According to www.dictionary.com, ‘expense’ means ‘cost or charge: the expense of a good meal.‘ I believe it’s important that people in general, kids/teenagers/adults, should have some awareness as to what expenses are actually available to them. One example that I have chosen, refurbished of course, is in episode 2.21 ‘Fear Strikes Up a Conversation’ from fantasy tv series ‘Sabrina, the Teenage Witch(1998)’. In that scene, Sabrina(Melissa Joan Hart) starts to build more of an awareness in her mind what expenditures may be involved in her career goals. Because she is involved in some sort of obstacle course, she limits the amount of effort and time she uses to think about it, with the understanding that she can develop it further at a more convenient time. The episode is available streaming at Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 16 minutes and 48 seconds into the episode. You can watch more of the episode if you want to. I’m just in a rush. Here’s the quote:

Sabrina: ‘No! No… No. I’ll be okay. There’s always trade school.’

—

A certain awareness of expenditure could also help a great deal when in certain learning situations with others. For example, and I just imagined it, college experience for new students by definition is a new experience for them. What if something that is learned in the classroom is interpreted by a few of the other students to be something else, something that is profoundly distracting, or discouraging to the point that your pursuit of learning that something is discouraged? Let’s say it’s unintentional that other students would discourage you from such a learning pursuit. They simply recognize something about that learning experienct to be like something else, something that they entertainingly share with others that may be able to relate with them. Since college is so diverse culturally, I believe that such a thing is possible. Here is a reference, refurbished of course, to help make my point. It is in episode 2.13 ‘Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’ from sci-fi tv series ‘The Orville(2019)’. In that scene, and they’re both aliens, not humans, Lt. Cmdr. Bortus(Peter Macon) and his Moclan spouse Klyden(Chad L. Coleman) are enthusiastically talking about and interacting with a certain dance music. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 31 minutes and 14 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Bortus: ‘This is glorious!’

Bortus: ‘The music is very similar to a popular mating song on Moclas.’

Klyden: ‘You must come dance with us.’

—

Both Bortus and Klyden are just dancing, but they explained how that dance song is similar to another experience on Moslas. Refurbished, in a learning situation, elements of what you are learning with others may possibly be reinterpreted to be something else, or placed in a context that may discourage you from continuing to learn that subject. That is why I believe it is important to have your own sense of learning expenditure, so that you can more able continue learning, even though you may be unintentionally? discouraged from doing so.

Here is an imagined by me situation where the use of expense is different, because the expense interpreted is from a possible job, not from your own personal expense. It is derived from what I read from the news apps, celebrity actors and actresses turning down acting opportunities that became very popular later, or casually ruining an acting opportunity they already had because of some change they wanted to make, causing them to get fired. From that, I imagined a division of a company that also had many business opportunities, but that company division partitioned their participations with such opportunities. In other words, they can’t just participate with all of those opportunities, they had to choose from many only a few. So, in the now and in the near future, the company employees would talk about those opportunities that they have chosen to not participate in, and such opportunities did something spectacular, which they usually do. The employees are given some sort of latitude to talk about such things because it is not their personal expense that is involved, but rather the company’s expense that created such a situation.

—

It is now 6:21 PM EST for me. I am going to close this list, and next Saturday, I will explain that idea I invented this past Thursday. I call the idea ‘Take out’, unless I change my mind of course. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

Probably some animated violence and viewer discretion for the Japanese animated reference I cannot specifically remember used to create idea ‘Stink eye’. According to www.imdb.com, TV-MA viewer discretion for ‘Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner’.(Just remove inappropriate elements from show if watching.) Rated PG viewer discretion for movie ‘Hoosiers’. Sci-fi viewer discretion for tv series ‘Sabrina, the Teenage Witch’. TV-14 sci-fi violence and viewer discretion for tv series ‘The Orville’. Use only refurbished for advice references recommended. Throw away rest of episode, series, movie, and show. [Use mental bookmarks ‘Stink eye’, ‘Laughing’, ‘The basketball court is the same size’, and ‘Expense’ for reference, allocation, and prevention when needed.
