(laughs) ‘I’m sorry. I was just trying my Ivan impression. How did I do?’
(said as a greeting. It is from a scene from episode 1.5 ‘Show Me Who You Are’ from fantasy tv series ‘Shadow and Bone(2021)’. Even though ‘Shadow and Bone’ is one of my favorite tv shows, I’m not exactly sure what happened during that scene. My original impression that I was going to present to you was that the man who said that quote, I think he is Fedyor Kaminsky(Julian Kostov), has a twin, and that the women he said that to, Alina Starkov(Jessie Mei Li) and Genya Safin(Daisy Head), originally thought he was Ivan. That’s the version I am presenting to you, that Fedyor was pretending to be his twin, Ivan. So, if you actually use that as a greeting to someone, that is the context I am presenting for you to use, not what is actually in that show. I think the tv show ‘Shadow and Bone’ is only available streaming from www.netflix.com. One way of using this greeting is to imagine that the people at your school/work have twins, and they individually greet you, only the ones you choose to imagine doing so, they eventually say that greeting, and like the episode scene illustrates, you feel relieved that that person is the ‘good’ twin, so to speak. Of course, if you choose to make it your idea, you can change it all you want, in relation to advice said.)

It is now 10:53 AM EST for me. I want to get this out of the way quickly, typing this list. I watched for the 1st time earlier today and chose for this list music video ‘One Foot In Front Of The Other’ by Griff. She has a wikipedia page for the song, but it doesn’t say much. I found it in www.youtube.com, publisher ‘KM TV’, category ‘New Songs of 2021’, sub-category ‘New Songs of June 2021’, published May 28, 2021. It’s video clip is #4 and starts 2 minutes and 48 seconds into that video. Here is a quote from the song ‘One Foot In Front Of The Other’:
I put one foot in front of the other today
I stretched my arms out wide and it felt real strange
And then my legs, they started shaking
And my hands, they started quaking
‘Cause things just take longer to heal these days

To watch music video ‘One Foot In Front Of The Other’ by Griff for free, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘one foot in front of the other griff’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 168 thousand views. It premiered May 27, 2021, over 2 weeks ago.
I liked watching it. It has synchronized dancing, and a relaxed pace of listening. To me, it looked like restaurant employees were trained to be in a music video. I just imagined certain restaurant customers thinking about that music video as they are in certain restaurants, like it relates to their experiences.

The tv show trailer I recommend for this advice is called ‘Shadow and Bone | Season 2 Announcement | Netflix’. It looks like the main characters from tv series ‘Shadow and Bone’ are partially portraying in a humorous context from their homes their characters in order to promote that Season 2 of ‘Shadow and Bone’ will occur. To watch that trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘shadow and bone season 2’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with almost 300 thousand views. It was published by Netflix on Jun 7, 2021,

All right. It is now 12:15 PM EST for me. Here’s the study plan for this list: I will explain story ‘Expired opportunities’, which will be used to explain idea ‘Pronounce(d)’, and if I have time, an impression of the idea I am currently using called ‘Solve conserve’. So, here we go!
—
Expired opportunities:
All right. I realize that the many impressions that the general public have while they are kids about job opportunities are probably from public establishments, like malls and fast food restaurants. So, I’m stipulating to the need to know what your financial limitations are. For example, if you are not rich, and you interact with rich people, it is important to know what you are financially capable of. You don’t want to make commitments that are beyond your financial means. For example, if you use something of great value, but somehow lose it, you may be partially liable for what it’s worth. The reason you used the thing in the 1st place was to allow yourself to feel like you belong. Look, if you are kids reading this blog, I realize that I’m not your parent. For example, gambling. You don’t want to gamble in a context that is beyond your means to repay. And then there’s how you perceive jobs itself. What if I can trade a very expensive and popular job for let’s say 20 ‘fast food restaurant’ jobs? I remember several years ago or so I talked to a man who worked in a mall, an adult, and he has worked there for I think years. Mall jobs, public establishment jobs, they’re important to many people, even though they may not be considered preferred career jobs, especially if you have certain forms of education. My point is that such jobs are important, and it’s important that many people have the ability to see such jobs as not only having importance, but to also interact with such jobs/opportunities with the respect and acknowledgement that they deserve.
That being said, here’s a question: What if as a career job, you work for a big company or corporation? Population growth will only go up, and even though certain malls in America have closed, it won’t be too long before more public malls will be built, and what about giving the future generation jobs? I believe big companies and corporations with try to accomodate American population growth. And if that happens, a lot of people in the near future will work for some sort of big company and corporation.
And so, based on that imagined speculation, I made a story called ‘Expired opportunities’, and I believe that, if you did not have this before, that this sense of opportunity existence may give you more contemplation room in regards as to how you perceive and sense opportunities. And so, here’s the story:
I imagined this big company in America having this rule: that for all of it’s many divisions, management would meet once or twice a week, and validate certain categories of opportunities, to make sure of it’s acceptance to the company. Now, this process is automatic for all of it’s divisions, and since this is just a story, it works for over 90% of certain categories of opportunities. The process works profit wise, and the company is still experiencing much success and growth.
So, what this story addresses is what happens to the 9+ percent of opportunities that are not addressed and managed by management. Those opportunities ‘expire’, they no longer exist. There are many possibilities of course as to how this occurs, but here’s one example: suppose an opportunity needs to be validated in 1 day, but management won’t have another meeting, not until next week. Therefore, that opportunity will ‘expire’. After that day, it will no longer exist. The system arranged by management works. It’s automatic. However, if you step back a little, so to speak, you may notice that, for certain divisions of that company, that there are certain opportunities that, if they were aware of them, they would make an effort to ensure that such opportunities will get validated. However, practically all of the divisions of that company do not see that such opportunities exist, and they just expire. The people are doing nothing wrong, that’s just how things work for that company.
If you work for such a company, and you are aware of certain expired opportunities, then you may conceptualize such expired opportunities as snow. That employee may imagine some of the kids from the employees playing with that conceptualized snow, as they would throw it at each other as if it were snow itself. And you may imagine Homer Simpson from the animated tv series ‘The Simpsons’ using Mr. Plow to somehow organize all of that snow. Just earlier today, for the 1st time, I imagined dancing with that muse from the movie ‘Xanadu’ in that conceptualized snow to the song ‘Don’t Walk Away’.
This company does have a place in America where you can submit an opportunity for validation, for example, when a management meeting is unavailable, but you would have to do it personally. You can’t just fax it in, for example. When you go into the main hall, it looks like a courtroom. You make yourself known, and then you sit down and wait to be called. And there is only one person in charge of that situation: Weyoun(Jeffrey Combs), a character from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ that I’m just using as a generalistic example for this story. He only works there 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week, but he has the option to have all the overtime he can handle. He gets paid well enough, so he doesn’t need it. His one obvious job there is having the authority to regulate the flow of opportunity validations. Since he’s been there for many years already, he developed a unique perspective as to how that works. If he chooses to, if he doesn’t believe you should get your opportunity(ies) validated, he can stop that process, and if he has to, have you escorted out of the building if you present yourself to be a problem. He’s the only one that does this. His assistant is Cardassian Damar(Casey Biggs), also from ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’. If you watched him in that show, you may catch him always conceding and agreeing to what Gul Dukat(Marc Alaimo) his boss would say to him.
Let’s imagine one of the employees of this company, a young James Bond(Sean Connery) when he 1st started working for them. He notices the expired opportunities, and he is given an explanation from someone from management. 30 years later, let’s say the man now looks like Allan Quatermain from the movie ‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’, and you now see him in that room that looks like a courtroom, waving his hand, and then sitting down. Weyoun and Damar notice him from a distance. It’s a big enough room. Weyoun is complaining to Damar that he knows that James Bond/Quatermain does not have authority to get that opportunity validated, and Damar is agreeing to everything his boss is saying. Weyoun is complaining to Damar because Weyoun is going to allow Quatermain to get that opportunity validated.

It is now 1:28 PM EST for me. Recently, my laptop has been getting glitchy. I’ve decided to buy another laptop. There’s a place that I went to last time. Because of their warranties and service, I’m going to buy it from there. I bought this laptop from them, and it lasted for years. I’ll just buy their best warranty and 2 or more laptop batteries. The glitch is interfering with how I use the search engine google. They may not have the laptop I want in the store, so what I’ll do is continue doing the best I can to explain this idea, and hopefully in 2 weeks, I’ll have the new laptop. I’ll look at their website, and Friday I’ll go there and purchase their laptop using their website to determine which one. Even though their store is accessible by bus, I might just use Uber to get there and back.
—
It is now 1:56 PM EST for me. I just rebooted this computer. I think I can keep doing that for a while, maybe even a few months if I have to. I’m going to buy the new laptop this Friday, and if I don’t get it from the store, that means they’ll mail it to me, and that can take another day or so, and that means I’ll still use this laptop. If I don’t continue typing later today, then I’ll continue next Saturday, either with the new laptop, or this one. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

‘A little too convincing.’
(said as a greeting. Like last week, it is from a scene from episode 1.5 ‘Show Me Who You Are’ from fantasy tv series ‘Shadow and Bone(2021)’. The quote starts, according to Netflix streaming, about 12 minutes and 30 seconds into the episode:
Fedyor: (laughs) ‘I’m sorry, I was just trying my Ivan impression. How did I do?’
Genya: ‘A little too convincing.’
—
So, if you are using Wishlist #1273(Sour face), then when you choose to, you may imagine certain people that you see from a safe, respectful distance, such as while sitting in a bus, or like me, while in a public restaurant sitting as people are walking to the bus/train station, etc, you can choose someone you are looking at and imagine that person saying to you quote:
Person you choose to look at for this idea: ‘How was my Ivan impression?’
You: (contemplationally) ‘A little too convincing.’
—
If you are wearing a mask while doing this, that makes the effect even better, because you may also choose to make a ‘sour face’ after you contemplationally say ‘A little too convincing.’ I believe that the reason you may feel good doing that is because usually, your ‘sour face’ is used when experiencing certain instigations and it’s inadvertencies. When you do this exercise, you feel good because you get to choose in your favor how to experience your ‘sour face’. I just believe this to be true. It’s not a professional opinion/belief, since I am not a psychiatrist, or any one that does this sort of thing professionally. I’m just giving advice. You may also use your ‘sour face’ while you are contemplationally saying ‘A little too convincing.’ If you choose to take the advice, since it’s your idea, you may make all sorts of changes to it.)
—
All right! It is now 10:06 AM EST for me. Whether or not I finish this list, I’m going to close it today, so that I can type in one or more of my new ideas in next week, or maybe type in one of my older stories next week. The music video that I have watched for the 1st time earlier today and have chosen for this advice to be typed in this list(the main purpose for music videos and trailers is to give effectiveness to this advice as it relates to experienced instigation) is called ‘exception’ by Lauren Isenberg, better known as ‘renforshort’. I checked www.google.com for a review of that music video. Here is a quote from www.thehoneypop.com about it:
‘ renforshort describes loneliness and sadness in the brand new video directed by Iris Kim. Johnny Orlando’s ‘Adelaide’ cinematographer sets the dream portrayed in the lyrics in a lovely diner place. Do you ever imagine cuddling with your loved one, talking, laughing, and smiling? That’s the only thing renforshort desires. But as always, the picture is vanishing to confront us to the hard reality. ‘
—
Since I also try to take the lyrics into consideration, like most songs I think are played in the radio(I don’t normally listen to radio, except for the radio played at the public deli connected to the public transportation where I would normally eat), this song is another relationship song, the singer saying that she is 18 years old. Stipulating to that, I’m recommending that you watch the music video because the music video is mostly made in what looks like a nice diner restaurant. I’m assuming that most Americans, including kids, have eating in a diner before, so you might want to watch music video ‘exception’ for that effect. Here is a quote from song ‘exception’:
I like
The way that we talk
The stories you tell
About falling in love
But I’m
Losing my mind
‘Cause when I see you
I keep picturing us
—
I found music video ‘exception’ from www.youtube.com, publisher ‘Vevo’. Just search for phrase ‘vevo’ in www.youtube.com, and click that selection. Then scroll down and click ‘Specialty Playlists’. Then scroll down until you eventually see ‘Pop-Teen!’. Click ‘VIEW FULL PLAYLIST’. Here’s a description of what ‘Pop-Teen!’ is:

The tv show trailer that I watched earlier today for the 1st time for this advice is called ‘DC’s Stargirl | Season 2 Extended Trailer | The CW’. I found that trailer from my ‘signed in’ youtube homepage. To watch that trailer, search for phrase ‘cw network’ from www.youtube.com, click publisher ‘ The CW Network’, click ‘VIDEOS’, and scroll down to that trailer. It was published Jun 14, 2021, less than a week ago.
Near the end of that trailer, it advertises that new episodes start Tuesday, August 10. I like that scene when Green Lantern’s daughter introduces herself while fighting Stargirl. When I would watch an episode of ‘Stargirl’, I would pretty much just fast forward to scenes I would think to be interesting to watch. I don’t actually watch the whole thing.

To help you understand idea ‘Expired opportunities’, I’m going to type in a story involving one division of that imagined company using 3 characters: 1)James Paisley(Tom Skerritt) from episode 5.21 ‘The One Percent’ from tv series ‘The Good Wife(2014)’, businessman Oliver Queen(Stephen Amell) from tv series ‘Arrow(2012-2020)’, and Neil Gross(John Benjamin Hickey), also from tv series ‘The Good Wife’.
For James Paisley, the reason I chose him was because someone put a whipped cream pie on his face during a press conference. Even though it’s a tv show, in a tv show context, I believe James Paisley created that situation as a publicity stunt. If you haven’t seen that scene before, or it’s been a while since you have, you may be surprised when you see it again. That episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 minute and 47 seconds into the episode(I started it a little earlier so that you can understand it better). Keep in mind that I believe that you should feel surprised when that man puts whipped cream pie all over Mr. Paisley’s face during that press conference. Here is the quote:
Fund Manager #2: ‘If the suit drags on… it could hang over the stock price.’
Alicia Florrick(Julianna Margulies): ‘Well, we’re in negotiations now and we’re confident that this suit will set… ‘
Server(Ryan Garbayo): (after putting whipped cream pie on Mr. Paisley’s face) ‘Down with corporate imperialism!’
—
I have chosen character James Paisley from that episode from ‘The Good Wife’ to be the division manager for one of the divisions of that company. I highly recommend that you watch that scene where James Paisley gets pie on his face. In my opinion, it really helps ‘sell’, so to speak, this idea. Since it’s available streaming from Amazon.com, you should be able to see it very quickly. Oliver Queen is one of James Paisley’s main employees, just a businessman, he’s not a crimefighter here in this story, and Neil Gross is the possible expired opportunity in this story. Here is a quote from www.google.com about him:
‘ Neil Gross (John Benjamin Hickey) is the founder of Chumhum, the series‘ version of Google. He is arrogant, ambitious, very wealthy, and used to getting his way. ‘
He is also a character from tv series ‘The Good Wife’. If you want to see him, you can check www.imdb.com for what episodes he’s on. He doesn’t have an active roll in the story.
So, here’s the story: Oliver Queen talks to his boss James Paisley about the opportunity made with Neil Gross, found of Chumhum. I don’t want to quote them, so here’s the explanation: Oliver Queen explains to James Paisley that the offer from Neil Gross has to be validated within 2 days. I’ll quote them now.
James Paisley: ‘So, what’s the problem?’
Oliver Queen: ‘Management won’t validate opportunities, not until next week!’
Oliver Queen then explains to his boss that the company does have this one place, but the opportunity would have to be validated personally. And, of course, it’s usually somewhere in America that is not nearby.
James Paisley: ‘Guess what? I’m flying there, and you’re coming with me.’
And now, I go back to Vorta Weyoun again, to explain further his importance in this story. Here is a question for you: How can Weyoun officially acknowledge your opportunity validation if not even management is aware of it? When these situations happen, management is not available to validate such opportunities personally. But management is the one that gives Weyoun the permissions to allow those that go to his place to get their opportunities validated.
There is a solution to all of this: all these people have to do to avoid a confrontation with Weyoun is for them to get their opportunities validated when he’s not there. That place is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but Weyoun is only there 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week. For example, Weyoun is very important and useful when you need him for the validation process, especially when you have managerial permission to be there as well. Then he’s like an employee of Mr. Rourke from tv series ‘Fantasy Island’. He can be very helpful. However, when you need an opportunity validated, and you don’t have management’s validation, then what you may choose to do is simply get your opportunity validated, but when Weyoun is not there. When James Bond/Quartermain went there to get his opportunity validated, he didn’t know about this loophole. Plus, he’s been with the company for over 30 years, and probably just went there knowing that Weyoun will still allow him to get his opportunity validated. He wasn’t sure though, which explains why Weyoun complained about it.
So, imagine Oliver Queen and James Paisley walking down that hallway:
James Paisley:(talking to Oliver Queen who is walking ahead of him) ‘Is he there?’
Oliver Queen:(before entering that validation room) ‘No, I don’t see him.’
—
You see, there are a lot of ‘1st timers’ that go to that place. They have no experience getting opportunities validated. Management is supposed to do that automatically. However, as one example, certain opportunities may have a short time frame to get validated, like that ChumHum deal, and that means the district manager himself/herself may have to go to that place to get that opportunity validated.
And once that happens the 1st time, you make sure that you and your division employees are very prepared for such situations. All of your relevant employees have a picture of Weyoun and his work schedule, so that they can more conveniently ‘duck’/avoid him when they need other opportunities validated.
—
It is now 1:39 PM EST for me. I’m going to pick up my laptop now. I’ll start typing more later.
—
It is now 4:50 PM EST for me. I’m now using this laptop I purchased from one of those computer repair stores. I like it. The screen size is smaller, but all I have to do is magnify the letters more. I was thinking of taking some sort of course to learn how to use the computer and iphone better, like a computer course. Until then, if something goes wrong, the place/people where I bought this from may be able to fix it. This is different than how I would normally buy laptops.
After I finished typing that ‘Expired opportunities’ story, my right leg, the muscles above my right calf, where I bend my knee, experienced a cramp. I took 1 ‘Hyland’s Leg Cramps’ tablets, and I also added ‘Hyland’s Leg Cramps’ ointment to it, it subsided, but that wasn’t enough. I had to peel to see the directions for the tablets, and it said I could take 2-3 tablets, up to 5 doses, I’m assuming in one day, and so for the 1st time, I took another tablet. The leg cramp finally subsided to a full recovery. I recommend that, if you experience leg cramps from time to time, that you buy ‘Hyland’s Leg Cramps PM’ tablets at least, in case you get an episode. I believe that most people just wait it out, wait for the leg cramp to subside, and that can be a very painful experience, even if it’s just for a short while. I am not a doctor, but I believe my leg cramp was partly caused by me finishing that ‘Expired opportunities’ story.

Pronounce(d):
It’s so late for me to type this stuff! Here’s a quote from idea ‘Expired opportunities’:
‘ Let’s imagine one of the employees of this company, a young James Bond(Sean Connery) when he 1st started working for them. He notices the expired opportunities, and he is given an explanation from someone from management. 30 years later, let’s say the man now looks like Allan Quatermain from the movie ‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’, and you now see him in that room that looks like a courtroom, waving his hand, and then sitting down. Weyoun and Damar notice him from a distance. It’s a big enough room. Weyoun is complaining to Damar that he knows that James Bond/Quatermain does not have authority to get that opportunity validated, and Damar is agreeing to everything his boss is saying. Weyoun is complaining to Damar because Weyoun is going to allow Quatermain to get that opportunity validated. ‘
—
One of the main reasons why I explained idea ‘Expired opportunities’ is for that quote, to give you an example for ‘Prounounce(d)’. It is my opinion that, when a person allows someone to do something, more specifically, to not experience a penalty, but that person can impose a penalty upon that person, if that person can talk to one or more people at the time when that penalty is waived, that person may use a pronounced form of communication. In that ‘Expired opportunities’ story, Weyoun was using a pronounced form of communication with Damar, since he is allowing Quartermain to get his opportunity validated. In his private conversation with Damar, he is getting verified justification, that he can indeed stop Quartermain from getting his opportunity validated, but he is choosing not to.
The best illustration example I can think of for ‘Pronounce(d)’, refurbished with inapproprieities removed of course, is near end of episode 3.4 ‘Passing Through Gethsemane’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Babylon 5(1995)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 40 minutes and 47 seconds into the episode. With the help of Brother Theo(Louis Turenne), Captain Sheridan(Bruce Boxleitner) is able to let Brother Malcolm(Robert Keith) go. You can tell from Sheridan’s appearance that he is having trouble doing that, that he is still acclimating to letting Brother Malcolm go. Something for you to look at.
Blame pronounce(d):
If you read starting from Wishlist #1272, and it’s now Wishlist #1277, that’s only 5 lists, not including this one. Then this may work for you: if you experienced instigations in the past, for example, you work for the same job for several years or more, then certain instigations may have improperly imposed a pronounced sense of blame. I call this experience ‘Blame pronounce(d)’. This particular instigation involves the instigator let’s say berating/blaming you for something you did not do. If that is the case, you may have the ability to feel it, but not become it. You may now be able to experienced such pronounced blames when you would choose to recall such experiences, and choose to not become them, to not need to interact with it’s pronounced emphases. Certain instigations may try to use irony to cause you to commit to such blame, for example, idea ‘Define blame’, in order for the instigator to have partial justification for their actions.
To remember the word ‘Pronounce(d)’, I recommend using the word ‘pronoun'(noun, pronoun).
It is now 5:52 PM EST for me. Because I went to pick up this laptop, the time I used is causing me to close this list now. That way, next week, I can just type in something else. I don’t think I’ll be needing another laptop for quite some time. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
