Salutations.
It is now 9:33 AM EST for me.
Right now, I just want to introduce to you the music video and trailer I watched for the 1st time earlier today. The music video is called ‘Lease On Life’ by Andy Grammer. I found the music video from my ‘signed in’ youtube homepage. To watch music video ‘Lease On Life’ for free, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘andy grammer lease on life’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 35,000 views. Here’s a short quote from americansongwriter.com about the song:
‘ Now, on June 28, Grammer is beginning to release these new songs, starting with the brilliantly uplifting single, “Lease On Life”—which comes ahead of a whole new album, due later this year. Inspired by the birth of his second daughter, the single radiates with irresistible positivity. ‘

And here is a quote from the lyrics to song ‘Lease On Life’:
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright
Got a brand new got a brand new
Got a brand new lease on life

There is a special effect stunt where Andy Grammer seems to jump into a lake. Of course, don’t do anything reckless or dangerous. That is a dangerous thing to do, even though it’s presented in such a positively uplifting manner. The music video ‘Lease On Life’ premiered August 4, 2021.
Here is a quote from the youtube music video link’s comments:
‘ Every one of your songs lifts my mood and makes me smile. Great song as always. Can’t wait for you to tour the UK ‘

Although at 1st in a manner of speaking, watching only a few scenes of it made me feel mind numbingly bored to it, as I allowed myself to feel a sense of boredom, I also enjoyed it’s positively music video choreographed energy. I believe that it’s very beneficial that music video’s like ‘Lease On Life’ exist with easy public access, allowing the general public to ‘feel good’ about themselves, and yes, I felt ‘mind numbingly bored’ as I watched it as well. I am grateful that music videos like ‘Lease On Life’ exist for people to watch.

The tv series trailer I also found from my youtube ‘signed in’ homepage. It’s from the streaming service ‘Peacock’. From www.youtube.com, search for phrase ‘peacock’, click publisher ‘Peacock’, in it’s homepage click ‘VIDEOS’, then scroll down to the ‘2 months ago’ video groupings, and then click ‘Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol | Official Trailer…’ It was published May 17, 2021, over 2 months ago. Here’s a quote from wikipedia.org about the series:
‘ Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, or simply The Lost Symbol, is a upcoming American action-adventure television series based on Dan Brown‘s 2009 novel, The Lost Symbol. The series features Ashley Zukerman as Robert Langdon, and is being developed on Peacock.[1] It is set to premiere on September 16, 2021. ‘

Although I don’t remember watching all 3 movies, in my opinion, it’s like the movies ‘The Da Vinci Code’, ‘Angels & Demons’, and ‘Inferno’ starring celebrity Tom Hanks, but in tv series form, just based on the trailer I watched. And according to wikipedia, ‘ Originally developed as a movie to have starred Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon and to be produced and directed by Ron Howard for Columbia Pictures[6][7] along with the franchise’s producers Brian Grazer and John Calley. ‘
—
I’m just recommending that you watch the trailer. It’s not explicit in my opinion, but there are a few action scenes in the trailer. It is an action-adventure tv series. It’s just a tv show trailer. It’s not real. Just remove/don’t use the scenes that you deem inapropriate. Here is a quote from youtube:
‘ I can’t imagine another actor other than Tom Hanks ‘
—
I liked watching the trailer ‘The Lost Symbol’ I think because I also liked watching the series ‘Elementary’ starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes. Watching tv shows like that, in my opinion, entertainingly encourages you to think. It’s not the only way to be encouraged to think, of course, or to have an acknowledgement to think. It’s available to watch for entertainment purposes.

It is now 12:17 PM EST for me. I have decided to type in 2 more stories before explaining idea ‘Convert’, so another week(1 Saturday) has been added before finally explaining, or at least start explaining, idea ‘Belong’. The 1st idea I don’t have a name for it yet. It’s purpose is to encourage you to consider certain opportunities, even though they may have certain discouragements associated with it. The 2nd story is called ‘An opportunity to present a joke or a sarcasm may also be an indicator to present a joke or a sarcasm.’ So, I’m going to ‘set up’ the references for the 1st story. I’m going to try to make this story work with just 2 references. The 1st reference(just to explain, no particular order) is from episode 2.7 ‘Black Magic’ from sci-fi tv series ‘The Bionic Woman(1976)’. Here is the description and main cast from wikipedia:
‘ Millionaire Cyrus Carstairs has died leaving a fortune as well as a top-secret formula. Jaime goes there acting as an estranged niece, as Carstairs has devised a hunt for the will with the finder to be the beneficiary. Coming up against Carstairs’ devious family, Jaime discovers that the butler is the most devious of all. Working with the family, Jaime finds the will and the formula. ‘
Cast:Vincent Price (Manfred Carstairs / Cyrus Carstairs), William Windom (Warfield), Hermione Baddeley (Aunt Tess), Julie Newmar (Claudette), Abe Vigoda (Barlow), Alvah Stanley (Barry), Roger Til (Maitre D’), George Margo (Boatman)

The only place I found the episode streaming is from nbc.com. Just go to www.nbc.com and enroll. It’s free. However, based on my experience trying to get access to that ‘Black Magic’ episode, there seems to be a glitch. For example, if you are having trouble getting to play the episode, that episode in the ‘Episodes’ selection in nbc.com should have the words ‘NOW PLAYING’ over it. Just select another episode, making that other episode in season 2 having the words ‘NOW PLAYING’, then select the episode you want to watch, in this case I’m assuming it’s ‘S2 E9 Black Magic’ according to nbc.com’s description, and then it should work. Just keep selecting a different episode, then select the episode you actually want to watch, and that is how I got past the glitch. I recommend that you watch episode 2.9 ‘Black Magic’. If you just want to watch the highlight, it’s conveniently at the end of the episode. I’ll use that nbc.com streaming episode as a reference to quote it here. Before I quote it, if you choose to watch that episode streaming, there are 5 vertical white boxes that I believe represent commercials. You can avoid them by selecting over them, and if you experience one of them, that may give you the incentive to avoid the next commercial indicator. The scene starts with content 42 minutes into that nbc.com episode. The quote starts later. Here is the quote:
Jaime Sommers(Lindsay Wagner): ‘Oscar, they have escaped. They are sitting right there behind us!’
Oscar Goldman(Richard Anderson): ‘Jaime, I… I’ve got to tell you something. I had to let them go.’
Jaime: ‘Let them go?’
Oscar: ‘You see, the Carstairs wouldn’t testify against each other. And since they did help me capture Barlow… ‘

43 minutes and 4 seconds into the episode:

The 2nd reference is from episode 25.21 ‘Pay Pal’ from animated tv series ‘The Simpsons(2014)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com. While finding another streaming source, I’ve learned that ‘The Simpsons’ is available streaming from Disney + up to Season 31, but Apple TV has all of the Simpsons episodes, which includes Season 32. Since I’m using the Apple TV interface, I’m going to use it to watch the Simpsons episodes that I have missed, especially the recent ones. I thought you might want to know that Apple TV has all of the Simpsons episodes, in case you are using that Apple TV interface. I’m going to quote the episode from Amazon.com. The scene starts 7 minutes and 29 seconds into the episode. Here is just the beginning quote:
Booth Wilkes John: ‘Wallis has unearthed the most delightful entertainment to thrill us for hours on end.’
—
Here is a quote from wikipedia about that scene:
‘ Despite her initial anxiety, Marge feels at ease meeting Booth Wilkes John, a British man, who invites Marge over to adult game night with his wife. Marge wants to go, but fears that Homer will ruin another adult game night for her. She talks to Homer in bed about not having any friends, yet Lisa chimes in with being okay with not having friends herself, which makes Marge extremely uncomfortable. At the new neighbor’s home, Marge and Homer mingle with the guests. The game begins with role play based on Clue, and Homer unknowingly reveals the murderer in the story, prompting the host to kick the Simpsons out. ‘

The purpose of that ‘Pay Pal’ scene from ‘The Simpsons’ is to give the readers a sense of setting, where the story is coming from. And now, for the story:
I’m using the main character of the sci-fi tv series ‘The Bionic Woman’, Jaime Sommers, but without the bionics, and based on episode 2.7 ‘Black Magic’, where she is also believed to be cousin Tracy. The portrayed belief from the others, especially the characters portrayed by celebrity Vincent Price, is used for this story. So, here’s the story:
Jaime Sommers is working for a company that has, as of now, a few thousand employees, and management believes they will continue to grow at least for the next 200 years. For the purpose of this story, I don’t know what she does specifically, but she gives a lot of presentations, and for at least 80% of those presentations, she likes to add a joke to the presentation that has the intent to be useful/relevant to that presentation. It’s not just a joke that is ‘blurted out’, but a joke that is relevant, and may actually cause a few people watching the presentation to laugh. Her ‘adding a joke to her presentation’ strategy attracted the attention to self appointed recruiters who work for the company. They are looking for someone to manage another big house for their ‘period piece’ participations. It’s like the tv series ‘Shadow and Bone’ starring Jessie Mei Li as Alina Starkov. Usually, any volunteer employee will do, but since such a setup is so popular, they want someone from the company who has a little obvious qualification to manage it, and because of Jaime’s use of sense of humor in her presentations, they want her to manage one of those houses. Apparently, no one in a company of thousands is available with acting or theater skills. Keep in mind that they are looking for volunteers from within the company, people who are already there based on their qualifications to work for the company. They are not looking for someone specifically trained to manage a period piece filled with people. The volunteer chosen could always add that person or people to his/her team, and the company seems to have a limitless budget for such a recreational activity. Well, to be more accurate, it’s a mixture of recreational activity and other company related expectations. For example, the plurality(if memory serves, ‘majority’ is over 50%, but ‘plurality’ is the greatest percentage amount) consists of people retired from the company, let’s say that’s over 20%, but everyone else participating is there for other company related reasons, and those reasons are many.
Before accepting the job, she was told there is absolutely no risk involved. She can quit at anytime, and her original job will always be available to her. She can hire her own team to manage that house, and she can be trained by the other managers that run the other houses. The company resources available to do that job seem infinite.
Now, there is only one problem: she doesn’t want the job because of how others who will participate in that ‘period piece’ will perceive her. Just like that ‘Black Magic’ episode, Jaime will be perceived as Tracy, the one that manages that house, and Jaime doesn’t want to be perceived as Tracy. She talked to one of the managers about it, portrayed by celebrity Richard Herd(Admiral Noyce from ‘Seaquest 2032’), and he said ‘What do you want me to do about it?’
If Jaime takes the job, she doesn’t even have to be inside that house. She just manages that house, and she has her own team members doing everything else. It’s like the situation was cloned with the help of the other managers to the other houses. Since she still wants to be actively involved with the company, she will still be moving around within the main company building, and from time to time, she is confronted by other company employees with are participating with her managed house. They always eagerly confront her, and call her by her house name, Tracy. She would try to dismiss them, and all of them after being dismissed would react as if ‘Tracy’ did something wrong.

Now, if you choose to think that you would absolutely never do something like that, the purpose of that story is to encourage you to consider opportunities that also involve certain discouragements. One of the benefits of doing something like that is that you don’t have to know anyone specifically involved in that ‘period piece’ participation, except your own chosen team. One benefit is that you are able to accomodate people generalistically. For example, you don’t have to like them, you don’t have to find them attractive, you don’t need to have any personal incentive to accommodate them, a skill I believe is very valuable to have. So, if you choose to imagine having such a job, sure, you don’t want to be referred to by that other identity, but what is also happening is that you are accommodating a lot of people generalistically without needing to know anything about them.

An opportunity to present a joke or a sarcasm may also be an indicator to not present a joke or a sarcasm:
It is now 2:41 PM EST for me. For an entire year I think, this idea seemed to me to be the only idea that I had that seemed to have some personal effectiveness for me. Therefore, based on that, I think that this idea should be introduced to you before explaining idea ‘Convert’. I have chosen to use a refurbished scene in episode 7.21 ‘When It Rains…’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine(1999)’. The reference is refurbished with inaproprieities removed. The gist of it is basically that, when a certain notion was introduced to Colonel Kira(Nana Visitor) by Cardassian officers, a certain predictable result occurred, that Kira would get angry. I’ll just give the beginning quote. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and if you have Amazon Prime, no additional payment is required. According to Amazon Video, that scene starts 33 minutes and 31 seconds into that episode. Here is the quote:
Cardassian officer: ‘Are you going to ask him or not?’
Garak(Andrew Robinson): ‘I wouldn’t recommend it.’
Cardassian officer: ‘It’s a legitimate question, Garak.’
Garak: ‘Maybe I just don’t think it’s a proper subject for discussion not if we’re all supposed to be getting along.’
34 minutes and 3 seconds into the episode:
Colonel Kira: ‘You don’t have to answer that.’
Cardassian officer: ‘Why not? It’s a legitimate question.’
Colonel Kira: ‘Only if you want to provoke an argument.’

And now for the story: A woman manager who works for an American company, she was born and raised from another country but speaks English fluently, let’s say she’s like the portrayal of Miss Iovenko(Nina Arianda) from the movie ‘Tower Heist(2011)’, is working on a special project with several men for a big company, and these men discovered that she has a problem susceptibility towards gambling. Like those Cardassian officers from that ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ episode, they can’t get over the fact that she has such a susceptibility, since she is their boss. One day, they expose her to a gambling situation that could compromise their project if she gambles an aspect of that project away, and sure enough, that’s what she does. They could no longer participate in that project, it no longer exists, without that vital part of it. This situation reminds me of the movie I think it was called ‘Lay the Favorite’, when one of Dink’s(Bruce Willis) employees, an attractive woman, gambled money that she wasn’t supposed to be gambling with, and lost it all. She was supposed to just give the money to someone else.
When those men who encouraged her to gamble talked to the district manager portrayed by celebrity Kelsey Grammer, in a hopeful state, the character portrayed by Kelsey Grammar asked the spokesperson for the men if they were able to retrieve it by another means, and that spokesperson responded, saying that it was lost, and that character portrayed by Kelsey Grammar said ‘Oh.’
—
In that story, it’s a big company, the men admitted to everything, no one was fired. The point of that story was that those men discovered a susceptibility that their immediate boss had, and when they introduced their boss to a situation that such a susceptibility would have obvious interactions with, and those results still occurred(why wouldn’t it occur?), those men realized that they should not have introduced such a susceptibility to their boss, even though it had such an entertaining identity to them, similar to what the Cardassian officers believed. I guess it would help if you knew their situation more. It’s just a story anyway.
—
It is now 3:18 PM EST for me. I am going to close this list now. I will explain idea ‘Convert’ next Saturday, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
