Salutations.

It is now 7:34 AM EST for me.

Before I begin typing again, I want you to know my physical situation. For those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, you may have read that I have back problems. In the beginning, when these back problems started to be obvious, if I would get an episode with my lower back, I may have to stay home for over 2 months until I can go back to work. That only happens once every few years. When I would go to the hospital for it, after examining me, I was told to see a specialist about it. Eventually, I found a team of doctors that knows my problem, treats me, and then I can go back to work soon afterward. And that’s what happened to me again. It is the lower right side of my back. While I was in the public laundromat, my lower back felt agitated, and then I felt this pain. I would have to sit down a few times and it would subside, allowing me to be able to go back home. That happened, yesterday, 3/18/2022. Yesterday I made an appointment, but one of the doctor’s won’t be available, not until Monday. They’re familiar with my back problem. Now, it doesn’t feel as bad as when I was in the laundromat, but while I was trying to sleep earlier, there were moments when the pain would linger and not subside, preventing me from sleeping. And now, if I try to move around a certain way, like putting on a sock, bump into something, or even move around while sitting, I would feel something like a muscle spasm in that area, so there’s no way I’m going to work like that. I’ve been through worse. I remember some years ago, I would have to make an effort just to take a shower, since my back wouldn’t allow me to stand for prolonged periods of time. I saw something on youtube where a man only takes a shower once a week because he lives in one of the coldest parts of the world. Well, in my lifestyle, I take showers once a day, and during that time with my back problem, believing that I had to take a shower at least once a day, even though my back would give out, after a few tries trying to take a shower, my body and my persistence eventually won, allowing me to take a basic shower. Once I was in the process of taking a shower, for some reason, my back had the strength to allow that.

Well, now, it’s not that bad. Like I said, I’ve been through worse. However, I can’t work like this, so I’m going to see that doctor this coming Monday, and hopefully my back will be treated, and I can go back to work again.

Right now, I’m sitting on a couch using wifi, the wifi is OK. My back discomfort, as long as I don’t move wrong, whatever that is, I won’t experience another muscle spasm. I’m going to look for yet another music video and trailer, and then after I find them, I’ll start typing again. I’ll see you then.

It is now 12:12 PM EST for me.

Since my beginning time was 7:34 AM EST, it looks like I’ve spent let’s say about 4 hours! finding a music video and trailer! Even though I’ve been doing this for a certain amount of years, I think the reason why it’s taking me so long to find them is that, the more you learn how, the more finicky you may get. For example, country music videos are easy to select, but you may choose to look for variety. I think that’s why many people who are really good at certain things don’t participate. It’s because they are really good at it. They also look for variety, something with a challenge. Not everyone, and not all of the time, of course.

The music video that I have watched for the 1st time earlier today and have chosen for this advice is called ‘Say It Again’ by Griff. I found it by searching in www.google.com for the phrase ‘mtv push’, and then selected ‘MTV PUSH – Season – TV Series’. That was link ‘https://www.mtv.com/shows/push’. I scrolled down to ‘PLAYLISTS’, clicked the ‘>’ button, and eventually selected ‘Griff’. I then selected publisher ‘Griff’ from www.youtube.com, and then eventually selected ‘Say It Again’. It has at least 857 thousand views, and was published 1 year ago. Here’s a quote from a review from inceleb.wordpress.com:

‘ Unlike Forgive Myself, where Griff sings about falling in love with the wrong guy and how she needs to forgive herself for falling in love each time, ‘Say It Again’ describes how it is good to open up about your feelings and how everything will turn out in the end. ‘

The main reason I reference reviews is to add reassurance that the music video is acceptable to be used for the list, not to ‘keep in mind’ the meaning of the music video/song as it is presented by the review. If I remember it as I watch the music video, I may choose to use it, but for this music video, I forgot what it was, and did not actively use it while watching the music video ‘Say It Again’. However, I did still meet by basic expectation. However, if you choose to watch music video ‘Say It Again’, in my opinion, it’s pretty relaxing to watch. Here’s a quote from the lyrics to song ‘Say It Again’:

‘Cause I know that even if I was the wisest of them all
It don’t matter, not at all
If you don’t believe it so

Before I reveal to you the trailer, I want to give you a reason why I chose it. As far as I am aware of, there are only 2 ‘short in stature’/dwarfism movie or tv show celebrities that I am aware of, Warwick Davis from the 1988 sci-fi movie ‘Willow’, and Peter Dinklage from tv series ‘Game of Thrones(2011+)’. Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about Warwick Davis:

‘ When Davis was 11, his grandmother heard a radio advertisement calling for people who were 4 feet (120 cm) tall or shorter to be in Return of the Jedi.[7] To Davis, who was a fan of the Star Wars films, it was a dream come true. During the filming of Return of the Jedi, Mark Hamill himself bought Davis every Star Wars action figure that he did not already own. ‘

For the trailer that I watched earlier for the 1st time, I chose ‘Official Meet the Cast Clip (2022)’ for the tv series ‘Willow’. As of now, here is what ravemotionpictures.com says about the release date for the tv series ‘Willow’:

‘ Willow’s premiere date has not been made specific yet. However, the investors of the series have stated that the series would most probably get released in 2022. However, the authentic information about the release of the series on the specific platform and the trailer’s release is kept secret. ‘

As of now, I would just use ‘Google News’ from my Iphone 12 mini to find out what is streaming. Since I’m using my laptop, I accessed ‘Google News’ from it, and selected one of my ‘Saved stories’, the one called ‘2022 TV Premiere Dates: The Full Winter And Spring Schedule’ from ‘Cinemablend’. If you search in www.google.com for the phrase ‘google news’ and select that, and then select the ‘Cinemablend’ article, then scroll down, you should find the category ‘2022 Premiere Dates TBD’. Here’s the entire article, there’s not much:

The following TV shows are expected to arrive at some point in 2022, however no official premiere dates have been set:

Alice in Borderland Season 2 (Netflix)
Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas (Netflix)
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Netflix)
First Kill (Netflix)
Interview With The Vampire (AMC)
Locke & Key Season 3 (Netflix)
Magic: The Gathering (Netflix)
Resident Evil (Netflix)
She-Hulk (Disney+)
The Sandman (Netflix)
The Umbrella Academy Season 3 (Netflix)
Willow (Disney+)
The Witcher: Blood Origin (Netflix)

I selected ‘Willow’ from that list.

There’s no tv show trailer yet, but there is an official ‘meet the cast’ trailer. To watch that ‘Willow’ meet the cast trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘willow 2022 trailer’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 24 thousand views. It was published 4 months ago.

If you choose to watch that ‘meet the cast’ trailer, I recommend that you watch it using the ‘Willow tv series’ wikipedia.org ‘Cast’ reference. All of the people obviously shown are also indicated in wikipedia.org. To me, it looks like Warwick Davis is introducing the other main characters for the tv series ‘Willow(2022)’ while they are all sitting in some sort of park bench. In my opinion, it’s very entertaining to watch, but it’s done very quickly. The video clip is only 3 minutes and 20 seconds. If you choose to watch it, I hope you enjoy it. I’m going to watch it again before I continue.

Effort of resolve:

All right! It is now 1:34 PM EST for me.

Over 99% of the time, I would never write this stuff down. This would be the 1st time that I would put it into words, the ideas. So, let me try to explain idea ‘Effort of resolve’, continuing from the last time I was explaining it: if you experienced instigation in the past, certain instigations would contemplationally impose upon you an inclination to make an effort to resolve that instigation. Idea ‘Effort of resolve’ helps you quantify that sense of effort of resolve so that you can better manage it, instead of letting it, let’s say, adversely influence how you cope from that instigation experience. To give you an illustration example of a person, at least via imagination, that is able to professionally? manage such efforts of resolve is in the movie ‘Our Brand Is Crisis(2015)’ starring Joaquim de Almeida as Pedro Castillo, the Bolivian Presidential candidate who hires Jane. If memory serves, Pedro Castillo, according to the movie, already was President, but wants to be re-elected. So, based on his previous experience with already being President, at least in imagination, he has experience to more objectively manage efforts of resolve. The illustration example with Pedro Castillo was when their bus was stopped by what seems to be an angry group of people, and Pedro Castillo calmly and clearly addressed that the bus’s front glass window was broken, and that he is aware that there is a man wearing the same jacket that he is wearing. The movie ‘Our Brand Is Crisis’ is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, the 1st scene starts 1 hour, 12 minutes, and 31 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote, translated into English by subtitle:

Pedro Castillo: ‘Please calm down. Stop throwing rocks because you’ve already broken my windshield.’

The 2nd quote starts 1 hour and 14 minutes into the movie:

Pedro Castillo: ‘And that jacket, I tell you, is very nice.’

Emphasis of resolve:

All right. I’m going to try to identify a sense of emphasis of resolve using the movie ‘Below(2002)’ as an illustration example reference. From that illustration reference, I can create several variations. In that scene, there are people in the submarine that are actually trying, as a group, to create a disturbing, escalating sense of resolve. They actually want that to happen to their minds. There is a ‘voice of reason’ amongst them, one of the men trying to keep it under control, but everyone else wants to support the harrowing, disturbing interpretations that they are thinking of. The movie ‘Below’ is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, refurbished and edited for advice, that scene starts 59 minutes and 28 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Sonar #1(Sebastian Knapp): ‘Rudder malfunction. When we tried to shut down the props, no dice. Wouldn’t respond. We’re on a runaway boat, fellas. Now, can any of you top that?’

Man #2: ‘Well, I had a strange thought.’

Man #3: ‘Take a number.’

Man #2: ‘Yeah, but this one’s real creep-show stuff.

1 minute 10 seconds:

Stumbo(Jason Flemyng): ‘I don’t get it.’

—

1 minute, 34 seconds into the movie, the ‘voice of reason’ steps in, dismissing the disturbing things that the other men were saying using reasonable explanations:

Pappy(Christopher Fairbank): ‘Hydrogen from the batteries, CO2, ozone from the electrical shorts – that’s what we’re breathing right now. Like those deep sea divers that don’t get enough oxygen– head starts playing tricks on ’em. We got mechanical problems, that’s all, okay? We always got mechanical problems.’

—

Now, when you experience, from your chosen perspective, an escalating or excessive effort of resolve, you can contemplationally choose to not use it, to not become it. You may sense something about it, but you don’t have to use it, you don’t have to ‘become’ it. Those men from that illustration example from the movie ‘Below’, they’re doing the exact opposite! They’re trying to encourage each other to ‘become’ the disconcerting, and if you choose to see it this way, ‘excessive’, contemplations that they are encouraging each other to create. The ‘voice of reason’, Pappy, is trying to encourage them to not use such disconcerting contemplations. It’s the best 1 illustration example I can think of for now.

—

It’s now 2:37 PM EST for me. I’m going to stop typing now and close this list, but since I’m not working tomorrow because of my lower back problem, I’m going to try to finish explaining idea ‘Effort of resolve’ in the next list tomorrow, Sunday, 3/20/2022. I’ll use the standard music video and trailer addition tomorrow. So, if you are there tomorrow, I’ll see you then.
