Salutations.

It is now 7:57 AM EST for me.

I’m about to look for that music video and trailer again, so that I can begin explaining this ‘2nd idea’ to you. Hopefully, in 2 hours, I’ll find them. In case you want to know, around 12:00 PM, I’m going to order KFC chicken again, so I’ll stop typing for a while during that time in order to order the food. So, I’ll see you later today.

—

It is now 10:44 AM EST for me.

Before I introduce this music video to you, I want to say that I decided that the lyrics are OK, the music video is OK to watch, and I chose it for this advice, but, in a manner of speaking, that’s the only criteria I used to choose it. In my opinion, it’s kind of strange to watch, and I don’t want to keep looking for a more acceptable music video to introduce to you. Like in the past, I tend to spend too much time looking for a music video, and I would rather not do that again, even though I usually tend to do that anyway.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today is called ‘Secrets from a Girl (Who’s Seen it All)’ by Lorde. To watch that music video for free, in www.youtube.com search for phrase ‘lorde secrets from a girl’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 1.2 million views. As of now, it was published 3 weeks ago. Here is a quote from teenvogue.com about music video ‘Secrets from a Girl’:

Spring is finally here, and Lorde is back at the beach to unveil another music video from Solar Power. Directed by Joel Kefali and Ella Yelich-O’Connor (AKA the singer herself), the music video for “Secrets From a Girl (Who’s Seen It All)” was released on March 22 and features three different versions of Lorde — literally and figuratively.

The first Lorde opens up the video by waking up at shore, dressed in red crop top and matching tailored pants, wearing her hair in an updo. She soon meets our second Lorde, who’s dressed in a cream-colored top with puff sleeves and a matching flared skirt, donning loose hair and a vampy lip. Lorde Number Three enters the scene soon after, with more eclectic sartorial choices — she wears a textured top with a sunflower design, printed pants, and a straw hat. And if the ‘fits look familiar, there’s a reason for that.

Throughout the course of the video, we see Lorde (or should we say Lordes?) harmonizing with herself, playing jump rope, dancing, and acting as her own shoulder to lean on while musing the song, which was originally released on August 20, 2021.

“This song is me in communication with another version of me, trying to send along the wisdom I’ve started to gather along the way,” Lorde confirmed to fans via her newsletter, Rolling Stone India notes. “When we were plotting the video, Joel brought up some old film/TV tropes about groupings of women. It inspired me to identify three distinct parts of myself, and imagine what would happen if these parts were able to meet… The Child in her purple lipstick and silver jewelry, big curls thrown over to one side, skipping and bouncing like I did as a six-year-old; The Lover, a baby woman in red with a little diamanté eye, waking up hungover and divine; and The Gardener, me at my wisest and most crunchy, dressed in my own clothes.”

I’m choosing not to understand music video ‘Secrets from a Girl’ from the context expectations of the review from teenvogue.com. I just believe that it’s watchable and recommendable for this list. I find that watching the music video was entertaining, seeing how the 3 different versions of Lorde interact with each other. As of now, there are 3,474 comments in youtube.com for music video ‘Secrets from a Girl’. Here is a quote from one of those comments:

‘ this definitely represents lorde’s three eras. the white dress, curly hair and dark lip being pure heroine, her young free spirited era. the orange two piece and braided hair melodrama, heart broke but vibrant phase and finally the flower tee and green pants is her solar power era, her biggest growth as a person. ‘

—

I choose to not understand it fully in it’s presented context, and I recommend that you don’t have to fully understand it either, within the context of this blog. I recommend that you just watch it. I think it’s entertaining to watch, even though I choose to not understand it.

I forgot to type in how I found music video ‘Secrets from a Girl’. I searched for phrase ‘new songs april 2022’ in www.youtube.com, selected ‘FILTERS’ from the upper left hand corner of the page, for ‘UPLOAD DATE’ I selected ‘This week’, I then scrolled down and selected ‘New Music Releases – April 15.2022 – New Songs Of The Week!’, which was published 23 hours ago by publisher ‘Current Chart Urban’. The music video clip for ‘Secrets from a Girl’ starts 4 minutes and 52 seconds into that video clip, towards the end of that video clip collection.

Before I present to you the tv series trailer that I chose, refurbished with inaproprieities removed, I want to say that it was absolutely not my 1st choice, but since the other ones that I considered still don’t have an official trailer, I eventually chose the one that I’m about to recommend to you. So, this is how I found it: I used the ‘Google News’ website on my laptop, since it seems to be the same content as the ‘Google News’ app from my smart phone. I then used one of my pre-made ‘Save searches’ called ‘premiere dates tv shows april 2022’, and from the selection offered, I selected ‘2022 TV Premiere Dates: The Full Winter And Spring Schedule’, which was published 2 days ago by ‘Cinemablend’. And here is a copy of what I selected for this blog:

Only Murders in the Building Season 2 – Hulu – 12:01 a.m.

—

Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about the series:

‘ Only Murders in the Building is an American mystery-comedy streaming television series created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman. The ten-episode first season premiered on Hulu on August 31, 2021.[1][2][3] The plot follows three strangers played by Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, who share an obsession with a true crime podcast. ‘

—

The trailer is only 30 seconds long, but in my opinion, is entertaining to watch, especially if you already like the series and want to see the next season. Here is a quote from that trailer, 23 seconds into it:

Charles-Hayden Savage(Steve Martin): ‘Hey, who’s cooler than me?’

Mabel Mora(Selena Gomez): ‘Everyone.’

Oliver Putnam(Martin Short): (nods his head in agreement with Mabel.)

—

To watch comedy tv series refurbished for advice ‘Only Murders in the Building’ season 2 for free, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘only murders building season 2’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with almost 287 thousand views. It was published 2 weeks ago by publisher Hulu. Here is a quote from one of the comments:

‘ They must have begin filming as soon as season one wrapped. That was fast! So looking forward to see these three again. Their chemistry is one of the best on Television/streaming ‘

It is now 11:33 AM EST for me. I am now going to order KFC food from the UberEats app. I’ll start typing again soon today.

—

It is now 1:20 PM EST for me. I have been thinking recently about how kids may use the last idea and this idea, and so I have decided to present to you another idea to help with the transition. For example, when kids interact with each other who are sharing what they have learned with each other, and this is based completely on my imagination, I don’t have any proof it is happening, ‘It’s the little things.’ , so to speak. So, here’s a quick quote from episode 7.5 ‘Into the Woods’ from crime mystery tv series ‘Elementary(2019)’, what Odin Reichenbach(James Frain) was saying in a presentation. I recommend you watch the rest of that presentation. I just don’t want to type the whole thing in. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 minute and 38 seconds into that episode. Here is the quote:

Odin Reichenbach: ‘Simple solutions for complicated problems. That’s how a website that launched in an office park became a multinational empire.’

—

My interpretation of Mr. Reichenbach’s speech for this advice: A bigger office was available, and refurbished, that represents people using what is available, the expense, the time, the resources involved to move into that bigger office. What the janitor said, made more useful by them of course, was to simply change the numbers on the doors. That represents the ‘simple’ solution that allows them to not need so much resource use in order to movie into that bigger office. So, what’s available without certain solutions, we make due with that, and what happens after using certain ‘simple’ solutions. When I offer you advice, I try to make it understandable for the general public to use. However, I have no control as to how you use that advice. And when you choose to share your experiences with each other as to how you use that advice, well, that may create some confusion. I hope what I said was helpful.

Restore enthusiasm(invented name 2:10 PM EST.):

The advice I am about to type in, and I don’t have a name for it yet, is based on a story that I invented a certain amount of years ago. It’s based on the ‘Star Wars’ character Yoda, made more popular by the tv series ‘The Mandalorian’, from the character Grogu. Here is a quick quote from wikipedia.org about Grogu. The wikipedia link is called ‘List of The Mandalorian characters’:

‘ Grogu, also known as “The Child” and colloquially referred to by fans and the media as “Baby Yoda”, is a young alien of the same species as popular Star Wars character Yoda. Although 50 years old, he is still an infant by the standards of his species, and although he cannot yet speak, he demonstrates a strong natural ability with The Force. ‘

—

So, here’s the story that I invented: As I was outside waiting for the bus at the bus terminal, I wanted Yoda to use his powers on a pole, such as one of those common light poles or communications poles that may be very common to see where you live, or when you go to the city. Eventually, the result would be something that was already there, already present. So, I imagined one of those poles to be bent, damaged if you will. Yoda would raise his arms and hands in the air, and that pole would be fixed. The ‘effect’ is that that pole already was straight to begin with! So, the damaged/bent appearance is imagined, and when Yoda uses his powers, it becomes the appearance of a pole that it already had, and that appearance was already it’s reality appearance.

And that’s the idea that I will use in the idea that I’m about to explain. The ideal result will be the identity it already has.

—

As of 2:10 PM EST, the name I have invented for this idea is ‘Restore enthusiasm’. I’ll put that in the beginning of this advice now.

The purpose/intent of idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’ is to restore that sense of enthusiasm that certain mild to moderate instigations may have drained from you. For example, if you are an adult who has experienced mild to moderate forms of instigations over the years, then maybe certain forms of those instigations may have drained somewhat your ability to sense certain forms of enthusiasms, in a healthy, normal way of course. For example, for the men who experienced instigation from attractive women, were those experiences positive, like those women who were single were giving you their phone numbers because they wanted to go out on a date with you, was it like one of those single attractive women were kissing you on the cheek, or did it feel like it was adversely affecting somewhat your sense of enthusiasm? In general, I am going to try to restore that sense of enthusiasm that innocent people in general may have difficulty reasonably, or even casually sensing again. This idea is not meant to change how you communicate, it’s meant as an exercise to help restore at least partially your sense of enthusiasm that you once had.

It is now 3:01 PM EST for me. I am going to use a scene in the sci-fi time travel movie ‘The Adam Project(2022)’ starring Mark Ruffalo as Louis Reed. As far as I know, the movie ‘The Adam Project’ currently is only available streaming from the Netflix streaming service. So, according to Netflix, I’m estimating that that scene starts around 1 hour, 11 minutes, and 22 seconds into the movie, Louis Reed is talking to his wife Ellie Reed(Jennifer Garner) about his son Adam(Isaiah Haegert). Here is the quote:

Louis Reed: ‘I don’t know if I should’ve built that game for him.’

—

The story for idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’ will involve a computer program. (Keep in mind that I just imagined this. It is not factual.) When the company created that computer program for it’s employees to possibly use, it was made in a generalistic sense, nowhere near the customized specifications Lous Reed used for the computer program he built for his son Adam. That computer program in the form of a video game allowed Adam to excel at being a pilot, which allowed him to join the program that involves time travel. Since his father invented the algorithm that allows for time travel, the people in charge of that program also wanted Louis Reed’s son Adam to be involved in that time travel program. Studies of the time travel program proved that Louis Reed’s son Adam greatly improved the time travel program with his participation in it. (as I imagined it)

—

I invented idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’ soon after inventing idea ‘At’, as in ‘Directed at’. According to www.imdb.com, ‘Star Trek: Picard Season 2’ started March 3, 2022, so I invented idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’ during the time I was watching ‘Star Trek: Picard Season 2’. I imagined Picard(Patrick Stewart), even as old as he looks in the tv series, I imagined him casually talking to a woman that he is trying to marry, about presenting proof to that woman’s parents that she is learning more about her own culture and heritage. Since I believe that Picard is a cultural anthropologist, that’s probably why I imagined him talking to her in such a manner. Since Picard is already a cultural anthropologist, that explains how plausible such a conversation is. So, using that as a reference, I created an idea where a company created a computer program that uses music, with the help of it’s associated music video, to emphasize various forms of enthusiasm for specific topics. To use this program, you would seemingly sing the lyrics to pre-selected songs that this program is set-up for, and if you meet that program’s expectations and use all of it’s enthusiasms, like Yoda presenting a solution that was already there, the results of your singing would sound exactly like that popular song that is used in that program.

Now, keep in mind that the company invented that program for specific enthusiasm acknowledgements. This idea, for this version of the explanation, is addressing a specific enthusiasm acknowledgement that involves people trying to get married, but one of their parents wants their child to know more about his/her culture before getting married, and the couple that wants to get married are discussing their efforts trying to achieve that goal.

This is the format that I have chosen: women singing in music videos expressing a relationship interest in men. Just that one direction. I just want to give you an example that you can extrapolate from. I’m choosing to only focus on women articulating the requirements for both themselves and for the men they want to marry. The 1st example that I used, refurbished with inaproprieities removed of course, is in the movie ‘The Chronicles of Riddick(2004)’, Dame Vaako’s(Thandiwe Newton)’s expressions of ambitions to her husband Vaako(Karl Urban). She’s always scheming to get her husband Vaako a promotion. The movie ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ is available streaming from Amazon.com. Here’s a quick quote from Amazon Video. The scene starts 44 minutes and 2 seconds into the movie:

Vaako: ‘Take care what you say.’

Dame Vaako: ‘Should I say it softly?’

Vaako: ‘So it sounds more like conspiracy?’

—

So, to help you understand how convenient this set-up is, the example is skipping the 1st time 2 people in a relationship meet, the dating process, etc. It goes right to a moment where they already are planning to get married, and they are discussing their efforts to prove to one of their parents that they are both learning more about a certain culture and belief. For example, even if it’s the woman’s parents that want her to learn more about her culture and heritage, both the woman and the man are learning more about the woman’s culture and heritage.

When the woman chooses to use the computer program, if she does it with experience, you don’t hear her actual voice. You instead hear the song exactly as it sounds, for example, when played by a radio. Several speakers are given to the employees, allowing that song to be heard in several places in the room/house. Using that computer program, she doesn’t hear her actual voice, but instead, if meeting the expectations of that program, she hears instead the woman that is singing in the original song. The voice in the song and all of it’s instruments are used to articulate various, separate expectations of enthusiasms, and when using that computer program, those expressions of enthusiasms are used in a conversation involving a particular topic.

A certain amount of years ago, I watched an episode of ‘Northern Exposure’ involving one of it’s characters. Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about him:

Ed Chigliak
Ed (Darren E. Burrows) is a mild-mannered, amiably tactless half-Native Alaskan who was abandoned as a young child and raised by the local Tlingits. He works for Maurice and later part-time at Ruth-Anne’s general store. A film buff and would-be director, he is also a shaman-in-training and is occasionally visited by his invisible spirit guide, One-Who-Waits, and by his personal demon, a dwarf who embodies Ed’s low self-esteem.

—

If memory serves, while he was in a relationship with a certain young woman who’s father is a business industrialist in that area, she was in a trailer with Ed and as she was fully clothed, she was on her back talking to Ed about how happy she is dating him. Ed was somewhere else in that trailer listening to her.

One more example. You may use certain singing performances from the musical comedy ‘Schmigadoon!(2021)’, Melissa Gimble’s(Cecily Strong) singing performances. That is available from the streaming service ‘Apple TV+’. You don’t have to use that show, it’s just available if you choose to.

So, here’s the recommended setting for the men: Just imagined, of course, the woman you want to marry and you are in a trailer, and that woman is either singing on the bed, and you are not on that bed but somewhere else in that trailer listening, or you are on that bed, and your soon to be wife is singing somewhere else in that trailer. When she is singing, the computer program presents it as if it’s exactly like the song from the radio and/or cd. That’s because she’s meeting all of the computer program’s enthusiasm expectations, voice and instrumental.

Now, let’s say that all of the women in the company are participating in that computer program’s use. If you choose to, you may just imagine being in that situation with those women, that they are singing to you. Of course, that situation is not true, that you are listening and imagining her based on the participations of that computer program. All of the women want their participations to sound exactly like the song in the radio/cd.

Since this is imagined, let’s use the ‘Quantum Leap rule’ from the tv series ‘Quantum Leap(1989+)’ starring Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett. Here is the partial quote from www.imdb.com:

‘ Theorising that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator, and vanished. ‘

—

So, for the men, imagined of course, from your birthday up to now, select all of the women within your reason that has been employed by your company, and choose a moment when they were single, and use that moment to imagine them individually singing to you in that trailer. That should give you a lot of women to select from. Of course, don’t actually imagine them. It’s just idea material you may use. Now, to make it more acceptable to you, just use a percentage of those women, and that percentage meets a certain criteria. For example, just 20% that you imagine won’t mind at all if you imagine? following this line of thinking.

Now, when I was beta testing idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’, I contemplationally practiced on 4 particular music videos that women were singing to. If you haven’t done so already, I recommend that you install the ‘Youtube’ app for your tv, and then listen to those music videos using headphones, not the speakers from your tv. Watch those 4 music videos using youtube while using headphones. If you can’t install youtube, or you don’t want to go through that hassle, then just watch the music videos using youtube.com from your computer or laptop. Here are the 4 music videos that I contemplationally tested for idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’:

1 ‘Erin Kinsey – “Just Drive” (Official Video)’

2. ‘Janet Jackson – Love Will Never Do (Without You) (Official Music Video)’

3. ‘Olivia Newton-John – Make A Move On Me’

4. ‘Olivia Newton-John – A Little More Love’

—

When watching the music using youtube, you don’t have to just start from the beginning of that music video. You may start watching it when the lyrics start, or when it suits you better. For example, in the music video ‘Love Will Never Do (Without You) by Janet Jackson from publisher ‘Janet Jackson World’, you may start using that music video 54 seconds into it, because that’s when Janet Jackson starts singing. You may ‘skip ahead’ to your favorite part of that music video.

I’ll try to describe a simulation example for the men to use: Let’s say you choose one of these music videos to watch, you installed the youtube app for your tv, and you have your headphones on to listen to that music video from your tv. For this 1st example, the woman is on the bed singing that song in the trailer, and you are somewhere else in that trailer. You are not looking at her, but you are listening to her, and the speakers are installed in various places in that trailer. As you are hearing her sing, with the computer program, she sounds exactly like the woman in that music video that you are watching. All of the instruments used and the singing voice from that music video are all articulating particular enthusiasms for that specific topic, a ‘VERY’ enthusiastic way of expressing your efforts to know about her culture and traditions, your efforts and hers, explained using that computer program.

—

The 1st time I did this to myself I think a week or so ago, the song ‘A Little More Love’ would be made aware to me contemplationally once or twice a few days afterwards. It would just contemplationally ‘come on’ soon after waking up from sleeping. I didn’t choose to recall it. It’s not vivid, but it doesn’t have to be vivid and expressive if you’re just thinking about it. And after that, that’s it. Hearing that song again in such a manner didn’t happen again.

—

It is now 4:42 PM EST for me. I am going to close this list now. I have made a few? ideas since I invented idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’, but I don’t know what I’ll type in, not until I decide next Saturday. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.

Oh, and to be clear, even meeting the expectations are imagined. When you use this idea, you are imagining that those enthusiasms are being met, but it’s just imagined. The purpose of idea ‘Restore enthusiasm’ is to restore the enthusiasms that were inhibited by certain mild to moderate exposures to certain instigations.
