Salutations.

It is now 7:47 AM EST for me.

1st, I want to talk about the nail strengthener I recommended in the last list, Wishlist #1340:

‘ OPI Nail Envy, Nail Strengthener Treatment, Matte Finish, 0.5 fl oz ‘

—

I’m assuming that men in general have little or no experience putting on anything on their nails, so this is how I used it, and recommend men using it whose side nails are splitting because they are now washing their hands more because of the pandemic: I just received it by mail less than a week ago myself. I would apply it to the areas that I believe the nails were splitting, which were the side part of my nails. I applied it to my index finger, middle finger, and that finger next to the pinkie finger. After applying it to those 3 fingers for one hand, I would then use my hair dryer on ‘cold’ setting, medium speed, to dry those nail applications faster. After let’s say 2 minutes of drying my nails, I would then repeat the process for the other hand.

Even before I received it from the mail, my body felt stronger, since I used the product several years before. And as soon as I started using it, my whole body felt stronger. I think the reason is because people in general have to wash their hands more, causing them to be more aware of their hands. So, when you use nail strengthener like OPI, your whole body feels stronger because you are so aware of your hands. And for the men who chose to use this product because of my recommendation, I don’t actually know since I’m not talking about this blog to anyone(except maybe twice to WordPress and a few times to Ipage in order to fix this blog), I’m just guessing based on my own experience with OPI, but I ‘guess’ that you, too, also feel stronger for using the OPI nail strengthener. So, based on my experience, you don’t have to use it on your entire nails, just the part that is splitting, and the hair dryer speeds up the drying process, too. Also, I recommend that you do this before you sleep, once a day. That way, it’s not a hassle as you are preparing to go to work.

Now, in Wishlist #1340, I also said this:

‘ All right. It is now 10:02 AM EST for me. I’m not going to order food today, since I have leftovers from yesterday, and I have the food from grocery shopping from yesterday, which included an uncooked steak that I may eat today. ‘

—

Later that same day, I cooked that steak, and it tasted like it was the best steak that I have ever cooked for myself. I think it had something to do with the idea ‘Lie grievance address’ and that OPI nail strengthener anticipation. I recommend that, if you can eat steak, then I recommend that you cook the steak yourself to see if you may notice that such food tastes a lot better. Here’s how I did it: I think it was:

‘Beef Rib Club Steak’

—

That steak was with the bone. I added this tenderizer to it, on only one side of it, and I cooked it on a frying pan and just added butter spread to it. Here’s the name of the tenderizer:

‘ Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning’

—

Amazon.com sells it. Just search for phrase ‘grill mates montreal steak seasoning’, and Amazon.com sells the 11.62 oz of it for only about $7, and that’s with Prime shipping. Amazon.com sells bigger sizes, which may be an indicator to you that it’s a very popular steak seasoning, if you’re not familiar with it.

So, to review, use one of your pan fryers and just tenderize one side of that steak, and add butter to the frying pan for flavor. While cooking it, flip it a few times, and when you start eating it, if you don’t normally eat steak, you may notice that it’s the best steak that you have eaten that you have cooked for yourself.

I bought more of that steak yesterday, but without the bone, and I’m going to do it again to see if it still tastes good. I don’t eat as much steak as the character Thomas Anderson(Keanu Reeves) seems to do(as you are watching the movie) in the movie ‘The Matrix Resurrections(2021)’, but I do eat steak occasionally. As I was recently thinking about it, those moments Anderson was eating steak were probably selected moments, but as I was watching the movie, it seemed like he would regularly eat steak, which may not be true. And, of course, it’s a movie anyway.

—

It is now 8:54 AM EST for me. I’m going to look for that movie and trailer again. And since I bought 2 beef rib club steaks from the supermarket yesterday, I’m not ordering out, and that means more time for the blog. Soon after I prepare the music video and trailer, I’ll continue typing later today. I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 10:27 AM EST for me.

I want to address the tv show trailer 1st. For this particular trailer, I want to say that I felt an enthusiastic sense of suspense while watching it. The reason is because I watched all 7 seasons of ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.(2013-2020)’, and even when character Phil Coulson(Clark Gregg) wasn’t in it, and of course he would be there as an android, I still treated the trailer as carrying over the ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ tv series. In my opinion, the music associated with the trailer also contributed with encouraging people who watch it to have an obvious feeling of suspense. The tv series trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘SECRET INVASION Trailer (2023)’. I found it from one of the publishers presented from my signed-in youtube homepage, publisher ‘FilmSelect’. Go to www.youtube.com, search for phrase ‘filmselect’, select that publisher, select ‘VIDEOS’, and category ‘SECRET INVASION Trailer (2023) Marvel’ is there. According to FilmSelect’, it was published 6 days ago. As of now, from FilmSelect, it has over 27 thousand views. At 10:38 AM EST, I searched www.youtube.com for phrase ‘secret invasion trailer’, and according to publisher ‘Marvel Entertainment’, it has over 16 million views, and was published September 10, 2022, also probably 6 days ago. I’m going to watch the ‘FilmSelect’ trailer again, so that I can feel that suspense vibe again.

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

Secret Invasion is an upcoming American television miniseries created by Kyle Bradstreet for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics storyline of the same name.

Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury from the film series, along with Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, with Cobie Smulders, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, and Don Cheadle also starring.

Secret Invasion is scheduled to premiere in early 2023, and will consist of six episodes.

—

And here is the premise from www.imdb.com:

‘ Fury and Talos try to stop the Skrulls who have infiltrated the highest spheres of the Marvel Universe. ‘

—

And here is a quote from one of the comments from publisher ‘Marvel Entertainment’:

‘ This feels like something that the new mcu projects are missing, some good grounded suspense with action. Loved it ‘

—

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called Movin’ (After Hours) by David Archuleta. I found it by searching for phrase ‘new songs september 2022’ in www.youtube.com, select ‘FILTERS’, for ‘UPLOAD DATE’, select ‘This week’, and the selection where it was found is called ‘Top Songs of the Week | September 16, 2022’, published by ‘Hot Music Charts’ on September 14, 2022. A video clip from ‘Movin” starts 2 minutes and 12 seconds into the video selection. It is #79 out of 100. Here is a quote from broadwayworld.com about the song and video:

‘ David explains, “Movin was a song I wanted to have fun with and challenge myself by literally Movin’ with some choreography. I wanted just a touch of Latin feel even though it’s not necessarily Latin music.” With “Movin’s”- After Hours mix David says, “I asked Nate Dodge, the producer, to see what we could do to spice up Movin’s original mix. In Nate fashion, he ended up coming up with something completely different though, lol. I loved the alternate feel, but it felt like a completely different song. I fell in love with both versions, couldn’t make up my mind, and decided I’d just release both. Because they both get me movin’. ‘

—

And here is a quote from the lyrics to song “Movin'”:

Ooh, I like the way you’re movin’, you’re movin’
You’ve been playin’ hard to get from the start
Ooh, I like the way you’re movin’, you’re movin’
Ooh, I’m likin’ what you do to, you do to my heart

—

To watch music video ‘Movin” for free, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘david archuleta movin’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 167 thousand views. It was published July 29, 2022 by publisher ‘David Archuleta’.

When I watched it, it created a relaxing mood. It was like he was presenting slow, relaxing dance moves to jazz music.

It is now 11:45 AM EST for me.

Here’s my recommended study plan: There are 2 ideas that I want to type in called ‘Culpable’ and ‘Replay’ for this list. Next list, I want to give you something to work with for idea ‘Self’ before actually explaining idea ‘Self’. And for the 3rd Saturday, I will finally explain idea ‘Self’. So, 1st, I’ll explain ideas ‘Culpable’ and ‘Replay’ in this list:

Culpable:

The definition for word ‘culpable’ that I’m using for idea ‘Culpable’ is from www.dictionary.com:

‘ deserving blame or censure; blameworthy. ‘

—

To be clear, I just imagined idea ‘Culpable’. However, even though I just imagined it, I believe that this idea could be very useful for people who are experiencing instigation at work or school, because if you extrapolate from idea ‘Culpable’ to apply to your lives, to you mild to moderate instigation experiences, then I believe it is very possible that certain instigation experiences could be using what is identified by idea ‘Culpable’ to adversely affect you. And, of course, you don’t have to use this idea at all. It’s only a recommendation. I believe it may be useful to you, but you don’t have to use it. For example, a person can just contemplationally say ‘This is garbage!’, and just imagine throwing the idea away, literally into an imagined garbage can. So, here it is:

I just checked www.google.com, and searched for phrase ‘population of america 2022’, and as of January 1, 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are over 332 million people. So, statistically, even though I just imagined it, it is possible that there are people who have instigated people in certain jobs, and also somehow ended up in jail, something to do with what they did to the person they have instigated. I don’t believe that this is a common occurrence, but since there are so many people in America, I certainly believe that it is a very possible occurrence, something that has already happened in certain jobs, and will continue to happen in the future.

So, let’s say that, imagined, one or more people that you worked with that instigated you somehow ended up in jail, and the reasons are related to what he/she/they did to you. And let’s assume that you are innocent. Let’s focus on just one of those imagined people. When you are thinking about that person talking about you to management, that person could be trying to make you culpable for his/her defense, for his/her prosecution for when that person is in jail. That person could be saying things about you to management, let’s address only certain things, and those things may even sound like flattery. The reason why that person is talking about you in such a way is because that person is trying to make you culpable within his/her mind, and for the benefits of that person’s prosecution. You may be thinking about that person talking about you, and it interests you because, sometimes, it sounds like flattery, like you have the intelligence of Lex Luthor from the comics and movies, or maybe it’s so insultingly unbelievable. For whatever reason, in relation to advice said, the reason I am recommending for you to consider is that that person wants you to be culpable for that person’s possible defense/prosecution.

Now, let’s say that that person has been in jail for several years now, and that person is still trying to talk about you a certain way, whether it’s flattery and/or insulting. That is because that person is still trying to make you culpable for that person’s defense/prosecution.

The reason idea ‘Culpable’ may be useful to you is because of idea ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’. A sense of culpability could be used by the instigator as bait to cause you to address something that you choose to not address. With idea ‘Culpable’, it is the intent of this advice that the idea helps you manage better such a contemplation experience. If you want to think about it, that’s up to you, and if you choose to not address anything because you’re working, for example, and it’s not relevant for you to think about such things, then idea ‘Culpable’ could help you discontinue/stop such thinking.

If you are experiencing a sense of contemplation induced culpability for someone that you used to work with, I recommend you also consider the possibility that other instigations from other people may also try to exacerbate(to increase the severity, bitterness, or violence of) that thinking use of culpability. Think of it like the rings from a tree trunk, and the culpability is from one of the people that you used to work with, that culpability is at the center of that tree trunk. The center is the culpability that person is generating, the 2nd outer ring is you blaming that person, and the other rings may represent other instigations from other workers encouraging that situation to continue in your mind.

As a solution, just contemplationally say ‘Culpable’, to check if such a situation is happening in your thinking, so that you may better manage such a situation. ‘Knowing is half the battle’, so to speak.

I forgot to mention that, as a natural safeguard, when you think about that person making you culpable, try to fortify it in a situation where that person is talking to someone in management, while in a courtroom, situations like that that cause that person to not just say anything, that gives that person some sort of reservation to talk, so that you may more safely think about that person trying to make you culpable. For example, when that person is video teleconferencing from jail to an instigation group that that person used to belong to while working, that video teleconferencing is likely to be recorded, and even if it wasn’t, the situation would most definitely encourage that person to watch what that person is saying to that instigation group. In other words, when you think about that, because of all of those safeguards, you may relax and watch the show. What are they going to say to each other that’s so terrible under such conditions?

—

Replay:

Although I haven’t seen every sports event that has been shown on tv, it is my belief that, for the main one’s, they would usually ‘replay’ a certain moment in that event, so that you can extrapolate and enjoy it more.

The definition of ‘replay’ that I am using for idea ‘Replay’ from www.dictionary.com is:

‘ a repetition, recurrence, or reenactment’

—

I could be wrong about that definition. Anyway, I’ll also explain idea ‘Replay’ as I would normally do, with illustrations.

—

It is now 1:44 PM EST for me.

The 1st reference I’ll use is in movie ‘Star Trek: Generations(1994)’, Data(Brent Spiner) talking to Geordi(LeVar Burton). The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 35 minutes into the movie. Here is the quote:

Data: (laughing) ‘I get it. I get it.’

Geordi: ‘You get what?’

Data: ‘When you said to Commander Riker, ‘The clown can stay, but the Ferenghi in the gorilla suit has to go.’

Geordi: ‘What are you talking about?’

Data: ‘During the Farpoint mission. We were on the bridge. You told a joke. That was the punch line.’

Geordi: ‘The Farpoint- Data, that was seven years ago.’

Data: ‘I know. I just got it. Very funny.’

—

So, the idea behind ‘Replay’ is that, let’s say you recently experienced a mild to moderate instigation, and that leads to a contemplation of something that happened in the past. Since the contemplation is caused by an instigation, the contemplation recall may be used as bait, as a decoy that is created in your mind by an instigation, to cause you to think about something. It could be about the replay itself, but overemphasized. It could be about something specific that the instigator wants you to think about. If you are an adult that experiences instigation at work, then you may have already experienced a contemplation ‘replay’. The illustration example of Data recalling an event 7 years ago is a replay, but it’s not instigation induced. It’s just an example to help you understand idea ‘Replay’. The main illustration examples of ‘Replay’ would be when Batman would ‘replay’ certain times that he would ‘disappear’ while the other person Batman is talking to believes that he is still there. If you search for phrase ‘batman vanishing act’ in www.google.com, you may find the link ‘List of times Batman pulled the vanishing act’. Here’s the description from that link:

‘ Being trained in the art of stealth, Batman was an expert in sneaking away from someone without being noticed. This was often unnerving to the people he did it to, because they would find themselves talking alone before they noticed Batman was long gone. This list catalogs the times and people from whom Batman sneaked away completely undetected. ‘

—

There is a scene in the movie ‘The Dark Knight Rises(2012)’ when Catwoman(Anne Hathaway) does the ‘vanishing act’ to Batman. That’s the scene, refurbished for advice, that I’m going to use for idea ‘Replay’. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, for context(more scenes added to understand reference), that scene starts 55 minutes and 20 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:

Batman(Christian Bale): ‘What’s he gonna do with them?’

Catwoman: ‘I don’t know. But Daggett seemed pretty interested in that mess at the stock market.’

Batman: (Batman turns his head to look at the nearby flying helicopter. When he turns his head again to talk to Catwoman, she is gone.)

Batman: ‘Miss Kyle?’

Batman: ‘So that’s what that feels like.’

—

So, when Batman said quote:

Batman: ‘So that’s what that feels like.’

—

let’s say imagined he’s talking about certain times that he did that ‘vanishing act’ to other people, including Superman. And that’s the ‘replay’ Batman is experiencing, but because he is Batman, it is hard to say that he interpreted what Catwoman did as an instigation. However, if you choose to, you may use that moment for idea ‘Replay’, when Batman, imagined, also experienced a ‘Replay’. One of Batman’s replay moments, one of his vanishing acts, that I am using from one of the comic books, you can purchase from Amazon.com via their comixology account, and read it from their Kindle. I don’t want to explain how Kindle works for comic books, but if you are familiar with it, in Amazon.com, category ‘All’, just search for phrase ‘superman batman 87’, and it’s the one when Clark Kent? is sitting down typing, and the Joker is in the background. It’s only about $1 dollar, and you read the comic book using the Kindle program provided by Amazon.com. The quote is in page 18 of the comic book. I’m using the Kindle Cloud Reader to quote from it:

Clark Kent: ‘Hiding the truth, Mr. Mayne, is sometimes a necessity. The problem is, you can never hide it from yourself.’

Mr. Mayne: (talking to Batman) ‘Metropolis guys, am I right? All righteous anger and no indignation. We all know that’s not the real world. That’s not Gotham. Right, Bats?’

(Batman does his vanishing act again.)

Mr. Mayne: ‘Batman?’ (sighs)

—

So, the idea behind ‘Replay’ is to use Batman’s imagined experience with ‘Replay’ created by Catwoman in the movie ”The Dark Knight Rises(2012)’ to allow you to manage better experienced inclinations to have contemplation replays induced by instigations and related inadvertencies. Since it’s a direct Batman reference, I recommend using music from the Batman movies to help reference when Batman experienced ‘replay’.

—

Inspiration:

It is now 2:42 PM EST for me. Since it’s getting late for me, I’m going to give you the sloppy explanation for idea ‘Inspiration’. I thought I had enough time to explain it, I was going to let you know, but as usual, I was wrong about the time. The illustration scene that I created idea ‘Inspiration’ was made yesterday while I was watching it. It’s from the movie ‘Xanadu(1980)’ starring Olivia Newton-John as Kira, and Michael Beck as Sonny Malone. It’s that scene from the movie when Sonny Malone is roller skating towards that mural of the Nine Muses Of Olympus. According to wikipedia.org, the Muses ‘are the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge embodied in the poetry, lyric songs, and myths that were related orally for centuries in ancient Greek culture.’ , which is what led me to make the idea about inspiration.

So, basically, I imagined talking to what I believe to be an attractive, single, available woman, and in that conversation, I gave her inspiration. However, after experiencing that inspiration, she looked at me, and shrugged me off as she chose to walk away, believing that the reason I gave her that inspiration was to be in a relationship with her.

Yes, I wanted to be in a relationship with her, but the inspiration that I wanted her to have was given to her without any obligated reciprocation. I was still disappointed that she did not want to be in a relationship with me, but the inspiration I wanted for her to have was freely given, so to speak.

I believe that men pursuing relationships in general have intent to do ‘the right thing’, but when actually initiating such actions, it helps to clarify to yourself your goals in what you actually want to achieve. That way, your actions should have more continuity, even when attractive women ‘shrug you off’. Plus, it’s possible that certain experienced instigations may discourage such intentual acceptable behavior to have a certain continuity in the minds of single men pursuing such actions.

I watched that scene, called ‘The Fall’, from the youtube app for tv. Just search for phrase in www.youtube.com ‘xanadu the fall’, and that scene should be one of the 1st selections offered. Here is a quote from the song, to avoid ambiguity:

I see the early glow, I hear you say hello
I watch the shadows fall, I don’t see you at all

It’s a lie (I don’t believe it’s so), it’s a lie

—

I was watching that scene yesterday, 9/16/2022, while I invented idea ‘Inspiration’. Also, to be clear, I am also a single, available man, which certainly helps in my opinion to make idea ‘Inspiration’.

—

It is now 3:03 PM EST for me. I am going to close this list now. Next Saturday, I will explain a few ideas, a map if you will, to give you something to use for idea ‘Self’, if you choose to, and the Saturday after that, I will finally explain idea ‘Self’, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
