Salutations.
It is now 7:48 AM EST for me.
I know I am supposed to explain idea ‘Self’ now, but I changed my mind again.(I said that there was a possibility that I may change my mind.) The reason is because I suspect that people would benefit from ideas that would help them acclimate to those ‘3 rules’ ideas that I typed in the previous list, Wishlist #1345. For example, if you are a new reader, and that is your 1st list, well, privately of course, you probably have some questions that you would want to have answered about it. And, since it may have worked for you, the effectiveness of it may have created concerns that you did not have before. Therefore, to help people acclimate to the ‘3 ideas’, pretty much Wishlist #1345, and to help prepare you more for idea ‘Self’, I have decided to give you a few more ideas before I explain idea ‘Self’, an idea that I will explain next Saturday, unless I change my mind again.
To help the new readers out, and in general, I have been typing in this blog for a certain amount of years now, and if you are new to reading this blog, you may have noticed that there are certain liabilities that, if you were making such ideas, there are certain liabilities that may discourage you from continuing with your original plan to make ideas. I experience such liabilities many times. Here is an illustration reference that may help you interact with such liabilities. Refurbished for advice with inapproprieities removed, of course(is there a right way to spell the word ‘inaproprieities?’), the scene is in episode 10.13 ‘The Road Not Taken’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Stargate SG-1(2007)’, Major Hammond(Don S. Davis) and Lt. Col. Samantha Carter(Amanda Tapping) are talking. You may watch more of that episode, refurbished for advice, for further understanding. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, the 1st scene starts 23 minutes and 55 seconds into the video. Here is the quote:
Samantha Carter: ‘You abandoned the alpha site. You cut ties with the Jaffa. You pulled back on almost everything.’
Major Hammond: ‘We didn’t have a lot of choice. We devoted our full resources to planetary defense.’
Samantha Carter: ‘Well, that’s understandable, but now that the Ori attack has failed, does that mean you’ll be getting back out there?’
Major Hammond: ‘That decision hasn’t been made yet.’
Samantha Carter: ‘Of course not.’
—
24 minutes and 31 seconds into the episode:
Major Hammond: ‘Hank Landry brought us back from the brink of chaos.’
Samantha Carter: ‘That was three years ago.’
Major Hammond: ‘The threat is still out there.’
Samantha Carter: ‘That’s the problem. It always will be.’
—
So, the highlighted statement from those 2 quotes is when Samantha Carter said:
Samantha Carter: ‘That’s the problem. It always will be.’
—
With some experience with the existence of certain liabilities, that may allow you to continue with your original plans to explain, even when such liabilities may discourage you from doing so.
—
It is now 8:15 AM EST for me. I am going to look for that music video and trailer now, and soon after I prepare them, I will introduce them to you later today. You don’t have to use them. That’s just part of my routine to explain these ideas. I believe it may help with attention span. So, I’ll be back later today.

It is now 10:02 AM EST for me.
All right! The music video that I watched for the 1st time and recommend for this list is called ‘That’s My Girl’ by Fifth Harmony. It was published Sep 19, 2016, over 6 years ago, by publisher Fifth Harmony, and it has over 234 million views! I realize that the music video is kind of old, over 6 years ago, but it’s on a list called ‘Hottest Viral Hits’. Here’s a description from that list:
A selection of the greatest music that YOU chose to viral out on social media.
—
Also, it’s the 1st time that I watched the music video.
Here’s how I found the music video ‘That’s My Girl’: I searched in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘vevo’, clicked publisher ‘Vevo’, paused the ‘Pop Vido Weekly’ music video clip that was playing, scrolled down to the bottom of the page to category ‘Featured Channels’, selected it, then selected ‘Vevo UK’, paused the video clip playing, selected category ‘POP Playlists’, then from sub-category ‘Hottest Viral Hits’, select ‘VIEW FULL PLAYLIST’. Music video ‘That’s My Girl’ is #2 out of 151 videos. To watch music video ‘That’s My Girl’, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘fifth harmony thats my girl’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered. Here’s a quote from the lyrics to song ‘That’s My Girl’:
You’ve been down before
You’ve been hurt before
You got up before
You’ll be good to go, good to go
Destiny said it, you got to get up and get it
Get mad independent and don’t you ever forget it
Got some dirt on your shoulder
Then let me brush it off for ya
If you’re feeling me, put your five high
That’s my girl
—
And here is a quote from stagerightsecrets.com about the music video for song ‘That’s My Girl’. I searched in www.google.com for the phrase ‘fifth harmony that’s my girl music video reviews’ to find it:
The latest installment of pure girl power comes in the form of their newest video, “That’s My Girl.” The video features the five-piece looking like literal warriors in an action/thriller and rocking some pretty awesome dance moves. What else could you really expect from these ladies? This song is about to be on every single one of your playlists because you will not be able to get it out of your head.
—
Like what the review said, in my opinion, lots of music video special effects and lots of dance moves. I like the way those women express their attitudes.

It is now 10:48 AM EST for me.
The tv show trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend to be used for this list is called ‘Star Trek: Picard | Teaser Trailer (NYCC 2022)’. To watch that movie trailer for free, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘star trek picard nycc 2022’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 1.3 million views! It was published by ‘Paramount Plus’ on Oct 8, 2022, 13 days ago. Here’s a description from the youtube link about the tv show trailer:
Get a closer look at Star Trek: Picard Season 3 in an all-new teaser that premiered at the Star Trek Universe panel at New York Comic Con 2022. Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, and Michael Dorn of Star Trek: The Next Generation all return for one final high stakes mission. Stream the Season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Picard on Thursday, February 16, 2023, exclusively in the U.S. on Paramount+.
—
There are 2 scenes from that tv show trailer that I want to identify, if you choose to watch it. The 1st scene starts 2 minutes and 7 seconds into that video clip, and re-introduces one of the characters in tv series ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’, I’m not sure, but I think it’s Professor James Moriarty(Daniel Davis)’, 1st introduced in episode 2.3 ‘Elementary, Dear Data’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation(1988)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com. If you search for phrase ‘star trek wiki moriarty’ in google.com, https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/ can give you more information about Moriarty. In a nutshell, so to speak, here’s a short quote from wikipedia.org from episode ‘Elementary, Dear Data’:
There, Geordi instructs the computer to create a unique Sherlock Holmes mystery with an adversary who is capable of defeating Data.
—
And, starting 2 minutes and 23 seconds, at the end of that trailer, Lore, Data’s brother, is introduced. Here’s a quick quote from wikipedia.org link ‘List of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters’ about Lore:
Lore[26] (/ˈloʊr/; played by Brent Spiner) is a prototype android and the “brother” of main character Data.
—
So, in my opinion, it’s going to be an interesting Season 3 for tv series ‘Star Trek: Picard’ indeed. Here is a quote from one of the comments:
Brent Spiner didn’t want to keep playing Data, but he doesn’t seem to want to stop playing “sort of Data” either.
Anyway, most of this looks so-so but when I saw Moriarty, I was hooked. I thought the franchise missed an opportunity by not bringing him back in Voyager when mobile holo-emitters became a thing, so I’m uber-psyched to finally see him on-screen again.

All right! It is now 11:31 AM EST for me.
Here’s the idea plan: I plan to type in 5 stories, and they’re all connected. The 1st story will refurbish character Emmett Kurzfeld portrayed by celebrity John Goodman from the movie ‘Atomic Blonde(2017)’. He’s going to be a normal businessman in the story. The 2nd story will use a scene from the movie ‘The Big Year(2011)’ starring Steve Martin as Stu Preissler. The 3rd story will combine both the 1st story and the 2nd story to create a unique 3rd story. The 4th story will refurbish a scene from the movie ‘Morning Glory(2010)’ starring Rachel McAdams as Becky, and the 5th story will use 2 scenes from episode 1.4 ‘Ether’ from crime mystery ‘Stingray(1986)’. So, if you choose to, let’s continue with explaining the 1st story:
To begin, here is a quote from wikipedia.org about John Goodman, category ‘Personal life’:
Goodman married Annabeth Hartzog, originally of Bogalusa, Louisiana, in 1989.[46] They met at a Halloween party at Tipitina’s when he was filming Everybody’s All-American in New Orleans.[47] They reside in the Garden District of New Orleans.[10][48] Their daughter, Molly Evangeline Goodman (born 1990), works as a production assistant in the film industry.
—
And here is 2 quotes from wikipedia.org from link ‘Atomic Blonde’:
‘ John Goodman as Emmett Kurzfeld, a senior CIA agent working with MI6. ‘
‘ By April 2020, it was announced the film was in development as a Netflix exclusive film, while Theron will also be a producer. ‘
—
In my opinion, there’s still nothing certain that says that there’s going to be an ‘Atomic Blonde 2’, but if there is, it’s possible that celebrity John Goodman will reprise his role as Emmett Kurzfeld.
The purpose of this story starring celebrity John Goodman as an employee of a company, for simplicity, let’s use his ‘Atomic Blonde’ name Emmett Kurzfeld for this story, is to show you an example that an employee with a legitimate job is still working without that employee’s salary and benefits being affected, even though there is obvious liability associated with that employee’s job. So, the plot is that one of the jobs/promises a company made to other companies and businesses could no longer be honored. The resources that used to be available to that company are no longer available for that particular project, and so what will probably happen for that particular job is that the company responsible will eventually have to pay a fine for that. They have already talked to all of the businesses and companies that they have offered such a service, but not to everyone involved.
Emmett Kurzfeld(John Goodman) is the employee assigned to that project. He is the only one in the office, and the majority of his time is spent explaining to other employees from other companies that the service is no longer offered. He also resolves other issues related to that service. Imagine if you choose to Emmett Kurzfeld smiling at you, welcoming you to enter his office that he’s currently in. You are looking at him through an open door to his office.
Emmett Kurzfeld’s employment is secure. Even though there is a lot of liability express by the disgruntled employees from other companies, none of those liabilities affect his financial situation. The salary and the benefits he is receiving from the company is not affected by those liabilities. If you choose to, you may imagine to be one of those employees that made a deal with his company to receive such services, and you are choosing to talk to him directly to find out what’s going on, why such services are no longer being offered to your company. Emmett Kurzfeld answers some of those questions, and he even invites you to listen to some of the phone calls he is receiving in regards to that liability.
So, just imagine Emmett Kurzfeld(John Goodman) holding a phone to his ear, or some sort of phone device to his ear, and he is calmly talking to someone, but he is able to resolve that person’s complaint without needing to talk about the obvious service that employee is no longer getting. After that phone call ended, he expresses to you the satisfaction that he was able to resolve a complaint in such a manner.

The quote from the movie ‘The Big Year(2011)’ is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 37 minutes and 44 seconds into the movie. Here is the quote:
Stu Preissler(Steve Martin): ‘Hey, Jim.’
Jim Gittelson(Kevin Pollak): ‘Yeah, listen, talks broke down. Deal was dead by 10:00. Over. Total acrimony, but on the way out the door, we agreed to a do-or-die session May 14, here in New York, in our offices.’
—
38 minutes and 6 seconds into the movie:
Jim Gittelson: ‘Stu, you’re not involved, the deal dies.’
Barry Loomis(Joel McHale): ‘Look, you gave these people their jobs. If you don’t do something, they’re gonna lose them. And that means a heck of a lot more than some birds on Attu.’
Here is a character description from wikipedia.org about Stu Preissler:
‘ Stu is the founder and CEO of an enormous Manhattan-based chemical conglomerate which he built from the ground up, starting in his garage. After decades of corporate success, he is ready to retire to Colorado with his architect wife. Fear of an empty schedule led him to come back from a previous retirement, but now he wants to leave his company in the hands of his two lieutenants. The company is in the middle of complicated negotiations to merge with a competitor, so his two anointed successors keep calling him back to New York for important meetings; ‘
—
Here’s why I’m using Stu Preissler as an example for the 2nd story: In the movie ‘The Big Year’, Stu is a very convenient example, not all examples of course, of a CEO who is able to sell his company, and is the only one that can do many things with it. In this example, later in the movie, Stu will be able to successfully participate in a negotiation that will allow those employees to keep their jobs for another 4 years. Oversimplified, Stu is the only one that can do that. After all, he created that company. I’m a non-managerial employee, but I imagined that when Stu creates projects for his company, he regularly keeps in mind that it meets the criteria to possibly be used by other CEOs, by other business owners, even though what he also uses to create such projects also can only be done by himself, and Stu Preissler does it very well.
Since I’m assuming that most Americans are not CEOs, let’s use non-managerial employees as an example, they don’t have the same expectations as CEOs, as it relates to resource use. When Stu allowed all of those employees to keep their jobs, I recommend that you imagine that Stu does not know any of those employees personally, even though he may have legal access to know certain things about them, since they all work for him. You may choose to imagine that Stu’s mindset involves running his company, and given the many employees in his company, it’s not possible for him to know most of them in a personal level.

The 3rd story combines somewhat the 1st 2 stories. The character Stu Preissler from the movie ‘The Big Year’ is still used, and here is the story: 20 years ago, one of Stu Preissler’s employees portrayed by celebrity Jonny Lee Miller based on his character portrayal of Sherlock Holmes from the tv series ‘Elementary(2012-2019), let’s not give him a name, he gave a presentation to Stu and several other employees at a memorial plaque(an inscribed commemorative tablet, usually of metal placed on a building, monument, or the like.), that he had created a key of sorts associated with that memorial plaque, and if certain projects would use that key, being physically close to that memorial plague would activate that project key. He explained in detail how that works to his boss Stu Preissler at the time and those other employees. Soon after, Stu Preissler created several projects using that key, since his imagination was inspired by the use of that key. You see, there is no obvious physical key involved with that memoral plaque, unless you use the site itself, which includes that memorial plaque, unless you interpret that entire site as a key. That use of such a key inspired his imagination to create several projects for his company. After a month or so, he sort of lost interest in it, and pursued other goals. However, those projects he created are real, and continue to be used by the company.
Now, Stu Preissler chooses to re-visit that memorial plaque, with 10 or so employees, because he needs to tinker with it a little. 20 years ago, even though the projects he created using that key is still valid, how he created it in his mind, his use of imagination interacting with the resources he chose to use, Stu Preissler is the only one that can use such a thing. He never presented such a thing to his company or other employees.(Does such a thing normally occur?) All of those employees wearing those suits at the memorial plaque, they only need to physically be there. For a few hours, Stu Preissler just seems to be thinking to himself as those employees casually talk to each other.
In his mind, he is also interacting with company associated liabilities that only he can handle. He doesn’t expose any of his employees to such a use of liability, because they may inadvertently hurt themselves, since they don’t know how to reasonably interact with such liabilities. The situation reminds me of the phrase ‘If you knew, you would never do it.’ , if there is such a phrase. So, if you noticed, those employees Stu Preissler is with are not exposed to such liabilities. They are just doing their jobs, their paychecks and their company benefits not adversely affected by Stu Preissler’s use of company related liabilities.

It is now 1:28 PM EST for me.
The 4th story is based on a scene, refurbished, from the movie ‘Morning Glory(2010)’, starring Rachel McAdams as Becky Fuller, and Harrison Ford as Mike Pomeroy. Here’s a quick quote from wikipedia.org:
‘ Harrison Ford as Mike Pomeroy, a serious news journalist and anchor who has worked in television for over forty years. He is unhappy at having to co-host a show that does not deal with real news stories. ‘
—
The movie ‘Morning Glory’ is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 1 second into the movie. Here is the quote:
Becky Fuller(Rachel McAdams): ‘Oh, my goodness(edited), this is the Governor’s country house. Are you out of your mind? You’re experiencing a psychotic break. Are you insane? Well, I won’t be drowned with you. You’re gonna get us arrested and fired. I get fired, I never work again, you lunatic.’
—
So, here’s the refurbished for advice story that I imagined for that scene: Mike Pomeroy is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. He chooses to work for a company that allows him to ‘dial it down’ because when he pursues certain aspects of journalism, journalism that would probably get him another Pulitzer, the people that he works with in such a pursuit in general respond in a despondent(feeling or showing profound hopelessness, dejection, discouragement, or gloom) manner. Now, as they approach the Governor’s mansion, Rachel McAdams is also responding in a despondent manner. That is how she is reacting to such an experience. Based on how Rachel is reacting, that is one of the many examples why Mike Pomeroy no longer pursues such journalism. The people he works with in such a pursuit react in a despondent manner, and it’s a safe assumption that they’ll never react even remotely like he does when pursuing such journalism. Sure, if you’re Mike Pomeroy’s apprentice, you’re reaction should improve considerably, but under normal circumstances, people in general would not be able to acclimate acceptably to Mike Pomeroy’s journalism pursuits. So, if you choose to, you may watch that scene a few more times, the way Rachel McAdams was reacting as they were approaching the Governor’s house, to get one example of what that’s like.

It is now 1:50 PM EST for me.
I’m going to explain the 5th story, but I’m going to close this list next Saturday. I’ll add the disclaimers then. That way, I’ll have the time needed to explain the 5th story.
All right. The 2 scenes used is in episode 1.4 ‘Ether’ from crime mystery tv series ‘Stingray(1986)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, but from a service called ‘Freevee’, and that includes commercials. When I tried to use Freevee to access those 2 scenes, I had to watch through 2 commercials. You can watch it that way. I recommend that you turn off the volume during the commercials if you don’t want to watch those commercials. You can still watch the episode ‘Ether’ from www.youtube.com without commercials. To do that, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘stingray ether’, and one of the selections called ‘Stingray – Season 1, Episode 4 – Ether – Full Episode’ published by ‘FilmRise Television’ offers you to see it. It was published 2 years ago. I’m going to quote 2 scenes from that youtube video clip. The 1st scene starts 8 minutes and 46 seconds into the video clip. Here is the quote:
Dr. Joel Forrester(James Laurenson): ‘What name do you want to use? I don’t even know who you are.’
Stingray(Nick Mancuso): ‘Well, you’re the doctor. You’ll think of something.’
—
The 2nd scene starts near the end of the episode, 47 minutes and 37 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:
Dr. Cornell(Carolyn Ann Clark): ‘Have you heard anything?’
Dr. Joel Forrester: ‘From Dr. Rostelli? No.’
Dr. Cornell: ‘You know, he never did tell me his name.’
Dr. Joel Forrester: ‘Well, that makes two of us.’
—
So, the highlight is how Dr. Joel Forrester reacted when Dr. Cornell said quote:
Dr. Cornell: ‘You know, he never did tell me his name.’
—
And this is the story that I imagined Dr. Joel Forrester’s reaction: When Dr. Joel Forrester reacted, he realized that not knowing Stingray’s identity no longer bothered him, since Stingray’s help was so useful to the patients of the hospital. He doesn’t even care if Stingray runs around in a Batman costume helping people! So, when he said to Dr. Cornell quote:
Dr. Joel Forrester: ‘Well, that makes two of us.’
—
The comparison that he made to himself and Dr. Cornell made him realize that he is no longer bothered by not knowing who Stingray is.
—
It is now 2:19 PM EST for me.
That is it. Those are the 5 stories that may help you with your interpretation of those ‘3 ideas’ in Wishlist #1345, and for idea ‘Self’, that I will explain next week, unless I change my mind. I think that I am going to close this list. I changed my mind again. So, if you are there next Saturday, I’ll see you then.
