Greetings.

It is now 6:45 AM EST for me.

I’m going to start looking for that music video and trailer around 8:30 AM EST today. Just letting you know in advance. And since you are here, I made a few ideas yesterday that I want to type in, and that means that the ‘Strength’ idea is yet again postponed for next Thursday. I’ll ‘fill you in’ with more details around 8:30 AM later today, which mean that I changed my mind again, and instead, I’ll type something in around 8:30 AM, and after that, I’ll start looking for that music video and trailer. So, if you are there later today, then I’ll see you then.

It is now 8:54 AM EST for me.

I started around 8:35 AM to prepare for another recommendation before I begin looking for that music video and trailer. I already have the idea in my head, so what I was also doing was preparing the sales pitch that I was going to type in. As always, you are not obligated to use my recommendation. It’s just something that I think may be useful to you.

So, here’s the sales pitch: if you haven’t done something like this before, then this may benefit you to do from time to time, like cleaning your web browser’s memory cache. Because of the pandemic, people in general spent more time at home, and one obvious result in my opinion is that they bought a lot of stuff from the internet, and a lot of that stuff they don’t need. For example, if I bought something from the internet, and it’s not what I expected, I don’t automatically return it, unless it’s expensive. But if you would buy something from the internet that’s expensive, I’m guessing that people tend to get that right the 1st time. I think it’s the stuff that’s relatively cheap that, if it happens, they may not get the right item. And since there’s nothing wrong with it, except for the fact that you don’t want it, you may just store it somewhere where you live, thinking that you’ll do something with it later. Well, I’m recommending that that time is now. I recommend that you give such items to charity. Just check your local charities using a search engine like www.google.com, call them up, and arrange a time that you can give those items to them. Personally, I just did that yesterday, and I feel great! More room, and I plan to do that again later. It’s a ‘win-win’ situation, the charity benefits, and you benefit. I also gave the person who picked it up some cash as well. When you call up that number, the person may re-direct you to another place, a house, and I just brought that stuff to that house. I’ve done it several times in the past already.

So, if you are considering giving that stuff to charity and you’re a kid, of course consult your parents first to check if it’s OK to give those things to charity. For the kids, this can be a useful experience to you, to help you manage what you keep where you live. I’m assuming you don’t want to become a hoarder. According to www.google.com searching for phrase ‘hoarder definition’, ‘A hoarding disorder is where someone acquires an excessive number of items and stores them in a chaotic manner, usually resulting in unmanageable amounts of clutter.’

This is what I recommend when using Uber transportation, which is also useful for people who don’t have cars available. After you found your local charity and arranged a meeting with that person, if you are using Uber for transportation, here’s useful information for ’round trip’: search in www.google.com for phrase ‘uber how to add multiple stops’, and here’s the instructions, after clicking the link:

Open the Uber app and tap the “Where To?” box
Tap the “+” to add additional stops
Tap “DONE” to continue

Stops will be made in the order they’re added. To remove a stop, tap the X next to it. To reorder stops, press and hold the “=” next to the stop you want to move, and drag it up or down to where you want to move it to.

When I did it yesterday, the Uber driver instructed me to select the option where you can add more stops. For ’round trip’, the extra stop will be where you live. You can do that to, but I think this way is better, since it’s done in advance. When you open your Uber app, select ‘Where to?’, and that automatically starts with your home address/where you are right now. At the upper right hand corner, select ‘-> One way ‘, then select the 2nd option, ‘With stops’ ‘Add up to five stops’, select ‘Done’, for the 2nd ‘Add a stop’ location, type in where you’ll meet that charity representative, and the 3rd ‘Add a stop’ location, the last stop, will be you home address again. That’s your home address, and 2 extra stops. Then select ‘Done’. Then select what type of Uber car, I usually select UberX, and then the ride is scheduled.

I’m assuming you can do something similar with Lyft, but I only tried Uber, since I have Uber cash, and it was for charity. I want the event to be more secure. Of course, with more experience, in a manner of speaking, anything can happen, especially when you don’t have a choice, for example, you can only use one type of car service.

When doing something like this for the 1st time, if you have a lot to donate, then for the 1st time, only donate what you are able to carry. For example, to put the stuff in, I used bags that you can purchase from supermarkets that are made to be re-used, and I was able to hold with my 2 hands several of those bags. I don’t have to go back and pick up more bags. Just do it once with what you can carry, and do it again later when you have the time. The important thing is to have the experience to do it once, and then you can build on that. When you get to the Uber car, you can still request the Uber driver to put those bags in the trunk.

And that’s it! More space where you live, and you should feel better for doing it. And to reiterate, if you’re kids, ask your parents 1st to make sure you can donate such items to charity. Avoid being a hoarder, avoid unnecessary clutter, and you’re good to go. Also, charities may also accept canned goods that you may have extra of, and you’re not going to use them. That option is for later. Right now, the focus is to get rid of stuff you purchased from the internet that you no longer need, and/or you bought the wrong item(s).

It is now 9:31 AM EST for me. I am going to look for that music video and trailer now. Soon after I prepare them, I’ll type again later today, so if you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 9:55 AM EST for me.

I want to add something about the trip when donating items to charity. Write down the address and phone number on a notepad, and bring that with you. Before you go, use www.google.com to find out where the place is, what streets are nearby. That way, as you approach your destination using the Uber app, you can see using the Uber app that you are approaching the right place. And when you arrive at that place, use that phone number before you leave the car, and let the representative know that you are there, so that the representative will be outside to greet you. Do this before you leave the car. I think it’s more convenient. For example, if you call while you are in the car, you can just get the stuff from the trunk and go right to the porch of that house, and the charity representative will already be there. If you don’t call before you leave the car, you may have to call that representative afterwards to let him/her know that you are outside, and that means you would have to put the bags down. In my opinion, I just think it’s more convenient to call that number while you are still in the Uber car.

OK. I’ll find that music video and trailer now. I’ll see you later today.

It is now 11:16 AM EST for me.

I think I considered at least 2 music videos before I finally selected this one. The music video that I watched earlier today for the 1st time and recommend for this advice is called ‘Radio’ by Sigala, MNEK. I’ll begin by quoting one of the reviews found by searching in www.google.com for phrase ‘sigala radio music video reviews’. I eventually selected www.promonews.tv . Here’s the quote:

‘ The video for Radio sees a girl lost in her own life, struggling to make connections at work and still unpacking from a move, seemingly new to town.

She unboxes a radio which mysteriously grows into a life-size man – with a radio for a head – and quickly falls in love. But things aren’t quite as they seem, and there’s more heartbreak to come before the happily ever after…

High-concept and executed to perfection, the video seamlessly blends live action and visual effects, tied together by heartfelt performances, a great location and a sense of unabashed fun. ‘

For the purpose of watching this music video for this advice, I recommend that you see that person that looks like he/she has a radio for a head to be not actually what he/she looks like, but rather a chosen perspective that woman chose to present to others. More and more people eventually chose to interact and accept that perspective, and as she learned to interact in a manner that is preferred by her, she chose to stop using that perspective. Near the end, in some supernatural/imagined context, that perspective that that woman chose to no longer use met another perspective, and chose to interact with that other perspective. The woman near the end of that music video sensed something about that unusual interaction, an interaction that confused her somewhat.

Here’s a quote from the lyrics to song ‘Radio’:

We said forever, so why would I leave?
The music sounds better when you’re with me
‘Cause it’s singing all the things I’ve been too scared to say
I think I know what it really means

I found the music video ‘Radio’ from www.youtube.com. Search for phrase and select publisher ‘Hot Music Charts’, select ‘VIDEOS’, select ‘Top Songs of the Week | April 21, 2023’. A video clip from music video ‘Radio’ begins about 3 minutes and 2 seconds into that video collection. It is #70 out of 100.

To watch music video ‘Radio’, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘sigala radio’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 1.3M views. It was published 3 months ago.

The tv series trailer that I watched for the 1st time and recommend for this advice is called ‘American Born Chinese’. Here is a quote from wikipedia.org about the tv series:

‘ American Born Chinese is an upcoming action comedy television series based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name by Gene Luen Yang. Filming began in Los Angeles in February 2022.

Jin Wang, a high schooler struggling with his school and home life, meets the new foreign exchange student at his school who’s from Taiwan. However, a sequence of events lead him to become involved in a battle between gods of Chinese mythology.

It is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on May 24, 2023.

According to wikipedia.org, all 8 episodes of season 1 will be made available the same day, May 24, 2023.

I found it in www.youtube.com. Select publisher ‘Rapid Trailer’, select ‘VIDEOS’, select ‘NEW MOVIE TRAILERS (2023)’, and the tv series trailer ‘American Born Chinese’ starts 19 minutes and 1 second into the trailer collection.

To watch the trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘american born chinese trailer’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 5.2M views! It was published 6 days ago by publisher ‘Disney Plus’.

As of now, there are 1,141 comments. Here is a quote from one of those comments:

‘ As someone who read the book, I hope this adaptation is good since I feel more people should read it. ‘

It is now 11:43 AM EST for me.

I am going to set up the 1st idea now. This should only take a few minutes.

It is now 11:53 AM EST for me.

I created this idea this past December, 2022, but because of the priority of the previous ideas, I chose to not type it in, not until today. The reason is because of idea ‘Strength’. I want to explain this idea before I explain idea ‘Strength’. Even though I have changed my mind many times, I will explain idea ‘Strength’ next Thursday, unless I change my mind once again. I created this idea using music video ‘Spotlight’ by Jessie Ware. To watch that music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘jessie ware spotlight’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 6.3M views. It was published 3 years ago by publisher ‘Jessie Ware’.

At the time in the month of December 2022, I was thinking of what happens to the college students that remain in their dorms during Christmas break. I thought of the movie ‘Me Before You(2016)’ starring Emilia Clarke as Lou Clark, and Jenna Coleman as Katrina Clark. I remember a scene in that movie when they were both talking, and Katrina was looking forward to leaving home and going to college. So, to her, and I’m only imagining it, staying in the college dorm during Christmas break is something that she would want to do.

I imagined the women who chose to stay in the dorms, they would be thinking about the students both men and women enjoying themselves while back at home spending time with their families. However, the men compared to the women don’t seem as mentally occupied about such things. To help explain that, I’ll explain a scene from tv series ‘Star Trek: Voyager’. I watched that scene several times in the past, but after that, I wasn’t able to find it again. The scene involves Seven of Nine(Jeri Ryan) and Lt. Tom Paris(Robert Duncan McNeill) talking to each other while both using exercise treadmills. Seven noticed that Tom Paris was trying to keep up with her pace of using the treadmill, and since Seven is Borg, stronger in general then people, Klingons, etc., for the sake of the safety of Tom Paris, Seven stopped using her treadmill.

Based on that example, one may imagine that women, all things being equal, are more obviously accommodating than men are. In that ‘Star Trek’ example, I don’t even think Tom Paris knew what he was doing! He wanted to ‘keep up’ with her, he didn’t think that keeping up with her would harm him, and so Seven chose to accomodate Tom Paris more by stopping her treadmill exercise.

What does this have to do with Christmas break for college students? I believe that for the men college students that chose to stay during Christmas break, they may experience contemplations that are not as accommodating, compared to the women who chose to stay, since the women are more open to think of such things. I’m not saying that such men are doing something wrong, but I believe I can help them with that experience.

Here is a quote from wikipedia.org selecting article using phrase ‘doctor who series 14 2024’:

‘ The fourteenth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who is set to premiere in 2024.

On 8 May 2022, Ncuti Gatwa was announced as Jodie Whittaker’s successor as the programme’s lead…

The series will be released internationally on Disney+…

It is now 12:31 PM EST for me.

On a separate context, I’ve been experiencing this problem where a few of the hairs from underneath one of my arms would get stuck somehow on my laptop, creating a sort of stinging annoyance. A few minutes ago, another incident occurred, and it felt really painful to me. So, what I did was shave those hairs off. It’s just a certain cluster of hairs from underneath one of my arms, the part that makes contact with the laptop. That problem shouldn’t happen for a while, and if it does, I’ll just shave those hairs off again.

Anyway, I’ve been keeping track of ‘Doctor Who’ for a while now using the ‘Google News’ app for my smartphone. I selected from ‘Topics’ topic ‘Doctor Who’ and from saved searches I created search ‘doctor who tv series may 2023’. So, when May shows up, I’ll delete that search and create search ‘doctor who tv series june 2023’. That saved search seems to work. Anyway, here’s a quote from wikipedia.org using search ‘doctor who series 14 2024’:

‘ On 8 May 2022, Ncuti Gatwa was announced as Jodie Whittaker’s successor as the programme’s lead… ‘

That means that people in general are going to be waiting for series 14 of ‘Doctor Who’ for over a year and a half! In the meantime, I’ll be reading articles for ‘Doctor Who’ using the ‘Google News’ app. Here’s my point: I’m using an imagined Doctor Who portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa and an imagined Tom Wachowski portrayed by James Marsden from the ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2’ movies to dance and sing in a scene from the music video ‘Spotlight’. The reason is because there’s a scene in that music video that will help the men access certain aspects of their experiences that would benefit from some active interaction. So, to prepare you to imagine it if you choose to, that scene in the music video ‘Spotlight’ starts 1 minute and 32 seconds into the music video, when singer Jessie Ware is looking at the woman walking at the end of the train cart. The scene when you imagine Ncuti Gatwa and James Marsden dance starts 1 minute and 43 seconds into the music video. Here’s a quote from the lyrics to song ‘Spotlight’ that they are singing:

I need a moment, just a moment
Blow me a kiss, I catch your breath
Give me a moment so devoted

If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this our time in the spotlight
Why

If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay
In the moonlight, this our time in the spotlight
Why

Can’t keep the sun from rising
Can’t keep the heart from beating
Can’t stop me from believing

Can’t keep the sun from rising
Can’t keep the air we’re breathing

I chose Ncuti Gatwa because he’s the next Doctor Who who has over 20+ brains to work with, and I chose James Marsden because he seems to be compatible for it. They’re both wearing suits dancing, and they’re singing those lyrics. Imagine them individually dancing and singing to that song as they walk through the train corridor. 1 minute 56 seconds into the music video, that’s when Jessie Ware enters a train room where some people are moving. Each person represents an aspect of your perspective that may benefit from some active interaction, and that’s what is happening. You’re allowing your imagination to sense that various aspects of your perspective are allowed to have some sort of active interaction, and those people movie helps you have that active interaction.

Well, I tried to explain it.

It is now 1:02PM EST for me.

Here’s one of the ideas that I created yesterday, 4/27/2023. According to category ‘History’ from my signed-in youtube homepage, I watched music video ‘Circle In The Sand’ by Belinda Carlisle yesterday, 4/27/2023. That’s when I created this idea. I created it while watching the music video ‘Circle In The Sand’. In Wishlist #1374, I offered you idea ‘Perspectives for women that they do not want to present to men’. Using that idea, I created the idea that you can create a place/perspective for women in advance, both specifically and generalistically, that they may use if you allow them to use it. That place/perspective may never be used at all, but you can still choose to create such a place/perspective anyway. So, if you choose to watch the music video and Belinda Carlisle is singing the lyrics to ‘Circle In The Sand’, let’s say a computer programmer created a computer program that, when a woman meets the expectations of that program, the result generated by that computer program presents the song ‘Circle In The Sand’ as that result. So, for women individually and generalistically, watching Belinda Carlisle perfrom in the music video ‘Circle In The Sand’ represents women meeting those expectations, and that place/perspective is acknowledged to be created or to be in the process of being created by that music video. It’s up to you what the particulars are. I like the imagined acoustics of the music video representing a place/perspective for women to use, even though it may never be used. Here is a quote from the song ‘Circle In The Sand’ that reminds me of those acoustics:

Baby can you hear me?
Can you hear me calling?

It is my belief that people in general are always preparing places/perspectives for other people to use all of the time. I just don’t want to muddle/discourage the focus of the idea with another example.

[ It is now 1:46 PM EST for me. I forgot to mention that, when you contemplationally recall the song and music video ‘Circle In The Sand’, keep in mind that it’s the women that are singing that song, let’s say for one example one particular woman that you have chosen to sing it, even though such a place/perspective doesn’t actually exist in the context that she is actually using it. You’re using it, for example, in case you choose to offer such a place to her. The sky’s the limit, so to speak. It’s up to you how you use it, but for it’s initial appearance, she is not actually using it yet. You’re only imagining her using it. ]

A woman’s perspective: Another woman’s perspective:

It is now 1:22 PM EST for me.

Idea ‘A woman’s perspective’, an idea I think I also invented yesterday, illustrates the usefulness of adding a woman’s perspective to certain project participations. People make due with what’s available, of course, but when thinking of certain participations, it may be useful to you to add a woman’s perspective, and if you are a woman, to add another woman’s perspective, to those participations. The main story is based on the character Capt. Kathryn Janeway portrayed by Kate Mulgrew from tv series ‘Star Trek: Voyager’. In the story, she’s just Kathryn Janeway. ‘Star Trek’ is just a tv show. However, it’s about an interaction that involves virtual reality. It’s part virtual reality. Here’s the story: a man visits a place 10 years ago partly created by virtual reality. While there, he meets Kathryn Janeway, who greets him. She offers him a flower pot.(I think I got the idea of ‘flower pot’ from the beginning of movie ‘Ghosted(2023)’ starring Chris Evans as Cole Turner. Cole was selling flowers and flowers in flower pots to customers. In this case, Kathryn Janeway was offering a virtual reality flower pot to that man. So, when he leaves that interaction, it’s not like he can take the flower pot with him to reality. Recently, within this month of April, that man visited that virtual place again, and surprisingly he men Kathryn Janeway again. She arrived a little later. They greeted each other normally, and she noticed during his visit that the flower pot she gave him wasn’t there. As soon as he left, she talked to the current coordinator who was portrayed by Robert Picardo, also based on ‘Star Trek: Voyager’. She asked him why the flower pot that she gave him was not there when he chose to visit again.

His response isn’t important. The point is that, thanks to a woman’s perspective, she noticed that the flower pot wasn’t there when the man chose to visit again. In Janeway’s mind, that man was deprived of how a flower pot could have thrived since he last visited. Again, another experience/benefit not revealed to a man because a woman’s perspective was not provided well enough.

So, when you are making certain idea, interacting with certain participations, I just thought that idea ‘A woman’s perspective’ may be useful for you to consider.

It is now 1:38 PM EST for me.

I’m going to close this list now. There’s this other story that, in my opinion, is kind of grandiose, but I don’t want to give you the ‘sloppy’ version of it, just to be brief. And based on experience, I don’t want to spend more time than I should on this blog. Next Thursday, I will finally explain idea ‘Strength’. It is my hope that these ideas will help you be more prepared to learn idea ‘Strength’. So, if you are there next Thursday, I’ll see you then.
