Salutations.

It is now 6:47AM EST for me.

Since I am not working during Columbus Day, I have recently decided to add more ideas. I will start typing again around 8:40AM, about 2 hours from now. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 9:11AM EST for me.

Right now, I can’t think of anything to recommend to buy from Amazon.com. I mean, I probably could, but not off the top of my head, so to speak. In the last list, I recommended ‘zero sugar’ Dr. Pepper because, in my opinion, it was a deal from Amazon.com, but that was because I believe that many Americans are watching their calorie intake, and ‘zero sugar’ for sodas, I believe, also means ‘zero calories’. I can’t think of anything right now that is that easy to recommend from Amazon.com.

If you want to know, I feel kind of relaxed typing this in, since it’s not my regularly scheduled time to type in ideas.

I am going to look for that music video and trailer to recommend to you. I should have it ready within an hour and a half. So, if you are there by then, I’ll see you then.

It is now 10:54AM EST for me.

It took me longer than usual because I had difficulty finding a trailer.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Bigger Than Me’ by Gretta Ray.

Before I begin, let me explain this unique experience that I had watching ‘Bigger Than Me’. 1st, I want to say that I recommend that you use it for this advice. I like the music video. The ‘unique experience’ is that, based on my chosen context to explain, it was like watching a relaxing landscape. However, I’m supposed to be watching a music video. Instead, all I am able to ‘recall’ is watching a landscape, like watching mountains and trees and grass. The point I am trying to make is that there were elements in the music video that were so familiar to me, that I wasn’t able to recall anything else about it. Familiarity can be very good, very useful. All I would have to do is watch it again, and then I can explain it better.

I wasn’t able to find a review about the music video, but Gretta Ray is in wikipedia.org when I was checking for her age. Here is the quote:

Gretta Louise Ray[1] (born 22 May 1998) is an Australian singer-songwriter from Melbourne, Victoria.

—

So, as of now, she’s 25 years old.

And here is a quote from her lyrics:

This love hit without a warning
Took control and it has dawned on me that it’s all I need
This is bigger than me
This love will never be a makeshift state of mind
Held hostage, not an off switch that one could find you see
For this is bigger than me

—

I wasn’t able to find it from the usual sources in www.youtube.com, and when that happens, I would usually look using publisher ‘Vevo’ in www.youtube.com. That’s the last place that I would look usually, if I can’t find a music video from the other references. So, I selected ‘Vevo’ from www.youtube.com, scroll down to the bottom, ‘Featured Channels’, select ‘ Vevo Playlists’, scroll down to category ‘Australia and New Zealand Playlists’, select ‘View full playlist’ from category ‘Vevo Australia’, and the music video ‘Gretta Ray – Bigger Than Me’ is #278 out of 417 videos. It was published 2 years ago by publisher ‘Gretta Ray’, with 133K views.

I wasn’t going to watch it again, but I’ll quote a few scenes:

1 minute and 55 seconds, Gretta Ray is about to ‘synchronize dance’ with a group of women. It looks nice and relaxing.

About 3 minutes and 10 seconds into the music video, a man, as part of the music video special effects,(Don’t emulate. It could be dangerous.) the man looks like he is spraying a fire extinguisher on the dancers. I don’t even remember seeing this scene the 1st time I watched it!

Once the synchronized dancing with the groups of women dancers starts, it continues throughout the rest of the music video. I am a little shocked that I didn’t remember the man spraying the fire extinguisher on them while they were dancing, and they didn’t stop dancing when he was doing it! Those women just continued to dance.

When I looked at one of the dance scenes again, I noticed that a man was also in the dance group. (I still have no plans to see it again.)

To clarify to avoid ambiguity, I enjoyed watching the music video, and I recommend that you watch it for this advice.

The tv series trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Marvel Studios’ Loki Season 2’.

I also wasn’t able to find a trailer. I looked at the usual sources, but couldn’t find one. This one, I think, took the longest, which explained why I took me over an hour and a half to find and prepare them. I eventually searched in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘new trailers october 2023’. I used the ‘Filters’ on the upper right hand corner. For ‘UPLOAD DATE’, I selected ‘This month’. I scrolled down and selected ‘Top TV Shows Premiering in October 2023 | Rotten Tomatoes TV’. That was published 6 days ago. The trailer starts about 6 minutes and 22 seconds into that video collection. I wanted to look for more views, so I searched for phrase ‘loki season 2 trailer’ in www.youtube.com, and selected the trailer with 15M views, and was published by Marvel Entertainment 2 months ago.

Since I am already watching the series, I didn’t think of it as an option, but since I couldn’t find a trailer, I chose that. In my opinion, when I watch it, I actually feel like I am thinking. The reason I think is because of how Loki interacts with the TVA, especially with Mobius. Here is a quote from www.google.com found by searching for phrase ‘who is loki’s father marvel comics’:

Odin used magic to change Loki into an Asgardian and raised him as a son alongside Odin’s biological son, Thor.

—

Loki was created by Odin’s magic to be an Asgardian, which, in my opinion, explains a lot about why Loki chooses to be who he is, and this scenario encourages me to actually make an effort to think when watching the show. And, as a bonus, it’s a ‘Disney+’ show.

It is now 11:40AM EST for me.

I am going to prepare the reference for the idea that I’m about to explain to you. Since it’s just one reference, it should only take a few minutes.

It is now 11:53AM EST for me.

Disappointment:

I invented idea ‘Disappointment’ around 7:35AM EST earlier today. I was going to explain something else, but as I was watching episode 3.10 ‘Opening Night’ from tv series ‘Only Murders in the Building(2023)’ for the 1st time earlier today, I invented an idea I called ‘Disappointment’. As I was still watching that episode I think, that’s when I created the particulars that allowed me to type this idea in for you.

According to www.imdb.com, it aired Oct 3, 2023. I saved watching it for last. To me, it’s like watching episodes of ‘The Good Fight’. It’s not something I would just watch. To me, I have to put more effort into it when watching it. For example, I recently watched episodes of ‘Ahsoka’ from streaming service Disney+, and that was really easy and enjoyable to watch. But when I would watch episodes of ‘Only Murders in the Building’, it’s like some sort of volatile stock price. It has it’s ‘ups and downs’. Most of the time, to me, it’s boring, but then I would watch a scene, and all? of it feels entertaining to watch. And then it would start over and become boring again. I still would ‘fast forward’ through certain scenes. Overall, as proof, since I did make an effort to watch it, I did find it entertaining to watch, but I don’t think I’ll watch it again. However, I believe that there are a few scenes that I may choose to quote later for certain ideas, making it useful in another way. According to www.imdb.com, there will be a season 4, and I look forward to watching that when it comes out.

Here’s the definition of the word ‘disappoint’ that I am using for this idea from www.dictionary.com:

to defeat the fulfillment of (hopes, plans, etc.); thwart; frustrate:

to be disappointed in love.

As far as I know, the episode is only available from streaming service ‘Hulu’, and according to Hulu, the scene that I started to make the advice from starts about 52 seconds into the episode. That is when the character Donna DeMeo(Linda Emond) was in the theatre.

Here’s my explanation of ‘state of mind’ while I was making that idea. Keep in mind that it is a comedy tv show. They’re all actors playing a character, and none of it’s plot is real. The people are real, but they are portraying events that didn’t actually occur. For example, no crime actually occurred. They’re only portraying the crime for the tv show. The show is made for the general public to watch, and even though I don’t have proof, I’m ‘sure’ that all those that are watching are making their own interpretations for watching it, like watching a ‘soap opera’, I suppose.

All right. My ‘state of mind’ while making the idea ‘Disappointment’: I noticed using my personal evaluations of the show that the character Donna DeMeo is single. And so, since she is single, and I am single, and I do find her somewhat attractive, I imagined requesting to be in a relationship with her. In ‘mind imagining time’, she turned me down very quickly. As she was explaining to me why she chose to not be in a relationship with me, that was the moment when I was inventing idea ‘Disappointment’. I made the deduction that Americans in general in a lifestyle choice context choose to not actively interact with certain disappointments.

To explain that in this context, there is nothing wrong with that, but when you are at the other side of that fence, experiencing certain disappointment choices from their lifestyle choices, like I imagined I did, you may feel otherwise for a short moment. I thought about at least 2 types of people that integrate certain disappointment interactions as part of their lifestyle choices: 1)actors/actresses, and 2)instigation groups working with management for many jobs. For example, even though you subscribed to a lifestyle choice that involves not interacting with certain obvious forms of disappointments, if you watch tv and/or go to the movie theatres, actors and actresses in those forms of entertainment present a lot of forms of disappointments portrayed in an entertaining context. Also, even though I don’t know if they actually exist, instigation groups that work with management for many? jobs wreak of disappointment interaction: for example, they’re all there for being troublemakers in one form or another, but since they are all in a group interacting with management, they get to learn about each other, hopefully in a job conducive context. And when one of them gets into trouble, and management presents that issue to the rest of the group, they all vicariously? experience that in a disappointing context. It is my opinion that, when compared to innocent people, innocent workers who are not in that situations, members of instigation groups are way ‘ahead of the race’ as it relates to disappointment interaction.

However, even though I imagine factoring in those 2 types of lifestyles, most Americans, in my opinion, still choose to not interact with many forms of disappointments as it relates to their chosen lifestyles, like Donna DeMeo did when she turned me down, to not be in a relationship with me.

I imagined that, when she was in college, Donna DeMeo was open to interacting with certain forms of disappointments, with the encouragement of certain college students that she chose to interact with, but that only occurred while she attended college. Soon after she left college, she chose to stop using that mentality. It is my belief that most people tend to stop using such a mentality. It only exists while people are attending college. I don’t have proof of that. It’s just a belief of mine.

Here’s the idea that I invented, extrapolated by being turned down by Donna DeMeo: learn to actively interact with disappointments more. Of course, I’m not just talking about relationships that you would want to happen to you. Here is one illustration example of what I’m talking about, not the only example. It is in episode 7.22 ‘Homestead’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Voyager(2001)’ revealed in a conversation between Neelix(Ethan Phillips) and Lt. Tuvok(Tim Russ). To be blunt, refurbished for advice, it is how Lt. Tuvok is able to actively interact with Neelix’s disappointments, allowing Tuvok to give Neelix a positive, reasonable assessment of Neelix’s capabilities outside of Voyager. The episode is available streaming As a Prime Video Channel for ‘Paramount +’, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 30 minutes and 3 seconds into that episode. Here is a quote:

Neelix: ‘I couldn’t lead those people, Mr. Tuvok. I’m not a fighter… I’m just a cook… who sometimes imagines himself to be a diplomat.’

Lt. Tuvok: ‘On the contrary, Mr. Neelix… you are much more than that. You are perhaps the most resourceful individual I have ever known.’

Neelix: ‘I always thought you just tolerated me.’ (Understatement, if you watched certain episodes of Lt. Tuvok reacting to Neelix.)

Lt. Tuvok: ‘You do have some annoying habits. However, during your time on Voyager, you’ve developed many valuable skills– skills that would serve you well if you ever decided to assume a leadership role.’

Neelix: ‘You really think so?’

Lt. Tuvok: ‘Let me be clear. I’m not urging you to do anything. I am simply telling you that I believe that you are more than capable.’

—

Now, I’m not recommending that you turn yourself into a ‘crash dummy’, and allow yourself to be abused by interacting with certain disappointments. For example, if you are able to learn to just be more tolerant with just the existence of certain active forms of disappointments, you should find that to be a useful ability, and that is just the ‘tip of the iceburg’, so to speak. I’m going to type more ideas, so I may address this more in future ideas.

—

It is now 1:06PM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. This coming Thursday, I will finally start explaining idea ‘Do something’, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

Oh, I forgot to mention, to not take too seriously in the beginning how you compare yourself, your use of idea ‘Disappointment’, to those who seemingly use the idea better than yourself, such as actors/actresses and instigation groups. Evaluate your use of idea ‘Disappointment’ in the context of personal improvement. Don’t let such complaints unnecessary daunt/discourage you.

—

I just thought about this less than a minute ago/very recently, last minute impetus, so to speak, recommended to be used in the beginning of your use of idea ‘Disappointment’, if you choose to use it, and you don’t have to keep using it even if you already chose to use it. I recommend that you use, in relation to advice, watching the ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi | Teaser Trailer | Disney+’. I recommend that you use that inspirational background music, and that motivational speech, of course not on yourself, given during the trailer.(and I’ll make more ideas.) To watch the trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘obi wan kenobi trailer’, and one of the selections should be ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi | Teaser Trailer | Disney+’. It is published by publisher ‘Star Wars’, and it was published 1 year ago, with 19M views. Here is the motivational speech, with the music, starts 36 seconds into the trailer. Also, don’t use inapproprieities in the trailer:

The Grand Inquisitor(Rupert Friend): ‘The key… to hunting Jedi… is patience. Jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion… leaves a trail. The Jedi code is like an itch. He cannot help it!’

See you this coming Thursday.
