Salutations.

It is now 7:58PM EST for me.

Earlier today, I invented a ‘strategy idea’ that I contemplationally call ‘Reply encounter’, and in my opinion, for many expectations, it’s the best ‘strategy idea’ that I have ever invented. So, to improve your chances of finding it useful, I will try to explain a few ideas today with the intent to prepare you to use it when I explain it, and I will explain it in the next list, which is scheduled to be next Monday night, 5/20/2024. I’ll probably invent another ‘strategy idea’ by the time next Monday shows up, and I may explain that idea instead, or I may change my mind again. We’ll see what happens. As of now, I will at least explain the new strategy idea called ‘Reply encounter’ by next Monday.

I looked at my Amazon.com purchases, and recently I’ve been looking for candy to eat while typing in this blog. I’m still looking, but so far, I chose this, and it’s available to me now to eat:

Jolly Rancher World’s Best Flavored Fruit Hard Candy Bulk Candies in Jar Tasty Yummy Perfectly Delicious Time (Watermelon, 8oz)

—

I purchased that type because it comes in a container that I would choose to use. I only purchased 8 oz of it, and from Amazon.com, it’s about $10 with Prime shipping available. I like the flavor of watermelon, and because it’s a hard candy, it takes a few minutes to dissolve when I eat it. I’m still looking for different types of candies to eat while typing in this blog.

I purchased food from UberEats earlier today instead of purchasing it the day before, but because it’s morning for me when I do it, I have to choose restaurants/food establishments that serve food in the morning. I think that I will do that from now on.

I’m going to look for that music video and trailer to recommend to you. That may take up to an hour and a half for me to find and prepare them. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 10:01PM EST for me.

I took a break soon after I found and prepared the music video and trailer.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time and recommend for this advice is called ‘Legs (Keep Dancing)’ by Vanessa Williams. Here is a short quote from wikipedia.org about her:

‘ Vanessa Lynn Williams (born March 18, 1963) is an American singer, actress, model, producer, and dancer. She gained recognition as the first African-American woman to receive the Miss America title when she was crowned Miss America 1984… ‘

‘ …Thirty-two years later, Williams was offered a public apology during the Miss America 2016 pageant… ‘

—

And here is a comment from link www.digitaljournal.com about the song:

‘ This marks her first single and music video from her first pop album in 15 years.

The song is mid-tempo, upbeat, liberating, and a great deal of fun. Williams allows her sultry, crystalline vocals shine on this tune; moreover, it is an anthem of female empowerment.

It has a retro ’80s disco vibe to it, which adds to its overall appeal. The contemporary radio airwaves ought to add it on their heavy rotation. ‘

—

And here is a quote from the lyrics:

So I made up my mind
When the world is unkind
I don’t think about it
I just don’t think about it
So here’s what I do
I step in these shoes
And then I use these legs of mine

—

I found the music video by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘Hot Music Charts’, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘Top Songs of the Week | May 10, 2024’. A video clip from the music video ‘Legs’ starts about 6 minutes and 38 seconds into that video collection. It is #36 out of 100. It was published 4 days ago.

If you choose to watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘legs keep dancing’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 732K views. It was published 2 weeks ago by publisher ‘Vanessa Williams’.

In my opinion, in the music video, Vanessa Williams looks great for a 61 year old woman. I recommend that you start watching it about 8 seconds into the music video, just before the lyrics start.

—

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time and recommend for this advice is called ‘MAN AND WITCH’. Here is a quote from wikipedia.org:

‘ Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps (formerly titled Man & Witch)[2][3] is an upcoming British fantasy adventure comedy film written by Greg Steinbruner, directed by Michael Hines and starring Tami Stronach, Greg Steinbruner, Sean Astin, Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Jennifer Saunders, Michael Emerson, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Christopher Lloyd. ‘

—

And here is a quote from link letterboxd.com about the synopsis of the movie:

‘ Three Mysterious Curses, two lost souls… and one incredibly difficult dance. A lowly goatherd seeks out a reclusive witch to break the evil enchantment that has long kept him from taking a wife. When he completes the three impossible trials the witch prescribes, the man earns the hand of the legendary Princess, only heir of the Old King of the Cursed Kingdom. But when he arrives at the altar with a perfect fairytale ending hanging in the balance, both the goatherd and mysterious witch who helped transform him into the perfect eligible bachelor find that there is one enchantment they can’t figure out how to break… true love. ‘

—

I found the trailer by searching from my youtube.com homepage using the default ‘All’ selected. I kept scrolling down until I found it.

To watch the trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘man and witch’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 1.5M views. It was published 3 weeks ago by publisher ‘Man and Witch Film’.

Just to clarify, in my opinion, towards the end of the trailer, one of the animals said ‘We’re all going to die.’ They’re talking about whether or not ‘they’ will win. Just giving it reasonable context.

In my opinion, what I find entertaining about the trailer is that the witch seems to be giving the man tasks that he can actually accomplish, the 1st 2 tasks so far, even though when she talks about it, she thought those tasks would be impossible for that man to accomplish.

It is now 10:41PM EST for me.

I’m going to take a short nap, maybe eat something again, before I start typing.

Standards:(name created 1:47AM EST.)

It is now 12:21AM EST for me.

I took a nap, which lasted longer than I thought it would, and I ate some food again.

I’m not able to get the Ethernet back online(do I need it?), so I’m just using wifi to finish this idea. I think that I can finish explaining one idea, and then I’ll close this list. In case you want to know, I’m going to do my laundry as usual later today. Soon after I close this list, I will start preparing my laundry to go to the laundromat.

I will start with a quote from episode 5.3 ‘Jinaal’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery(2024)’. I’m getting the quote from streaming service paramountplus.com. That scene starts about 5 minutes and 46 seconds into the episode:

Michael Burnham(Sonequa Martin-Green): ‘We’re about to jump to Trill, and while I’m on the surface, I’ll ask for you to do one-on-ones with the crew.’

Rayner(Callum Keith Rennie): ‘No need. I’ve read their files.’

Michael Burnham: ‘I’d like you to connect with them in person.’

—

I’ll start with a scenario that may appeal to you, something that may allow the rest of this idea to be useful to you. Let’s say, based on your expertise, since kids may be reading this, let’s just imagine that you have a skill that allows you to create an answer that is both brief and concise for many situations that such a skill can be applied to. However, when you try to use those short solutions of yours to other situations, the people participating in those other situations want the solution to be used their way. That is why I offered you that 5.3 ‘Jinaal’ episode. Rayner, refurbished, represents a person that has short, concise solutions, but the people that he has chosen to work with want such solutions to be used their way. Michael Burnham is ordering Rayner to interact with other crewmembers, so that such solutions can be more conducive for them to use.

Another illustration example, refurbished with inapproprieities removed, is in episode 1.8 ‘The Missing Piece’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Foundation(2021)’. Brother Day(Lee Pace) according to when the quote was made, is about to embark on a journey with the hope that he will be more accepted. The episode is available streaming from Apple TV+. The explanation from Demerzel(Laura Birn) given to Brother Day starts about 10 minutes and 48 seconds into the episode:

Demerzel: ‘The Spiral is designed to push the body to the limits of it’s endurance… ‘

—

Brother Day was able to make the journey unharmed. If you choose to with inapproprieities removed, you may watch the rest of that journey.

—

Here’s how I created this idea: While I was using the streaming service Netflix, I have a movie on my Netflix list called ‘A Nice Girl Like You’ starring Lucy Hale as Lucy. I didn’t watch it yet, but while I was browsing Netflix, it showed me a scene from that movie, which allowed me to make this idea. I also purchased the streaming version of that movie from Amazon.com. I’ll use that to quote that scene. That scene starts 42 minutes and 14 seconds into that movie:

Jeff Thayer(Stephen Friedrich): ‘Did you meet someone?’

Lucy: ‘What? No. I was just wondering— ‘

Jeff Thayer: ‘You did. You’re seeing someone.’

Lucy: ‘Yeah, I am. I’m sorry. It’s very new- ‘

—

Anyway, with the mature themes removed, you may use the rest of that conversation in that Cafe.

All right. When I watched that scene, the preview showed by Netflix, I imagined Lucy also using certain concise, brief answers as if they were standards. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with what Lucy is doing with those standards, but here is how I made it into an idea: Soon after or while I was watching that scene, I imagined that Lucy and I were in a relationship. I thought of a recent idea that I typed in, when I was being taught by Marius the vampire, and Liam from ‘Earth: Final Conflict’ created his own standards/expectations of competition that he was always going to lose in. If you are always going to lose in certain competitions, one may create other standards to help make the experience more useful and more tolerant, like ‘personal best’ standards. With Lucy, the standards that she was using from her concise, brief answers, pretty much no one is able to qualify with those standards except herself. Later, within the past 12 hours or so, I upgraded the idea when I was talking to Lucy, and we are still in a relationship. It is now 1:29AM EST for me. I just upgraded the idea again. While in that Cafe, I asked Lucy if I could be allowed to participate with certain standards that she is using, even though I do not meet up to those standards. I asked her if I can illustrate to her how I, within reason, at least try to interact with her standards. When she agreed to see the illustration, I placed some salt from the salt shaker on the table, removed the top, poured some of that salt on one hand, and then slowly poured the salt from one hand to my other hand. The salt going from one hand to the other represent certain standards that she subscribes to that I already chose to participate with, even though I do not meet up with the expectations of those standards. I watched her watch the salt go from one of my hands to the other hand.

After I showed her that, I asked if she can allow me to participate with certain standards/answers that she subscribes to, even though I do not meet up to the expectations of those standards/answers. I pointed out that, since we are in a relationship, our relationship can be used as an excuse to do such a thing. Of course, she can incrementally do that, and with only selected standards, if she chooses to do that with me. She doesn’t have to do it at all. It’s something that she may choose to do. And, of course, I am already doing it from my perspective.

I believe that many American single women are using concise, brief solutions that pretty much only they qualify for as standards to interact with others. It is my belief that, if you allow others to interact/participate with those standards, even though they do not meet up to the expectations of such standards, then that can improve your ability to communicate with other people. In an imagined business context, don’t businesses and business employees always do something like that? Don’t they all have brief, concise solutions that they try to use in the way that their clients and other businesspeople prefer? Why is Rayner encouraged to have one-on-ones with the crew, and why is Brother Day, refurbished for advice, participating in The Spiral?

Of course, if you choose to use this idea, if you choose to take it and make it yours, in relation to advice said, you can change it all you want. It doesn’t have to be salt used as an illustration, for example. Instead of being in a relationship, it could be changed to involve just 2 co-workers talking. So to speak, ‘the sky’s the limit’.

For elaboration, I am already interacting and participating with many of Lucy’s standards, even though I already don’t meet up with the expectations of many of those standards. It is my belief in that story that, if she allows herself to do something similar, it can benefit her ability to communicate better with other people.

It is now 1:47AM EST for me.

As of now, I’m calling this idea ‘Standards’.

It is now 1:51AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. This coming Monday/next Tuesday, I will explain a strategy idea called ‘Reply encounter’, unless I change my mind again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

To be clear, when I typed in that I believe that businesspeople ‘do that all of the time’, that they try to use their short, concise answers ‘their way’, even though I believe that to be true, I only imagined it. It’s just given as advice in the context that I imagined it. I’m not presenting that as a definitive fact. I imagined it.
