Salutations.

It is now 8:15PM EST for me.

I don’t expect the people that read this blog, especially the new readers, to know all of the ideas in this blog. So, I want to explain something as to how I make these ideas: In general, when I explain an idea, at the time that I invented it, I am actively using it. It is the main idea that I was using at the time. Eventually, that idea would lose it’s epiphany, and then I would invent another idea that may have a similar effect upon me.

I’m offering you ideas that, in the past, were for certain expectations, they were the best ideas I was using at the time. And for the sake of you finding them useful, maximizing it’s use for you, I would offer you these ideas in the order that I invented them. That, by intent, is for your benefit. And once you choose to take these ideas I am offering you, in relation to advice said, those ideas are yours. The list of ideas that I want to explain to you is getting longer. I think something like this has happened many times in the past. I would just start over and give you ideas that have more priority. However, now that I am more aware of the value of the ideas, I am trying to prioritize more giving you advice, even though such advice may take a while to explain, for your benefit.

Good news! The next ideas, ‘ ‘Guilty’ and ‘Oops’ ‘ is a ‘jump-in point’ for new readers. It is even the foundation for the new ideas that I am currently, actively using. It is possible that some of the new readers for this blog will just read the new ideas, so I try to accommodate such a situation.

As for Amazon.com orders, even though I haven’t done it yet, I’m thinking of finally buying a thermos so that I can buy coffee and bring it home by bus. I’ll probably buy the coffee thermos from Amazon.com, probably tomorrow. For example, for those of you who don’t own a thermos, are using public transportation, and don’t bring coffee in a bus. Why is it that you don’t purchase coffee and bring it with you while using public transportation, such as a bus, light rail, or train? I’m speculating that the answer is because the coffee cups that stores normally would sell coffee for is not made for public transportation.

When I was eating regularly in a restaurant that would sell to their customers coffee to go, people all the time would purchase coffee from them as they are going to work using public transportation. However, in my opinion, that is like being in ‘the heart of the storm’. If you were going to buy coffee ‘to go’ and bring it with you while using public transportation, you would probably purchase it locally. It is my belief, my opinion, that many people choose to not purchase coffee ‘to go’ simply because the coffee cups that hold the coffee, they believe that it’s not sturdy enough to transport it using public transportation.

For me personally, and I only plan to do this maybe twice a week, I would go to a restaurant that sells coffee, and fill the thermos with coffee as I am going home. I remember years ago that ‘Dunkin Donuts’ offered some sort of deal to fill a thermos with coffee. Since thermoses are cheap in my opinion, I’m just going to order one from Amazon.com, and as I get more experience using a thermos, I’ll upgrade my thermos use accordingly. It’s not like I’m buying a smartphone. I’m just buying a thermos for coffee.

So, if you are one of those people who doesn’t carry coffee while using public transportation because you don’t think the coffee cups are sturdy enough, then I recommend that, while you are going home and you want to drink restaurant coffee at home, then bring a thermos to work during days that you want to drink restaurant coffee at home. While you are going home using public transportation, you can get that thermos of yours mostly filled by restaurant coffee, and a thermos should be sturdy enough to transport restaurant made coffee to your home via public transportation.

Kid: ‘Why can’t you just order coffee using UberEats, DoorDash, GrubHub?’

—

I’ve never done that before. That sort of thing probably happened a lot during the more busy moments of the pandemic, but I personally haven’t ordered coffee yet to be delivered to me.(Just coffee from a coffee shop.) And since I don’t have that experience, I am only recommending what I am going to do.

It is now 8:49PM EST for me.

I am going to take a quick nap, and after that, I am going to look for a music video and trailer to recommend to you. The nap and the video and trailer preparations should all be done in 2 hours. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 11:14PM EST for me:

In case you want to know, my planned short nap ended up lasting to 10:00PM, so I started looking for a music video and trailer around 10:00PM, and I found both within the hour.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Two Things’ by Kelsea Ballerini. Here’s age verification from wikipedia.org:

Kelsea Nicole Ballerini[1]

Born September 12, 1993 (age 31)[2]
Mascot, Tennessee, U.S.

—

And here is a quote from a review from link www.broadwayworld.com:

‘Two Things’, a yearning song that explores the ways opposing emotions can create their own gravitational pull.

“I’ve learned it’s in the nuance of real love,” offers Kelsea Ballerini, “you can’t understand how incredibly angry or hurt someone can make you, while at the same time, the ability to forgive and move towards healing that can be present. And that is a reality that goes both ways, too. You can also make someone so angry or hurt, and they can find forgiveness and desire in the midst of it.”

Filmed on location in New York City and somewhere far more bucolic, the clip also balances urban sidewalk cafes, the curb outside the boutique Carlyle hotel, city traffic and the bed in a luxurious suite with giant trees, a back road, small towns and a humble, almost homey feeling bedroom. Ballerini ponders the rush of emotions as she hangs emotionally suspended in the in-between between the extremes. Directed by P. Tracy, whose work includes clips from Halsey, Katy Perry and Avril Lavigne + Yungblud, the diffused light and languid cuts create a visual mirror to the video’s and song’s own slow coming to clarity.

—

In my opinion, the music video has really good cinematography/special effects, and it’s also entertaining and relaxing to watch.

Here’s a quote from the lyrics:

Two things can be true
I’ll love and hate you
I’ll be your best and your worst day
I’ll be your blessing and curse, babe, yeah
Sometimes I’ll cut and ghost
But sometimes I’ll get too close
You’re nothing and everything I got to lose
Two things can be true
Two things can be true

To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘ballerini two things’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 121K views. It was published 3 days ago by publisher ‘Kelsea Ballerini’.

I found it by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘InMusic Official’, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘New Songs Of The Week (September 20, 2024) | New Music Friday’, published 3 days ago. A video clip of her music video starts about 1 minute and 1 second into the video clip collection.

—

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’. Here is the premise from wikipedia.org:

‘ Sonic, Tails and Knuckles face a powerful and mysterious new adversary, Shadow the Hedgehog. The trio forms an unlikely alliance with Dr. Robotnik in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet. ‘

—

I found it by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘TrailerSpot’, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘NEW MOVIE TRAILERS 2024 (Action) | 4K ULTRA HD’, published 4 days ago. The trailer starts 9 minutes and 53 seconds into that trailer selection.

If you watched the 1st 2 movies, then you’ll probably be interested in watching the 3rd one.

It is now 11:39PM EST for me.

I want to make some iced coffee before I start typing the advice, so I’ll start typing again in around 20 minutes. See you then.

It is now 12:22AM EST for me.

Guilty:

This is the 1st time that I’m aware of that I’m explaining idea ‘Guilty’. Initially, I had this illustration idea, but just before typing this idea in, I realized that the illustration idea was not what I was looking for. I’m using a quote from the previous list, Wishlist #1466, published 9/16/2024, to explain idea ‘Guilty’:

‘ Here’s how I conceptualize it: think of certain experienced instigation using a tennis court, but when you experience the instigation, the side of the tennis court that you are on is much longer than the side of the tennis court that the instigator is on. That longer side that you are on represents how the experienced instigation has affected your objectivity. For example, your sense of justification, to blame an instigator for what he/she has done to you. It could be very difficult contemplationally to get to the other side of that court. The other side of that court also represents a certain preferred use of objectivity, even though the instigator is also using it. ‘

—

Now, I only imagined idea ‘Guilty’, so I don’t know how accurate it would be for you to use it. Of course, if you choose to use idea ‘Guilty’, you could always take it apart, only use the parts of it that you would find useful.

Here’s the idea:

For example, there’s the idea ‘Caught red handed’, an idea that I explained in a previous list. When you imagine? an instigator or instigators talking to management and/or those in authority when they get into trouble, and you’ve been working in the same job for a few years or more, the conversations reveal to both the instigators and to management/those in authority that they are guilty of many things.

The 1st stage revealed by idea ‘Guilty’ is the euphoria, the exuberance that may be created when you think about the instigators getting caught for something they are guilty of doing, an identity of being guilty. I imagined actor Gary Cole, let’s say based on character Sheriff Lucas Buck from tv series ‘American Gothic'(1995-1998), or another tv show series he’s in, and he’s walking on the sidewalk. The tv show shows him walking towards the camera, and as you are watching him walk, he is thinking about an instigator at work expressing his/her guilt to management and/or those in authority, and he’s personally laughing and being entertained by it. He can’t help himself. Also, he’s not presenting this state of euphoria to anyone but himself. He is clearly being entertained by the experience.

—

It’s what may happen after that that idea ‘Guilty’ was made for. Using that tennis court quote, let’s say that, many times you would think about how instigators would express their guilt to management and those with authority. Now, since for many situations they are consistently expressing their guilt, what that can create is a susceptibility for you to not experience being guilty yourself. You may ask yourself the question ‘Why would I need to feel guilty?’ According to idea ‘Guilty’, certain experienced instigations may be designed to encourage you to be entertained to think of how instigators express their guilt, both from themselves and from others involved with certain forms of guilt, in order for you to be vulnerable when experiencing a sense of guilt related to yourself.

Here’s a ‘refurbished for advice’ illustration example from the movie ‘I.T.(2016)’ starring Pierce Brosnan as Mike Regan. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts about 48 minutes and 16 seconds into the movie. Refurbished for advice, it’s how the high school students reacted to expressing being guilty, and it’s how Kaitlyn Regan(Stefanie Scott) reacted to feeling guilty, even though she did nothing wrong. It’s something that Ed Porter(James Frecheville) was causing to happen to her using his I.T. skills. The illustration example, refurbished, shows in one scene the eagerness that many high school students showed when expressing being guilty, and that Kaitlyn Regan was caused to feel guilty, even though she did nothing wrong. The illustration example is obviously extreme, but if refurbished for advice, it has all the elements conveniently in one movie created scene.

The solution that I invented for idea ‘Guilty’, regarding feeling guilty, is to allow yourself to have a more manageable sense to feel guilty without actually being guilty, to practice feeling guilty without actually being guilty. There are many variations of feeling guilty. Don’t just use the variations of feeling guilty that experienced instigations encourage you to use. Allowing yourself to ‘reasonably’ feel guilty, based on the intent’s idea, will help compensate for all of that eager ‘being guilty’ that certain instigations may encourage you to experience.

Oops:

To offer you a reference with the use of the word ‘oops’, here’s a quote from the song “Oops! …I Did It Again” by Britney Spears. I don’t recall watching the music video, and I’m just recommending for this advice just to use the lyrics as a reference:

Oops!… I did it again
I played with your heart
Got lost in the game
Oh, baby, baby
Oops, you think I’m in love
That I’m sent from above
I’m not that innocent

—

Here’s the definition of the word ‘oops’ from www.dictionary.com:

(used to express mild dismay, chagrin, surprise, etc., as at one’s own mistake, a clumsy act, or social blunder.)

—

Here’s an illustration example for idea ‘Oops’: I only watched a few episodes of ‘Seinfeld(1989-1998)’, but I think that Elaine Benes(Julia Louis-Dreyfus) would do this unique dance in social situations that people would watch, and since it is a comedy tv show, that dance may encourage you to laugh at it. I didn’t watch all of her dance moments, but I think that for many of those dance moments, no one in those social situations would complain to her about them.

My point is that, using character Elaine Benes when she is dancing in those social situations as a reference, is that Americans in general create personal expectations that are not questioned, unimpeded/not criticized by others. Certain experienced instigations may cause an innocent person to make a mistake using such personally created expectations.

The solution/treatment that I created for such an experience is to allow yourself to have a more objective sense to make mistakes for such personal expectations. Let’s say, for example, an instigator causes a group of people to feel like they made a mistake. However, since all of those people have a more objective ability to experience mistakes from their personal use of expectations, the reactions from those people were more controlled, given the circumstance.

Here’s a speculation: If you are an adult working in the same job for a few years or more, have you noticed students from your grammar school and high school years intentionally presenting minor mistakes publicly, at least they are presenting such mistakes for you to notice? Is it possible that they are presenting such mistakes to make more manageable the experience of their own mistakes for their own personal expectations?

Not agree to address or discuss anything:

This is the foundation idea that both ideas ‘Guilty’ and ‘Oops’ by intent will improve upon. Here’s a refurbished for advice illustration reference for idea ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’. That episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that episode is 4.13 ‘The Stolen Earth’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Doctor Who(2008)’. That scene starts about 6 minutes and 33 seconds into the episode:

Ianto Jones(Gareth David-Lloyd): (laughing)

Captain Jack Harkness(John Barrowman): ‘Ianto. Time and place.’

Ianto: ‘Yeah, it’s funny, though.’

—

For example, you’re sitting in a public bus, and an instigator is mildly instigating you to cause you to react. Idea ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’ can help you decide if it’s even relevant to address something that you did not originally agree to address or discuss in the 1st place.

There’s also the situation of being able to walk away from a fight. In the ‘Back to the Future’ movies, variations of McFly(Michael J. Fox) would be encouraged to get into a fight. After watching the movie, you may imagine choosing to not get involved in such a fight, to choose to walk away from that fight. For very, very mild, minor situations that encourage you to interact with an altercation, you may also choose to not contemplationally address such notions introduced to you. Ideas ‘Guilty’ and ‘Oops’ may offer some extra depth, to help you to choose to not address and/or discuss such notions, even though such notions are made very obvious for you to think about. You feel something about it, but you choose to not use it, to not get involved, even to not address or discuss such notions to others and even to yourself.

You’re not trying to be an insensitive jerk. You’re not trying to just ignore people. For example, Jack Harkness said to Ianto:

Harkness: ”Ianto. Time and place.’

—

There’s also a ‘time and place’ for certain experiences based on the expectations that you have already chosen.

It is now 2:14AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now.

This coming Monday, 9/30/2024, I will explain more ideas that support idea ‘Not agree to address or discuss anything’, unless I change my mind. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
