Salutations.

It is now 8:47PM EST for me.

Synchronize:

I’ve been typing in this blog for a certain amount of years now. One of the things I would imagine, before, during, and after typing in an idea, is how kids would use the advice.

‘?’

It’s just advice to me. There are kids with many different types of schools of thought that could be reading this blog. Recently, I imagined something that may be useful to the kids to use when relating to making ideas. I call this idea ‘Synchronize’. As always, the kids are not obligated to use this idea. To use it, just imagine that, after you read and decide to use one or more of these ideas, you do what the people shown in that illustration do, the people indicated, and do it in relation to advice. You’re just imagining doing the important stuff, the reasoning/thinking stuff, for example. The illustration example is episode 2.6 ‘Thor’s Chariot’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Stargate SG-1(1998)’. The episode is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 34 minutes and 32 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Captain Samantha Carter(Amanda Tapping): ‘Oh, yes, it does. 3.14159. It’s PI.

—

about 34 minutes and 35 seconds into the episode:

Dr. Daniel Jackson(Michael Shanks): ‘We have to depict it somehow.’

—

You can watch more of that scene, in relation to advice. So, basically, when you decide to use an idea, so to speak, just imagine that you are doing what Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson are doing in that scene. In my opinion, that imagined ‘synchronization’ may be useful to you. Again, you are not obligated to do so. It’s just an idea.

—

It is now 9:08PM EST for me.

In my opinion, that idea that I offered you in Wishlist #1453, that ‘Self damage’ idea, and I don’t want to add to that explanation, I believe that it may have benefitted many of you, and of course that’s what I’m trying to do, I believe that I deserve a break, a break from giving you ‘strategy ideas’. This is just an excuse to offer you a ‘story idea’ instead of yet another ‘strategy idea’. There is this ‘story idea’ that I am actively currently using. When I think of it, it’s relaxing for me to think about, and so I want to type that ‘story idea’ in. After that, next Monday night, I may type another ‘strategy idea’. I haven’t decided yet.

I’m presenting the ‘strategy’ idea 1)as a tribute to tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, since it ended after season 5, and 2)the ‘strategy idea’ may be useful to you. It may not be as direct as certain ideas that you may have already read in this blog, but the usefulness may still be there for you.

I’m not obligating you to watch all the episodes of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ just to use this idea, if you haven’t watched them already. Here are the 2 illustration references that I am using for this ‘strategy idea’.(I wasn’t able to purchase any streaming season 5 episodes from Amazon.com now. Seasons 1-4 are available for purchase streaming, but not season 5 yet. My subscription to streaming service Paramount+ is still available, so I’m using that as a reference:) 1)it’s near the end of episode 5.10 ‘Life, Itself’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery(2024)’, 1 hour, 13 minutes, and 12 seconds into the episode, when Cleveland Booker(David Ajala) said quote:

Cleveland Booker: ‘Hold up. No hugging without me.’

—

2) a scene in episode 5.4 ‘Face the Strange’ from tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery(2024)’. According to Paramount+, that scene starts 34 minutes and 23 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Burnham from past(Sonequa Martin-Green): ‘I don’t know if you’re a shapeshifter or what. But seeing the uniform, you must think I’m an idiot if you expect me to believe that a mutineer could ever end up with captain’s pips.’

Burnham: ‘No, no, no, no, no. Burnham, you don’t want to do that. You don’t want to do that.’

Burnham from past: ‘Yeah. I really do.’

—

Since I am a single man, to explain the idea, in the 1st illustration reference:

Cleveland Booker: ‘Hold up. No hugging without me.’

—

Let’s say that a lot of people watch ‘Star Trek’, such as the tv shows and the movies. I speculate that it’s possible that a lot of the single men who watched that ‘Star Trek’ episode, especially that scene, that they may later imagine being married to Burnham(Sonequa Martin-Green), like Cleveland Booker(David Ajala) is married to her. So, using that, I made a story where I chose an avatar to be Benjamin Sisko(Avery Brooks) from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ that also represents me to be married to a clone of Burnham created by the witch Thessaly. Sisko, so to speak, is half wormhole alien. Here is the quote, found in www.google.com for phrase ‘star trek voyager benjamin sisko mother wormhole alien’:

‘ Sisko was born in 2332 in New Orleans, North America, Earth, to Joseph and Sarah Sisko. Sarah, however, had been possessed by a Prophet – a non-linear alien species which lived in the then-undiscovered Bajoran wormhole – in order to ensure the birth of Benjamin, who would later become the Emissary of the Prophets. ‘

For more information about Thessaly, search in www.google.com for phrase ‘sandman thessaly’ and select link ‘sandman.fandom.com/wiki/Thessaly’. Here is a partial quote:

‘ Thessaly is a witch from Ancient Thessaly. As a witch she utilizes any form of magic including spells, charms, and powers from all countries and belief systems, ignoring distinctions at her level of ability. She is highly intelligent…

Over the centuries, she has made bargains with numerous entities, extending her lifespan in exchange for her services. ‘

—

If you watched tv series ‘The Sandman’ which premiered Aug 5, 2022, Thessaly was in a relationship with Dream, portrayed by Tom Sturridge.

As for the 2nd reference:

Burnham: ‘No, no, no, no, no. Burnham, you don’t want to do that. You don’t want to do that.’

Burnham from past: ‘Yeah. I really do.’

—

Burnham was about to fight a younger Burnham from the past. I’m assuming that, if Burnham is successful with her mission, as she was successful, that that incident would no longer exist. It would exist for Burnham, but that interaction with her past self will no longer exist, the reason why she does not remember it happening in her past. It’s just an assumption, since I am not a Trekkie. The reason why I’m recommending that illustration reference to be watched is to counteract any ‘crazy’ that you may encounter while reading the story I’m about to type in.

—

I didn’t find any recent purchases that I made in Amazon.com worth recommending in this blog right now.

So, if you want to read that ‘story idea’, I typed something in that gives you an idea of what I’m about to type in. I’m not obligating you to read this ‘story idea’.

It is now 11:27PM EST for me.

I am going to look for that music video and trailer to recommend to you. That may take about an hour and a half to select and prepare. If you are there in an hour and a half, I’ll see you then.

—

It is now 12:37AM EST for me.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time about an hour or so ago and recommend for this advice is called ‘Dive’ by Olivia Dean. Here’s a partial quote from a review from link www.voice-online.co.uk about the music video:

‘ In the video for ‘Dive‘, with its warm hues that boost the gloomy weather, director Candice Lo beautifully captures a sense of effortless joy that comes with falling in love.

Dean enthused: “I wanted this video to feel simple and free.”

“Sometimes the city can be quite claustrophobic and I just want to run away to the beach.

“The contrast between the two scenes I think is symbolic of the rush of falling in love. You just wanna let go and run in. ‘

—

And here is a quote from the lyrics ‘Dive’:

It’s crazy
Lately
You just understand my feelings
Make me
See I’m capable and fine
And feeling beautified tonight
I’m ready to dive

I found it by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘Vevo’, scroll down to ‘Featured Channels’, select ‘VevoSpecials’, scroll down to the bottom and select ‘Playlists For Your MOOD – Australia & New Zealand’, scroll down and select ‘Good Vibes Vevo Playlist’. ‘Dive’ by Olivia Dean is #25 out of 57 videos.

To watch the music video, search in ww.youtube.com for phrase ‘olivia dean dive’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 2.4M views. It was published 1 year ago by publisher ‘Olivie Dean’.

I recommend that you start watching the music video 7 seconds in the beginning, when the lyrics start. There are at least 2 scenes when the singer Olivia Dean, while she is drinking coffee, the lyrics would continue, but she is momentarily not singing.

—

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘My Spy The Eternal City – Official Trailer’. I found it by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘KinoCheck.com’, select ‘Videos’, scroll down and select ‘THE BEST UPCOMING MOVIES 2024 (Trailers)’, published 3 days ago. The trailer starts 33 minutes and 22 seconds into the trailer collection. I didn’t watch it from there. Instead, I searched in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘my spy the eternal city trailer’, and selected ‘My Spy The Eternal City – Official Trailer | Prime Video’, published by Prime Video 12 days ago with 5.8M views.

I recommend watching the trailer because it uses certain forms of embarrassment as humor in the trailer. I’m assuming that there’s going to be a lot more moments of embarrassment in the movie itself. There’s even a scene in the trailer when one of the main characters verbally identifies an embarrassing experience.

It is now 1:12AM EST for me.

Finally! I’m going to give myself a time allowance of 3:00AM EST to finish this idea, so I have less than 2 hours to finish this story.

There is a scene in an episode of ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ when Sisko(Avery Brooks) was talking with Martok(J.G. Hertzler) while walking the halls of Deep Space Nine. I don’t remember what episode that was. If you don’t know who I am, what I look like, you can use the avatar Benjamin Sisko to represent me in the story. In the story, I imagined talking to the witch Thessaly in a similar way, using a lot of ‘chatty cathy’ when talking to her. When I imagine talking to her, she doesn’t sound like anyone that I can imagine. Conversations with her seem fluidic. I assumed it’s because she’s a witch that it’s like that way. As a composite of both myself and Sisko, during one of our conversations, Thessaly mentioned to me that she cloned me. Later, let’s say less than a week ago, I mentioned something about that incident. I addressed it, and I interpreted her non-response as an indication that it was ‘something else’, and not her actually making a clone of me. After I left, for a short moment, the ‘story’ shows Thessaly talking to the clone of me. Although I’m not supposed to know this directly, for the sake of telling this story, one of the reasons she made a clone of me is because of the way we talk to each other. I’m useful to her, but my use of reservations makes her want more from me, and that’s part of her plan to get more from me. She’s playing some sort of witch ‘long game’, but it’s still the beginnings of our business? relationship, and many things can still change from her use of logic and resources. Again, not supposed to know that.

Several months after she made a clone of me, I made a request from her. Several weeks ago, I watched the end of season 5 of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, and I went to Thessaly and made a request. I requested that she would make a clone based on the character Burnham from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery’. She would love me, be in love with me, and everything in between. Thessaly asked what I would give her in return, and I said that, of course, I would continue to have reasonable co-ventures with her, ‘free of charge’ compared to how it’s usually done by many businesses. Nothing would change. While wearing her glasses, she looked cross with me.(According to idioms.thefreedictionary.com,

cross with (someone)
Angry or annoyed with someone.
Of course I’m cross with you—you lied to me!
Why is she cross with me? I had nothing to do with the prank!

—

Fast forward a little time, and Thessaly introduces me to the clone Burnham. Just like the tv series, she has all of the details of her life as indicated by the tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery’. She looks just like the character Burnham, not the last episode, but the younger Burnham, with the exception that she loves me, is in love with me, and everything in between. What Thessaly did not tell her yet is that she is a clone of a fictitious character from a sci-fi tv series, and the reason she did not, the reason she told me, was that she wants me to try to do it. During the 1st month, she managed to live alone in her apartment, which is not a surprise to me, since she is Burnham, and I tried without doing anything inappropriate to her, I tried to communicate with her personally. I even talked to Thessaly a few times during that month, and in one of those conversations, she told me to talk to her ‘the way that you would talk to me’. That caused my eyelids to open up a little more, a little surprised and scared as to what I thought that could mean. After a month of all that attention I tried to give to Burnham, she finally agreed to interact with me in a more personal level, agreeing to let me talk to her in her apartment, and to participate in other events in the city while she was trying to make sense out of it all.

While I was watching episode 5.2 ‘Under the Twin Moons’ from sci-fi tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, around that scene when Saru(Doug Jones) and Burnham was evaluating a rock for clues, around 37 minutes and 23 seconds into the episode, I made a story, about how certain companies/corporations would allow their employees to interact with projects with real problems, not problems created with the solutions already known. But by doing so, if they get into certain problems trying to resolve those problems, then there are groups of people that I would call ‘The Enterprise crew’ who work as a team to resolve those problems. The most effective crew are the main characters of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’, for something to imagine, the usual Picard, Data, Riker, Deanna, etc. Burnham found such a company, applied for it, and was allowed to select her ‘Enterprise crew’. Keeping her job was simple to her, of course, basic results, and she made sure that her and her team kept a low profile, just do the basic assignments with a little extra. She of course presented another identity to them. What was most amazing about her was not her presentation of intelligence. She made sure she didn’t overdo that. It was her striking resemblance to Burnham from the ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ tv series. One example happened one day when her chosen crew, after dressing themselves as the Starfleet crew from tv series ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, she walked in to their work area, and her entire crew were in on that presentation. It was meant to be humorous and respectful. She didn’t present anger or resentment for her crew doing that, but she did punch all of their arms once for doing that.

I can’t find the streaming version of the movie ‘The Business of Strangers’, but there’s a scene when one of her(Julie Styron) bosses told her that she got promoted, and that he was going to retire, to do something else. In the context of the story, I imagined that I no longer had to choose to type in this blog. I believe that I find this blog to be useful to me, but being in a relationship with Burnham allows me to do other things, like the things that I leave open to interpret, what that retired CEO will be doing from the movie ‘The Business of Strangers’. My relationship/eventual marriage with Burnham allows me to do other things, that I imagined.

There is a scene in episode 3.6 ‘Twice in a Lifetime’ from sci-fi tv series ‘The Orville(2022)’ that will be used to describe the last part of this story. I bought the streaming episode from Google Play, since it’s not available from Amazon.com. The scene starts 36 minutes and 46 seconds into the episode. Here is the quote:

Laura Huggins(Leighton Meester): ‘… and so I thought, hey, not my usual type, but… (laughs) what the heck(edited), give it a shot.’

—

In one of my visits to the physical part of her job, a few of her crewmembers were trying to teach me to do a few things in the area. She greeted me there while I was moving around her work area learning. I asked her ‘As you were looking at me learn and work without the expertise of the others, if you created disappointments to perceive me, what do you do with them? The Burnham clone then said to me ‘I love you!’ and proceeded to hug and kiss me. That caused me to laugh for a short moment.(You may imagine Benjamin Sisko from ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ laughing for a short moment.

To understand that moment, here’s ‘The Orville’ quote again:

Laura Huggins(Leighton Meester): ‘… and so I thought, hey, not my usual type, but… (laughs) what the heck(edited), give it a shot.’

—

Laura learned to accept many of the disappointments that Gordon Malloy(Scott Grimes) presented in the beginnings of their relationship. For example, if Gordon Malloy would present something that may be bothersome to some people, if Laura would perceive that, she already accepted that part of his personality as something that she accepts as a part of him. That is why, in that ‘Orville’ scene, they are able to joke about certain disappointing aspects that Gordon Malloy may present to Laura. When Burnham said to Benjamin Sisko that ‘I love you!’, in the 1st few months after she was introduced to Benjamin Sisko, she must have, created disappointing evaluations of Benjamin Sisko that, in a manner of speaking, were a ‘mile long’, but once she learned to accept and use the ‘artificial fact’ that she loves and is in love with Benjamin Sisko, she learned to accept many of those disappointments, changed how she perceived those disappointments, and of course she also had help from Thessaly.

In the future, me and Burnham would sometimes work together with Thessaly on certain projects.

It is now 2:55AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. This coming Monday night, I will offer several ‘strategy ideas’. I made a few new ones already, and based on past performance, I will probably make new strategy ideas as this coming Monday night approaches, unless I change my mind. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
