Salutations.

It is now 12:02AM EST for me.

I just checked my recent Amazon.com purchases, and there’s nothing for me to choose to recommend for this blog.

I am still going to explain idea ‘Use address’ and it’s variations, but in order for me to continue with the ‘strategy ideas’ part, I believe it’s important to give to give you a reason to even consider using such ‘strategy ideas’. So, to ‘sell the idea’ to you, I have decided to give you what I imagine to be one of the most popular reasons, an idea that I call ‘Blame’. I’ll explain that idea incrementally in this list, and in the next list, I’ll continue with the mechanics of the ‘strategy ideas’ that I am currently using, an impression of it.

I was going to start typing in this list ‘on time’, but because I chose to make a retraction in the previous list, I started late.

In case you want to know, when I went grocery shopping early yesterday morning, I purchased steak and some meat to cook, but because I still have leftovers from the order I made from Domino’s pizza, I’ll see if I can still eat those leftovers, and then after I finish typing in this blog, I will then cook that steak and extra meat. I’ll eat it after I type in this blog, instead of eating it before.

Before I continue, I want to say something about how I’m giving advice in this blog. For example, the use of consistency. I just decided, at 12:26AM EST, to call this explanation ‘Consistency’. Here’s the definition of the word ‘consistency’ that I am using from www.dictionary.com:

steadfast adherence to the same principles, course, form, etc.:
There is consistency in his pattern of behavior.

And I am using 2 illustration examples from the movie ‘Election(1999)’ starring Reese Witherspoon as Tracy Flick, and Matthew Broderick as Jim McAllister. If you choose to use these 2 illustration examples, keep in mind that the movie ‘Election’ is a teen comedy and a dark comedy, and I’m refurbishing those 2 illustration examples to be used for idea ‘Consistency’. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 15 minutes and 3 seconds into the movie:

Tracy Flick: ‘I mean, anyone who’s stuck in the same little room, wearing the same stupid clothes, same exact same things year after year for his whole life… ‘

5 minutes and 39 seconds:

Jim McAllister: ‘Standing in front of a room full of young people, trying to get them excited about the world, trying to make them think, preparing them for the tough moral and ethical decisions that they’d face as adults, that’s how I wanted to spend my life.’

So, if you combine the 2 illustration examples and refurbish them for idea ‘Consistency’, when you see Jim McAllister writing on the chalkboard, he is presenting to students semester after semester a certain consistency. When I type in this blog, and I try to take into consideration that kids could be reading this blog, I would like to believe that I am presenting to the kids that read this blog a certain use of consistency as well.

One example is maintaining a certain positive causality for certain actions presented. To be clear, I don’t have kids of my own. However, when a kid presents some kind of causality that, for the kid’s benefit, that presentation should be given some sort of positive acknowledgement, I try with some sort of use of consistency present that positive acknowledgement to that kid. Now, let’s say that, in various moments of time, maybe 500 kids individually presented something that, for their benefit, should receive a positive acknowledgement. Within reason, I try to present to all 500 kids individually a positive acknowledgement. How is that possible? I’ve been making ideas in this blog for a certain amount of years, and in my opinion, knowing that is used to make certain ideas, especially when those ideas try to take into consideration that kids would be reading and using such ideas.

I’m only recommending the use of those 2 illustration examples from the movie ‘Election’ for idea ‘Consistency’. Do not use the rest of the movie for the advice. After all, the movie is rated R.

It is now 12:51AM EST for me.

I am going to take a break, and after that break, I will look for a music video and trailer for this advice. That should take about 2 hours before I start typing again. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 3:22AM EST for me.

To avoid making another retraction later, let me make one now. Here’s a quote from this list:

‘ Now, let’s say that, in various moments of time, maybe 500 kids individually presented something that, for their benefit, should receive a positive acknowledgement. Within reason, I try to present to all 500 kids individually a positive acknowledgement. How is that possible? I’ve been making ideas in this blog for a certain amount of years, and in my opinion, knowing that is used to make certain ideas, especially when those ideas try to take into consideration that kids would be reading and using such ideas. ‘

To be clear, whatever I meant before, now that statement is just imagined. It’s just an imagined ‘let’s say’. I am only imagining ‘maybe 500 kids’ I could individually present a positive acknowledgement. It is my belief now that I can make certain minor mistakes, as long as I am able to fix those mistakes at a reasonable time. For example, if I make a mistake while typing a blog, I now have the option of allowing that mistake to continue to exist in word form as long as I am able to type a retraction while I am still typing in that blog. It’s up to my discretion whether or not to use that option.

It is now 3:40AM EST for me.

To give advance warning, the music video that I am about to recommend has a few ‘bad language’ words in it. It’s the same word, but from it’s wikipedia link, that song was also given a live show performance. Here’s a quote:

‘ McRae sang “Revolving Door” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 5, 2025.[24] She performed the song in a white box with a revolving floor along with two dancers, which was similar to the music video, according to Rolling Stone’s Emily Zemler. ‘

I checked the 1st line from the youtube link, and I discovered that the ‘bad language’ from the 1st line from the lyrics was removed. In my opinion, the lyrics of the song was given a certain acceptance minus the bad language just by being allowed to having a live performance in The Tonight Show, a show I’m assuming is watched by the general public.

I’m going to recommend a music video with a few ‘bad language’ words in it. Just don’t use the bad language. For example, those ‘bad language’ words were taken out during a live ‘Tonight Show’ performance, not used. Just don’t use it, even though you may hear it when watching the music video, if you choose to watch the music video.

I tried looking for another music video, but I didn’t want to spend too much time on that endeavor.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice, with bad language not used, is ‘Revolving door’ by Tate McRae. I found it by selecting in www.youtube.com publisher ‘Current Chart!’, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘Top Hit Songs Currently On Spotify – APRIL 2025!’. A video clip from music video ‘Revolving door’ starts 4 minutes and 51 seconds into the music video collection. It is also #30 out of 75.

From link nbc.com, here’s a quote about ‘what the song is about’:

In a video interview with Billboard, McRae revealed how the song was inspired by her life feeling “like a never-ending revolving door.”

“I just had this reoccurring theme that was going on in my life thinking the same thoughts, making the same choices, going back to the same people. My life just kind of felt like this never-ending revolving door,” McRae told Billboard. “And a lot of the imagery for this album was like a never-ending road, a never-ending door because I felt like I was sometimes just going towards something where I could never see a finish line.”

“It was a really fun song to play with because I realized it was not only about a relationship, but it was also about me and my inability to make decisions, and me chasing this career that I was like, ‘Oh, my God, what do I want out of this?'” she recalled. “And so you can kind of see in the bridge of the song, it goes from a relationship song to a fully introspective song about my personality and how I literally just can’t make my mind up.”

And here is a quote from the wikipedia link as to what the music video is about:

The video starts with McRae entering a white room and the direction focuses on her flexibility;

It follows McRae and a group of dancers in all-white outfits performing in a room with fifteen doors; each one represents a different track from So Close to What, according to the singer.[23] After finalizing the choreography, she cries and repeats it, which according to Abbie Reynolds of Capital, represents “the feeling of being trapped in a never ending cycle”

And here is a quote from the lyrics:

But I keep comin’ back like a revolvin’ door
Say I couldn’t want you less, but I just want you more
So I keep comin’ back like a revolvin’ door
Say I couldn’t want you less, but I just want you more

To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘revolving door tate mcrae’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 14M views! It was published 1 month ago by publisher ‘Tate McRae’.

In my opinion, I recommend that you start watching the music video 20 seconds into the music video. That is when the lyrics start.

Of course, the music video met a few of my other expectations, but the main reason, so to speak, why I chose the music video ‘Revolving door’ was because of the synchronized dancing, and the fact that, in my opinion, I believe that all of the women dancers look attractive while they were dancing in the music video. Basically, ‘attractive women with synchronized dancing’. I watched it on my laptop, and I’ll probably watch it from tv later. (Of course, I have chosen music videos that don’t have only or mostly synchronized women dancers.)

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time and recommend for this advice is called ‘Tron: Ares’. I saw a few moments of that trailer before, but I decided to choose it when I recently saw it earlier today. I selected publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Trailers’, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘New Trailers This Week | Week 15 (2025)’ published 12 hours ago. It was the 1st trailer offered in that trailer collection. I then searched in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘tron ares’, and then selected ‘Tron: Ares | Official Trailer’ published 10 days ago with 12M views, published by Disney.

If you watched the 1st 2 movies, then you’ll probably want to watch ‘Tron: Ares’. Here’s a quote from the wikipedia link:

‘ It is a sequel to Tron: Legacy (2010) and the third installment in the Tron franchise. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson, with Jeff Bridges reprising his role as Kevin Flynn from the previous installments.

Tron: Ares is scheduled to be released in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on October 10, 2025.

Premise
Tron: Ares follows a highly sophisticated program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings. ‘

It is now 4:45AM EST for me.

I am going to take another break, and then I’ll start typing again. I’ll see you then.

Blame:

It is now 5:19AM EST for me.

This is what I imagine non-managerial Americans in general say to management, without let’s say years of experience attending meetings, a statement that differentiates their actions from other responsibilities:

‘I don’t let my personal beliefs get in the way of my job responsibilities.’

Based on that statement, there are actions that should not get involved with job related responsibilities.

Here’s an illustration example: imagine a cup of coffee using a rectangular coaster, and that coaster is a 10×10 grid. Each location on that grid represents participations and interpretations that that coffee should not be involved with. However, when that coffee spills on that coaster, even though the coffee should not get involved with those grid locations, it still creates a biased interpretation when exposed to those grid locations.

I don’t give advice professionally, but I believe that certain experiences, even though people know that such experiences do not belong with certain participations, their ‘available objectivity’ is still affected by exposure to such experiences.

I’m going to use a few scenes from the movie ‘Circle of Iron(1978)’ as my 1st illustration example for idea ‘Blame’. The movie is available streaming from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts 8 minutes and 19 seconds into the movie:

White Robe(Roddy McDowall): ‘There are rules, and you have broken them. You have chosen to break almost every rule of the contest.’

12 minutes and 19 seconds into the movie:

Morthond(Anthony De Longis): ‘One year ago, I took a vow of silence.’

Cord(Jeff Cooper): ‘When did you break it?’

Morthond: ‘Now! Why are you following me?’

Refurbished, here’s my interpretation: White Robe, the judge of that contest, said:

‘There are rules, and you have broken them. You have chosen to break almost every rule of the contest.’

Morthond used the blame made by the judge White Robe as justification that he had won the contest. However, Morthond’s use of that blame is also causing him to feel distress in a way that is adversely affecting his fighting ability. One indication that his ability to fight has been affected is when he told Cord that he had broken his vow of silence in order to verbally address the fact that Cord is following him:

Morthond(Anthony De Longis): ‘One year ago, I took a vow of silence.’

Cord(Jeff Cooper): ‘When did you break it?’

Morthond: ‘Now! Why are you following me?’

My point is that how you interact with blame as a non-managerial employee could cause you to feel distress and affect your work performance. In this example, not where I work, but in other jobs, I imagined people participating in what I generalistically would call the ‘Recovery Room’, where certain job related experiences would adversely affect their work performance. And so, they are in this ‘recovery room’ to await treatment.

The strategy idea that I am going to offer you in the next list, it’s intent is to give you more of an ability to choose to not use blame that does not belong with certain situations, with certain interpretations. If you use that ‘strategy idea’, you may be able to sense a certain blame, but not use it, not address it. So, based on a recent example in this list, ‘The coffee spilled on it, but you’re choosing to not use it or address it.’ It’s going to require some practice to use, but I think it will be useful to you.

In another example, blame may not be enough to resolve an experienced situation that identifies a mistake using blame. For example, if a person makes a mistake, and another person blames that person for making a mistake, is blaming that person enough to resolve that mistake? If you are an adult that has been working for a few years or more, then I recommend that you recall certain experiences where someone would make a mistake, and another person would blame that person for making a mistake. Was blaming that person enough to resolve that mistake? I recommend that you use that, to question if blaming someone for making a mistake, would be enough to resolve, or even mitigate in a certain context such a mistake. Just consider it as an option. You decide when to use it.

It is now 5:50AM EST for me.

I am going to close this list now. This coming Monday, 4/21/2025, about 7:00PM EST, I will start explaining more ‘strategy ideas’ for idea ‘Use address’, unless I change my mind. So, if you are there, I’ll see you then.
