Lara Croft!
(said as a belated greeting.)
It is now 9:41 AM EST for me. Since I don’t want to look through youtube and the Billboard lists to find a new music video to introduce to you, and I would rather just fast forward through music videos offered by the cable tv service that I use, I want to introduce to you the music video for the song ‘Leave(Get Out)’ by American singer JoJo. Here is a quote from www.wikipedia.org about the song and music video:
‘It was released as the album’s lead single on February 24, 2004. …it became an international hit, reaching number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100. When the single reached number one on Billboard’s Pop Songs chart, JoJo became, at age 13, the youngest solo artist to have a number-one single in the United States.’
‘The music video takes place in a high school in California. JoJo is seen with friends in the yard, corridor and girls’ bathroom. She is also seen dancing with cheerleading girlfriends, including pictures hanging on the walls with her alleged ex-boyfriend.’
Here’s a quote from the lyrics:
Get Out, (leave) right now,
It’s the end of you and me
It’s too late (now) and I can’t wait for you to be gone
Basically, I’m presenting music video ‘Leave(Get Out)’ as a teenage girl angst(a feeling of dread, anxiety, or anguish) illustration. Based on how I extrapolate my own high school experiences, it is my belief that the grapevine(a person-to-person method of spreading rumors, gossip, information, etc., by informal or unofficial conversation, letter writing, or the like: definition of ‘grapevine’ provided by www.dictionary.com), is created and maintained/reinstated by teenage girl angst. For example, think of teenage girl angst as something that creates telephone lines and wires, like the ones you see outside of your houses. After those lines and wires are created and reinstated, you give them some time to ‘cool off’, and then the teenage boys can use them, too, for normal stuff or whatever.
[4/21/2018: When I said ‘it is my belief that the grapevine…’, I just invented that idea while I was typing, and even though I ‘believe’ it to be true, I still could be wrong about it. After all, there are probably other ways grapevines are created. For example, I did not take into account grammar schools and high schools that are all boys and teenage males. For example, I think that, according to movie ‘Casino Royale’ starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, Bond came from an all boys school. From the ‘Bridget Jones’ movies, Mark Darcy(Colin Firth) I think also came from an all boys/all teenage males school, and so on. In it’s context with music video ‘Leave(Get Out)’, I think the statement is OK.]
I watched music video ‘Leave(Get Out)’ less than an hour ago for the 1st time in it’s entirety from a copy I made from cable tv, and from youtube. The copy from cable tv is from a tv show called ‘Total Request Playlist’ from channel ‘MTV Classic’, in case you may want to watch it from your own tv. To watch it for free streaming, just search for phrase ‘jojo leave get out’ from www.youtube.com, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with over 66 million views.
To be clear, when I said it was presented as a teenage angst illustration, it’s teenage angst in general. You don’t have to see it specifically about a teenage girl breaking up with her boyfriend. I’m referring to teenage girl angst that teenage boys are not supposed to be able to understand, but may imagine exist. Of course, the teenage girl angst is in relation to advice presented.
Overlapping:
I believe I explained idea ‘Overlapping’ in the past in the Amazon lists, but I haven’t explained it using idea ‘The Phonetic System’, an idea I introduced to you in Wishlist #1104 on 11/12/2017 in this blog. So, this is my 1st official example from the idea ‘The Phonetic System’ using those 100 noun based words I offered you. So, let me start by offering you an illustration for idea ‘Overlapping’: The illustration is in movie ‘Ocean’s Thirteen(2007)’ starring Brad Pitt as Rusty Ryan, Angel Oquendo as Ortega, and George Clooney as Danny Ocean. The illustration, according to Amazon Video Standard Definition rental, starts 1 hour and 48 seconds into the movie, Ortega is a security guard sitting down at his work assignment looking at his computer surveillance screen. Here is a quote:
Ortega:-(cell phone ringing)-‘Yeah, Ortega here.’
Danny Ocean:-‘Mr. Ortega, this is Vice Principal Meckler.’
Ortega:-‘Oh, no.’
Ocean:-‘I’m afraid so. We’ve had another incident with Manny and Ms. Kelso. It was the leg this time. We need somebody to come down and pick him up.’
Ortega:-‘My wife can’t…’
Ocean:-‘I’m sorry, sir, your wife we’ve haven’t been able to get a hold of. We’ve left messages.’
It was right at this moment that Ortega sees another security guard walking towards him, and the security guard is really Rusty Ryan.
Ortega:-‘Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo! Buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy! Do me a favor!’
Ryan:-‘Yeah?’
Ortega:-‘Cover my post for half an hour.’
Ryan:-‘Oh, man, I was just about to go on break.’
Ortega:-‘Come on, man, help me out. My kid accidentally hurt the lunch lady again.’
Ryan:-‘Really?’
Ortega:-‘Yeah.’
Ryan:-‘Yeah, all right.’
Ortega:-‘All right, man, I owe you one, all right?’
Ryan:-‘Yeah, you do. See you later.’
Of course, there’s this other ‘back story’ from the movie. The point is that even though Mr. Ortega is still able to do his job, he still has to temporarily leave his job in order to pick up his son from school. Refurbished for advice, this is what I call an ‘Overlapping’ example. Even though Mr. Ortega is still able to perform his job duties, he still chooses to leave his job for another reason.
Another example, generalistically speaking, is the fact that mild to moderate instigations are able to exist in school or job related situations, even though certain obvious examples of instigations are not allowed in such school or job related situations. That may create a paradox(a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth) in the minds of the innocent people experiencing such instigations. For example, here’s an illustration from movie ‘Mistress America(2015)’ starring Rebecca Henderson as Anna Wheeler and Greta Gerwig as Brooke. The illustration, according to Amazon Video, starts 28 minutes and 36 seconds into the movie, and the illustration is, of course, edited and refurbished for this advice. Here is a quote:
Anna:-‘Hi, I don’t know if you remember me, we went to high school together. Anna Wheeler?’
Brooke:-‘Oh, yeah! What are you doing in the city? Do you live here?’
Anna:-‘No, I’m in Tenafly.’
Brooke:-‘What are you guys drinking? Let me buy you a drink.’
Anna:-‘I just wanted to tell you because I never had the courage to do it when I was actually in high school: you really hurt my feelings.’
Brooke:-(chuckles) ‘What?’
Anna:-‘You don’t remember?’
Brooke:-‘What did I do?’

Anna:-‘That thing? ‘Yep, bitter. You and your friend Abe?’
Brooke:-‘Abe!’
Anna:-‘You guys used to do this thing where you would walk up to me, touch my skin, and then like taste it and think for a minute, and then say: ‘Yep, bitter.’, and then laugh.’
Brooke:-‘Right! We did do that, didn’t we? We were weird.’
Anna:-‘I was standing right there, every single time you did it. It was really mean. The way you treated me really messed me up for a long time. You made a lot of people feel bad, not just me.
Of course, movie ‘Mistress America’ is just a comedy drama movie.
[I’m going to take a short break now to watch some tv and to relax a little. I’ll start again later today.
1:14 PM
All right! it is now 1:14 PM EST for me. I’m just going to patch this idea up as I type. Before ‘The Phonetic System’, to treat an instigation that is overlapping, what you could have done is just imagine 3 locations: the 1st location is a red ‘X’, the 2nd location is another red ‘X’, and the 3rd location is a green ‘check mark’. [4/21/2018: all in the same row.] You may think to yourself, ‘not that(1st red X), not that(2nd red X), that(green check mark). Basically, you’re using the 2 red ‘X’s and ‘green check mark’ idea to partition(the separation of a whole into it’s integrant parts) the experience with the instigation better. For example, here is a quote from movie ‘Mistress America’:
Anna:-‘I was standing right there, every single time you did it. It was really mean. The way you treated me really messed me up for a long time. You made a lot of people feel bad, not just me.
One reason why I think Anna and those other teenagers were bothered so much by Brooke and Abe is that instigation is not allowed in school. Those teenage girls were not prepared well enough to experience instigation, especially since in their minds, instigation was already something that was not supposed to happen in school.
The idea that is described by idea ‘Overlapping’, it purpose is to help you partition an experienced instigation, so that you can develop ideas that may help you more tenably experience instigation, and more, of course. So, using Wishlist #1104, using the 100 noun based words that I have given you, you may choose to imagine to create 100 memory locations that may be used to partition experienced instigation better. So, as a 1st illustration example, you may imagine a 10×10 grid, 10 rows, 10 on each row. Let’s say that each location either has a red ‘X’, a N/A(not available) designation, meaning that such a location is not available to be used for a specific designation for such a specific interpretation, at least not yet, or it has a ‘green check mark’. Let’s say you use one of your minor experienced instigations, and that whole 10×10 grid is partitioning that one instigation into a bunch of red ‘X’s, green ‘check marks’, and ‘N/A’s. You see? You have more to work with now.
Worry:
Let’s use the 10×10 grid to partition a generalistic instigation I believe is happening to many people, including adults. The instigation is identified by the word ‘Worry’, and it identifies how many experienced instigations may cause an innocent person to worry too much. That reminds me of a girl telling a boy quote-‘Don’t be such a worrywart.’ According to www.dictionary.com, worrywart means-‘a person who tends to worry habitually and often needlessly’. Now, let’s select a location on that 10×10 grid to address ‘Worry’. For the sake of illustration, and you can always change it, since the numbers are in ascending order starting from the top row…Before I continue, I recommend using that scene from the movie ‘The Fifth Element(1997)’, starring Milla Jovovich as Leeloo and Ian Holm as Cornelius. According to Amazon Video, the scene starts 49 minutes and 59 seconds into the movie. Here is a quote:
Cornelius:-‘And she is looking for the address. Easy.’
Leeloo:-‘Dot.’
Just imagine Leeloo pointing at the location on the 10×10 grid, and saying the word ‘Dot.’ That location, and you can change it, is location number ’99’. It’s noun based name is ‘pipe’. It’s at the lower right hand corner of the 10×10 grid. To easily imagine it, I recommend imagining ‘pipe’ as a ‘smoking pipe’, a device specifically made to smoke tobacco. You can see an image and a description of ‘tobacco pipe’ in www.wikipedia.org. There’s even an image of Sherlock Holmes smoking a pipe in that ‘wikipedia’ page.
Now, let’s see if I can ‘sell’ the idea: Basically, when you experience certain instigations, whether it’s from school or work, those instigations are designed to incorporate within it’s identity, within it’s involvement, a certain contemplation related sense of worry. For example, here is another quote from the movie ‘Mistress America’:
Anna:-‘That thing? ‘Yep, bitter. You and your friend Abe?’
Brooke:-‘Abe!’
Anna:-‘You guys used to do this thing where you would walk up to me, touch my skin, and then like taste it and think for a minute, and then say: ‘Yep, bitter.’, and then laugh.’
Of course, ‘Mistress America’ is just a movie. But if we were to choose to refurbish it to help us with experienced instigation, I don’t think Brooke and Abe used that same instigation identity on every other teenage girl in their school. It was probably an instigation specifically made for Anna to experience. However, if you can imagine partitioning the instigation, you may notice that, within it’s identity, it causes Anna to have a certain contemplation related sense of worry. In other words, Anna cannot partition the experience, because it’s very identity says to Anna ‘Yep, bitter.’. It’s all one piece, so to speak. When she remembers them tasting her, thinking about her, and then saying the words ‘Yep, bitter.’, she cannot contemplationally partition that experience.
So, let’s just imagine that you’re an innocent person that experienced an instigation, and whether it’s for school or work, you want to ask your teacher or boss a ‘stupid’ question, so to speak, and that question is:-‘Do I have to excessively worry?’ I’m not saying that ‘worry’ doesn’t exist, or that you should not have to worry at all. I am asking ‘Should people constantly excessively worry when they are at school or at work?’ Of course, the answer, said in a reasonable context, should be ‘No.’ That should allow you to develop a sense of ‘not worrying’. Of course, you decide when to use your sense of ‘not worrying’.
Of course, I am not a psychiatrist, a caseworker, along those lines. However, I believe that the reason many people, including adults, have trouble developing a sense to ‘not worry’ is because the instigations such people experienced, such people cannot partition those instigations. Like Anna’s ‘Yep, bitter.’ experienced instigation, in their minds, it cannot be partitioned. And so, if these innocent people cannot partition such an experience, then worry for many situations will be a part of that instigation’s very identity. Of course, when such innocent people are doing positive things in their lives, like being with their friends, or attending other participations that give such people a positive purpose, then their ability to ‘not worry’ works, even for such situations.
So, the solution I invented is to use the 10×10 grid, go to that ‘Worry’ location, and allow yourself to develop your sense to ‘not worry’, when you don’t have to worry so much. Your starting point should not be from the instigation in order to ‘not worry’. Your starting point should be already having a sense to ‘not worry’, and when you experience mild to moderate instigation, you are to try to maintain and reinstate that sense to ‘not worry’. So, instead of giving you illustrations for ‘Not worry’ specifically, I’m going to use illustrations for maintaining a sense of positive mental attitude, and then you can use that ‘positive mental attitude’ example to associate with maintaining and reinstating your sense to ‘not excessively worry’:
Positive mental attitude:
So, here’s the 1st illustration: The illustration is from episode 5.11 ‘Through a Glass, Darkly’ from sci-fi tv show ‘Andromeda(2005)’. If you have Amazon Prime, the episode is available to watch without additional payment. In that illustration, Captain Dylan Hunt(Kevin Sorbo) is talking to Beka Valentine(Lisa Ryder). The illustration, according to Amazon Video, starts 1 minute and 6 seconds into the episode. Watching that illustration is highly recommended. Here is a quote:
Captain Hunt:-‘We’re going to find a gap in that sensor coverage. Just keep your PMA charged and online.’
Beka:-‘My PMA?’
Captain Hunt:-‘Positive mental attitude.’
Later, as Beka’s spaceship’s shields are being hit, 1 minute and 28 seconds into the episode, Beka says quote:
Beka:-”Positive mental attitude’ my perky mortal ass.’
3:34 PM
All right. I stopped looking for that specific 2nd example illustration. Either that illustration was removed, or I just couldn’t find it. Basically, the illustration is in one of the episodes of lawyer tv show ‘The Good Fight’, the one with investors Jerry Warshofsky(Zachary Booth) and Tom C. Duncan(Corey Cott), the episode with either one of them or both of them. I checked episodes 1.2 ‘First Week’ and 1.7 ‘Not So Grand Jury’. I think the illustration was in Season 1. I couldn’t find the illustration. So, instead, I’ll quote episode 1.7 ‘Not So Grand Jury’, and then I’ll tell you what I originally saw. According to Amazon Video, the illustration starts 32 minutes and 39 seconds into the episode, Adrian Boseman(Delroy Lindo) talking to Jerry and Tom. Of course, the illustration is edited and refurbished for this advice. Here is the quote:
Tom:-‘But hey, please, don’t swear, okay?’
Adrian:-(tightening his face and shaking his hands) ‘Ah! Okay. I-I-I got it. It bugs out Jer. I’m sorry. And thank you. Thank you for coming.’
So, the illustration I remember, maybe I just can’t find it. After all, I’m just using that ‘search’ option Amazon offers at the bottom of the screen that shows you an image for a different moment of the tv show/movie. I’m not going to watch the episode again. I remember Adrian saying some sort of word or phrase Jerry and/or Tom does not find acceptable, and moving from left to right of the tv show screen, Adrian walks up to them/him in some sort of happy, giddy physical state. Now, from THAT moment, not the ‘tight face shaking hands’ moment from ‘Not So Grand Jury’, is what I used to imagine something for idea ‘Worry’: From that moment, I imagined that Adrian created a sense that he uses for reinstating his ‘positive mental attitude’. Whenever Adrian wants to, he can recall that sense. So, for example, let’s say he’s talking to another lawyer about some sort of tragedy. Even though he may sense that ‘positive mental attitude’ sense, his intent defines it’s use. So, for an intentionally inaccurate imagined explanation, even though when Adrian calls upon that ‘positive mental attitude’ sense and feels happy, when he is in a circumstance that involves tragedy, he still presents himself in a sympathetic, humble manner. Adrian uses that sense to help reinstate his positive mental attitude when he needs to. After all, he is a lawyer that needs a lot of positive mental attitude reinstatement and maintaining.
Now, in that illustration when Adrian responded in a giddy manner towards Jerry and/or Tom, I imagined that Adrian’s ‘positive mental attitude’ sense poured out, in a way. It sort of overwhelmed the concerns Jerry and/or Tom had about his use of language, and his giddy, physical demeanor is an articulation of that dominating sense of positive mental attitude.
Anyway, if you can cultivate your own ‘positive mental attitude’ sense that you can manage with your intent, then you can associate that experience with cultivating a sense to ‘not worry’ that also will be managed by your intent.
Look, I don’t expect you to ace this idea just by reading this specific list. I do, however, plan on making more ideas. Basically, I’m trying to teach you to walk before you can run, so to speak. Also, I’m introducing you to the 1st ‘Phonetic System’ idea that is represented by a 10×10 grid.
[That’s it for idea ‘Worry’. I’m going to proofread and close this list now. Next week, I plan to give you what I call a ‘basic concept’ idea, but it’s not. It just makes sense in my mind that it is, but to you, you may not see it that way. Anyway, like this idea, you can choose whether or not to use it.
