1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,759 --> 00:00:07,679
yes to creativity, totally uncad because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,199
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:13,359
It's very difficult to see it this way, but we

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,960
presently live in an age we're going to a movie

6
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:18,519
theater still hasn't returned to the way that it used

7
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:23,320
to be. Giant blockbusters are fizzling out. I mean, I

8
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:25,679
just read an article and saw a video of Tom Cruise.

9
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:28,480
He did a five city tour traveling around the country

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,600
to promote his new Mission Impossible movie. He wanted people

11
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:36,200
to have a movie experience. The actors and writers' strike

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,560
is in full swing. Even our binge watching desires are

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,759
going to sit there in front of that flat screen TV,

14
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:45,880
and in the months ahead we're gonna go whoa, whoa,

15
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:50,960
there's nothing on because they're on strike. One expert says

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,240
movie theaters are evolving, they're not dying better technology and

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,759
unbelievable concessions. I agree with that right there. One story

18
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:02,880
shared that movie theaters will never be the same again.

19
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:06,519
The success of theaters in the past made owners fat

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,319
and very lazy, so all they had to do was

21
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:12,400
just show the movie. They didn't have to super serve

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,519
the movie fan like they're having to do today. I mean,

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,120
I still visit theaters with ugly seating and poor popcorn,

24
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:21,000
which is why I do all I can to sneak

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,519
in my movie treats, you know, hitting the dollar store first,

26
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:27,599
and then a tremendous amount of guilt sinks into my

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,159
soul when I see the movie theater employee. Yeah, I

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,040
got that candy, all right, But I'm cutting into what

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,920
they make every hour. Somebody's gonna get fired or they're

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,680
going to cut hours, but somebody is going to change

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,640
because I chose to go to the dollar store. I

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,719
don't like this feeling. I don't because I'm affecting other

33
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,400
people's lives. But how can we make the movie experience bigger, stronger,

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,079
and better than it presently is. We need to invest

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,840
into those theaters before they start disappearing, and here in

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,799
Charlotte they have been Hey, Sarah, this is the Daily Mess,

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,640
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a

38
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:08,639
daily writer. I am a silent wolf. I sit underneath

39
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,400
the brushes of life and I watch and I study.

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,400
I see the habits of you and me and everything

41
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:21,520
else that's living and breathing. This is the daily mess. Yeah,

42
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000
they're telling me, it's a Friday. What day is it

43
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:26,319
where you are? Is it a Friday, A Monday, a Thursday?

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,919
What day is it? The calendar says, well, yeah, I

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,560
guess it's a Friday where I am right now. But

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,159
I don't know about you, But I bump into more

47
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,599
people every day who find any day of the week

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,560
very difficult to digest. It doesn't feel like how did

49
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:47,280
we get here already? How could it be? They say

50
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:50,000
that Fridays are supposed to be the happiest days of

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,120
the week, mainly because the masses identify a Friday as

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,400
being the day before two day weekend. Well that's all changed.

53
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,479
Millions of people are now working too four jobs a week,

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,879
part time jobs because nobody wants to give you a

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,280
full time opportunity. Their weekend is one day here, and

56
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,039
we'll give you one over here after you work nine

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,000
more days in a row. Companies aren't playing by the

58
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:19,639
two day off rule. Mondays are the most disliked. Maybe

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,759
for the normal nine to fiver. My Monday is actually

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,560
a Thursday. I go through several mental changes before and

61
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:32,080
during my Thursday, remembering what day of the week it is.

62
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:37,240
It's very important. Here's why. Research shows it's how you

63
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,400
and I and everybody else, it's how we design and

64
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,120
play out our responsibilities. You do realize it was the

65
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,000
babylons that created this so called seven day week. It's

66
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:51,199
all based on the lunar cycle. So to go back

67
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,680
and change the calendar and time would infect and poison

68
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,199
more than we could ever imagine. We're just too deep

69
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,199
into what we think is a pain in the ass,

70
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:05,319
the days of the week, the time on the clock.

71
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,599
How do you deal with those mental moments when a

72
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:11,960
Friday really doesn't feel like a Friday. My wife will

73
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,240
tell me, well, it's actually a Tuesday. We've got two

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,439
more days, we'll have time off. She does it. I

75
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,879
actually had to ask her, please don't do that, because

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,279
I need to know that it really is a Friday.

77
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,000
I need to digest that and that my Friday doesn't

78
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,480
look like someone else's Friday, and that I know that

79
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:31,959
on Friday, my responsibilities today are going to be ABCD.

80
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,399
I need to do this and it has to be

81
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:36,759
done at this time. If this were a normal Friday,

82
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,920
I wish the days of the week had a better identity,

83
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
But a lot of us are going, no, no, I'm

84
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,560
going to play this day like it's my final day.

85
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,879
Oh have you met those people yet? They do because

86
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,800
they've realized that this day it really could be and

87
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,160
if not, who we didn't fall to our final knee.

88
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,759
Identifying the days of the week, this is the thing

89
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:01,560
that spires me the most, the research that went into

90
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,439
it that says that we have to know what day

91
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:05,399
of the week it is because it helps us with

92
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:09,160
our responsibilities. But if we're going to have responsibilities, we've

93
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,920
got to be held accountable for those responsibilities. But so

94
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:18,120
often people say it's a Saturday, just just let it go.

95
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:20,720
We'll deal with it next week. No, you can't do that,

96
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,839
because the way that we design our lives is based

97
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:27,959
on our responsibilities. I see it here in the research.

98
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,160
But if we let something go, we're not coming back

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,759
to it. The reason why is because we're weighed down

100
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:37,560
with this idea that we think we're in control of

101
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,920
time the seven days a week. We think that because

102
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,360
I work Monday, Tuesday through Friday, everything is good, We'll

103
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:46,839
take care of it next week. It doesn't work that way.

104
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,879
And I think one of the things that really screws

105
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:53,079
up our lives is when July fourth, the Independence Day celebration,

106
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,680
happens in the middle of the week in the United States,

107
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:58,560
because then everybody thinks, I've got a four day weekend.

108
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,199
What are you talking about if we think that it's

109
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,279
a certain day. Allow it to happen, but allow yourself

110
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,720
to be held accountable for what does happen. We've all

111
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,680
got responsibilities. Stick to your game, play your game, and

112
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,240
be a leader in your game, because there's a lot

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,600
of people out there that are doing five and six

114
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,439
jobs a week that are more lost than the rest

115
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,720
of us. I'm Ryl, and that's the daily mess.
