Most interesting…
I’m sure that there is a lot of interesting media that I’ve not even discovered yet, but here is a list of the most interesting I’ve discovered so far (not including the books listed at the end).
Please, do be a little cautious. While all of these have some content that is exactly correct, they also have some that is not.
Television Series…
Star Trek: Discovery
Movie…
Forrest Gump or The Truman Show
Song…
Metallica: The Unforgiven
Here are the books I’ve recently read 🙂 …
- Star Trek: Enterprise, Daedalus’s Children by Dave Stern
- Star Wars: The Old Republic, Knight Errant by John Jackson Miller (this one has some not-interesting content)
- Starman, by Alan Dean Foster
Currently reading…
- The Abyss by Orson Scott Card
Some interesting movies
Click the images if you would like to view the theatrical trailers on YouTube. Please, do be a little cautious, though. While all of these movies have some content that is interesting, they also have much that is not.
Some interesting murals
Here are some photos of some interesting local murals. The mural depicted in the first photo was painted fairly recently (maybe 3-5 years ago?). The other two have been there for years longer, but I don’t know how many.
Zee & Zim — G. & Jim
Many years ago, my dad wrote a book. I don’t know its title, and I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been published (not yet anyhow). I haven’t read it (yet!). However, I do know that it is the story of a pair of characters named Zee and Zim. Throughout the book, Zee regales Zim with many, many stories. And finally, later in the book, when Zee has finished with the stories, Zim sets out to share the stories with other people.
I find the names of the characters interesting. First off, “Jim”, which is phonetically similar to “Zim” is a pretty common nickname for a person named “James”. I also find the names of the characters interesting because, back in 2011, when I was a new believer (in God), I often referred to God by the nickname “G.”, which bears phonetic similarity to “Zee”. I don’t call him that anymore, but those of you that listen in on the Playback later will hear that I did refer to him as such quite a bit for about 3–6 months (in my best estimate). Side note: I was doing this long before I ever became aware of the social trend of people calling each other “G.” as an abbreviated term for “Gangster”.
I also find the plot of the Zee and Zim story interesting because this is what God did with me. He spent several years sharing many stories with me and fragments of many others. At this point, I’m just barely getting started talking a little about those stories, but I fully expect that soon I will become very occupied and stay so for years to come, sharing those stories and story fragments.
This is all I have on this topic for now. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to read the book soon! I have no idea yet if there may be additional interesting content within the story.
God bless everyone!

Just a note to avoid confusion: I’m not a robot and never was.

It occurred to me recently that some people may think that when I describe something as interesting or not-interesting, I’m trying to somehow relate that subject to my grandfather. Please rest assured, I am not doing that.
When I describe something as interesting, I just mean that it seems to point at elements in our experience in a way that seems too accurate or close to accurate to be dismissed as mere coincidence.
When I describe something as not-interesting, what I’m trying to convey is that it seems to relate to something in our experience, and it is too amazing to be mere coincidence, but it is not accurate, nor is it near accurate. On all the occasions I have ever described something as not-interesting, I was never trying to say that something is boring (nor Boring).
When I wrote about having a houseguest, I described things here (in my apartment) as uninteresting, but that is a different word, so it’s not in conflict with what I wrote in the paragraph above, but I would like to be clear that what I meant is that things here are boring (lower-case b, adjective). In that instance also, I was not at all trying to relate the subject to my grandfather.
My original intent was to simply convey an idea in a very concise way instead of being long-winded about it. Well, I made an unfortunate choice of wording, and so here I am being long-winded about it, but at least I only have to do it once… yay!
I didn’t mean to cause confusion. I’m sorry that I probably did, and I apologize for that.
God bless everyone!
