Looking Through A Sad Onion

Monk/Steinhoff
Time for this week's Monk/Steinhoff videoclip. The work of mine involved, "Snow On The Way" (posted on YouTube in 2006 and archive.org in 2008) is not among the videos of mine most often referenced. An additional obscure factor, first noted in my YouTube Monk/Steinhoff videoclip of July 27, 2008, is that sometimes the context is expanded by the "Monk" people, so that an item they include one week designed by them for me to draw a circle around, also proves to be of significance to the Monk/Steinhoff videoclip the following week.

So between these two obscure factors, I expect that at the same moment I am making sense to people with a certain amount of brain power, I will simultaneously appear to be stretching things/contriving things in the opinion of others (which also opens the door wider for those merely posturing as skeptics to take a shot at me). Yet I'm glad to see my other work in the "spotlight", or whatever kind of light this is:



As I've mentioned in the past, for quite some time any situation I find myself in, whether it be a work situation, or a situation where the makers of a TV show involve themselves with my material over a period of time, any situation I'm in long enough, becomes infiltrated by people with hostile motives regarding me. This is something one might be more likely to accept as the experience of someone who has had a high profile over a long period of time, who might collect powerful enemies in life. Well, I have collected some very powerful enemies, and I've seen this infiltration too many times to rationalize that it is some subjective delusion. Those not victimized in this manner, on the other hand, are free to rationalize all they want. I bring this up because I see it happening increasingly in relation to "Monk," specific things I am not describing here.

Though I did not write a specific sketch idea for this installment of this show, that hasn't generally prevented them from finding a way to put in something (such as a something gained through infiltration of my work situation). I noticed this week on SNL in some piece they mentioned that, "even John Kerry was funny". A few years ago when John Kerry got into trouble for his misfired joke, which he did immediately appropos of something I did, "Recipe For Fun" (on YouTube, about Heinz Ketchup (Kerry's wife's company) as a necessary comedy ingredient), I wrote to a Paul McCartney intermediary that McCartney should be in a comedy sketch relating to "Recipe For Fun". I felt partly responsible to generate support of some kind for Kerry, particularly as he had once been the Democratic Presidential Candidate. Eight days after my communication to McCartney asking that he be in a comedy sketch, McCartney made a surprise appearance on SNL, in a sketch with Steve Martin about someone putting poison in someone else's drink. The sketch subject clearly relates to the title, "Recipe For Fun". How clear this was to Kerry I do not know. So with Steve Martin being the host this week, and with the reference to Kerry's infamous misfired joke incident by saying that even Kerry was funny, I see a connection. One might or might not also look at the fact that Martin was in a sketch this past week where he took Ecstasy thinking he was eating mints.

The only three comedy sketch ideas I have written for SNL since the September '08 TV season began have all resulted in big Obama news stuff (perhaps I will review this in a future blog, complete with evidence showing date posted in relation to following events). Furthermore, the interpretations of my sketches through the "medium" of actual occurrences have not been too far from the intent, as compared to a good number of SNL's interpretations. This might be considered by those who presume that there's nothing so heavy going on when I pick up a pen, or presume there's no enormous demand on me to thusly bring something into the world that bears fruit.
