If Periods Could Talk
Anyone who has seen my “Mall Man” video (archive.org) and also the August 24th season finale of Jason Lee’s “Memphis Beat” (which may or may not have been its series finale) and has also been reading my blog articles written since that show first began relating to how my having secretly created that which led to Jason Lee’s “My Name Is Earl” (“The Fun Guy” at archive.org) and that which led to the title of Jason Lee’s first starring role in a movie, “Mallrats” (“Mall Man” and "Fun Guy" were both sent to the producer of “Mallrats” and only one or two others prior to "Mallrats" and "Earl", respectively[8/26/10 correction-"Mall Man" (1993) video distributed to various people prior to "Mallrats"; "Mall Man" story treatment (1992) sent only to person who was later to become "Mallrats" producer]) will already have caught on to the clear basis for interpreting important things that occurred in that TV show episode as having originated with my video, “Mall Man” - the villain's self-description as having buried his former self, the villain’s head injury disconnecting him from his former self, the villain’s love interest becoming estranged/no longer feeling that she can recognize him due to the inner change, the villain’s rejection of a possession taking on a psychologically symbolic significance for the villain regarding the change in the character – however, all will not be aware that my “The Fun Guy” which led to “My Name Is Earl” was originally conceived with Drew Barrymore in mind for one of the three leads, causing me to send it to her when it was created (and speaking with Chris Miller, her housemate and business partner, who gave me his personal cell phone number), which makes it of particular interest that, on the same important day for Jason Lee (8.24.10), Letterman had Drew Barrymore as a guest, featuring her speaking the word “karma”, the oft-repeated, important word in both “My Name Is Earl” and “The Fun Guy”, though if I or Jason Lee had made a point of using that same word “karma” on August 24th it may possibly have been more obvious what the implied context usage of the word on that day might have been, though I'm only the guy who originated "Earl" and August 24th was only the last day of the first (and possibly last) season of "Memphis Beat", so what does my seeing Barrymore in "Earl" have to do with Barrymore on August 24th, and I should also mention that I've occasionally referred to Drew in earlier blogs regarding my influence, a positive influence I believe, and on a totally separate note, the inside track regarding myself with relation to the dove in Tim Burton’s “Mars Attacks”, to which I allude in my previous blog regarding Iran (8.22.10), and also alluded to, for those with a very discerning eye, in my Sept. 6, 2008 blog, “In Common Again”, is that the dove in the original situation upon which the movie scene was based was a mechanical flying bird (you wind it up) in relation to myself and a fellow CalArts alum who herself is in relation to fellow CalArts alum Burton, surely a fun coincidence given that Iran unveiled their new unmanned bomber (which they call their "Ambassador of Death", and which is receiving enormous attention) at a point in time when the issue of their aiming for nuclear weapon capability has so recently resurfaced pertaining to when they will attain it, the deadline for stopping them now very much of concern, and I know I can take comfort from the certainty that it is a mere coincidence, and I'm sure we will all agree, the time has come for this sentence to come to an end.
