Moomoo's Sun No Shine Right Global Change Witch's Curse

THE HEAT IS
I don't know if you're reading this, Al Gore or Bill Maher (as if - of course they are, both are! Oh wait, you're all clueless. My bad.). Here is where I shall leave my suggestion for a PR approach to a name change for "global warming" - assuming there is a mutual, all-around interest in getting a name change done on this confusing handle and then being done with it, as opposed to getting snagged even on agreeing on the shape of the table (sorry, that was me having a Vietnam War flashback).

So my idea would be, have a sketch in a Bill Maher Real Time Show, only first being sure it will be something that HAS to make the news, such as a brief sketch featuring, in-person, Al Gore PLUS Paul McCartney PLUS Barrack Obama (though his schedule may not permit) PLUS Steve Martin PLUS someone picked randomly from the audience, all joined together to solemnly agree, before the camera, on one thing: Change The Name "Global Warming" Officially. Hillary Clinton could notarize it, sign it, do whatever else it takes, and suddenly look seriously into the lens, Barrack alongside her (though his schedule may not permit), and say, "This of course was meant to be a fun sketch, but in all seriousness, from now on, well, you can keep calling it "global warming" if you like.... but WE (she motions around her at all the celebs gathered, who all cheer, Paul McCartney waving back), WE are hereby changing the name to: Climate Change. Happy Holidays Everyone!" (this may take 'til Christmas)

I think it would be great, even just for the idea of something important in the vernacular being "born" in so special a way (as opposed to the expression, "up your nose with a rubber hose," which all began back in a men's room in Chicago in the 1890s, unless it was at a fire station in Vermont in the 1690s).

On the other hand - perhaps the sketch would be better if absurd, with the final upshot being to rename it something totally ridiculous, in a doomed attempt to clarify the concept in people's minds, as "global warming" is truthfully too misleading (Where do I begin? The problem itself results in so many other extreme, far more direct concerns, such as zero heat - which, for the more slow-minded, one should think of as the very opposite of warm, though I am very far from being any kind of expert here).

Instead of "global warming", perhaps, hmm.... "Moomoo's Sun No Shine Right Global Change Witch's Curse".... How do you like that, I started out trying to make a joke, but I think I like this (better than "global warming")! Yes, it actually does almost have me wanting to sell everything I own so that I can afford an electric vehicle! (Special Note - This was not a dig at the movement to stop climate change, it was a dig at the fact that we don't even have the power to collectively bring electric vehicles within every car owner's financial grasp if our lives depended on it.)

MY MOTHER RAISED ME NEVER TO SAY ANYTHING A MILLION PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAPPILY ENJOY REPEATING IN UNISON
Now that Bill Maher has become increasingly involved with the idea that the term "global warming" is confusing and should be changed (to "climate change"), I am pleased to say that I also stated the obvious in this regard back months ago - about half-a-year ago. Here is my huffington post "comment" several months ago:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/JonathanDS2U/an-answer-for-bill-oreill_b_817238_76086655.html
Yes, and Tide detergent should advertise with the slogan, "Drink it and die!" Handles in these matters are EVERYTHING, so why use one that is obviously generating endless confusion? Sometimes the intelligent have to gear things towards what can be easily understood by the less intelligent (this is where soundbites came from), and "global warming" just does not work as a handle.”

I am occasionally an influence on Bill Maher (I have occasionally included in other blogs what I regard as clear evidence of this). In this instance, however, we are merely both stating the obvious, and both recognizing the importance of changing the wording on the handle, "global warming". I happened to find myself face to face with Al Gore (former Vice President, Nobel Prize Winner, etc., etc.) the other day, as we drove by each other on a narrow, random, obscure, probably middle-class residential street in Santa Barbara. I later looked up the fact that Gore recently (Feb. 2011) purchased a home in Santa Barbara. That doesn't make my seeing him necessarily random and unplanned in nature (though certainly it was not planned by me), as my experience has been that 9 out of 10 times I happen to recognize a celebrity face, it also happens to be a celebrity who around that same time is in connection with some sort of thing regarding me, such as an intertwining and direct connection to the previous week's blog article (e.g., years and years ago I left a message on the phone answering machine of someone I didn't entirely feel entitled to leave a message on the machine of. In the message I said I wanted to work for Steven Spielberg, speaking in a familiar way as I did sort of know the person - of additional note would be the fact that I had by then been a considerable influence on this and that Spielberg work. Within a week of my phone message, I was opposite Steven Spielberg as we waited in our cars on opposite sides of a red light. Can't rule out that it was a look-alike).

I would consider it remiss were I not to include mention of how I have no doubt of being behind a sketch the former Vice President was in when he appeared on SNL.

Fun Background Information
As I've mentioned before in many previous blogs, often including a degree of evidence, whenever I send in my sketch ideas for SNL, something always makes it through in some form for that next upcoming show, or occasionally the one after that. I'm particularly proud of the time I sent through someone a message to Paul McCartney (upon whom I am also a major influence) that I wanted him to make a surprise appearance in a sketch, and furthermore, that the sketch regard (for reasons I've detailed somewhere or another) my "Recipe For Fun." The SNL show that aired eight days later had a sketch featuring a surprise McCartney appearance (he was not even slated as the musical act), and the actual sketch was on a subject clearly related in various ways to "Recipe for Fun": Whose drink has the poison?

Back From The Fun Background Information And Still Having Fun
As I said, I am absolutely certain (for far more reasons than I could detail here) that I once had a sketch idea for the show Al Gore hosted, though the idea actually had little to do with Gore. It was about how Arab terrorists had planted a computer chip in chocolate that, by being planted in people who ate the chocolate, was automatically causing garage doors throughout America to automatically open and close unceasingly. So on SNL, instead, they had Gore play the evil head of a chocolate manufacturing company ala Willy Wonka sorta kinda. Not to mention that Sean Daniel was a White House guest of Bill Clinton, according to the record books, I cannot say I am one who knows Sean Daniel, I knew him a little a long time ago, though believe myself to influence him and his segment of the entertainment world (which happens to be a huge segment, extending to Steven Spielberg and so forth).

I AM OUT CONTEXTUALIZING, WILL RETURN IN FIVE MINUTES
This is a brief return in time a fairly short distance, as new information may serve to further contextualize something I find of great note. I refer specifically to my August 8th, 2010 blog, "Stuck In Traffic, Not". I'll leave the actual piecing together of that to which I refer for those interested enough to follow-through on their own (you can't please everyone, and this stuff isn't for those unwilling to do the due diligence research). The new information regards Drew Barrymore being named "Erl" on the video game in the movie "Going The Distance". In a videoclip several years ago I stated how, through me, there was a Drew Barrymore connection to the origin of "My Name is Earl" (you can find this in my June 28, 2009, blog article, "Jolly Fun"), though I suppose I could not particularly prove I stated it back then as that video isn't locked in with any kind of timestamp. I suppose that makes this more for the benefit of those who can take my word on these things (sorry, wish everything I said was for everyone).

If you check the release date of "Going The Distance" (9/3/10), you will see it is not far from the time of the "traffic situation" I had described August 8th. I had already associated Drew Barrymore with Paul McCartney in relation to me when I wrote regarding when they were both contributors to the movie, "Everybody's Fine". So I see some intertwining connections, and not just because of these particulars. I would also see it all further contextualized by, well you'll have to look that up on your own, too. I recommend going to archive.org, creating a searchable database of all the collected volumes of my blogs - I'm up to Volume 5 now, in fact, this will someday be the first one in Volume 6! Hello, world of the FUTURE!!!

I Don't Suppose Anyone Has A Videoclip Of Larry King Leading A Conga Line

Nothing extraordinary to report, nevertheless, a few things I consider worthy of mention:

End Of The World, Part 12
Thursday the Iranian President is scheduled to appear Larry King, and Friday will be the season premiere of the final season of "Smallville". No possible connection, unless you've been following my blogs. I will see if this possible connection takes on significance.

Look Both Ways Before Smashing Into Something
Recently someone who may have been Sheryl Crow behaved in traffic a little like the person I recently mentioned in a blog article for having looked like Eric Clapton on the day his new album was announced. You may want to put on the brakes here, go to Archive.Org, search for Volume 4 of my collected blog articles, then search for Sheryl Crow and Eric Clapton there (you may particularly want to note that Crow will apparently be big on Clapton's upcoming new release). But back to the recent traffic thing - I was at the light to the on-ramp to the 134 on my way to work, the light turned green, however, up came Sheryl Crow (or someone one would think of as her) in the on-ramp diamond line and so didn't have to stop. I behaved appropriately, but I always see that protocol as an accident waiting to happen. I'm glad it is incredibly rare when that on-ramp diamond lane car that doesn't stop vies for the road space of the car that did and then got a green light. I first got my driving license by practicing driving in the car of and accompanied by a woman whose image Clapton put on the inside album jacket of "Slowhand" on my account, so it is important for me to assess the driving of these people, you understand. She also knew (knows?) Paul McCartney, who drives well, last I saw, but I believe I digress.

I recently was provided an opportunity to join in on a Facebook discussion that had Will Lee as a participant. Will Lee is part of Letterman's houseband. This is interesting in that a recent blog article of mine referred to Sheryl Crow in relation to Letterman. I had nothing to contribute to that discussion, and for some strange reason I allowed that fact to be the basis for my choosing not to say anything. I do enjoy Will Lee's impression of a person tortured by Dick Cheney that we occasionally get to see on Letterman. Will Lee also played on a Lennon recording. (I imagine this is a digression for those appreciating the generally non-Beatles quality of this blog article.)

Always Place The Fork To The Left Of The Bishop
Recently Regis on Fallon did his usual secret inside reference for my benefit regarding someone I once knew who is also someone to whom Regis once introduced himself. Fallon participated in it (Fallon is a friend of Drew Barrymore, whom I've mentioned in blog articles, recently, in fact) and I think it was quite entertaining all around.

File Under Bulletin Board
I recently noticed that the woman I once knew whose image was on Clapton's "Slowhand" inside album jacket on my account (she's not the one in the photo showing Clapton kissing, that's Linda McCartney) has on her Facebook Info page something I recognize as being part of a line from the title song of my "Enough To Eclipse" CD (available at CD Baby). She seamlessly worked part of my song line into something about something, and you'd never know. Clapton once married George Harrison's ex-wife (could be I'm digressing again). I merely wish to acknowledge something that jumped off the page as far as I'm concerned, and don't believe I'm expressing an opinion.

Why Don't You Pour It In Jar
And finally, this videoclip regarding the Coen Brothers' "A Serious Man" in relation to my 1990/1992 video, "Steinhoff's Dostoyevsky's 'Uncle's Dream'" (posted at Google Video in 2005, and later posted at Archive.Org) requires an appreciation of the fact that certain ideas can emerge from a collective effect that aren't visible when seen with a piecemeal perspective. You might actually feel I'm dreaming to think this videoclip has anything serious, in response to which I might actually feel you can't be serious to believe I'm dreaming, and there we are, at the beginning of World War III.

Hugely Insignificant Addendum To Something That Meant Nothing In The First Place

A minor addendum to yesterday's minor addendum blog article (9/11/10, "Most Are Unaware Of The Evidence"). This will once again be for the benefit of those who know certain things that others do not, as is so often the case in life (far more often than what I would choose). Perhaps others will also find value here, more likely those who have reviewed a number of my blogs wherein I have been fortunate enough to have supporting evidence to provide, in that such people may feel a basis for having faith in my words at this time.

It has occurred to me, regarding my discussion yesterday of my expectation that the movie, "Everybody's Fine" would have contained something related to me/my material (as tends to be the case when a movie is made for which Paul McCartney contributes a song), yet seemingly did not, that there are several things I may have overlooked. These are possibilities, but possibilities I consider significant enough to relate. I already realize that, numerically speaking, there are fewer people who are "insiders" than there are "outsiders" to what I describe. Sometimes the football only needs to be received by one person.

Drew Barrymore, who is in this movie, previously made reference to my "Leonardoville" movie idea (a version of which is posted at Archive.Org) in her movie, "Ever After". "Leonardoville" regards a humorous imagining of the backstory behind the creation of the painting, "Mona Lisa". In "Everybody's Fine", we see at the end of the movie, as a major closing moment, the significance of the backstory to a painting.

Additionally: I have previously asserted that a number of Beatles songs grew out of a 15-page story I wrote when I was in the 5th grade, "Endless Voyage," how this story involves a pill that, when taken, makes it so that one can breathe water but never breathe air again. In "Everybody's Fine," we find that Drew Barrymore's character has a job performing as a mermaid. Mermaids breathe water. Also, pills are given an extremely special place in the movie's plot, regarding the life and death aspect in relation to De Niro's character not having his pills (not to mention the drug overdose juxtaposed in relation to this, if one construes it this way).

If these things were included for my benefit, and I have a considerable number of reasons to believe they may well have been, or even if I see that only as a significant possibility, I would have to feel some kind of obligation to make an acknowledgment, which is the primary role of this article. Clearly such acknowledgment comes with a cost, in terms of how it must make me seem to the "outsiders".

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.
