Sea of Jay

TAKE IT FROM ME
Well, sadly, my idea for Saturday Night Live, presented in my blog immediately previous to this one, wasn't enough for Lorne Michaels. However, as predicted, a particle of it did make its way into the show.

Excerpt from my 1.16.10, 12:05 am blog:
So they make their plea to Lorne Michaels, who gives in ("Now you're absolutely sure it was the ghost of Ted, right?").

This excerpt refers to Lorne Michaels stating that he will include something on the show on the strength of Ted Kennedy's ghost requesting it. And this from the actual show that followed:



This is one instance among many that James Cameron has done something in relation to me, and regarding Mr. Michaels, one instance among many, many, many, many.

If word should somehow fail to circulate among every last citizen of Massachusetts that the future of healthcare in the U.S. will be in their hands on Tuesday (as explained in my previous blog, based on news articles), because the fact is my idea would surely have put knowledge of the significance of their election in EVERYONE'S face, instead of it being something known only to those who tend to follow the news and then vote.... oh well, there's always next time. Then again, would my idea necessarily have had a positive effect on the voters of Massachusetts and gotten them to vote in the Senate's 60th healthcare reform supporter?

Oh, and as I've stated many, many times before, yes, I know that the timestamp on these blogs are malleable, and that, therefore, as I had not yet forwarded that blog to one of my blog volumes posted at Archive.Org (where the timestamp is not malleable), only those who actually read that blog shortly after it was posted know that it truly preceded the Saturday SNL.

PLEASE BE SEATED
While driving Saturday I may or may not have seen Jay Leno and Eric Clapton.

• Eric Clapton (or his double, whatever), who has shown up in a few of my earlier blogs, was in a small gray sports car, and probably not playing guitar.

• Jay (or his double, whatever) was conspicuously low in his car seat. Interestingly, I had just had to readjust my own car seat an hour before, as someone had been working on my car (the XM radio I bought in 2001, when I was among XM's first 200 customers, had broken, therefore I had just bought a new one and had it installed).

Folded Hands

Leonardoville
I am pleased to announce the posting of something I wrote back in 1982, a section from an idea for a comedy about how Leonardo da Vinci came to meet and paint Mona Lisa. It is called, "Leonardoville," and is now available to read at Archive.Org. It is decidedly not for those who are pleased to see Mona Lisa only in the precise pose presented by da Vinci. Can one respect that work and its creator yet transplant them into something like, "Leonardoville"? Only if one feels certain that da Vinci and his Mona Lisa will endure in spite of my comedy. Yes, they will, I have not yet grown that influential!

To Your Health
After I read an article Friday, January 15th that made it clear exactly how precarious the current prospect of healthcare reform legislation has become, I devised an idea that may or may not help. I emailed this idea to an old friend of the Kennedy clan, someone who was in my class years and years ago at CalArts. This person always opens and reads the emails I send him (according to Didtheyreadit.com technology). I also sent the email to people who have great influence with Saturday Night Live, and who have, for years and years, been responsible for getting particles of ideas I send in for SNL onto that week's show:

"Due to the fact that the passage of healthcare reform OR NOT has suddenly become contingent on the outcome of the January 19th Senate race in Massachusetts for the seat left vacant by the death of Senator Kennedy, here is my extreme idea:

"A whole bunch of Kennedys appear in-person on a Saturday Night Live sketch tomorrow night. They have been called to action by the ghost of Ted Kennedy to do something at the 11th hour before it is too late. His idea is for them to all go on SNL and sing, "Can't Buy Me Love," his ghost promising that this will sway the Massachusetts voters and Coakley will win. So they make their plea to Lorne Michaels, who gives in ("Now you're absolutely sure it was the ghost of Ted, right?"). The Kennedys then sign "Can't Buy Me Love", completely out of tune. The room is dead silent. The ghost of Ted Kennedy is the only one who applauds, which he does with great enthusiasm. The Kennedy's turn to look at him, their expressions saying, 'bad idea.'"

Half The Wisdom Of Solomon Is Better Than Nothing
In my blog immediately preceding this one, I described how a certain individual appearing on a certain TV show secretly confirmed that a certain message I had left for a certain individual (Stuart Cornfeld, who runs RedHour with Ben Stiller) had been received. I also described how that individual appearing on that TV show would have been in that loop. A subsequent TV show appearance by that same individual just happened to include a piece of information that clearly suggested I should modify the loop description. Specifically, Maggie said her fiance is co-starring with Cruise, who is also slated to be in the movie about the grown up Hardy Boys, which RedHour (Cornfeld/Stiller) is producing, and which Stiller is co-starring in. Not to mention the Cruise/Spielberg connection, which is also of relevance to the matter at issue.

None of this has to do with Stiller's involvement with a Haitian charity, which preceded the current Haitian crisis, and which is now being redirected to assist with aid to those in Haiti now in need. Nothing contained in my message for Cornfeld can be seen as contributing anything in this direction. It does not take the wisdom of Solomon to appreciate that, though I am bothered that Cornfeld has failed to more directly respond to me, my issue does not rise to any level of real importance when seen alongside efforts to truly help. That is Stiller's baby, and more power to him.

Give My Regards To Silence

Despite this blog site's unfortunate limitation of not being able to testify as to when I post - it indicates time and date of posting, but apparently makes it my option as to what time and date are set - I will nevertheless be making this the new home of my "Monk" and other TV/movie videoclip postings.

My "Monk" videoclip postings help illustrate how almost every "Monk" episode ever made incorporates inside references to my material, possibly the result of (or initiated by) the fact that the former head of USA Networks (which makes "Monk") was the first person from whom I learned of the college I attended (CalArts). [On this subject, one may also wish to read my Oct. 26th blog, wherein I refer to how, at my 9-5, I also happen to be responsible for organizing the rebroadcast, to Kaiser Permanente employees throughout Southern California, an IHI satellite broadcast of a conference program that includes an appearance by Tony Shaloub (star of "Monk") in a comedy sketch, occurring in several weeks.]

Up until now I have been posting these TV/movie types of videoclips at YouTube rather than at archive.org where I tend to post my works of a more independent significance. YouTube is now a problem. I was notified by YouTube that, per Fox, I had violated their rules with the posting of a "Simpsons" clip (which I posted because it was related to my other "Simpsons" clips). I have subsequently removed all of my "Simpsons" clips from YouTube. In a description I had posted at YouTube that went with the posting of one of my "Simpsons" clips, I pointed out that whenever "The Simpsons" makes inside references to my material, it tends to also involve "Limbo", a CalArts student film my class made in 1973-1974 (also related: during the '70s a supervising director of "The Simpsons" used to live down the hall from me at CalArts, the two of us knowing people in common). YouTube automatically testified to/posted intransmutably the date of this "Limbo" tendency reference regarding "The Simpsons". Two weeks later a "Simpsons" episode featured Homer doing the limbo dance (while singing the limbo dance song). This tended to substantiate my statement regarding what I saw going on with "The Simpsons". The chronology of my statement was important.

Prior to the days when I would post my "Simpsons" clips on YouTube, I would email my "Simpsons" videoclips to a former CalArts classmate who had also been involved with the "Limbo" scenes referenced (I emailed these clips to at most three other people). This individual is a friend of Senator Kennedy (his father once was a famous senator with whom Kennedy co-sponsored more bills than with anyone else), and although this former classmate and I were never more than acquaintances, I felt it noteworthy, as "The Simpsons" is the only show to feature a Ted Kennedy character (the Mayor of Springfield). I also consider it noteworthy that this former classmate had years ago incorporated an inside reference to my contribution to "Limbo" on a TV show he produced, on the same exact episode that included a Senator Kennedy guest appearance. [Perhaps at some future time I will go into my various "Kennedy Connections".]

PRECISELY TWO MINUTES before YouTube sent me the email indicating I was in violation due to the "Simpsons" clip, my "Didtheyreadit.com" technology (a technology I use and inform people I use) indicated to me that this same former classmate had reopened an email I had once sent him (excluding a few Obama/Kennedy subjects, I have only sent this individual "Simpsons" related emails). The next "Simpsons" TV episode was about Lisa Simpson receiving a secret message from Homer via a crossword puzzle published in a magazine (Homer had arranged it with the people who created the crossword puzzle).

Some may expect this to leave me with the sense that inside references should not be made public. That as I point attention to the references, I nevertheless should not try to prove that I know what I'm talking about. That if people make fortunes from my ideas, this fact can be buried by (1) mixing together in one's mind these idea-usage occurrences with things that are nothing more than inside references, and (2) burying/eliminating the evidence that these idea usages and inside references are even taking place. Assassinate my character/ intelligence/ credibility, all with my willing consent by engaging my complicity in a Mafia-like code of silence.

It should be pointed out that this former classmate might have somehow been tricked into performing his "Simpsons"-related act (opening a "Simpsons"-related email exactly two minutes before I was sent the "Simpsons"-related violation notice from YouTube) when he did. It would not have been difficult for someone on the inside to have set him up to appear guilty. Yet at the same time, one might have to consider that this same former classmate is also a longtime friend of Craig Bronfman, whose family-owned Seagrams bought Universal when Spielberg was there. Spielberg would be among those with the most to gain by cajoling me into this code of silence "game" - though I also sometimes wonder why Spielberg so often chooses to be influenced by my material, which in a non-corrupt world would make him seem quite guilty to any intelligent person in possession of the easy-to-access (at least for now) facts. I see where it may all be seen as a friendly sort of thing in the end (see previous blogs for references to Cornfeld and Daniel, two Spielberg & Steinhoff-related people). Who needs money?

The following videoclip relates the November 28, 2008 "Monk" episode to my 1998 "Gosk" material (my three most referred-to works are my "Gosk", "Uncle's Dream" and "Mall Man" videos):





And finally, a follow-up to my previous blog of November 22nd. In that blog I made reference (and provided a link) to the music video for my song, "The Gravity". That song includes a description of waiting a ridiculous amount of time for my waitress to return with the check, yet she leaves the restaurant without bringing me my check. That very same night (11.22.08), "Saturday Night Live" performed a comedy sketch in which Fred Armisen played a character waiting a ridiculous amount of time for his pizza in a restaurant/bar, until he leaves without it. Those who have been following my blogs would not have difficulty connecting these (though those seeing my November 22nd blog for the first time after November 22nd would unfortunately have no evidence of the chronology of events just described).
