that is not your business

I can still "remember" Jim Shea mentioning that song "Moving In Stereo." He was astonished that I had never heard it before. I had never listened to The Cars until after I knew Jim Shea and that conversation in 1988.

The Cars is the first studio album by American new wave band The Cars, released in 1978. (see 1978 in music). In 2003, the album was ranked number 282 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. "Moving in Stereo" was used as the theme for Phoebe Cates' famous pool scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High


There also is something curious about these figures. I have been thinking a lot about that band Oingo Boingo too and how much I enjoy their music. The figures work out with a 0.59 relationship with Phoebe Cates birthday and when I returned to Earth on 4/14/1977. When anchored to her birth date, the figures point to a date 3 weeks, 3 days, after I returned from my mission to eliminate the threat from the comet.

From 3/3/1959 to 6/22/1982 is: 8512 days
From 4/14/1977 to 5/8/1977 is: 24 days, or 3 weeks and 3 days

From 7/16/1963 to 5/8/1977 is: 5045 days
5045 / 8512 = 0.59

Nothing To Fear is the second album by Oingo Boingo, released in 1982 on A&M Records.

Released June 22, 1982



The USS Arleigh Burke DDG-51 was commissioned so close to when Phoebe Cates was 335.9 months old. She was that age 9 days, or 0.3 month, after the 7/4/1991 commissioning date. I wrote earlier about the relationship of “An Officer And A Gentleman” star Debra Winger’s age to hers and then to when I first flew a jet aircraft by myself on 5/1/1967.


This is a very interesting detail to note. The difference between this actress’s birthday and Phoebe Cates birthday, when divided by 2, is 359. That is especially interesting considering the roles Connie Nielsen portrayed in “Gladiator” and “Mission To Mars.” In “Gladiator,” she was the daughter of the King and also the mother of the son of the character Russell Crowe portrayed. That actor who portrayed his son also portrayed the son of the character Bruce Willis portrayed in “Unbreakable.” In “Mission To Mars,” she portrayed the wife of the astronaut who led the mission to Mars, although he died before they made it to the planet.

From 7/16/1963 to 7/3/1965 is: 718 days
718 / 2 = 359

Connie Inge-Lise Nielsen (born July 3, 1965) is a Danish actress.
...
In 2000 she became known to worldwide audiences as Lucilla in Ridley Scott's internationally acclaimed Academy Award-winning epic Gladiator, where she starred opposite Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix. She has since then starred in some notable American films, including Mission to Mars (2000), One Hour Photo (2002)



The actress who portrays the wife of the character Bruce Willis portrays in "Unbreakable" also has a logical connection to my birthday and Phoebe Cates birthday.

From 3/3/1959 to 4/8/1966 is: 2593 days
2593 * 0.593 = 1537

From 3/3/1959 to 5/18/1963 is: 1537 days
From 5/18/1963 to 7/16/1963 is: 59 days

Robin Virginia Gayle Wright Penn (born April 8, 1966) is an American film actress who first became famous on television, playing Kelly Capwell on the soap opera Santa Barbara. She shot to stardom after her roles as Buttercup in The Princess Bride and Jenny in Forrest Gump, the latter role garnering her a Golden Globe Award nomination for best supporting actress.


According to information I found on the internet, Phoebe Cates is married to Kevin Kline and I found it interesting how his birthday compares to mine. If his birthday was 3 days earlier, he would be 593 weeks older than I am.

From 10/24/1947 to 3/3/1959 is: 4148 days, or 592 weeks and 4 days


In keeping with the theme of Phoebe and the moon, I find myself thinking a lot about a track from a Foreigner album, as well as the titles of other tracks on that album. The thought occurred to me that I had known her for a while already and I was waiting for her to turn 18 because I was going to start dating her. Something about I thought she was as glorious as when I was approaching the Saturn moon Phoebe on 6/7/1976. The title of the album also makes me think about how I think I am the 4th of 7 paternal siblings.

4 is the fourth album by American rock band Foreigner, released in 1981. Several singles from the album were successful, including "Urgent", "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "Jukebox Hero".

Released July 2, 1981

Girl On The Moon

Its night, again
Time for my mind to go wandering
Off on a journey, through space and time
In search of a face I can never find
So I close my eyes and look inside

I cant forget
The night that I saw her we never met
She felt so close to me as I reached for her hand
She drifted away like the desert sand
It was her and she was gone

I wish shed come back tonight
Like a star shining bright
I dont know where shes from

Shes like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon
Shes like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon

Yeah its night, once again
And that same old feeling is setting in
It all seems so familiar but I hope this time
That the girl on the moon will soon be mine
All mine, tonight

Am I asking too much
Should I leave my dream untouched
Should I even know where shes from

My, girl on the moon
Shes my girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Fille sur la lune
Girl on the moon
Fille sur la lune



The thoughts have also occurred to me that NASA is releasing the photos I took of Mars and the Saturn moon Phoebe, but in the context of the known space craft that have been out there. For example, there is this photo of Mars that I think about a lot. I combined with a photo I came across of USS Samuel B. Roberts FFG-58 recently, which I noticed after that journal entry about the Mars photo, and I found the similarity interesting. I had noted earlier in my journal because I puzzled over whether there were foot prints in the soil. But it could have been tracks from the rover. That Mars photo does also remind me of that scene from the 1977 “Star Wars” with “Luke Skywalker” watching the multiple suns setting on “Tatooine.”



















Another very interesting detail is that Phoebe Cates was 59 months, 3 days, old on 6/19/1968. That is the date I have written about when I think I earned my first Medal Of Honor during the Vietnam War. I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire though and was rescued by Lt. Clyde Everett Lassen from extremely hostile territory, for which he also received the Medal Of Honor. I think I was out there at that time because of the timing of the operation in relation to 5/1/1967. I have found clues that associate details about my life to the namesake for Lt. Lassen, the USS Lassen DDG-82, as well as the space shuttle flight STS-82. I am thinking that someone arranged for me and Phoebe Cates to meet because of the connection of those dates.


I can’t remember now why I started to focus on 5/1/1967 as the day I first flew a jet aircraft. It just came to me. I found it easy to believe though because in my artificial and symbolic memory, my first vehicle was a red, 1967 Ford pickup. And then somehow I started looking at 5/1/1967 because that was 59 days after my 8th birthday on 3/3/1967. The red color of that 1967 pickup suggests to me that is a symbol for high-performance and that it signifies a supersonic jet fighter. The reason I think it was a fighter is because it was a pickup. The cargo bed of a pickup could symbolize how the fighter jet carries weapons on it fuselage. I think my father drove an 18-wheel freight truck because that symbolizes a large bomber or transport plane. It probably means I have flown both or my family thought I flew a transport plane for FedEx, for example, while I was really a pilot in the military. I puzzled over the significance of that red, 1990 Mazda RX-7 and I finally decided that it represents the stealth fighter and/or bomber. I couldn’t reconcile the RX-7 as a fighter because it wasn’t a pickup truck. But then I thought about how it was a hatchback and the thing about the stealth fighter, the F-117, is that all the weapons are stored internally, or so I understand. I also had a burgundy 1992 Plymouth Voyager so I guess that represents something about the space ship I had for the mission to the comet.

From 5/1/1967 to 6/19/1968 is: 415 days, or 59 weeks and 2 days


When I earlier started having thoughts that Phoebe Cates might actually be married, those thoughts followed with "don't get your hopes up" as though someone is preparing me for the reality of losing her again, as in "Cast Away." The thoughts persist though. There's not so much an urgency to the thoughts, but they are clear thoughts, again as though some part of my consciousness that still remembers my real identity is giving me another clue to my real life. It could be that we really are married and she is waiting for me to finish this deployment and return home. It could be that the house I have had the recurring dreams about for almost the past decade I have been 100% deployed is a house we lived in.
"The Inner Light" is the twenty fifth episode of the fifth season of the science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the penultimate episode of the season.

Airdate June 1, 1992

...
The Enterprise-D is followed by a space probe. When the probe scans the ship, Picard staggers and is rendered unconscious.

He wakes to find himself being tended to by a women, who tells him he has come out of a fever. She refers to him as Kamin, and claims to be his wife. He establishes that he is on a non-federation planet called Kataan, and sets about finding a way to send a message. Outside he meets a man by the name of Batai, who is troubled by his strange questions and apparent lack of memory. Picard visits a lookout offering a view of the town of Ressik. Later his "wife" tells him that he works as an ironweaver and he enjoys practicing the flute. He notices she is wearing an necklace with a decoration in the shape of the probe.


I always thought the woman “Picard” was married to looked familiar, in the context of my artificial identity. She resembled a woman named Liz Lumadue that I went out. I met Liz at the bank where we both worked. That is probably an important clue but I am not entirely sure what it could mean.

Eline was a native of Kataan who lived in the community of Ressik. She was the wife of Kamin, the identity under which Jean-Luc Picard experienced a lifetime of memories in 2368 after encountering a probe launched from Kataan.

Eline had been in love with Kamin for quite some time, since she was the age of seven. Kamin's first gift for his wife was a necklace that resembled the Kataan probe.

Eventually, they got married and after 8 years had two children together, Meribor and Batai, named after a mutual friend of the same name, who died a few years later.

Kamin was very fond of Eline's cooking, especially liking her soup. When he was ill, she refused to take him to the hospital but nursed him back to health herself. She thought of him as the best iron weaver in the whole community and always had to put away his shoes for him, as he always forgot to.

She had undergone surgery late in her life and only partially recovered, dying a short while later and leaving Kamin to bear witness to the death of their culture. (TNG: "The Inner Light")


Eline was played by Margot Rose. In Morgan Gendel's never produced sequel to "The Inner Light", the Enterprise found Eline in suspended animation. [1] The probe-shaped necklace that Eline wore was auctioned off in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction.



Kamin was an ironworker on the planet Kataan sometime during the 14th century.
In 2368 the USS Enterprise-D encountered a probe launched from Kataan shortly before their sun went nova. The probe initiated a memory transfer with Captain Jean-Luc Picard and in less than 30 minutes he experienced a full 25 years of Kamin's life, including his marriage to Eline and the birth of their children.

However, Picard's former life was not completely obscured during the memory transfer and he retained many of his former interests, such as astronomy and music. During the period he experienced Kamin's life Picard struggled to master the Ressikan flute, made observations of the stars from Kataan, and conducted studies of the soil and climate of the planet. By the time his grandson was born Kamin had concluded that Kataan was a dying planet. He lived just long enough to witness the launch of the probe that he would encounter aboard the Enterprise several hundred years later. (TNG: "The Inner Light")



3 weeks, 2 days, before Phoebe Cates turned 359 months old, was this episode:

Airdate May 24, 1993

Second Chances is a sixth season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.



Brief Synopsis
Returning to the site of an eight-year-old mission, Commander Riker encounters an identical double of himself, who tries to rekindle a relationship with Troi.


She was 333 months old on 4/16/1991.

Q-Pid is an episode from the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was the 20th episode of the 4th season, aired on April 22, 1991.
...
Q returns to repay Captain Picard for saving him in "Déjà Q." Picard requests nothing, so Q decides to save Picard from himself by testing Picard's love for his old flame Vash.

On stardate 44741.9, Captain Picard is preparing to give a seminar to several experts in archaeology, including Kloff-Von-Droff, Swizer, and McFarland (Picard notes that they are "giants in the field of archaeology"). However, his ex-girlfriend Vash appears (see "Captain's Holiday") before the conference aboard the Enterprise. Vash states that she came in through the "window". Vash instigates an argument (asking why he never spoke of her with his friends), and although Picard still loves Vash, he is not willing to apologize.

After the dispute, Q appears and notices that Picard has fallen in love with Vash, but Picard denies this. Q is determined to show Picard the danger of his attraction to Vash. Q transports the bridge crew to medieval England where Captain Picard is Robin Hood and the bridge crew are the merry men (Worf, however says "Sir, I protest! I am not a merry man!").

Q assumes the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham and has imprisoned Vash, now Maid Marian. Picard must rescue Vash as she is sentenced to die for treason.

At the end, Picard frees Vash and admits that he loves her. Vash loves him too, but she goes away with Q, who has become intrigued by her.




The actress who portrays "Vash" is 5 years, 9 weeks, 3 days, inclusive, older than Phoebe Cates.

It was on Risa that Vash also met Captain Jean-Luc Picard, himself on shore leave from the USS Enterprise-D. After initial conflict the two found themselves kindred spirits of a sort and began a romantic relationship.

Picard and Vash parted, recognizing that their lifestyles were incompatible. But their attraction was heartfelt, and each continued to remember the other fondly. (TNG: "Captain's Holiday")

A year later Vash reappeared in Picard's life when she attended the annual Federation Archaeology Council symposium hosted by the USS Enterprise in orbit of Tagus III. Her unannounced visit surprised Picard, who greeted her warmly. However, the warmth between them faded slightly when Vash found that Picard had never mentioned her to his colleagues after meeting her on Risa.



And that part about "Picard" never mentioning her to people he knew. That reminds me of when, in my symbolic and artificial memories, Tracie told me that Bobbilynn had never mentioned me when I was dating Bobbilynn and she found that odd because they were best friends. I also felt disappointment because I wondered why Bobbilynn would not have mentioned me to her. I was always disappointed that I was not still involved with Bobbilynn when Tracie and I were dating and then married.

When I first started reviewing that episode “Captain’s Holiday,” I was puzzling over it from the context of my artificial memories. I was “remember” a time at a dance club called the Phoenix near the airport in Greenville. I can “remember” sitting in that club with some friends, such as Barbara Kelly, and we were talking to the lead singer of the band. Barbara explained that he was her hair dresser at his day job, although that band was all lip-synchers, I think. I can still visualize it all, but it is all most certainly fiction in my mind. I “remember” one time I was talking about how I liked the band The Cure and he was surprised that I would like that kind of music. I “remember” that Barbara’s boyfriend seemed to be jealous of the time we spent together, judging by his comments that were something about me being the button-down-shirt type and how she probably liked that. These all seem like trivial memories, but they must be something important to my real identity. Why else would I remember any of it? All these artificial and symbolic memories were taught to me at some point in 1998 after the medical procedure that suppressed my real memories.
