Eman Linked To Nicki Minaj?

2011-12-24T22:56:00.003-05:00

Onika Tanya Maraj, better known as Nicki Minaj, is being linked to Environment Man. The hip hop world rumor mill is not confirming whether the link is professional or romantic. Reps for both would not comment for the record. Their fans want to know if they will perform together in 2012.

Minaj achieved commercial success after releasing three mixtapes between 2007 and 2009 and being signed to Young Money Entertainment in August 2009. Minaj released her debut album, "Pink Friday" in November 2010. It quickly became a commercial success, peaking at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a month after its release.

Wachowski Brothers To Cast Eman in New Matrix Trilogy?

2011-12-12T16:00:00.004-05:00

Rumors are running rampant about the prospects for a new Matrix Trilogy. The original trilogy transformed the brothers from small-time carpenters to fabulously wealthy and powerful Hollywood players. The Wachowski Brothers have become more reclusive since the first Matrix came out in 1999. They haven't given an interview in four years, and under an unusual deal with Warner Brothers, they never have to talk to the press. Anyone who works on a film with them is made to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

Eman is just as reclusive as the Wachowski Brothers. He too requires anyone who works with him to sign a nondisclosure agreement. Yet these two camps appear to be on the verge of collaborating on the next Matrix Trilogy. It is being rumored that Eman is being considered to appear in the next 3 films. The nature of his participation is a highly guarded secret. However, Eman's cult following hopes that he will have an acting role as well as performing musical numbers. Imagine Eman jamming for the machines on the machine world.

Joel Silver is the power behind the Wachowski Brothers. He could also become the power behind Eman. Silver gave his blessing to a small, independent film the Wachowski's had written, "Bound,' a crime drama about two lesbians stealing from the mob. Eman loves the film.

Romantic Link Between Eman & Michelle Rodriguez?

2011-11-19T01:56:00.004-05:00

Eman is being romantically linked to hot tomboy actress Michelle Rodriguez. Eman is very reclusive and has a strict policy of not talking about his private life. Maybe that is why the paparazzi have not captured the rumored couple together. Regardless of the situation, Michelle would be a great mate for Eman.

Michelle Rodriguez was in the epic 3D film, Avatar, playing the role of a Marine helicopter who is stationed on the planet of Pandora. Her character Trudy Chacon is in the same vein as most of her characters from past films, the hot tomboy or the bombshell with muscle. Michelle Rodriguez has perfected this particular brand of feminine machismo.

Rodriguez also appeared in the blockbuster hit The Fast and the Furious (2001), and Resident Evil (2002).

Environment Man on Oprah's Next Chapter?

2011-11-19T00:06:00.005-05:00

The Hollywood rumor mill is hot with news about Eman possibly appearing on "Oprah's Next Chapter," which debuts on New Year's Day. The two-hour premiere will air at 9 p.m. and will feature Oprah with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.

Oprah's Next Chapter will feature Oprah talking to people outside of the studio. Eman is the ultimate outdoorsman and if he chooses to appear on the new show, it will surely include an interesting location. Think Cheasapeake Bay or Catalina Island.

According to Oprah:

"After 25 years I got myself out of the studio chairs. I moved into the next chapter, and I am having more fun than ever -- moving around the country and the world talking to people I'm really interested in getting to know and I think viewers will be, too.”

Eman's dynamic performances and cult following could boost the network's young network's ratings.

Lisa Jackson on "Real Time With Bill Maher"

2011-10-21T17:16:00.008-04:00

Environment Man Should Have Been Warm-Up Act

EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson appeared on HBO's Bill Maher Show last night [October 21, 2011] and she aggressively represented the importance of EPA regulations. Administrator Jackson talked about the politicization of our environment under the House Republican's pseudo-jobs plan, “Too Dirty to Fail,” which she discusses in her oped in the LA Times. Jackson noted that "Pollution affects red states and blue states alike, and it is time to stop politicizing our air and water." LPJ was last on Real Time on Oct 2 2009.

Fine. But the people wanted Eman to perform. His cult following in the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood were anticipating that the Emeister would perform his smash hit, "Lisa Jackson."

Eman Measures His Existence Based on the Moon

2011-08-03T22:14:00.007-04:00

Environment Man measures his existence on the orbit of the Moon around the earth and on the rotation of the Moon. Of course, it is extremely difficult for the average human to calculate the number of Moon years of one's existence. The mystery of Eman continues.

The rotation of the Moon – or a lunar day – lasts around 27.3 days. This is the same amount of time the Moon takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. Because the rotation of the Moon and the length of its orbit are exactly the same, the Moon always presents the same face to the Earth.

Imagine that the Moon and the Earth are connected with an imaginary cable. The cable is bolted down on the Moon, but it’s connected to a ring around the Earth. So, the Earth can rotate at its own speed of turning once every 24 hours, and the Moon can go around it once every 27 days. But the Moon always shows the same face towards the Earth. (Universe Today, 8/23/2011)

Environment Man In The Organic Garden: Garden of Nede

2011-08-01T13:00:00.006-04:00

In a time of global climate change, debt debates, inner city murder, unemployment and terrorism, a superhero has emerged to mitigate the corrosion. Nuclear powered and photovoltaically tanned, Environment Man is friend to the poor, enemy of the evil doers, and dangerous to those ruining the Earth.

Of course, a superhero must have his down time. Eman retreats to his backyard garden to tend the corn, squash, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, watermelons, canteloupes, cucumbers, broccoli and flowers. It recharges his lithium ion battery. Moreover, security lighting is provided by solar powered motion lights.

The backyard and garden are wildlife and plant reserves. Squirrels munch the corn and tomatoes. Groundhogs munch the broccoli. The deer eat the melons whenever the opening door is left open.

And then there is the organic fence, constructed from wood products from the nearby forested area.

After a hard day of climate fighting and private sector challenges, Eman retreats to his very own fortress of solitude.

Wind propelled and mobile via plug-in hydrogen fuel cell hybrid electric environmentmobile, E-Man wants the public to know this:

"It is now, it is always, it will be.....Environment Man."

Earth Day: Eman On Mall With Lady Gaga & Charlie Sheen?

2011-04-11T22:58:00.008-04:00

Earth Day On The National Mall Environment Man To 'Blow The Roof Off The Sucka" Rumors are running rampant in the Nation's Capital that Eman will perform on Earth Day with Lady Gaga and Charlies providing backing vocals and instrumentation. Telephone. Winning. Bad Romance? Regardless, Eman tells us that he is 'ready to go.' E says that he intends to 'rock Lincoln in his memorial.'

The rumored set list includes Eman's mega hits "Lisa Jackson" and "Global Warming.' His ten minute set will include these numbers and Eman just might perform "Toxic Waste." Eman's spokepeople have shared that Eman is saving his super hit "Acid Rain" for a nighttime gig somewhere at one of Washington, DC's underground venues.

Eman To Be Music Host For Sheen's Korner?

2011-03-10T08:03:00.006-05:00

Winning

Hollywood rumor mill has Environment Man as music/guru co-host of Sheen's Corner

UPDATE: WILL EMAN OPEN FOR SHEEN ON HIS TOUR?

Charlie Sheen's internet show, Sheen's Korner, is a huge worldwide hit. Methane is not discussed but passed. No hydraulic fracturing needed by Charlie and his posse. Rumor has it that Eman might be joining that posse via live Skype from his Santa Catalina Island single wide retreat. Will Natalie Kenly provide background vocals. Inquiring minds want to know.

Sheen, right, is at the top of his gaem with estimates of 100 million tuning in for his new online show. Eman , left, should easily bring millions more to that count. Eman's chat board cult status should propel the show to new heights. An E spokesperson says possible discussions about possible particulars are possibly being worked out now. Asked why Eman prefers to appear from his island retreat instead of Sheen's Beverly Hills mansion, Eman stated, "Technology makes it possible for me to be there without burning fossil fuels."

Eman is possibly considering the possibility of developing programming for billionair Mark Cuban's HDNet. Charlie is talking to Cuban about a new show too, but Charlie is under contract to CBS and Warner Brothers. "Dan Rather Reports" is on HDNet.

Environment Man To Perform at American Music Awards?

2010-11-01T23:40:00.005-04:00

Rumor has it that Environment Man will take to the stage at the American Music Awards live from the Nokia Theatre on November 21. Eman is the latest musician announced as a performer on the show, joining Bon Jovi, Pink and Usher.

Environment Man To Play Gig at Stewart - Colbert Rally?

2010-09-18T12:36:00.002-04:00

Comedy Central, which is owned by Viacom, will stage a National Mall Rally on October 30, that will feature both its late-night hosts, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. "The Daily Show's" Stewart announced on his show that his Rally to Restore Sanity, a.k.a. a Million Moderate March is:

"a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs), not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority."

Stephen Colbert counters:

"On October 30, 2010, I am calling for the nation to join me on the Washington Mall for the March to Keep Fear Alive. Shame on you, Jon Stewart -- America cannot afford a rally to restore sanity in the middle of a recession. . . . Did you even consider how many panic-related jobs that might cost most of us in the fear-industrial complex?"

Although the permit has not yet been issued, there aren't any hugely outstanding issues that would prevent or bar the signing of a permit. Although both Stewart and Colbert mentioned the Mall in their announcements, the permit application is for the north side of the Washington Monument grounds -- which does not include the Lincoln Memorial, Reflecting Pool or what is known as the Mall. Of course, that would put the White House in the background of the rally.
Eman
Although not yet confirmed, it is rumored that Environment Man's agent is in negotiations for him to play his 3-song set at the rally. Eman's three-song set includes:

1) "Mother Nature: You Were Always On My Mind,"

2) "Lisa Jackson," and

3) "Global Warming/Climate Change."

Environment Man Performs "Lisa Jackson"

2010-09-08T01:31:00.002-04:00

By Holly Wood

Our very own Eman has done it again and has written, performed and produced a great song about U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. Environment Man was joined in performing the tune by the international cult keyboardist & vocalist Dax.

Lyrics

Lisa's the administrator of the EPA
She's the top cop for Earth Day
Lisa is so smart and Lisa is cute
Pollution is her enemy and she is not mute

[Chorus: Lisa Jackson]

Lisa knows what to do for Super Fund
She loves Mother Nature and has polluters on the run
Lisa is so sweet but is sometimes sour
Cause she's the top cop with green power

[Chorus: Lisa Jackson]

Lisa is so sweet, but so intense
She's on the environmental beat with no pretense
Lisa is the administrator of the EPA
And she's gonna protect the Earth until her dying day

[Chorus: Lisa Jackson]

“What we would like to do is sing a song together

Now you see what usually happens is you get a group of people who might sing but for some unknown reasons that are not unknown anymore they won’t do it

Most of us need approval, most of us need to get a approval from our neighbours before we can let it all hang down

We would like to sing a song called ‘Higher’ and if we can get everybody to sing along we would appreciate it.

Just sing Higher and throw the peace sign up it’ll do you no harm

Still again some people feel they shouldn’t, because there are situations where you need approval to get in on something that could be sooo good

If you throw the peace sign up and say Higher and get everybody to do it, there’s a whole lot of people here and a whole of people might not want to do it because they can somehow get around it and feel there are enough people to make up for it and on and on. Etcetera, etcetera … Wow

Eman To Play 2010 Video Music Awards in Los Angeles

2010-07-31T22:21:00.008-04:00

More rumors have it that Environment Man will play at the 27th Annual MTV Video Music Awards on September 12, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Expect an eye-popping, unforgettable moment from Eman. Be there right for the opening of the show at 9 p.m. ET or you might miss it. This year, the show is returning to the West Coast after a stint in New York. The awards show will feature a mix of A-list presenters, performances from the biggest names in the industry and more of those unexpected moments that make MTV's awards shows the most fun of the year.

Eman will deliver the most talked about moment on TV at the VMA. Eman is going to up the ante on the star power and music that viewers expect to see. He promises you won't be disappointed.

Will Lady Gaga Go Green With Environment Man?

2010-07-24T19:12:00.000-04:00

Rumor has it that Eman, left, and Lady Gaga, right, have been cutting some monster tracks at Electric Ladyland Studios. Trying to maintain secrecy, Eman and Lady Gaga have been keeping a low profile in order to concentrate on the songs and videos. Clearly this collaboration will be the hottest thing to come out of Gagaland ever (if the rumors are real). Eman is attempting to enlist Lady G to join the fight against global warming. Our spies tell us that the duo are rerecording Eman's monster video "Global Warming/Climate Change." With Gaga's presentation and Eman's imagination, it will have to be something to behold.

Just as Lady Gaga was going to do some opening shows for Michael Jackson at London's O Arena, so too, we are hearing that Eman will do some opening sets for Gaga. Just one or two songs. Eman likes to get in and get out. It is rumored that Eman will rework "Susie Senstive" to "Lady Gaga" as an opening set song. And before you ask, there is no romance swirling between these two. I have special access to Eman and he has told me that he is committed to his chastity and I know he is not interested in marrying. Although our spies can neither confirm nor deny that TMZ paparazzi have photos of him consorting with Serena, Sandra and Elin around Tinseltown. Regardless, I can't wait to hear the track(s), see the video(s) and see the live gigs. This team will surely 'blow the roof off the sucker.'

Environment Man Wins Oprah's "Your Own Show" Search

2010-06-25T23:41:00.007-04:00

Oprah's Search for the next big star via her "Your Own Show" promotion has ended with the selection of Environment Man to host "The Never Ending Adventures of Environment Man." The show will run on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) at 11 p.m. starting on January 1, 2011. Eman entered his video in the 'Wildcard' category and worldwide reaction was overwhelming. Millions of video views and votes put Eman over the top.

Oprah and reality TV super producer Mark Burnett joined forces in search of the next big TV star. They believe Eman's big personality and big dreams for himself produced the chutzpah that gave him the BIG BREAK. EMan states that, "this is the chance of a lifetime to host my own TALK show...on OWN. I know I have "IT" and now I can show "IT" to the world." The voters have spoken and Eman cannot wait to share his adventures around the world with his fans around the world.

"The Never Ending Adventures of Environment Man" will also feature The Ecology Band.

Disclaimer: This is a spoof. It is a goof and internet abuse and a pathetic attempt at shameless self promotion. Hopefully this disclaimer will satisfy Oprah's legal team.

Lets see now if I recall this correctly......

Eman, above, was found as a child in the forest after a meteor hit the Island of Catalina (the source unknown).. He lived as did most of the spoiled rich children there did but he knew early on that possessing super powers, which he could not reveal, made him somewhat different & by necessity aloof from the other spoiled rich children.

Having lettered & scored in every sport in high school & went on to score w/ classmates & every other girl @ school....with few challenges left he went on to college where he decided to take on the ultimate challenge... Change American environmental policy..

& the rest is history...................

Large Hadron Collider Seeks Higgs Boson [and Eman?]

2008-07-25T21:56:00.006-04:00

Physicists will collide protons in October in a supercooled magnet tunnel tube that is 17 miles around and 350 feet below the borders of Switzerland and France. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)[don't ask why the acronym does not fit the organization name]. The facility cost about $6 billion to build. It is funded and built in collaboration with over two thousand physicists from thirty-four countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. Remember the USA cancelled its planned Superconducting Super Collider in Texas.

It is theorized that the collider will produce the elusive Higgs boson. The verification of the existence of the Higgs boson would be a significant step in the search for a Grand Unified Theory, which seeks to unify three of the four known fundamental forces: electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force, leaving out only gravity. The Higgs boson may also help to explain why gravitation is so weak compared to the other three forces. In addition to the Higgs boson, other theorized novel particles that might be produced, and for which searches[4] are planned, include strangelets, micro black holes, magnetic monopoles and supersymmetric particles.

Golfing Environment Man Does 72 Holes in 2 Days

2008-07-02T09:45:00.010-04:00

May. Massanutten Resort. I played 36 holes of golf each day for two days. Did not think I could do it but I managed. 18 holes in the morning. Lunch. And then 18 holes in the afternoon. Massanutten Resort is nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and is also a ski resort.

I played four unique courses:

1) Woodstone Meadows At Massanutten Resort

2) Mountain Greens At Massanutten Resort

3) Heritage Oaks Golf Course

4) Packsaddle Ridge Golf Club

Packsaddle Ridge Golf Club was a relatively new course and was clearly the most interesting. Some rich guy bought the area, designed and built the course. It has a cliff hole par 3 that is breathtaking.

Although I played horribly, it definitely helped me for the rest of the golfing season.

Eman Profile - Post Ironic

2008-06-14T08:02:00.006-04:00

Environment Man is the epitome of the post-ironic 21st century American cultural attitude. He's completely taken the entire history of American mass entertainment from country and western to Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders From Mars and the quirkiness of anti deep ecology environmentalism and melded it into a character that is completely contemporary.

Eman is pictured at right in Gort battle helmet with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at the State Department.

Indeed, what exactly is afoot with that self-immolating mongrel better known as an ‘American’ and who, for all of his delusional presumptions to offer enlightenment to our ever-dimming World, finds himself irretrievably prone to the annihilation of his own?"

I went to China back in March and saw some interesting musical talent. Of course Chtonic - pronounced "THON-nic" - is a Taiwanese extreme rock band and they are playing Ozzfest this year. This is one interesting band. Female bassist. Drummer with the mouth covering. KISS inspired. Keyboards integrated very well into metal genre (eat your heart out Van Halen). An erhu in metal rock. That is a first. Erhu (hena in Taiwanese) is a two-stringed traditional Chinese violin.

Guitarist Jesse (the Infernal), bassist Doris (Thunder Tears), keyboardist CJ (Dispersed Fingers) and drummer Dani (Azathothian Hands), Su-Nung (the Bloody String). Check'em out below:

My Crocs

2007-08-30T10:34:00.001-04:00

Environment Man's Corner. I bought a pair of Crocs at Wal Mart while visiting Asheville, North Carolina. They are the same color as the ones pictured at right. Crocs were launched in 1999 from Niwot, Colorado. Crocs exploded from $24,000 in 2002 to $810 imillion today. Crocs is a public company and they are expanding the brand into apparel.

They ARE so comfortable. The question is: are they environmentally friendly? They are made of plastic. Actually they are made of a water-resistant light weight derivative of pliable, plastic resin. I am not an enemy of plastic. It has actually made life much better for people worldwide. I am against it being tossed out as litter.

Houhai - One of My Favorite Spots in China

2007-07-23T21:14:00.000-04:00

With Zhang Xiaoping at Houhai Lake in Beijing

There is nothing in Hollywood like Houhai. Nothing. Live bands, bars, restaurants, a couple of lakes, dance halls and shops all in one compact spot. On a recent trip to Beijing, I enjoyed one of my favorite new hotspots in the whole world -- Houhai, which means "Back Lakes"

Beijing’s Houhai lakeside neighborhood north of Tiananmen Square attracted only park-goers, weekend fishermen, or ice skaters, only three years ago. Ex-concert cellist Bai Feng opened his No Name bar (it had no sign, but filled up via word-of-mouth) and the scene was set for a new generation of stylish establishments. Houhai and adjoining lakes Xihai and Qianhai— collectively known as the Back Lakes were dug out in the Yuan Dynasty (14th century) to berth barges from the Grand Canal.

Over the past year, the area has gone upscale and emerged as the capital’s coolest neighborhood, with scores of bars, restaurants, and boutiques catering to the city’s chic. The mix of bars, restaurants and shops makes this spot second to none. And it really comes alive at night. (Source: Ron Gluckman)

Bambi Is Killing My Garden

First it was the sunflowers. I built a bamboo fence around a second planting and the deer still had a feast on the sprouts. Now Bambi is eating my one tomato plant. And it was doing so well. It is eating the leaves off of my melons vines

I am having evil thoughts towards Bambi. Fortunately he/she does not eat squash or zucchini. Other pests are munching on my pepper and okra plants. The deer strike at night. I have a photovoltaic-powered light on at night but that does not seem to be a deterrent. I had small rocks at the tops of bamboo reeds to drop down if they were touched. That did not work.
