Here's my art car encased in ice! I have never experienced what they call an ice storm before but I think that's kind of what this is. You can hear the crackling in the trees of the branches of the ice and it's kind of like freezing rain that falls down and everything is super shiny and slick. Even the rocks on the ground which you can normally grip on are just like as slippery as butter basically! #goddesskring

I'm going through a lot of diagnostics and assessments. happy that my health insurance covers this. seeing if I'm on the autism spectrum in a gifted artistic kind of way. fascinated by all the quizzes and tests I've taken over the last several weeks. they say in 2 weeks I will have a printed out assessment of what they think of my brain... pros and cons. when I was a kid my parents never wanted to have me tested for anything cuz I think they didn't want me labeled as anything... so at the age of 54 I decided to have this assessment done and it's been fascinating. I've been taking lots of quizzes answering 585 true and false questions solving puzzles drawing pictures responding to pictures and words telling stories,. reading stories...I also brought my artwork in to show the lady assessing me... she's training to be a clinical psychologist and her interviewing me several times have given has given her lots of data... so I find this whole process fascinating. My goal with this is to learn and grow from all of it and use the perspective that this person has on me as a way to move forward in my life as I step into the future. Seems to me I'm kind of an unusual 54-year-old... I mean everybody is unique but I like exploring my identity and figuring out who I am and what I want and the choices I've made make more and more sense the older I get I always wanted to make my art and share it with people more than I wanted to do traditional things like get married and have kids etc. And I've always wondered is it just because of the way my brain is or is it partly because of the challenges of the way that I was raised and my parents getting a divorce and various pros and cons of how I was raised challenges that I went through etc I'm just learning and growing as I go.... And most of my closest friends are rather eccentric creative trail blazing people that have their own way of doing things... The person assessing me- she's interviewed me a lot and I've shared my artwork and my video with her and then she's quizzing me and scoring me based on certain modules of assessments that give me a score but she's also basing it on her and her supervisors assessment of the answers I've given to lots of different questions and sharing about my entire life... my childhood, my personal life, my relationships, my family, my friends, my social way of interacting with people etc it's all been really fascinating. the lady assessing me says she's impressed with how self aware and sensitive and articulate i am- all good traits to have. so i cope very well overall with my challenges. my career as an art and medical model, artist and animal lover suits me very well. i enjoy lots of time solo doing my own thing and need rest and recharge time then love collaborating with like minded creative humans....people who "get me" are so precious to me. thanks everyone who "gets me" cheers! onward "kringonian pizzazz"!

Hand Painted Shoes

i want free speech to be kept ALIVE. we need differing ideas to be allowed otherwise we have repressive fascism
It's
the oldest trick in the book to accuse certain people of being a
certain way. When really you're the one who's that way. hypocrisy is
totally disgusting creepy, weird stuff. The abuse of power these days
is so obvious and out in the open. Yuck! Yuck, yuck. Would you like
fries with your wham bam? Thank you mam!!?
I was in a really
bummed out mood and something fun just happened... I just came back from
the clothing optional beach where I went to go relax and on the way
home I passed by the other lady that has a rhinestone car. she calls
it "Princess Sparkle Pony" she has the coolest car. her and I are the
two main rhinestone cars in the Art car community in Seattle!
Not
really sure where I belong but I do my artwork I take care of animals I
take care of house plants maybe that's it I don't know.
Blue and red makes purple. it's all just a bunch of purple purple drama drama drama.
Tom
Petty was ahead of his time ... There goes the last DJ who plays what
he wants to play, says what he wants to say Hey hey hey there goes your
freedom of choice. There goes the last human voice ....
Still
adjusting to not having a cat. it's so weird I keep looking for him...
I guess it'll take a while and I still feel disoriented after coming
back from being away for a week taking care of two big dogs. grateful
that tomorrow I get to start walking these two little dogs again that I
usually walk every week on certain days. the little dogs are going to
seem so tiny compared to the big dogs that I just took care of for an
entire week!

40 minutes i filmed yesterday: Up Up Up inc Circus Crane Show Seattle 2022
I had so much fun watching the up up up circus again tonight... i am
going to eventually edit my photos and videos in make a youtube clip of
them... Their comedy makes me laugh so loud! not everybody seems to
get that kind of comedy but I totally get it and I feel a kinship with
that sort of Carol Burnett Style.... I don't know what you call that!?
extremely absurd ridiculous and yet clever and then it gives me this
feeling like I'm in kindergarten again you know like when you're a
little kid... And you still just play with people and you're not afraid
of them making fun of you or judging you I had this feeling in
kindergarten before I learned how mean other little kids were before
people taunted me and picked on me and made fun of me I just remember
going up to other little kids and going hey want to play and like just
singing and dancing and doing funny little Make-Believe games with other
kids and I miss that so maybe I can find more adult friends that I can
do that kind of thing with... so that's why I love these performers so
much they remind me to just be free and play and enjoy being alive as a
human with humor and a playfulness literally as silly as that sounds... I
think that's mainly why I love them so much...they also are just gifted
with comedic timing and acrobatic athleticness and they all play
musical instruments and they sing and they dance and they act basically
it's all of it ...singing dancing acting and acrobatics... I think that
performing artists are my favorite kind of humans... they really truly
seem magical to me. And even though I'm a bit shy I think part of me
really does like to perform and wishes I could do more of it but I don't
know and then this other part of me just wants to hide and be quiet so I
guess those two parts of my personality conflict a bit with each other
and I guess they're both the real me I think!?

notes from the art fair "fresh paint" where my art car was on public display....
I just got some good feedback from a lady who really likes my art car... She was asking me what my goal was with my art car and what my focus is... am I like for hire to be Commissioned or what am I doing!? am I trying to sell my art am I just trying to entertain people am I trying to inspire people am I trying to spread positive energy or am I trying to get myself hired as an artist to put design on people's cars or paint their shoes or paint their hats etc I've always been a multimedia multifaceted kind of creative person thats scattered in all different directions and her and I talked a little bit about ADHD and OCD and being like kind of obsessed and scattered and creative and chaotic and how that could be a positive thing but then I can also be a negative thing if you don't know what your focus is and then people are confused and they don't understand what your point is and I guess that is some really good feedback for me although I guess it's it's obvious and I already know that but to have somebody reflect that back to me is helpful to me. I like the idea of being very self aware and trying to make the best out of my life and every day.
Maybe I'll do another video on a podcast on introvert and extrovert and ambivert personality types because I mostly an introvert I think but I kind of get energized by other people when it comes to performance whether I'm performing or I'm in the audience I feel kind of like I get energized from being like when I watched that circus show the other night I feel kind of energized by the crowd energy and the performers energy and I feel less shy when I'm around a bunch of performers almost like I want to jump on stage and perform with them even though part of me just wants to hide in the corner and take pictures so I'm some kind of combination of introvert and extrovert but I feel like what I really like to do is create things when I'm by myself and then share them with the public and then I like to go hide out again and I prefer spending time with just one friend at a time or by myself or with plants and animals and I don't really like being in big social groups much at all except it is really fun to hang out with other artists and Art car people and really creative people who love art and music and theater and dance etc all of the performing and visual arts and I love nature and quiet... And maybe I'm just wounded because I got picked on in school and my parents are both really intelligent and sensitive but they're both also very critical my parents are both very critical so I was raised with a certain kind of criticism and I feel very self-conscious and afraid of how I affect other people I worry about how I affect other people so when I'm around other people I tend to just be polite and I'm not sure how to fully be myself because I'm afraid if I myself I'll drive people nuts in fact some of my family and friends find me annoying because I do monologues I mean I literally do monologues and then other people think I'm really quiet all the time so it seems like I'm either really quiet or I do monologues but then again I do listen well and I do have good dialogue with some people... But then again I love to spend a lot of time with myself and just thinking and staring off into space and thinking and writing things down or recording my voice and my thoughts and my insights that's really what I like to do which is extremely introverted and introspective but then I have this urge to write things down and share it with whoever wants to read it so I don't know what that is that's kind of like what musicians and songwriters are like or writers or performers or actors maybe they like to explore their inner world and then express it out for whoever wants to experience it... And then learn from how people respond to me and how I respond to them and have relationships my artwork and the audience of my artwork and then my family and friends I guess I learned from different relationships but then again I feel shy and they say being introverted is different than being shy I know that I'm highly sensitive but maybe I don't need to label myself maybe I'm just a chameleon and I just change into all different kinds of personalities I really don't know maybe I don't need to figure this out I don't know...!?
Talked to a bunch of people here at the art show that my art car is in ...very nice people here... I'm really tired and look forward to going home and resting cuz I'm going to come back here all day tomorrow... so I'm not really an extrovert but I love sharing my art with people and talking to people who love artwork and there's lots of kids and this fun musical instruments Booth right next to me... where you get to make your own music and there was a bunch of kids there and I think I was the only adult that seemed to be goofing around with the stuff... I made a short video I'll share later....
Someone just interviewed me who does a radio show in San Antonio Texas I think but they're here visiting and so apparently I'm going to be on a radio show and a Facebook live video and he's going to tag me I forgot to get his name so hopefully that will air soon that's always fun cuz I'm a bit shy when people approach me which is funny cuz I used to do my own radio show remember and my own TV show and yet I'm kind of an introvert and yet I love talking about my art car so that was fun nice guy and his wife or girlfriend I'm not sure!? #goddesskring
Fresh Paint was August 20, 21st 2022 in Everett Washington. 30 miles north of seattle:
The art cars including mine are parked in Everett Washington USA right now at the corner of Hewitt Avenue and Rucker Avenue! Today 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and tomorrow Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. come check us out if you live nearby! And spread the word if you want there's a hundred art booths here it's called fresh paint art fair!
I'm feeling very introverted today so I'm at the public library being quiet while my art car is on display for the public to enjoy in Everett Washington on the corner of Rucker and Hewitt Ave. 10am to 5pm today...
Forgot to say that when I was in Langley on Whidbey Island yesterday two guys came up to me and saw my art car and said that they recognized me from public access TV from the 90s and they were a little bit Starstruck and felt like they were meeting a celebrity and that's always fun to hear and they told me they were glad that I was still around and somebody left a note on my car which I assume might be the same guy that said hi to me earlier in the day.... Maybe I should have done a selfie with the people that said that to me whenever anybody recognizes me from my TV show I should probably ask him hey want to do a selfie cuz it's just fun to kind of spread the joy in that way....
So I buried my cat and I visited my mom and I saw the circus performers up up up ... twice once on Whidbey Island and once in Everett and the Art car show is coming up and I must sleep... I'm really happy that I got to talk briefly to musician Jason Webley today who said that somebody that I introduced him to many years ago has led to all kinds of creative projects and I didn't know that so I'm really happy he said he really appreciates the support that I've given him he said I'm one of his bigger supporters... I remember I first heard him 23 years ago (1999) at the folklife festival and I've done lots of photos and videos of his concerts and spread the word about his wonderfulness as a live performer and musician and he's connected to the circus show... the up up up crane circus show they're all friends with Jason Webley and I'm not sure how they're all connected but they are and it's just a magical synchronistic feeling and I parked my art car right in front of where the circus was performing in Everett tonight so all kinds of people noticed my car and appreciated it... the rhinestones on my car just sort of fit right in with the magical creative energy of that circus show.... I took photos and videos of bits and pieces of the performance that I will share when I have time.... Still adjusting to life in my apartment without my cat but I am relieved that he is no longer in a body that isn't functioning... I'll just say that again I just have to keep telling myself about the new reality cuz when I come home I expect my cat to greet me and I miss that but again I'm glad he's resting in peace and something else fun is I found a really good deal on some of those lights that turn into all different rainbow colors and you can dim them so I'm playing around with some lighting in my bedroom and when I set it up I'll take photos and show you so it's been a really creative fun couple days I also had a modeling gig recently and I'm just really grateful for lots of things right now so good night everyone

Weird to see how many people have been fooled by thinking that we're being saved from corrupt people not realizing that corrupt people are trying to save us from corrupt people which is further corruption and yet I can see why people just want to go along with this and pretend like everything's okay and actually some people really believe that the good people are taking over thinking you have to take one side or the other not realizing that we're being manipulated into who we're supposed to blame everything on and use them as scapegoats and then turn a blind eye to actual corruption happening but then again I think all the people involved are corrupt on both sides and all sides need I say more in the United states but it's very very it's international actually but it's very disturbing to see what is happening and how many people just go along with things because people just want to feel safe and secure and believe in something and trust authority whereas I am always skeptical of authority always always skeptical of authority and yet it is really uncomfortable to not know for sure the absolute truth of who is doing what and why. But I will also assert that there are many good people in the world that are actually doing ethical things and helping things be good in the world and actually have wise smart intelligent ideas and actually respect each other's right to be an individual.
