thoughts of shannon kringen

 

I've probably said this before I tend to be repetitive but here it is again! My first memory of wanting to be a performer or some kind of person that is in the public eye or that shares with an audience is seeing shirely temple on TV when I was a little kid and wanting to kind of emulate her wanting to sing and dance and act and sort of do show and tell the thing is I was very shy as a little kid but I had this secret fantasy that I could get a microphone and have my own like show and so I guess even as like a three or four or five year old I dreamed of showbiz and it wasn't until my twenties that I got my public access TV show that I literally did have my own TV show and I'm still sort of trying to dip my toes into the performing arts world with acting and singing and recording music and performing live and I guess art modeling for the last 33 years has also given me a taste of what it is to be on the model platform in front of students who draw I think of them like an audience but they're really I guess being an art model isn't really the same as being an actor but when I'm up there on the model stand I feel like an actor or I guess I fantasize that this is my starting off point of jumping off the diving board into literal acting and like saying words or singing or dancing in front of an audience and then when I'm in the Fremont summer solstice parade in Seattle on my bicycle and when I'm in the art car parades waving at people I feel like that's me being a performer I guess for some reason sometimes I'm just unaware of this and then I suddenly realize wait a minute not everybody wants to do all the things that I'm doing and I need to give myself credit for the courage it takes to do all the things I've done even though I'm a little shy but then I've heard other actors and singers and dancers and performers talk about the fact that they're kind of shy in a regular social way and yet they love being on stage or recording themselves or being photographed and that definitely fits my personality as well sort of an introverted extrovert or a slightly shy performer

I'm so grateful I just had a delightful time portrait modeling for some artists and when I told them that I do music and poetry and I have an art car and I used to do public access TV show they were fascinated by it as they were drawing me and painting the shapes of the planes of my face and talking about my bone structure and they were curious about my Norwegian heritage and trying to figure out how to draw and paint my features and it was so refreshing to be able to share my poetry book and the Seattle magazine article about me and show a link to my music they're going to check it out and they appreciated me sharing it so instead of interpreting me as narcissistic they interpreted me as an interesting person that was sharing with them so that is so refreshing when people are open to hearing about my creativity… They say it helps them draw me to know a little bit more about my personality…

i am an outsider who sees patterns, nature is flexible

i am an outsider who sees patterns, nature is flexible
https://youtu.be/rMA3pWf-qls?feature=shared

deep thoughts by me

 

I've always seen the patterns that repeat and what humans do and seeing beyond The duality and yet people don't understand what I mean when I say that. So I kind of feel like I don't belong with most humans. So I guess I'm just one of these people that sees things differently and I'm kind of an outsider and maybe that's good. And maybe that's my role on this planet for now. Good luck everyone


One example of me singing beyond The duality is that I am not an atheist, but that doesn't mean I'm religious. I don't literally take religious things literal, but I am a spiritual person and I see nature as God and spirit and the ecosystem and life, and I don't appreciate that humans think they can outsmart and conquer nature and genetically modify everything with technology that is creepy. So I don't fit into this total atheist that thinks that we should genetically modify everything cuz there's no creator, but I'm also not a religious person that takes religious things literally, but I don't want to throw the baby out with a bathwater. I believe in actual wisdom in philosophy and I believe in nature and I believe that humans should work with nature, not try to dominate and conquer and outsmart nature with genetically modifying things and using technology that tinkers with our DNA etc. That's just the tip of the iceberg on that


Like when Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge, that is way way, way deeper than people realize. Because if you look at quantum physics, you realize that things are not set in stone and that life is literally flexible and that imagination has the power to create beyond thinking that something has to be a certain way and people associate that with being science, but science actually is flexible. Especially if you act ask Quantum physicists what is real? What is solid things change based on what we think or feel or imagine or assume etc. We are partly creating all of this. Things are not set in stone

trust yourself.

 TRUST YOUR OWN INNER VOICE/GUT/ FEELING /INTUITION. each person has their own wisdom. I guess the reason why I'm on every single social media platform I can find including alternative ones mainstream, alternative, whatever I'm on every single one that I can find that's free in addition to having my own website Shannon Kringen dot com since 2000... and then I share my photos on Flickr and my videos on YouTube. And I have several blogs and the reason why I maintain all of this is because in case they- whoever's in charge- decides to delete it or eliminate it all together. I cross post my art on every single website that I possibly can so that I can keep my creative expression published in the universe online as well as recording my voice making music and publishing poetry books and art books. That's my way of creative expression and keeping my voice literally expressed in the community online and I try to ignore all of the drama if i cannot personally do anything to "solve" it... and all of the people arguing about every topic imaginable. Everything we say and do online has been curated in some way and its being "collected as data to train machines etc anyway ha ha right? what a GAME. in the last several years especially, and it's kind of creepy like humans are being trained to think a certain way and act a certain way. And I am continuously trying to figure out how I can keep creating in some kind of inspirational way and not react with anger to all the things that I think are BS + downright abusive and disgusting and disruptive and negative/manipulative/mostly wanting to sell ideas and agendas and literally products... and blah blah blah blah blah. And I don't want to argue or debate with anybody who has different opinions than mine- and i want the world to have variety. I just want to keep creating from a place of joy and love and whatever Freedom we have left as humans. heres a collages i just made of my art book, poetry book i self published along with the article seattle magazine and the everett herald published on my art car. thank you everyone involved in this- this gives me joy and hopefully spreads positive eNeRgY to others in the community reminding them of playful fun aspects of life. i am inspired by Pippi Longstocking and Willy Wonka Oompa Loompa Boopity Do su·per·ca·li·fra·gil·is·tic·ex·pi·a·li·do·cious KringFlower Goddess KRING Music. Shannon Nicole Kringen is me.
