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…

after the stage

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.

Bun Dance Vocals and Lyrics by Shannon Kringen Goddess KRING

(music/arrangement and mix by Supaflower at Interactive Jack Records Seattle)

this is Goddess KRING and Supaflower

out the gate celebrate

tb303 as we penetrate tr808

Bun Dance a bun dance

bombardi discardi

now time always here

now time always here

no tardy we are smarty

strong and hearty

now time always here

now time always here

seeing through bleeding lines of

dueling massive lines of artifacts

waxing off the fooey

enticing what is chewy in the stew

sitting tall on the stool

self esteem higher than any ratings

game on the tube!

Bun Dance a bun dance

bombardi discardi

now time always here

now time always here

no tardy we are smarty

strong and hearty

now time always here

now time always here

fishing for lures dazzling

large scale out of the box

life branching off

from the mother ship

to the other ship

sticking to whipping cream

of put that in your pipe and surf it

this is the new turf surrounded by what is

cute as the smirf

we know how to win this game with no shame!

we know how to win this game with no shame!

Ditching blame from victim to advancing fame

we are the benders of reality

we snap the fingers of fate

Bun Dance a bun dance

bombardi discardi

now time always here

now time always here

no tardy we are smarty

strong and hearty

now time always here

now time always here

Bun Dance a bun dance

Bun Dance a bun dance

Bun Dance a bun dance

Bun Dance a bun dance

Bun Dance a bun dance

now time always here

now time always here

now time always here

now time

now time always here

always here always here

dividing expanded consciousness

evaporating traps

following shallow twisted plots

that can easily be dropped

we plot into quantum physics

melting matters in our powerful ordinary hands

stronger enough to withstand

the manure mentality

into the open green vision landed never stranded

changed plots on the spot

changed plots on the spot

Bun Dance a bun dance

bombardi discardi

now time always here

now time always here

no tardy we are smarty

strong and hearty

now time always here

now time always here

OCD leads me astray

I want to play

neurodivergent

washing detergent

urgently embrace

fertile ground

chaos bound astound sound autism

seduced by the smoozefest

better to choose less

less is more

more or less

less is more

more or less

less is more

more or less

better to choose less

Bun Dance a bun dance

bombardi discardi

now time always here

now time always here

no tardy we are smarty

strong and hearty

now time always here

now time always here

less is more

more or less

less is more

more or less

now time always here

now time always here

on staying informed

 

it would be nice if I could share my ideas and not wimp out and if people start attacking me and criticizing me for my point of view, I'm going to try to see if anybody says nasty things to me because of this little essay that I'm writing about my negative thoughts about the news media. If somebody wants to be really negative and criticize me, let's see if I can handle it and I can just let people totally disagree with me and keep this post up and I don't want to argue or debate with anybody. You're entitled to your opinion as much as I'm entitled to my opinion, every single person is a unique individual and we do not fit into little boxes . The way people are stereotyping each other these days is very disturbing to me and honestly I'll be friends with anybody who's nice to me. Even if they completely have different views than me on all topics in the world right now. I could be friends with anybody who actually is decent and respectful . The idea of staying informed is a good idea with good intentions, but if you're overwhelmed with information that makes you angry and scared and dreading reality, that seems to me like a very toxic thing. Kind of like eating junk food and not realizing YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO EAT REAL FOOD OR JUNK FOOD- feeding your brain Junk food is not going to help your brain function or the world be a better place and solve it's problems. It's not going to help you be a productive citizen. If you let yourself be overwhelmed and bombarded with mass media, that's sensationalizing everything. That's my opinion right now about some of the stress that I'm seeing. People overwhelmed and stressed out and they think that that's just because of what's really happening in the world and they're not actually aware of and being a witness to The sensationalized media conglomeration of high ratings and keeping people glued to the tubes to think that they're good citizens. If they soak all that in as if to think that once we have Utopia and World peace then what the news media is going to tell us how wonderful everything is? FAT CHANCE. Plato's allegory to the cave comes to mind= "In the allegory, Plato describes people who have spent their entire lives chained by their necks and ankles in front of an inner wall with a view of the empty outer wall of the cave. They observe the shadows projected onto the outer wall by objects carried behind the inner wall by people who are invisible to the chained “prisoners” and who walk along the inner wall with a fire behind them, creating the shadows on the inner wall in front of the prisoners. The "sign bearers" pronounce the names of the objects, the sounds of which are reflected near the shadows and are understood by the prisoners as if they were coming from the shadows themselves.

Only the shadows and sounds are the prisoners' reality, which are not accurate representations of the real world. The shadows represent distorted and blurred copies of reality we can perceive through our senses, while the objects under the Sun represent the true forms of objects that we can only perceive through reason. Three higher levels exist: natural science; deductive mathematics, geometry, and logic; and the theory of forms.

Socrates explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not the direct source of the images seen. A philosopher aims to understand and perceive the higher levels of reality. However, the other inmates of the cave do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life"

you're missing out on actual full life. If you just fixate on what the media chooses to talk about and not realizing there's also things they're choosing to not talk about . I'm a human being that cares about everything happening in the world, but I don't feel it's my duty and obligation to get bombarded with information that perpetuates conflict and fear and anger and being manipulated into thinking that I'm a good citizen because I'm soaking all that in and that I'm supposed to try to fix the problem by being whatever kind of person people think that they have to be to be a hero and save the world from all the bad things happening etc. Feels like a trick to me and a manipulation. Feels like psychological warfare game that people are mistaking for the truth . Not that there isn't truthful things spoken about in the media but the way they sensationalize and fixate on negative things. We know that that gets higher ratings if they dramatize everything.. like when you see a car accident people want to look on the side of the road. But then when you see something cute and fun and nice you might not even notice that . mass media frenzy, I feel like it's a form of psychological warfare for people to get so hooked into sensationalized media ideas and mistaking that for actual reality and not realizing how persuasive media gossip is and that there is a difference between what's really happening for sure in the world versus what they talk about and how they say it and how many buttons it pushes in people. I'll probably delete this post because it's so-called controversial, but I think a lot of people are basing their mood on sensationalized media gossip in the mass media designed to manipulate and fear-monger people and stress people out and give people certain ideas of what's the gloom and doom in the world. And it's important to actually care about what's really happening in the world, but to think that you need to be focused on the sensationalized news media cycle about everything happening in the world- that is not good for your health and does not solve anything. IN FACT IT ADDS TO THE STRESS IN THE WORLD. Not just the United states, but like all over the world every like dramatic event that's happening in the world right now that that the news media talks about. I think a lot of people are mistaking their own real life. With the actual news media cycle, I don't think people realize that you're not helping the world by being stressed out and proving that you care by being stressed out in news media stories that are being told like we're not directly solving these issues by listening to by listening and "staying informed" of what the news media wants to tell you that doesn't actually help the world, it only like for me, it just stresses me out. So for me to stay informed by watching all of the mainstream news stories, that's not helpful and then people argue and label everything and it's like it's not helping the world to argue about what's true and what's false, what's gossip and what's legitimate newsworthy information blah blah blah. It's like it's not helping the world to do that and I'm not trying to make anybody feel bad. That's really into paying attention to all the news so they can stay informed and prove they're a good person who cares. But that just feels like a manipulation to me like you've been sucked into and manipulated into thinking that you're only a good person if you pay attention to all of the news stories cuz you're trying to prove that you don't believe that some of it is sensationalized BS because it kind of is. It's like gossiping. It's like high school kids gossiping there's a lot of money involved and they want good ratings. So it's like if we're sucked into that, we're missing out on what's actually happening in the world in a more real kind of way. And I honestly think people are mistaking sensationalize sound bites and stories reported on. Yeah, there are seriously bad things happening in the world, but to fixate on that and magnify it is not helping solve the problems. So to me it's like that's like eating junk food watching all of that sensationalized stressful information designed to give news sites, high ratings and high viewership so they can sell ads sponsored by large corporations trying to sell you products. It's not really helping the world. So honestly, I think the Dalai Lama would probably agree with me what helps the world is for people to be peaceful and affect their local community in whatever way they can. Family, friends, your career, whatever you can do in your actual life that doesn't involve sensationalized media stories that we don't have control over. taking care of your body mind and nervous system also helps the world and is not "selfish" and watching lots of media that is stressful to "stay informed" is not helping the world heal or solve it's problems or promote any kind of peace- when citizens are stressed out and arguing about that is true and false that is not fixing anything- only adding to the drama. WE ALL CHOOSE what to focus on.

and i know this is partly because of you know who saying "psuedo news" and it made some humans want to REBEL and "stay informed" to prove they care about world events- now i think that is trap that is best not to get sucked into. what do each of us want to build and reinforce as individuals as opposed to jumping on some band wagon and arguing about what is true and false?

Outsmart The Gaslighters (rough cut new song)

a poem by shannon kringen turned into a song by supaflower

lyrics

outsmart the gaslighters by shannon kringen goddess kring

enticed out to play/ fear of feeling poked and prodded/
cultivate the strength of coyote hummingbird racoon spider
not fitting into the slot,
nerves forcing the stoic strong
nerves forcing the stoic strong
nordic me
into this loud sonic boom room
feeling the gloom doom
ruined petal butterfly wings
outsmart the gaslighters grabbing clouds seeding lands-
sea anemone/enemy set free
sea anemone/enemy set free
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom
the right to be wrong, the wrong to rewrite reality
strong yet fragile
strong yet fragile
in tangental angles
inertia disturbs to slanted words
need those extroverts with those introverts
some think absurd but
I am heard heard herded into the pasture
off to the inner bride and groom
fully married to the self actualized heat of me
outsmart the gaslighters
grabbing clouds seeding lands-
sea anemone an enemy set free
sea anemone an enemy set free
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom
outsmart the gaslighters
grabbing clouds seeding lands
sea anemone an enemy set free
sea anemone an enemy set free
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the wound beyond the bloom

into this loud sonic boom room
feeling the gloom doom
ruined petal butterfly wings
outsmart the gaslighters grabbing clouds seeding lands-
sea anemone/enemy set free
sea anemone/enemy set free
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom
the right to be wrong, the wrong to rewrite reality
strong yet fragile
strong yet fragile
in tangental angles
inertia disturbs to slanted words
need those extroverts with those introverts
some think absurd but
I am heard heard herded into the pasture
off to the inner bride and groom
fully married to the self actualized heat of me
outsmart the gaslighters
grabbing clouds seeding lands-
sea anemone an enemy set free
sea anemone an enemy set free
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom
outsmart the gaslighters
grabbing clouds seeding lands
sea anemone an enemy set free
sea anemone an enemy set free
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the bloom beyond the wound
seeding the wound beyond the bloom

eating frugal and healthy

 

Made a new video for "ShannonKringen" youtube channel about how to eat on a budget and eat healthy food from my perspective. And I believe in free speech and civil liberties. So if anyone disagrees with me that's fine. But I just put my input in because somebody said hey. Do you have a video on how people can do this because they were saying that if somebody doesn't have a lot of money they are forced to eat junk food cuz that's all they can afford but I don't agree. I think that you can actually be on a really tight budget and eat healthy food if you're willing to do certain things that I do. And no matter what my income level is, whether it's low, medium or high. I still believe in eating actual real food and not processed food that comes in boxes

open mind

 

Part of why I love being an artist is that I love the idea of individuality. every single human is completely unique and has their own way of doing things. And that is the most precious thing about artistic expression to me. Whether it's music or visual art or acting or performing arts, singing, dancing, writing every kind of art form that there is. Freedom to explore and experiment and see what happens between the artist as well as the audience and the relationship between the artist and the audience always has fascinated me.

Straddling the middle on the checkerboard... Feel in sync with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Not buying into either. Extreme on any topic really these days. Not able to conform to the pecking order so having to find a different way to surf these waves of how I I coexist with the rest of humanity right now. Easier with plants and animals than fellow humans right now, but I do have much in common with people with art and music and serving in my career and loving. Taking care of what I'm hired to do and having the freedom of expression in my art and just navigating carefully right now. Feel like I'm walking on eggshells. Very uncomfortable, weird feeling.

I'm a fan of respecting each other's privacy and individuality and supporting people in doing whatever they think is best in all the choices that they make, whether they're big choices or small choices. I'm also a fan of Open-Minded free thinking and liberating yourself from any kind of peer pressure you feel from people that are similar to you or different from you.

my dad in florida with the storm

I refuse to buy in the polarized version of reality- one extreme or the other. I think the truth is a mixture of all of it . I always question everything I hear on the media- whether it's mainstream or independent or alternative and I wonder what the full truth is about why these storms are happening so badly and I have my theories. And yes, I know what I'm supposed to think about these things, but I don't really buy into just conforming with whatever I'm told. I'm supposed to think about these things ! I MAKE CHOICES BASED ON MY OWN INNER WISDOM NOT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE TELL ME TO DO TO OR HOW TO THINK. Same with certain medical topics and certain nutrition and health topics. I question all of it all the time no matter what . We do have technology that can turbocharge things or minimize things and we also have nature that does what nature does. So here we are . Well my dad is in Port St Lucie Florida and he's going to stay at his house during the storm and him and his neighbor s have made the preparations and they have storm proof hurricane proof windows on their houses. He lives in a suburban fairly flat community with not a lot of trees around and there is a pond nearby with alligators that live in it... My dad is very calm. He's been through many hurricanes and this one might be worse than anything else he's experienced, but he's willing to take the chance so I'm willing to accept the fact that maybe things won't be okay where my dad is and maybe things will be okay where my dad is and life is fragile and life is temporary so I'm willing to face head on if something tragic happens in my dad's area. I think that people are kind of way too addicted to the drama in the media and it is important to help people in disaster areas and do everything we can to help. But I think we need to also remember that if you watch a lot of drama in the news before something happens and they're trying to predict what may or may not happen, it is kind of like a ratings game and what is supposedly reality becomes like a TV show drama soap opera instead of actual reality... My dad says he's all set. They have some of the neighbors have generators. They have extra water, extra food. They're prepared if the power goes out. Hoping their houses don't flood. My dad has two cats so he's going to do everything he can to keep himself and his cats safe and healthy. And if it becomes a tragic disaster area in my dad's neighborhood, I guess he's just willing to face it head on. And I agree with my dad. It's best to not panic about these kind of things and just make your choices and do your best and then see what happens. Also I'm a spiritual person so whatever happens with my dad is going to happen and he is more than just his body. He's also a soul so we'll see what happens and one day at a time.

My dad is in Port St. Lucie, Florida waiting out the storm with preparations with him and his neighbors and literally a Hard rain's gonna fall. My dad is a huge Bob Dylan fan and so am I. So I dedicate this song out hard rain's going to fall by Bob Dylan not to make light of any hideous storm things happening in the world, but to honor the poetic beauty of the lyrics of this song and acknowledging that life is beautiful and painful at the same time and fragile and strong at the same time simultaneously cuz I don't buy into the polarized way of seeing things. I see everything is good and bad and everything in between. Everything is a mixture and there's multilayers and nuances always about everything on this planet
