"C'mon c'mon" is it really beautifully done black and white movie

 "C'mon c'mon" is it really beautifully done black and white movie with Joaquin Phoenix that I just watched.... Certain aspects reminded me of both the pros and the cons of my own childhood.... The creativity and the authenticity of it is a great beautiful story and I love the music and the editing and the cinematography and the black and white is so beautifully done. It's a movie I'd like to watch a few times... all my favorite movies I'm happy to watch multiple times.

my subtle art car



 on my art car: You know going for that subtle look....Here's something amusing:. I sometimes forget that I have an art car and I notice people staring at my car and having either a smile or a weird look on their face and then I remember oh yeah they're looking at the rhinestones on my car and wondering.... either they are entertained by it or they think that it's ridiculous! either way is fine with me!

tapir!

 




Tapir photos from yesterday! i love these creatures. https://www.spirit-animals.com/tapir-symbolism/ A tapir is a large, herbivorous mammal, similar in shape to a pig, with a short, prehensile nose trunk. Tapirs inhabit jungle and forest regions of South and Central America, with one species inhabiting Southeast Asia

human defense mechanisms at play

 I'm witnessing the mental blocks people have when something sinister is happening... sometimes people just don't want to acknowledge it and they want to pretend like everything is okay... I can think of times previously in history when certain horrible things were happening and people just sort of pretended like it was okay.... I guess that's a defense mechanism that people have just so they can get through the day. Human Nature... I'm seeing all kinds of patterns that I'm not going to describe here and I'll keep that to myself.... Sending good wishes to all....



Keeping a sense of meaning and purpose in life is very important and different people have different ways of doing that.

I love the wisdom and the philosophy in all of the great religions of the world. I'm not a religious person at all, but I believe in wisdom and I believe in the philosophy that helps us live our best life and connects us through love with others. So in regards to people who are judgmental against religion or obsessed with religion, I would say don't confuse the baby with the bath water. I'm interested in the actual wisdom and the philosophy that's helpful and all of the dogma and fear and shame and guilt in superstitious shallow blah, blah, blah and excuses to go to war and blah blah blah blah blah. That's just all a bunch of gunk that needs to be flushed down the toilet, but the actual wisdom of loving others as we love ourselves and forgiving and unconditional love and actual like wisdom. I'm interested in all of that and you can also be an atheist and be full of wisdom. So I guess what I'm interested in is wisdom, love and compassion. Whether somebody is religious or an atheist or whatever doesn't matter to me.  Joseph Campbell talked about this and he actually was thought of his controversial for having that idea. He saw all the similarities in the different philosophies all around the world and even if you're an atheist, there's wisdom in some of those views as well and they can be connected to spiritual ways of seeing. So I intuitively connect the dots in a similar way from what Joseph Campbell talks about blah blah blah I need to go to bed. I'm tired but I guess I do think about philosophy quite a bit in my own intuitive abstract way and how it lines up with human behavior, etc. I'm just too tired to say anymore. Good night

Wow what a challenge it is to feel empathy and compassion for people who I think are completely wrong about certain things and also wanting to receive empathy and compassion from them who think I'm wrong about certain things that's a big challenge these days I would say from my perspective

recent life

 

random life: Had a good time working with artists today. Commuted with my bicycle which is all decorated up for the parades and I just keep it like that all year round....and my bicycle helmet too....and everyone asked me why my bicycle helmet is like that so I like to spread the joy and spread the color when I drive in my rhinestone art car and wear my bike helmet and my hand painted shoes etc they told me today the world needs more of that the world needs more color and fun and playfulness and creativity and people experimenting and trying new things for fun... And my heart goes out to anyone who is being told that they can't do certain things that are just normal and I'm really grateful that I have the freedom to do the things that I did today and that I am doing right now

Follow your heart and soul if you want....that's what I love doing

i am listening to 8 hours of testimony that is BANNED on most media outlets. won't be sharing here just stating my ANGER about the DENIAL on certain things happening in the world. gaslighting and scapegoating is NASTY.

Elephantes in the room elefantes in the room elefantes in the room!!!! Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!!!! Run Toto Run!!!

obsessed with this song. Beach House - Somewhere Tonight

thank you beach house and cut worms. two new to me bands i love the music of.

I'm learning a lot about the human psychology of certain situations some people just act as if everything is normal -even if it actually makes no sense but when anyone who disagrees is shame for an ostracized for it a majority of people seem to just then go along and think well it must be normal to go along with thisand everything makes sense and just go along with certain things other people sneak around and learn how to be fake other people fight out in the open and I guess other people just leave the whole situation and go somewhere else completely off grid there's at least four different choices

Enjoy life while you can your freedoms could be taken away very quickly if certain people decide so

what i think about "beach house: thank your lucky stars" album: this record is a masterpiece. i found this randomly at the public library and fell in love with it. every song hypnotizes me into a trance of inspiration. i love this album so much. every song is a gem. i am very picky about music and this one hooked me from the first listen. i play this over and over and over in my car. the melodies are so well crafted.

So grateful that we have so many nature trails in Seattle and that I can walk to a few of them.

Trust your instincts as a phrase that comes to mind right now for me

My favorite thing about my self-portraits when people appreciate them is that I know that I don't have to get permission from the photographer cuz I'm the model and the photographer so I give myself permission to share and publish etc I don't have to worry about somebody not wanting me to publish something because I give myself permission to publish me it's nice and simple that way!

So much life material to write poetry... secret code about ...accumulating big time

forgot how much i love these 2 songs: Butthole Surfers - Pepper, Beastie Boys - So What'Cha Want!

took 3200 photos recently and now backing up on my computer just in case!

I remember in an interview Tom Petty saying that when he would do a show sometimes he would end up when he went back to his hotel room just pacing around the room till 5:00 a.m. because he was so charged up on adrenaline from performing in front of the audience that's pretty intense

I get it now some people don't understand vibes... they don't understand intuitive feeling and vibes especially in music.... It's not about how complicated or simple a song is it's about the feeling and the vibe and sometimes you can just play three notes and it could be more powerful than the most complicated symphony you've ever heard.... Some good music is complicated some good music is simple and everything in between and vice versa.... which explains why some people don't like this sound and yet people like me love this dreamy sound... very inspired by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.... very inspired by Neil Young and crazy horse very inspired by beach house the band inspired by Mazzy Star, cowboy junkies and Jesse Sykes and Rafe Pearlman in so many other musicians and Tori Amos etc and Beck and so many other people....

I will always believe in the magic of synchronicity and Serendipity and spiritual awareness and psychic intuition etc. And the creative imagination and the power of thought and the power of how we're all connected and we all affect each other in positive and negative ways depending on how we use our energy I believe in energy and manifesting and all kinds of stuff and I feel like there's people out there promoting this view that dismisses all of what I just said and I am not going to let anyone dampen my spirit and take away my inspiration that comes from within and it comes from nature and what I would call a spiritual awareness. All the great songwriters that I love seem to channel their music from something beyond themselves and I would consider that kind of a spiritual thing that they're doing combining their own mind and imagination and body heart and soul with something beyond themselves invisible energy that's what I would call it and some of my best poems that I've ever written in my improvisational art is all kind of channeled from some kind of spiritual energy that's kind of how I feel about it and I'm going to learn how to get better at just ignoring anybody who laughs at that kind of statement because it's an inspired statement and I'm sticking with it it's from my heart and soul and I resonate with people who resonate with this

homeostasis

 sending good wishes to all for health and well being. so much polarity and conflict in the world now. very challenging time. and yet harmony still exists and nature still tries for (hō′mē-ō-stā′sĭs) " The tendency of an organism or cell to regulate the chemical processes that take place internally so as to maintain health and functioning, regardless of outside conditions. The ability to maintain a steady body temperature is an example of homeostasis."

friends with a spider


 I think I made friends with the spider that lives in my bathroom and I trained it!  There's two daddy long legs that live in my bathroom right now and I don't mind if they stay out of my way. I stay out of their way and they're usually up on the ceiling and the last few days one of them has been low down in the shower and I don't want it to accidentally drown so I've been taking a cup and sort of gently pushing it up the wall so that it stays near the ceiling. And today I was going to take a shower and it was down in the shower area again and I set out loud okay Spidey you need to move up to the ceiling and I swear to God it started moving up to the ceiling so I think it. I think it just knew that I was in there and it remembered that twice I moved it back up to the ceiling. So this time that spider knows... the spider is smart enough to know it needs to crawl up to the ceiling!

Spreading Inspiration! Kring-spiration! by Shannon Nicole Kringen

Spreading Inspiration! Kring-spiration! by Shannon Nicole Kringen

My favorite response is when people tell me they're inspired by my multimedia artwork cuz some people think of me in a critical way and they accuse me of being a narcissist cuz I'm so into My self-portraits and my eccentric way of making my art which is a bummer but people are entitled to their opinion but my favorite is when people say they're inspired by my art to paint their face paint their shoes decorate their car do something fun and playful whatever it is singing dancing acting painting I love to inspire people that is my favorite thing because I love playing around with multimedia and I like mostly working by myself my best art seems to be made when I'm by myself because I'm just more comfortable when I'm by myself although I have enjoyed working with other people over the years! But my favorite way of inspiring people is to work solo and share my work and then people enjoy what I do and then they do their own creative thing which I think is really cool and we can empower each other doing that instead of just being spectators in life we can participate and do creative fun things express ourselves that is part of my mission on this planet since I never got married or had kids I feel like my mission is to do creative things that I love and share it with others and hope to inspire other people to do whatever it is they love. And I love nature plants and animals..

paint your face! paint onto your shoes or hats or put rhinestones on your car fun fun fun
