Mike Campbell and Tori Amos

 Just recorded my take on the contrast between the intimate Mike Campbell concert at the Crocodile in Seattle with the Tori Amos concert at the larger venue of the Paramount in Seattle and how I'm inspired by musicians to keep on doing my own art and my own creative spark of creative expression, etc. Find your own personal power through creating an expressing yourself. As opposed to giving your personal power away and worshiping rock stars, that's not how I see it. I see these people as inspirational.

for tori amos from goddess kring

My message for Tori Amos today when I'm going to see her live in Seattle tonight at the Paramount theater. I hand-painted shoes for her in 1996, 2005 and 2014. I've seen her live many times. her music inspires me so much and helps me heal from trauma. her and Tom Pettys music literally has helped me many many times in 1979 when I first heard refugee and in 1992 when I first heard silent all these years and tori amos newer music also inspires me very very very much her last five albums especially.

Tom Petty's guitarist at the Crocodile in Seattle 05-31-22 GREAT SHOW. Selfie with Mike Campbell!

 Tom Petty's guitarist at the Crocodile in Seattle 05-31-22 GREAT SHOW. Selfie with Mike Campbell! Absolutely buzzing from the live music the Mike Campbell dirty knobs concert was so so so well done one of the best live concerts I've ever seen and to stand 5 ft away from Mike Campbell was a real treat he's such a handsome beautiful guitar player and I absolutely loved his outfit he had on these shiny shoes and he had sparkles he had rhinestones on his guitar strap and he had sparkles hanging down from his waist like this metal sparkly thing like charm bracelet kind of thing hanging down it was so cool what a cool outfit magical mystical outfit. Gorgeous guitar playing Mike Campbell with the dirty knobs brilliant even if the vocals lack the powerful guitar strength what heart and soul. Great band. They know how to connect with the audience so well. So many textures so many layers to this music. I cried they did some Tom Petty songs and mostly their own songs. Beautiful show

new recording

 Just recorded a little monologue about boundaries and self-esteem and loving music and feeling almost ashamed. If I really love music that other people say they can't stand, I don't know why I feel insecure in that way. Like I'm supposed to apologize for liking certain music that other people don't like. That's just really weird because it's not like I want everyone to like the same music as me. That's fine with me if they disagree, but for some reason I feel like they're telling me that I am not okay in liking the music that I like so I know that's some kind of weird wound from childhood or other kids bullying me or some kind of ridiculous thing that I need to heal from

"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
