Basically I just feel like I need to be my whole self which is dark and
light positive and negative multifaceted full of contradictions a little
bit introvert a little bit extrovert a little bit country, a little bit
rock and roll a little bit friendly and a little bit antisocial. I
guess all of it is the real me a little bit Moody a little bit friendly,
etc. Definitely an omnivore wanting to eat both plants and animals. Not
trying to save the world but a little bit hero and a little bit
villain. Maybe both at the same time simultaneously!
Yeah,
suddenly it occurs to me once again. I still want to do my art and I
still want to share it, but I think I'm burned out on thinking that I
need to promote the heck out of what I do to make it a success just to
prove that I'm not afraid of failure or success. When really? I want to
do my music and my poetry and my art but I don't want to try to force it
to become successful or like push the river. I want to just flow with
the river so the idea that you make music and art and that's enough that
you're enjoying it. It doesn't matter if it's popular or famous or you
make money or whatever. I don't need to make money with my yard. I do my
art for fun so now I want to let go again of needing certain external
results but still come from a place of doing my creative things and
sharing them and not worrying about the outcome whether it's failure or
success because everyone just labels things anyway. And what really
matters is that we're doing what we love, right, and that we're creating
a ripple effect in the universe
Good luck to everyone. I just
deleted all my Moody posts. I'm in a weird mood today but I'll figure it
out. Good luck to everyone. Thank you for anyone who's kind and shows
support to me and others.

It also
occurs to me that I should find a camera person that wants to follow me
around and help me document some of the vents that I'm in cuz it's quite
challenging to be the performer, the artist and the filmmaker at the
same time that's documenting it! Wish I could clone myself and so I
could film myself better. Although I'm really good at doing the
monologues in a simple way but to document me from a distance, I'm
probably going to need another camera person to help me out... And the
friends that I'm working with on making this film are both busy so it's
hard to coordinate with them so I might need to find somebody else to
help do our documentary film.
Really pretty much in awe of this
documentary about Val Kilmer's life. The most amazing thing about it is
the way it's edited together. I imagine what a challenge it was to go
through all of the home movies that he made and figure out how to tell a
story and splice it all together from the past to the present into
this one. Cohesive film. Really well done. Anyone who's reading this?
Have you seen this movie? What do you think? I really loved it. Ive seen
it twice so far. And then I think about doing my own documentary about
my public access, TV show and different aspects of the unusual way in
which I was raised etc. My life story basically it's a little
overwhelming to think about, but I have hundreds of VHS tapes from my
public access TV show and I've worked with hundreds of people as an art
model literally and I wonder how many people have seen my TV show or at
least used to watch it. And I think I have four people lined up to
interview, but I haven't started any of the interviews yet... Then I
would like to film me driving around in my art car or have somebody film
me. A friend of mine has a drone. We might be able to get some aerial
shots of me driving around in my art car and then we have the goddess
Kring theme song literally that we can use in the movie... Dave Flowers
It's a great sound engineer and music mixer and composer, and so we
basically have the tools to score the movie with ordinal music we create
- then I have my visual art and my poetry and my own current self. So
there's so much potential for this movie to be pretty rich and
interesting multifaceted and interesting story that we could tell which
will hopefully inspire and touch people
