Some days one just becomes reflective and it is one of those days Dark and windy and chilly I ran the Turkey trot yesterday To run a three mile race with close to 300 people in the woods at high speed gave me such a rush I was not in the front nor was I in the back but i kept a good pace right in the middle I also ran for a good friend of mine who has cancer and it aggressive After the run i grabbed an apple and some water and looked at my parents like lets bounce Before the race my mothers friends that own a farm came over and asked me to come out and look at the animals…maybe another time I though but I would love to ride a horse again ..My father handed me a hot chocolate right before the run with whipped cream he was trying to feed me like a Lamb going out to the slaughter before the race and telling me “go girl!” but overall it was a good family blast… It was fun seeing them at the finish line with big smiles on their faces and camera in hand
Anywhoo why do I feel the urge to completely get up and go somewhere else that I have never been Maybe i just need some rest and feel the storm coming I feel a storm coming with goodies and know that rest and focus is key I have done quite a bit in the past month and I am starting new projects soon
I am also ready for my next race…I ran so fast and so hard ..and the whole time i was running I was Like wow I am glad I am not waaaaay in the back but like a panther keeping up with the Pac…In the wild the ones that can’t stay with the pac get devoured
I plugged back into the Matrix…Yesterday I was on the set of a Showtime series It was a blast and I met a lot of cool folks I was a chick in the hospital walking with a doc then I was in the hospital bed Man oh man those actors had so many jokes then I had jokes i just laughed so much and I thought why did I give up theater and only focus on visuals…Oh well..these are my thoughts
I love the image and making an image but lately I have become the image with voice and vision. As an artist one must be careful of presentation and representation especially if you are a spiritually conscious and a humanitarian being. Most think of just being visible or noticed without thinking of what the message may provoke. Our work may possibly serve as catalyst for change…
I have been feeling the need to unplug from “The Matrix” still feeling blessed with some of the new artistic folks that I have met Some with visions of doing work that is more real and upfront… producers filmmakers and musicians Trying to shut down so I can organize it all in my mind…projects coming up with these like minded spirits This Sunday I am shooting a video of one of my songs or I should say this filmmaker is I admire his passion for his work and I find it refreshing Artist we are one of a kind and most humans feel that we are strange but they are really the ones that are strange for they buy the music watch the videos and read the books.. to be touched some how to feel connected in a world of cookie cutters
Yesterday I was just on the edge of getting a tattoo but I didn’t Soon come It came to me in the music video The guys were calling me Dream Catcher i was like no that’s a tattoo of a Native American prayer feather Then i thought not a bad nickname and not a bad tattoo so by the new year yes a brand new tattoo
I was on stage a couple of times down town and have been meeting some folks in the performance biz as well I felt comfortable again and at home with myself I plan to hit the stage at least once a week with some new material
In the mean time I am about to catch up with my Pops and Moms today and be next to a part of me and renew my faith through their LOVE I have gifts for both of them …jewelry..but My father did say he wanted me to get some cookies for him so I will try and find them today
Love is near by
