Testing testing!


I don't remember how to blog. It took me awhile to even remember where my blog was and how to access it but...here it is. Please ignore all the About Me section...that needs to be updated from a lifetime ago...so why a blog?
I deactivated my main Facebook page. My business page is still up (Tigerbee Arts) and I remote update it so the art fun lives on and anyone interested in following/collecting can still contact me there.
I don't know how often I'll blog here but I did want to let everyone know:
1. I didn't delete you. I deactivated my account for a bit.
2. I also deactivated Messenger but you can message me via Tigerbee Arts facebook or email me: djtigerbee@electriclollipop.com
3. Miss all my stupid updates? Lies! But Im on instagram and when I warm up to the crowd there I might get funny again. So, Im two people on instagram...the real silly me complete with cats and grievances with tiny pizzas is @djtigerbee
The very professional me with her hair in a librarian bun and showing only her artwork and not one plate of food is @galleryrodriguez
So Im still online...I just took myself off the toxic minefield of Facebook.
I found myself enthralled with people going through divorces and throwing poop on each others lawns. I found myself in a black veil daily mourning strangers pets and family members. (Not being funny- this stuff depressed me DAILY). I found myself reading long Jerry Springer like threads where local girls were jumping on other local girls and I would check in to see who said what.... is that entertainment?
Add into it the politics that never took a break and the meme regurgitation that never stopped and I was feeling like somehow I was living at my lowest level= not really living. When I got the feeling I could no longer express myself I decided a break was in order. A break of indefinite time. So without fanfare I clicked my way into deactivation land. And here I am. Life after Facebook. As a steady Facebook addict since it first started (haikoo zoo and scrabulous anyone?) I'm surprised that I don't feel the need to log in. I dont miss the drama of people I dont know. Useless detritus doesn't float in my headspace and memes aren't drilled into my grey matter making me feel dumb.
I've taken to reading books, studying meditation, working out, finding real life things to do (free tai chi and Quigong classes next week!) and PAINTING even more than I did! Productivity is up, spirits are up, my brain is thanking me for using it again, my spirit is glad it left everyones therapy sessions because it needs its own therapy and it's nice to not feel there is an audience watching and reacting. Im reprogramming myself as a real human again. Years in screen land with all its misunderstandings and disconnectedness can really mess you up.
This weekend is all painting and Pow Wows 🌞🎨 grab life.....it runs pretty quick.

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
