The Face Behind The Poetry n SHiT. Goodnightnina*

Photo on 16-12-10 at 9.26 AM #2.jpg

This is my dumb-azz taking pictures of myself. A perhaps overly proud trans girl. A poet and an artist but who the f*ck isn’t these days? Right now I’m typing off of a hoop-tie  of a macbook but it does the trick… trick.

So another about me post. Thinking* This is stupid but anyways… Why do I write? Two huge influential women is why…My mom got me a book about 5 years ago called “The Artists Way” by Julia Cameron and “This book” is designed to ignite your creative side on a daily basis. And one of the instructions on this book is SIMPLY WRITING. As soon as you wake up; you write. It doesn’t matter what it is. Just wake up and write… And the other influential woman was my media art teacher Kat Thorsen; Kat Thorsen works wonders in the community and Ive seen her do it over and over and over again… If your reading this we all love ya Kat. Saving peoples lives n everything…

I am hardly someone to be writing “about me” posts because I am not touted as that girl making an impact in the world… like at all… I write this an about me post hoping that you write an about me post because… We are reading your work; you impact our lives. Funny because I don’t think I impact anyones life hahaha…But I try and do so anyways through various mediums. It really doesn’t matter if you’re acknowledged or not; its how you look back. Saying you did that. Then sitting here like I am now… Saying “what next?” Be proud and be yourself….

Whats next. Im just gonna hit publish; like fuck it.

Drippedy-Drop… Its a wet kinda dey.

Unsure of what to say… She types… anyways….

Its dark n cold…. n cold n dark

She has no new spark to quote; remark.

So…

With an audacity to type exactly what she has to say: Nothing

Type because I have to type and write so its written…

It contacted the lines onto the screen.

What were her means of musing; nothing said: “amusing”.

Perfusing emptiness

Like a doctor sues with no epic pictures

Just stupid rhyme mixture elixer

Flickering light fixture

Or is there?

Time for a break; Away from poetry and into traditional art media! – Nina

Ive been blogging for 10 months and its been a blast writing articles, poetry and journaling but I have been starting to miss spending my spare time painting and sketching. I am exited to dedicate the months leading up to summer painting the things in life that inspire me.

I find inspiration from so many things; buddhism, graffiti, anime and my traditional native art to; painting portraits or abstract art and it is truly just as gratifying as writing a heartfelt poem or blog post. I’m happy to return to the sketchbook, wood, canvas and sometimes the concrete.

I spent a short portion today painting a large portrait of buddha and I loved it!

Im happy to keep it moving!

Care to join me?

JUST COMPLETED MY 100TH YOUTUBE VIDEO!!! yay! Goodnightnina – Abstract bars till I laughed too hard. (Over J Dilla Pt. 3)

I hope my rhymings timeless; Poetic royal highness. “Minus the riches;” So… My rags will wash the dishes.

Whats the tea?

Turn on the kettle like… Ride my D–K or… My whip? Don’t trip it is a pedal bike.

Thats me.

I used to love some… doctor sues… Rhymes about hungry 8 legged octopuss.

OFF DA HOOK!

Im silly. Silly as a hillbilly. Driving a Lexus coup bumping biggie smoking a ciggy getting jiggy.

Really?

Naw son, Im dead cereal. Fruit loops enduced delirium. 6 AM: Dropping body parts in my gold fish aquarium

Vegetarian!

I DO NOT EAT GREEN EGGS N HAM. They Live, We Sleep. I’m out of bubble gum.

I guess its time I kick ass.

When I was a kid I danced around to brass monkey. Now I’m all grown up dance around to brass monkey. I tried to go to class n pass but math flunked me. Fuck me!

Ive come along way in the last 9 months and have received so much love and support from other bloggers. I love reading and seeing everyones different genres and styles of work that they choose to blog and am happy to be moving along in this journey with you all.

Peace for now!

Thank you!
