  All the leaves are………you know how the song goes, probably one of my favorites!!! California Dreaming? NOOOOOOOOO…I’ve been to California in the heat of AUG and just about froze my ASS off!! I remember coming back to Minnesota and 90 Degree Humid heat and for the first time, I LOVED IT!!!!  But yeah, dreaming of sunny warm days, as we near October and its miserable cold winds and rain…and soon…………….Snow!!!

  Well .. last week, I gave the last two Kittens away to their new and wonderful owners….What a life they are having. I’m fortunate to be in touch with most of the new families, as some are friends…..or have become friends.  Now LuCi is about to have her second litter…and very likely her last, as it’s just not the healthiest thing for smaller cats to have too many litters….Being that she is Maiine Coon…she is still a kitten herself….One year old, with 3 more years of growing…as these cats tend to get a bit larger than the average house cat.  I’m anxious to see the new crew….which will likely enter this world in about 10 days or so……they’ll be ready for CHristmas and I’ll again be screening the ‘potential new homes’……I’m particular about this…as I made sure the last litter had Plenty of interaction, play time and so much love that I almost thought of them as my own little fluffy balls of love.

  My CD “DiRTY CRiMES” has almost been collecting dust. So many positive and wonderful changes have taken place in my life, that the Finishing of this  CD has been a bit of a challenge, not to mention funding which seems impossible considering I don’t do my own fundraising…although I have considered it!!!   I have had the Great Fortune of working on some heavier projects, like ELEPHANT GIRL with Jane Devin…which She FINALLY received funding for and she has big plans with her book, the song I wrote is part of it…….her story is incredible!!!  I’ve also done the vocals for Slim Girl Fats song ‘SUNRISE’ and we’re both very pleased at the outcome of that………You can listen and download for free http://soundcloud.com/slimmie/sunrise-feat-suzen-juel-free we hope you enjoy it as much as we have!!!!!

 My whole life has changed in the past several months….sometimes that’s why I can’t keep up on things, because so much has happened that I don’t even know where to begin talking about it, nor do I even think it’s relevant to my blog…..those that know me well, well………….they know me well, and there are very few, who truly know ‘me’.  I”m grateful for my close friends/family….without them, I sure would have stayed a big mess…..but when someone Turns your Lights on in life…as difficult as it is to see the mess before you, it’s awesome to see the  beautiful things you once overlooked…because of the darkness one can surround themselves with sometimes.   Sometimes people find it easier to stay in their darkness….it’s familiar…..but I’m finally taking off the ‘sunglasses’ because I’m finally used to this amazing light in my life…..and now, it’s comforting……and to be honest, I like the struggle of change…even though change is tough, hard and uncomfortable…….once it’s over, it’s pretty damn amazing to see this ‘new world’ before me.   Now I’m trying to be patient with the songwriting…as I’ve always been partial to the darkness of my chord in life…….finding the lighter side in life, has left me with new WORD Challenges and I’m anxious to see where this leads me…in my writing.  I must say….SUNRISE with SlimGirlFat has been a blessing…..a HAPPY SONG is nice too!!!

 I hope to KICK off OCTOBER with a new season of NAKED ACOUSTIC SESSIONS and have already been getting requests from musicians to be a part of this seasons Sessions……So I”ll be starting that as soon as I can sit down and find time to Log into Second LIfe……….summer was sweet and busy and chaotic and wonderful…….and with the cold bitter chill of Minnesota Winters….I”m ready to settle down for a few months and perhaps get into Second life, more regularly instead of for my regular scheduled shows.  I also have more gigs in the Metro (St. Paul and Minneapolis areas) which keeps me afloat and connected. THere are a few musicians I’ve been meeting locally that II find  Great Satisfaction in performing with.     …….

Since about 2005 I’ve been on a long journey, to prove to people that YES SECOND LIFE does have Great Music…and it seems these days, with all the different viewers and new users it just keeps getting harder and harder to find.  I received a notice from a popular group about a meeting in Second Life, with some of the Lindens possibly showing up….I received the notice several times, because they stressed HOW IMPORTANT THIS WAS…I arrived (after several hard core crashes) about 20 min after the time it started. There were several people standing around…and after several minutes they finally said “Meetings over, we’re in skype”…which means ??? The meeting is in skype and why wasn’t that announced, OR the person is in skype and just Too Busy to let me know…as a participant and interested musician….eventualy the person (not a linden) said “With someone else”……which makes me think WHY Was this message SO important to get out, if the meeting didn’t last more than….20 min? TOPS!   and the person that sent the Numerous messages, was no where in site. The One Linden that was there, didn’t seem to notice anyone else coming in, and the group messages showed a couple Messages of IT HAS STARTED BUT NO ONE IS HERE…….

That’s only ONE of the things we like to discuss in Second Life. THe meeting was to be about EVENTS Listings etc….music, diff tracks on music….must not have been that important.  And Music…ONCE in awhile I get a nice advantage to be able to listen to different music from different countries around the world.  Although I must say it is Most difficult … considering the current MESS that Live Music Events is, there are so many categories in one file….hardly efficient… yet it is how I check out music…since I have no intention of following EVERY Musician I like, there aren’t enough groups for that NOR do I want the spam…SO I use live MUSIC events, that’s what it’s for!  There are also several MASSIVE groups out there, Independent Musicians and Live Music Enthusiasts, both have been around almost as long as Live Music has been around. I was there when Live Music Just started..back in 2005.  THere were about a half dozen or so of us at the time……  Now, to find a Live MUSICIAN..is almost impossible.   Sooooo I’ve heard the 14 yr old on Karoke, I’ve heard the bathroom singers, the happy singers, those that NEVER play in Real life, those that do both, those that think they can sound just like Celine Dion, those that do country, folk, blues, humor .. i’ve heard it ALL, I truly have…..and my ears favor that one instrument and that one voice, but I LOVE some of what i’ve heard w ith backing tracks…and DJ’S!!! I know a fantastic dj who plays guitar as well as tells us the story behind various songs and styles, he is  brilliant!!! ( Christopher Lung aka Chriscloud loon in SL )…..

…So about 6 years ago (i took one year off) I started Naked AcoustiC Sessions, which is a showcase for Original Musicians…a very relaxed atmosphere where a songwriter/musician can experiment with their new material, tell the audience the story behind it, share some insight….even some Question and Answer moments are embedded in the conversation and music.  Some musicians do a cover or two because of the importance to the song….as it represents the story at hand…..And lately I’ve been looking into other aspects of Naked Acoustic…Naked COmedy, Naked Poetry, Naked Art….etc….giving US the audience and insight into the Mind of these talented souls….

I do this for a few reasons….Because I LOVE THE ARTISTS that perform at Living Room #13 for the Naked AcoustiC Sessions, and I love the vibe, the good ‘juju’ they bring, the melting pot of fans flowing from one musicians to another, the community that happens…. I don’t have dance balls, I don’t have games or exploders, because Naked Acoustics isn’t about anything BUT the Musician…and that is it. It’s not about the venue (although the venue completely focuses on music and art) it’s not about what kind of clothes people wear, or how many prims they wanna lag around with them, it’s NOT about managers or hosts..it IS about the musician. In fact, managers and hosts are encouraged to ONLY shout the artist out ONCE in the beginnng and ONCE in the end….for an hour set…..it’s just respect for the chat and the ambience that the Living Room #13 has always prided itself in.   Forcing Midnight is your best viewing experience…. Living ROom #13 Many of the Musicians that perform at Living Room have approached me to perform there, and almost every musician has asked to come back! Each week, someone new is added to the rotation, and there are 30 min sets and one hour sets….Some weeks we have a Large number of Fantastic Performers and some weeks we have a minimum of 4….My favorite part is, exposing different artists, to other artists, and to attract new fans to each various artist that steps up on that stage. It goes well, the feedback is wonderful and I continue to look forward to sharing my passion in music with other music lovers!!!  You can peek at the updates and musicians on FacebOok  http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_189287457767333 The Naked AcoustiC Sessions updates on this page often!!!

If you would like to donate to my project, which requires a generous amount of donations for the production of my upcoming CD as well as the maintenance involved in keeping this site running, my stream, broadcasts, guitar maintenance and fees that come along with the stream rental and music update….You can do that on the EVENTS 2 Page…..This site is undergoing changes and soon the Donation button which is used for CD sales as well as art…and of course simply because of your support will be better located.

Again, word of mouth is free, and the more you tell people what you hear and like about my passions of music and art, the bigger the web we live in, gets….So thank you!!!!!!!

ART is here…and I will continue to add to it!

Counting down to 2011

2010. WOW….What a year! Especially when it comes to how Social Networks have linked almost every single era and phase of my life, into one big Glorious Web!  In 2010 I have lost friends, and I have gained new ones…I’ve re discovered friendships that have lost their way through time…and all those crazy things that happen in our 20′s…that we missssssssss so badly as we get older. Friends that have come and gone like a fine thread, through our entire life…and then some.  I’ve learned to laugh more, even when I’m angry,  and I’ve found that Doing things a little different, OFTEN, can create new beauty in my life.  My Music has folded in and out of 2010, often finding myself struggling to write, or being induced with so much creativity that I’m not sure where to even disperse it all. In 2011  . I look forward to MORE, and I look forward to fine tuning the things, I may have lost focus of, because of my intense focus on other things….that have taken a priority in my life. Finish it, and move to the next task…often doing several tasks at once, and just taking LONGER to finish….may as well Tackle things head on.

I have been doing Only music and art for the entire duration of 2010 and have gained a broad perspective and insight on my own direction.  Sometimes I think we are never really FOUND, but lost our entire lives….always finding what suits us, for that precise moment in our life.  I’ve gained a new Grand daughter and rekindled the warm spirit of those, most precious to me. I’ve welcomed diversity, change, challenges and road blocks…because I am CERTAIN they are there for a reason. I have the  belief that Everything Happens for a damn good reason…even if we don’t always know what it is, right then and there. Read more

In all my years as a Musician, from pulling in a great income, to falling apart at the seams of my guitar strings…I’m beginning to see, at the point I am in my life…that the Virtual Gigs are a BONUS as far as earning at least half of what you’re worth, if that. However, at the point I’m at in my physical world, the one that surrounds my back yard, alleys and local flavors, I am again…..working on my new Emerging from the ashes of taking over a decade off…..to raise a family…so to say.

So in the past few weeks, I’ve done several local, live shows…in St. Paul and Minneapolis, for virtually nothing.  I’ve cancelled Virtual Online shows, in order to take the exposure to the local scene. I’ve been paid a total of $17.00. Yeah…for over 3 hours of performing!!! Maybe because I’m ‘again…new’….perhaps because I am solo, and no longer use a band (too much of a pain in the ass, to worry about anyone, other than myself)….So in my Studio, I sit in my Pajamas, guitar in hand, a cold drink on my desk…perhaps a burning cigarette (if it’s autumn)…and a Muse that tends to never sleep for days, or sleep for too many days, leaving me feeling useless, when I can’t produce new images, be it Paint or Lyrical Grooves…… Read more

Ya know…I Never understood it, but when Autumn nears, my sensory world escalates to what some would call an acid trip. Everything is brighter and bolder, the wind doesn’t just blow, it actually whispers things…birds don’t Just Fly, they’re preparing for the transition just like most everyone, in some way is.  It’s CRAZY that a large number of people I know, have all gone thru the ‘seasons change’…those with mood disorders are certainly more prone to this, than anyone else I know. I know 4 people, that all in the same 2 week period, that all went back into some rare habit…my ‘recovering’ friends…most have relapsed…and most, do it ABout This Time of the year…..those who quit smoking, start again, for a brief encounter…Hoping it passes SOON for them all…including my own personal struggles with this time of year.

It’s Euphoric when the sun shines at a different angle and the wind blows from a different direction. Everything feels like a beautiful sunburn on the world…the colors get deep and brilliant on the trees, the reds and golds are so astounding, the light scent of earths decay blows thru the screen windows…and no matter HOW many times I’ve seen seasons change, fall Always has the Strongest Impact on my senses!!! My paint brush finds it’s own way to stroke the paper, words find odd places inside phrases running through my head, I’m more accident prone, I’m more distracted, and I’m far more aware of it all, then any other time of the year.

I used to run a support group, many years ago, for those that have been touched with Bipolar, because of the Wicked Beautiful way it works. I remember Every Spring and Every Fall, the massive and obvious changes that took place. Creative souls  are blessed with many gifts, however, the cost of those gifts is steep and the moods that ‘can’ accompany them are sometimes frightening for those who lack the Knowledge of how it all works…it’s different for everyone. To this day I am astounded at the ignorance that surrounds such a ‘disorder’ as some call it…to most of us, it’s a perfect order of thought that gets seriously paved into paper, to words, to music….it’s one of the most glorious things..it’s Built in Therapy! God Knows when our minds are on a journey to do nothing but create, we need all the therapy we can get!!!  I’ve learned..over and over again…many of what ‘others’ might call ‘disorders’ are perfectly organized, because it IS how we see the world.   .  I once wrote…. Just because You see the sky as blue, doesn’t mean I don’t see it red…. it’s the SAME SKY!!! it’s ok that different people see it as a diff. color…it’s just perception. Without the ‘creative souls and the madness of the muse’ you can count on the fact that many coffee shops would be empty of art, radio stations would have less music, the world would still  be flat …. Look at what the “Creative Madness’ has done for the world!!! The greatest writers, artists, mathmaticians and thinkers of our time, were all touched with that Certain Kind of Madness….such a relief to k now…we’re not the ONLY ones who feel crazy..it’s simply because the majority of people see the blue sky….some of us still see it red…no one needs to convince anyone .. differently, but it’s a wonder to see the world through anothers eyes….

Now I have no idea where I was going with this, except I feel compelled, at this time of the year to bring up the ‘order of my thought’….it always puts things into perspective for someone, if not just myself.

You very likely know someone going thru some Head Over Tail Headspin….it’s actually amazing if you get to be a part of it, however it can be pretty bizarre to, if you don’t know what to expect…but the VERY THING you feel compelled to do, is often your built in therapy. I always feel compelled to draw, or create music….if I don’t do this, I will surely have let some part of my soul wither off…and that’s just not going to happen!! Every opportunity to create, has to be taken….it just does. Even if it’s indulging the muse for 5 minutes, when you FEEL her knocking, it means she’s got something for you to present to the world!

I don’t even know where to begin, as once again I realize it’s been a bit of time since I’ve updated my blog. This often happens when life takes over and I get blissfully and wickedly wrapped and caught up inside it. I have spent the past 3 weeks preparing for one of the biggest events in a long time… the Urban Arts Event. http://www.urbanarts-tc.com/ which I was chosen to participate in. 30 Local artists were selected, some had 10 pieces involved, some had one, I had submitted 4 pieces and they chose 3 of them. Pretty great odds, but still, I was blown away and a nervous wreck!!! I had some amazing support from family and friends and people I’ve never even met, until that evening.  I arrived there early and I had asked Joe (one of the coordinators) if I could help and he put my friend and I to work right away. I was more than happy to be helping, as it gave me a first hand look at most All of the art that would be on display. Major amounts of space were used and hundreds of art work hung from various pieces of wood. After about an hour I finally got to my 3 pieces and we set those up as well, directly adjacent to the Jazz Band…which was the best ear candy I’ve had in a long time! The event began at 7PM and went to 1PM. I had come with a friend who offered to join me, however she wanted to leave early and said she would gladly bring me back to her place, and give me directions back so I could just hop in my car. Well, I’m a big hot mess when it comes to driving in unfamiliar territory, so to my major disappointment,  my safest option was to call it a night. Unfortunately I really didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye or thank you to anyone….it was just ‘time to go’….I swallowed my disappointment and decided it’s time to get a GPS, because the only person one can truly count on, is oneself. Lesson 1 was gladly learned and it feels really great to just rely on my own self.

The weekend went by far too quick in the cities, my friend and I spent a lot of time near St. Anthony Main in the cities…she’s a huge history buff and enjoyed filling me in on all the spectacular sights I saw, my camera in hand as I snapped photos, ate amazing food, had some great beers, some great laughs, and really great people watching!!! Being near the water has always been where I feel the most at home, as I was raised in a city that was surrounded by water (Upper Michigan). On Sunday Morning I went to pick up my art, thanked Joe (he and April Erickson..both amazing artists, were the coordinators for the event along with a couple other talented souls who also displayed their art)….I couldn’t thank them enough, and explained to them in so many words my quick departure…gratitude is key in my life, and leaving people without thanking them is not my forte…it’s not what I do.

Coming home was an incredibly welcoming experience, my art in the back of my car, next to my guitar….I had run into my very talented friend MJ Kroll who has a House Party this weekend (see my calendar) and asked if I would like to be a part of it….OH HELL YEAH…this girl knows how to rock the best of them. So a gig on Saturday Aug. 21′st…I hope if you are local, you can make it!! Also on Sept. 16th I will be performing a show at BAR FLY… information here… https://tickets.aftonshows.com/SuzenJueL You may purchase your online tickets there.  And while I’m at it, here are a few BIG DEALS that fans can do … to support an artist. POST the event on your myspace/facebook/twitter. Give people flyers to the event, word of mouth is so necessary. When You purchase the tickets for the show….you will be given fliers to hand out…post one at your job, your apt.building…anywhere. It’s SO Easy and well, I can’t do it all by myself!

This is the time of year, my soul soars and my emotions run strong and steady. I’m so aware of every thing that I see, and the core of my soul, is NEVER wrong. However, I have learned, not everyone is ok with my observations,…sometimes I hit the nail on the head so hard it makes my own head spin, not to mention the head of those around me. Knowledge is power though, and those that truly know me, know my soul. I have sadly learned….not everyone has the compassion to deal with such realities and well, that’s ok, I just don’t have any room for the ignorant of the world…they drain me with their need for constant explanations of themselves and their constant need to for petty attentions. I have also learned…in the most amazing beautiful way, I am CRAZY about the world and even though the people I sometimes surround myself, are often large disappointments, there are so many beautiful things around me…how could I possibly allow the black tar attitude of some, to ever stain my view…No way.  So today, as I’m feeding the birds, a hummingbird lands on my finger….perches there and drinks the  nectar I just poured. The sun rose today and the earth turned golden, the sun is brilliant and warm on my skin, my mother loves me with no conditions, my husband is my best friend ever, and would defend my honor come hell or high water and as each day goes by, I adore him more and more.  NOpe…the world is far from perfect, but it’s perfectly normal to me.

I am still submitting my art to local art shows, and my music to local venue’s. If you are local (FRom the Twin Cities Metro) feel free to pass my links along. But More than ANYTHING ELSE….As a great musician once wrote.. “Don’t let nobody drag your spirit down!!!”  For every one bad egg in your life, there are 11 more that are good, and don’t you ever forget it!!! Sometimes birds can still fly with tattered wings, sometimes babies laugh when we cry, sometimes the sting of the bee is what cures you.

Spread your heart….be compassionate…be loving….and never criticize what you don’t understand, because under that buzzing mound of stingers and bees, is the sweetest honey…and only those that dare prepare themselves for it, will ever know it’s sweetness.

PS . for those wanting Pickles from me….Let me know, I’ve got quite a few jars made!!! Sorry,but it’s not free! All ingredients are from my garden. Dill pickles…garlic, fresh dill…sometimes tumeric and curry…..You pay the shipping and donate what you want to…I’ll mail them to you  (juelresistance@gmail.com  for paypal deposit…put in your note PICKLES)

Wrote this song out of a general perception and point of view on how people tend to look at an artist…lots of word play…recently recorded song…thought I’d experiment with a recent video…ya know…maintain and all that lol Looking forward to your feedback! suzenjuel.com for Calendar and updates

Most of the people I am fortunate enough to know in my life, creative minds…no matter what, all have these ideas..ideas and more ideas. Most of them, never do all their ideas, in fact, no one does that I’m aware of, we tend to focus on One…and do all we can to make it happen.  Some of mine include … currently, taking a photograph and detailing the ingredients of everything I eat. Part of me wants to do this, for food awareness, because I believe food plays an incredible part in our emotional states as well as our health/happiness. I’m also fascinated with food synergy, how powerful food is, when combined with certain types of other foods. Would this be something my readers would want to see?  One of the other reasons I want to do this, is for all the people that I speak to ( on the phone and via the world wide web ) Have told me how much they like the ‘food’ things I post on facebook, etc…as well as flickr.

Food plays a big part in moods, just like it does with anything else in life. Diabetics need to be aware of what they ingest, as well as those with a variety of other various challenges in life. I, with my  bipolar, tend to stay away from red meat, as it tends to irritate me, kind of pisses me off really. No reason, but that my body just doesn’t like to digest it perhaps. I’ll NEVER pass up a bite of my husbands Grilling of steaks…because they are just THAT GOOD, but it’s just a bite…I’m satisfied then..I just wanted a taste and have no desire to eat the whole thing (unless it’s slightly  burnt and very red in the center!)

My Chili

That’s one of my ideas…I’ve already got a nice little stash of FOOD PORN photos in flickr…of various things I’ve made…or made up! haa http://www.flickr.com/photos/suzenjuel/sets/72157611594740820/ This is called ‘ARTISTIC CONSUMPTIONS” but that name will likely change to FOOD PORN….:)

If I do this idea, which I’m already doing, really, in a micro blog type way….I’ll be posting photos of at least 1 meal a day, with the basic ingredients and how to’s of it. WARNING! I LOVE FOOD, a LOT! But I’m also a super healthy eater….(don’t mistake this with being healthy..I just EAT healthy!) lmao!….Lots of veggies, lots of color. If you’re into this…let me know, I would Love some loyal Food Connisuers  to share wonderful ideas with!

Here’s one.

I Love taking Ciabatta bread, spraying with olive oil, pressing down on a hot pan……both sides. Sprinkling parm. cheese all over the top, crushing a few lavender flowers on top of that, a shake of fresh ground black pepper…a fresh spray of olive oil, press down in hot pan again for a minute or less…depending on your HOTNESS…….the parm. cheese forms a wonderful crust….(I’m a lover of lavender…this is your preferences here…lavender has a strong, pungent, distinctive flavor, use sparingly)…..

Dried basil sprinkled on it might be good too……..

PEACE n Good eatin’
