Upon Completing a Highly Anticipated Accomplishment Like my Gig

Inhibited people live to criticize risk takers and creators, it’s perverse.

About Completing a Gig

Everyone goes crazy making plans. Sometimes we get fatigued going so crazy making plans. Tonight’s post is about unplanning things how to live once you died to your plan whether it’s over or if you just need to let it go to plan another day.

Appearing and Recording on the Lambcast Today – My 6 Draft Film Picks from the year 1984, all horrors and beaches here are vying to be my #1 . It’s impossible to pick, but I had to so I did.

Listen to the Lambcast or I will come over there and beat your ass to a bloody, pulpy stump. Nothing could better for you if you like movies. You’ve been advised! And of course, listen and subscribe to Riley on Film 🙂

I was 14 when I first saw all these films. I’ve ordered them by gut feeling but they are all #1 worthy to me.

Weekly Roundup 08/03/2024 – Media and muse from last week.

What a wonderful week it was. My gig was everything that I planned it would be and so much more.

My shocking surprise car accident did not get in the way of me planning and completing my gig. I did reach out and ask for help online. kudos to all those people, there are about six or seven of you, that donated either small amounts or a couple gave large amounts I have to tell you that is why I was successful at my gig because of your generosity so enjoy the videos here. Some of them are longer than others and some don’t even have performing in them for like 30 minutes on end go ahead and fast forward until you see me singing and start those there otherwise I chopped a lot of concerts from last week into single songs and you’ll find them here as well if you have any questions let me know otherwise I will see you next time.

I Think I’m Being as Productive as Most Average Persons in this Heat but for an INFP? After my gig Friday, I fully expect to pass out w a smile on my face.

Holy mackerel Batman it’s hot.

I tested out as an INFP the last time I took the Meyers/Briggs personality indicator test:

“INFP (Mediator) is a personality type with the Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Prospecting traits. These rare personality types tend to be quiet, open-minded, and imaginative, and they apply a caring and creative approach to everything they do.

Although they may seem quiet or unassuming, people with the INFP personality type (Mediators) have vibrant, passionate inner lives. Creative and imaginative, they happily lose themselves in daydreams, inventing all sorts of stories and conversations in their mind. INFPs are known for their sensitivity – these personalities can have profound emotional responses to music, art, nature, and the people around them. They are known to be extremely sentimental and nostalgic, often holding onto special keepsakes and memorabilia that brighten their days and fill their heart with joy.

Idealistic and empathetic, people with the INFP personality type long for deep, soulful relationships, and they feel called to help others. Due to the fast-paced and competitive nature of our society, they may sometimes feel lonely or invisible, adrift in a world that doesn’t seem to appreciate the traits that make them unique. Yet it is precisely because INFPs brim with such rich sensitivity and profound creativity that they possess the unique potential to connect deeply and initiate positive change.

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.

INFP (Mediator) personality
The Gift of Empathy
INFP personalities share a sincere curiosity about the depths of human nature. Introspective to the core, they’re exquisitely attuned to their own thoughts and feelings, but they yearn to understand the people around them as well. INFPs are compassionate and nonjudgmental, always willing to hear another person’s story. When someone opens up to them or turns to them for comfort, they feel honored to listen and be of help.

Empathy is among the INFP personality type’s greatest gifts, but at times it can be a liability. The troubles of the world weigh heavily on their shoulders, and these personalities can be vulnerable to internalizing other people’s negative moods or mindsets. Unless they learn to set boundaries, INFPs may feel overwhelmed by just how many wrongs there are that need to be set right.

Speaking Their Truth
Few things make INFP personalities more uneasy than pretending to be someone they aren’t. With their sensitivity and their commitment to authenticity, people with this personality type tend to crave opportunities for creative self-expression. It comes as no surprise, then, that many famous INFPs are poets, writers, actors, and artists. They can’t help but muse about the meaning and purpose of life, dreaming up all sorts of stories, ideas, and possibilities along the way.

INFPs have a talent for self-expression. They may reveal their innermost thoughts and secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.
Through these imaginative landscapes, these soulful personalities can explore their own inner nature as well as their place in the world. While this is a beautiful trait, INFPs sometimes show a tendency to daydream and fantasize rather than take action. At times, these personalities may intensely deliberate with themselves in their heads, wrestling with their options until the last possible moment. To avoid feeling frustrated, unfulfilled, or incapable, INFPs need to make sure that they take decisive steps to turn their dreams and ideas into reality.

In Search of a Calling
People with this personality type tend to feel directionless or stuck until they connect with a sense of purpose for their life. For many, this purpose has something to do with uplifting others. And while they want to help anyone and everyone, INFP personalities need to focus their energy and efforts – otherwise, they can end up exhausted.

Fortunately, like flowers in the spring, an INFP’s creativity and idealism can bloom even after the darkest of seasons. Although they know the world will never be perfect, they still care about making it better however they can. This quiet belief in doing the right thing may explain why INFP personalities so often inspire compassion, kindness, and beauty wherever they go. “

In this heat, I’m having trouble finding that IMDB higher calling to get out of my bed. You???

Since the accident I have been driven to do stuff, and I have. I am all practiced up and ready for my Summer gig at Hilltop. It is the day after tomorrow. I hope you can make it there if interested. I hope to make it sound as nice as possible for ya! This morning I did another creative project in having 2 amazing film enthusiasts on my podcasts: My dad, Gerry Riley, and the head of the Lambcast, Richard Kirkham to review the Harrison Ford film “The Call of the Wild.” It was amazing but I don’t mind telling you I am tapped of all my energy. I plan to go back to bed as my nerve jarred eye and head heals. I don’t mind telling you I have been asking myself why I do anything creative at all in life, no the least of which being playing concerts and producing a podcast. When that lady hit me a few days ago, it drove me to perform and create but I’m afraid all I plan to do the next day (Thu) is of no proud consequence to an INFP. I just want to eat, sleep, and go do my gig Friday.

Hope you can make it out. Thanks!
