What’s the story behind your nickname?
When I was at an open mic a long time ago. Open mic is where someone can display their talents in front of an audience at a bar, let it be comedy, singing, playing an instrument, whatever talent you have to share for an audience. Well at open mic, they called me Shaker man because I would sing songs and play the shaker. It was fun. Maybe one of these days I will do that again. Thank you for reading.
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?
In this blog, I will talk about what strategies I use to maintain my health and well-being? Everyday, I eat an apple and drink water throughout the day. I also eat yogurt which is good protein. Then I eat a salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, carrots, spinach, with some Asian dressing. I eat this type of salad everyday. I also drum and sing songs on the drum set which can count as exercise because it is physical. I also eat pears and bananas for fiber purposes every day.
I also do sit ups and crunches for exercise, to keep thin. I also walk for my job with Doordash when I need to find where the customers’ house is. Lastly, I eat another salad most of the nights of the week.
What are your future travel plans?
In this blog I will discuss what my future travel plans are. Many people travel all over the world and have great stories and memories of traveling all over the world.
I am not that into traveling because I have enough money to go about to my parking lot at my apartment. If I was going to travel, I would need to make more money than I do presently.
If I was going to travel anywhere, I would want to go to Disneyland in Anaheim California. I would just spend a couple days going on the rides there. It would be great fun.
In conclusion my future plans are to go to Disneyland and ride the rides there with my sister. Thank you for reading.
What would you change about modern society?
In this blog I will discuss what I would change about modern society. I would change and add more opportunities for everyone, especially people with disabilities because for a person like me with use of one arm, there are not a lot of opportunities out there. I work hard but I would like to use the degree in Social work. I have tried, but most of the places I apply to are fast paced, which to my dismay, I don’t get the job.
So I would like to see more opportunities for people with disabilities and specifically stating people with disabilities would be encouraged to apply. Jobs for people with disabilities are hard to come by because when they see me, they automatically start by saying I don’t think he can do the job. So they don’t give me a chance to prove I can do the job.
So what I am saying is more job opportunities for people with disabilities also a preference for a person with a disability. Thank you for reading.
What do you listen to while you work?
In this blog, I will discuss what I listen to while I am at work. I do Doordash (delivering food and other items to customers of Doordash). I am in my car a lot so I listen to the radio. I listen to 96. 1 KLPX a rock and roll station. They play bands such as Yes, the Beatles, Motley Crue and much more. I also listen to 102. 1 KFMA a newer Rock/Alternative station. They play bands like Disturbed, Nirvana, Pearl jam and groups with an edge to them. I also like to listen to the Rap station 98.3 Hot station. They play music by Kendrick Lamar, Dababy, and Eminem. I also like the old school R and B station on 94.5. They play The Gap Band, Two pac, Rick James and other bands also.
Well in a nutshell, those are the groups, music, or stations I listen to at work to keep me going and delivering food and other items to people. Thank you for reading.
What’s your go-to comfort food?
Comfort foods are foods that bring back your childhood or are nostalgic foods. Or if you are worried or sad about something. You will eat these foods. Mine are apples and pears when I am worried or sad about something. I often drink coffee along with the apple 🍎 and pear.
When I am feeling nostalgic I eat Little Caesars Pizza. This is the ultimate comfort food for me because of the sweetness in the red sauce and the carbohydrates in the dough. My parents, while I was growing up, used to bring Little Caesars Pizza, so there is an aspect of nostalgia to Little Caesars Pizza. It is a great comfort food pizza. Thank you for reading
What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?
My favorite game is Clash Royale because I have to blow up castles, three castles more specifically. I play the game on my cell phone. I use different characters like the Pekka to blow up the opponents castles. The board is set up where there are three castles to the top of my screen, which are the opponents. Then mine at the bottom of the screen. Then we send characters over to the opponents castles and try to blow the castles up. I use characters to defend my castles, so the opponent doesn’t blow up the castles and vice versa. You can blow up the castles with missiles too. Once, I blow up one to three castles I win, or if the opponent blows up my castles he wins. It is very addicting. The games are only about three minutes long.
In conclusion my favorite game is Clash Royale because I have to blow up the opponents castles, or he blows up my castles.It is a competitive game. Thank you for reading.
What foods would you like to make?
In this blog, I will go over what I would like to make? I am not really a chief. Mostly I make salads a lot of the time because they are easy to make and taste good. Plus, I can make them without having to cook them because I have burnt things in the past, like my hand on boiling water from spaghetti. So salads are my specialty.
With that being said, I would one day like to try to make chicken burgers. The way that Popeyes does, Louisiana style, that would be nice. Maybe I could put the chicken patties on the grill so they could cook. Then, when they are done, put them on a hamburger bun and put Sarachi sauce on the chicken patties. Then put lettuce, pickles, purple cabbage, and tomatoes on them. Then put the top bun on the chicken patty burgers and enjoy. They would look similar to this. I could also have fries with them. Thank you for reading.
Dogs or cats?
In this blog, I will talk about dogs or cats. If I had to pick one. I would pick cats because they are not as loud as dogs. Dogs bark and make a lot of noise. I owned a dog and it also chewed on my good socks so no to the dog. Another thing you have to take a dog outside to do its business, which can be a pain in the rump. Where cats just poop in a cat litter box which you dump out when it is full. The only thing about cats is that you need a scratch post, or else they will shred your furniture or clothes to a mess of strings.
It is not ideal to have a dog in an apartment, but some people make it work somehow. I guess people like dogs because they can take it for a walk and get exercise, but I get plenty with drumming.
In conclusion- cats if I had to choose one, but no to both because I can’t take care of a cat or dog. I can barely take care of myself. The only pet I need is Darcy the drum set. Thank you for reading.
Which activities make you lose track of time?
In this blog, I will go over what activities make me lose track of time. There are lots of activities that make me lose track of time. Some of them are playing the shaker, drums, or singing with friends. This activity is one of my favorite things to do because if we get a jam going we can play for hours. It is so fun.
Sleeping is another one. I can sleep for hours upon hours especially in my bed. It is so comfortable. It is funny, I used to have a couch that put everyone who sat on it asleep, including myself. It was quite funny.
Watching good movies or reading good books is another activity that I could do for hours upon hours.
I must admit I am a screen head because I am always on my smartphone. I read articles, play games, listen to music, all on my cell phone. I could do this for hours. I also call friends and sometimes family but only to check in with them so it is not too long. The other activities I do longer.
Work is another activity that makes me lose track of time. When I am trying to find a house on Doordash. It can be frustrating, but once I find it. It is all good.
In conclusion- playing music with friends, sleeping, watching movies or reading books, being on my cell phone, and working all make me lose track of time. Thank you for reading.
