Similar to a question I answered last year.

So I am going to tell you about how I received the name Shakerman. A long time ago I went into this bar called Sky Bar on Fourth Avenue. I went there to attend an open mic, which is a good way to have an audience listen to my music and no pressure. It is only a little sample of what I do. I can only perform for like fifteen minutes, so it is not that long. Maybe three lyrics or songs at best. I don’t get paid for the open mic, but in the future if I want a gig. It is a good idea to first go to open mics, to build a fan base and see if anyone likes what I do.

Well, one night I was performing, playing the shaker and singing/screaming and I had the name pop in my head, “Shakerman” because I play the shaker and sing/scream. So, from there on, I was known as Shakerman. This is the Shaker I used.

This shaker has seen it all. It is the oldest shaker I own. It is light weight so it isn’t that heavy and it provides a nice sound. Thank you for reading.

Dream job won’t hurt to try-

Everyday, I write lyrics and play drums or the shaker and I sing a little. It may be in my head, but it still counts as singing. As long as the words form in my head, it should be substantial. I cannot belt out clever lyric because I live in an apartment and I don’t want to disturb my neighbors.

I have always wanted to be a musician. I love playing music, playing drums, singing, and playing shakers. They are all fun to do. Now, if I could get paid for this, this would be the ultimate job for me. They say follow your passion. So there it is in a nutshell, a musician.

Somewhere under the moon is my dream job of being a musician. Thank you for reading

Hopeful for the leader

A good leader has the confidence to lead. He is organized, a great public speaker. She has worked in a lot of different positions in the organization. Then, they move her in the position of leadership after some time doing the grunt work. She is responsible, reliable, and very outgoing and outspoken. She is a little bossy to get things done in the organization. She empathizes well and practices what she speaks. She is not a hypocrite. She is nice to a point, but don’t push her because she knows when to use her authority. She knows when to get to work and when it is appropriate to play. She has good judgement and makes sound decisions. Thank you for reading.

Uninvite the killing field of all things!

If I could uninvent something, it would be the gun or pistol because a lot of people die or get hurt because of the pistol. There are countless deaths because people wanted to be right. They get in arguments with people and shoot someone because they disagree with them. So hand guns kill many people annually.

I received the bullet in the head from a pistol. A 22 magnum gun, pistol with a 22. Caliber bullet. So if hand guns were not invented I would not have gotten shot in the head.

See pistols are easier to hold all you do is point them with one hand or sometimes two, if they kick back and press the trigger and wham, you shoot. They are much more convenient than a rifle, where you have to hold it with both hands, or arms and press the rifle against your shoulder, so it doesn’t kick, well it depends on the caliber of rifle. Sure, I could have been shot with a rifle, but I probably was standing very close to him when he shot me in the head. So if he would have pointed the rifle at me. I probably would have gotten out of the way hopefully.

In conclusion-I would uninvent the pistol because many people die, or get hurt annually because of it. Thank you for reading.

Cluttered up

Everything is cluttered up gotta figure out a way to turn off my brain from making me go crazy. My brain worries a lot instead of just going with the flow of things. I find myself sleeping a lot because the clutter of worrying is too much for me. The clutter in my brain is there because I think I drink too much coffee and it makes me paranoid, but I need the coffee to stay alert. So it is a double edge sword. Plus, I have too many bills, so there is some of the cause of the worrying. I just need to practice deep breathing exercises. They seem to help. I’m disabled so it is kind of hard to do yoga, but I bet that would help too. Sleep 😴 always makes the worry go away. Thank you for reading.

Staring up at the moon makes the worry go away too  because there is something refreshing about looking up at the moon.

I have answered the question, what is my favorite animal.

It is still the same answer,a tortoise, because they are slow like me and eat the same foods as me. They eat carrots, lettuce, maybe some kale, and other leafy vegetables.

Now to change it up, what was my favorite animal owning. That is easy, it was Priscilla the tortoise. My grandfather gave it to me as a pet when I was very young. I took her for walks and fed her tomatoes, lettuce, and other leafy vegetables. One day, she got into our utility room and was never seen again. I should have gotten her a cage, or at least a box. Priscilla the tortoise was able to roam freely around the house, which was a mistake. I should have confined the tortoise and I could have had Priscilla for more years than I did have her. I was sad to lose her but I learned a lesson, have a cage or a box at least for the tortoise. Thank you for reading.

These are the foods that a tortoise will eat, ex out the biscuits and fries and they have a good mealm

Communicate online-

There are numerous ways I communicate online, such as Facebook, Instagram, AOL email, Gmail, Jetpack, Yelp sometimes, X, Snapchat, tick tock. Those are the main ones. I can sometimes be inidated by many ways to communicate online. My job doordash communicates with me online, such as the customer through the app. They let me know where to put their food, or give me more accurate directions, or to ask for more hot sauce packets, which every time I ask for more, the restaurant is like the packets are in the bag. Plus we can never open the bags and check because the customer doesn’t want us breathing on their food. So that is a strict no no for us.

So with many ways to communicate with each other, I just find ones I like, like Jetpack, Facebook, and Instagram. Those are my favorite. I am sure there will be others to add to this list sooner or later. Thank you for reading.

One memorable road trip.

I think it was back in 2006, when I drove to Los Angeles from Tucson. More specifically, Hollywood. I went for a weekend trip, while I was still in college. I did not do anything very interesting. I stayed at a Day’s Inn and ate salad at McDonald’s. It was very reasonable back then. Now, I don’t think McDonald’s has salads, but back then they did. Go figure, it was a long time ago. I also went to a Guitar Music store, because there, they would have a drum set setup for anyone to play, so while I was staying in Hollywood or Los Angeles I would go there to drum. It was a great time ,to listen to all the guitar players do amazing things on their guitars. I also went to Gold’s gym, while I was there, which was nicer than the one in Tucson. I received a weekend pass from my Gold’s gym so I could work out for free. It was a great thing. I really didn’t do any sight seeing. It was only for a weekend, then I drove back to Tucson and that was that. Now I pray the fires in Los Angeles will end soon, before any other places in Los Angeles county burn down. Thank you for reading.

When I was a child

The item I loved when I was a child was the Atari setup I had. Atari was the first gaming system I could plug into my TV and play games. I had many games, such as PAC-MAN, Space Invaders, chess, tanks, etc. It was not very good graphics, but I still had fun playing it. I would play most of the games with a joystick, so they only took one hand to play them.  The thumb could press the button on the top of the joystick 🕹ī¸ (to shoot things or to accelerate) and your arm and hand could move the character on the TV. So it was good for me because I only had one hand due to the injury I sustained. I had acquired the Atari before the injury, but it was good it could be played with one hand. Everyday, after I finish my homework from school. I would play the Atari.

Now one day, my family and I moved and my mom had sold my Atari for the move. I was livid, but I soon moved on, but even to this day. I remember how much fun I had with that Atari, blowing things up, such as the opponents tank, or racing cars. It was a lot of fun. Thank you for reading.
