Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince, cajole, coercebeg, ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series  WHO ARE YOU?

My first victim, guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra. I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say:

Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today.
Tra: My pleasure.
Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready?
Tra: Ready
Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living?
Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums.
Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How long have you been salesman for Kirby?
Tra: I’ve been doing it for 3 years now.
Mackgurl: 3 years? Cool! I’m guessing since you’re still with them that you like the job.            What do you like about the job the most and what do you maybe not like so much?
Tra: I like it because it’s great money and you can be your own business owner. And you meet plenty of different people from different walks of life. Hmm,  what I don’t like about it? Cleaning people’s house to sell them lol
Mackgurl: LMAO Yeah, I can see how cleaning someone’s house would been no fun at all. Especially if they turn around and say no afterwards.
Tra: LOL
Mackgurl: So Tra, I know you like your current job but what would be your dream job? The one career that you want in your heart of hearts? And what if anything is keeping you from your dream?
Tra: My dream career is to become a rapper and nothing’s stopping me but the money…  but that’s why I am working for Kirby…to fund my music career.
Mackgurl: A rapper? WOW!!! Do you currently have any music produced?
Tra: Yes, yes I have plenty of music out!
Mackgurl: So there are tons of artists out now. Who would you say your style is most reminiscent of?
Tra:  I wouldn’t be the person to answer that because I try not to sound like anyone. I barely listen to anyone else unless they’re on the radio.
Mackgurl: An artist with a different sound? Very nice! I would love to hear something. Would you like to share your “name” and a link to where we can listen to your music?
Tra: Yes, my music is different indeed. I go by “Tra”  and my music is on Apple Music  

Album · 2018 · 12 Songs


Mackgurl: Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me today. Alright, one final  question, Tra. ...Who are you?
Tra: That’s a great question. I am ME… unapologetically.



Well there you have it. The first of the interviews in the WHO ARE YOU series. If you would like to be interviewed or know someone who would, drop me a line mackgurl@gmail.com Many thanks, once again to Tra. Don’t forget to check out his music. I did and already have a couple faves downloaded.

Peace,
Mackgurl

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

POP QUIZ

You guys ever take one of those online quizzes? " WHAT YOUR FAVORITE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU" ... Or the ones about your astrological sign?  "WHAT MAKES A CANCER HAPPY?". .. "IF YOU'RE A PISCES YOU ARE THE ROMANTIC TYPE"   If you did, were the results accurate? I mean did they fit you and your personality? I've taken a few of these sorts of quizzes - just for fun. Astrology? Yeah, I've read my horoscope from time to time. Most of the time the results and the astrological stuff kinda fit and sometimes I'm like - hmm, that is SOOOOO not me. Either way, they usually make me think wow, am I really like that? I took a personality quiz - basically it was to determine if you are left-brained or right-brained. Most agree now that there isn't a clear distinction and that most people have traits/characteristics of both. Here are my results...pretty good but definitely missing a few Like there was nothing mentioned about me being artistic or imagin...

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...
