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

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH!  This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
