I’m a Rural Letter Carrier. College educated but I didn’t complete my last course to get my degree for personal reasons. And I host Karaoke and DJ for extra cash and for fun when I can find work.

In my researching of streaming I decided it’s not for me. However, if I were to stream I’d want my first followers to be my local PD. “SWAT”ing is just too scary. And at best I’d be cringe. I’m content being a nobody on here and waiting for another karaoke gig to fall in my lap. 🤞🏻🤪🤷🏼‍♂️

So in lieu of touch grass gigs. I’m going to start streaming. I’m always practicing so might as well stream. Not selling anything. Just want to show what I do to get hired. Maybe. 🤞🏻

Pardon the asymmetry. Strong storms inbound so I was just seeing how long it took me to get up the canopy. I can break it all down and into the carry bag <30min. I’ll time myself setting up everything when the weather isn’t at issue. With this and my generator I can setup anywhere. 😝🤪. Yay!!

So. I finally saw the new Evolve 70 & 90 from #ElectroVoice. More motivation to find work. I’ll never sell any of my EV Systems. But I can’t wait to pick up an Evolve 90 too. Now #ElectroVoice make me a EVERSE Battery powered Subwoofer!!! I believe in you!!

Only had time for one run of #nightreign today. Thanks for the patch #FromSoft!! Felt much better. Also, first “reconnected” session I’ve experienced. Awesome feature as I only had time for one run! Great fun even wiping at <10% on Libra. I’m total rando runner and I appreciate the patch. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

“We’re all going to die.” - Sen Joni Ernst. R-IA “We’re all gonna die!!” - Beavis ‘The Great Cornholio’ No comment. Just going to leave this here. Been wanting the “Do America” soundtrack on vinyl because it’s got THE best version of “I wanna riot”. Which has been on my mind for no reason. 🤷🏼‍♂️😝🖕

Handling getting neutered like a champ. Although he forgot how to walk. He sits. Just pick him up. Move him wherever and he’ll just ponder the universe for ya.

My lil studio buddy. I’m working and playing tunes. And Idaho is just chilling. ❤️

Trying to get them to play more. Their focuses are completely different. Ghanimah is focused on pedestrians and barking. Idahos are his big sister and me. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Starting a new ritual of playing music outside while the dogs play.

Ghanimah always has the weirdest look. But is in fact quite the Lady and well trained. Do not let Idaho fool you. He is The Great Destroyer.

I loved the rally. I want to fight more in this way. Maybe more music and a better PA (mine) but it wasn’t my office hosting. And I didn’t press the issue. But I watched and learned.

Healthy. Gained 6 pounds and he’s a Pit/Staffordshire mix. Which means he’s either going to be huge or this sized.

After the vet. Dropped by the Post Office so Idaho can say hi to his friends.

I don’t know how many years I have left. I’m going to get weird with it.

The first time he got so dizzy he fell over. He’s learning. ❤️ Idaho.

The let my hair down for a friends party setup.

My basic DJ setup.

Working prototype. Going to Home Depot for mounts for the sampler and vocal tweeker. And zip ties for cable management. After that I found some cheap battery powered pars and a motorized wash. I think it was a wash. Whatever cheap lightweight lights.

Ok so when I add text explaining the video it won’t post. That video is my “Tailgate rig”. I’m building it to mercenary mobile DJ for tailgaters at this years OU games. I’m still looking for somewhere to entertain. No luck. I can remove the Everse 8 and have WIFI wireless to hook into a house system

Listen to Salvation (Mindless Self Indulgence Remix) on your streaming service tidal.com/track/482976... KMFDM and MSI. See it ain’t the worst, worst timeline.

RIP David Boren. I never knew him but my family did. Always good stories. Good man.

Puppies cure depression. I’m still a mess but it’s nice to have access to the energy depression fed on. I’ll probably fuck it up again. But at least I have my energy back!

Queen of my house Ghanimah was cool once she realized I didn’t bring home a girl dog. I think if he doesn’t belong to anyone looking for him. I’ll call him “Idaho” Duncan Idaho. I a Herbert nerd. Books > 70’s film > modern film. And I think the modern one is pretty. No ToTo or Piter Devries tho… 🤷🏼‍♂️

Picked up an abandoned parcel out on my Postal Route. Asked around the very rural area. No one knew him. I’m taking him to the vet tomorrow to get shots and checked and scan for a chip.

I am having a great time. My karaoke customer from down south, my first wedding I ever did, are here. I pointed out my customer who is also here. Two separate customer bases. And she played his song on the juke box. He of course sang over it. Then she played/sang her song. The vibes were strong. Yes

Yay!! Good news! More to follow.

Merry Christmas
