Thanks mate appreciate the follow and upvote. Yeah my feed is also crazy at times. I try to keep track of my old friends though =)
Yes, I started for the wrong reasons I guess. Now I am continuing for the right reasons =) Will never give up beer completely, but for the 100 Days Challenge it is a big no go. So once that 100 Day mark hits I am going to have a real cold one!
Starcraft? Nope, more of a Path of Exile or Diablo 2/3 kind of guy. Like the grinding. Yeah it's strange how some things can take over your life completely. Steemit is currently become a bit of an addiction. Not posting but learning about how every bit of it works. So fun!
Yeah I still can't do a good pull up. Have to get stronger! Freerunner? Nice! I am really not a fan of running though. Cycling is fun but running kills me every time. Thanks for giving this post a read. Will give your channel a look! =)
You seem to be going over the same path I got through, I hope it's worth it here. Steem gets addicting yes, I remember when I started writing how quickly my focus changed to where is my 1000 dollars :D which kind of defeated the purpose. My first posts were great, but I just stopped writing, I'd rather keep my "soul" than sell it out and make a blog, I like sharing and learning, mostly I didn't have anyone to share before steemit, there aren't many interested people, but there are enough and that's good.
I was playing PoE when I took a steem break after some serious changes and some minor flag wars :D The league is not over but It was the first time I played so much, I played 3-4 Rangers, I still have 1 Witch alive and I also made 4 Templars :D out of who only one is kicking. So flameblast totems are op but, lightning arrow blink is so much fun to play and I died to reflect for the first time :D like a total retards, let's just say don't game in the wee hours, I was so hammered I shot a mob almost died and then though well let's retreat, just as I was I decided I'd kill it and guess what I dealt the mega damage :D smart :D and I just finished the ranger midgame aaanyways PoE might be fun when they get the 10 acts and the new "game"
about the beer, yes finish up on what you have started and don't think about the old life, it's what it is, you can't have both the extreme example would be, you can't drink all day and train all day (maybe vikings can who knows) give it some time, focus on your diet eat healthy food and you ill be healthy, take care of your self, don't stress out too much. Other than that water and air do a great job if you have nature around you will be better off.
I'm rarely in the steemit chat, but on some rare occasions I stumble across some decent people :) Thanks for sharing your story, if you are interested in my blog it's very small at the moment, I have around 20 posts, most are summed up here I'd suggest the play "category", sadly I didn't end up making my 90 posts so far it seems to be getting harder and harder to blog, other than that I have a post on reading, on learning, two on trading and some others probably ranting about this and that, which is a pervasive thing I do it seems
:D I won't be linking my 20 posts that's too much already :D
basically I'm a ghost here, I got really annoyed when the flagging was going on, then once the follow me follow you upvote me welcome you, that and the fact I have to start from scratch it seems :D like any social media people forget about you after a month of not going in their face each day :)
well I hope you have fun I sure have, I've read more here for a year than I have for the past 5, stopped YT, learned a lot and got some decent communication with great people, I hope it goes the same way for you :)
Wow, that is by far the longest reply to I have ever received here on Steemit! Took me a while to get through it all! Yes the journey here started with a goal of money in mind. Now it has changed quite a bit. Still nice getting a decent payout from time to time but will only blog every now and then. Try to do at least one a day but as we all know life sometimes get in the way and the ideas come and go. So when I am really in the mood I blog! Flagging wars, I am scared to get involved in one of those. I just sit here on the sideline with popcorn in hand trying to stay away from the bombs dropping.
PoE was really great, I had quite a few characters. The planning tool almost longer than the actual playing time. lol. Those Totem were OP I agree but OMG so much fun messing around with all the crazy cool mechanics. I will get back to it when the new game drops. Know it will be very time consuming so I will just make a character and see where it all leads to. Not to muc hplanning, just more fun in mind... Knowing myself I will scratch that character after a few hours, create a new one and plan the heck out of it... Still I know it will take too much of my time.
Finding some nice people on here is not too hard to do, I have made some good friends so far. Working together and sharing Ideas, really cool people. There are the few though that looks past the big picture and just throws out post after post with little further intereactuin. I tend to keep the good friends close. Steemit takes a lot of time, not exactly blogging but reading up on things and learning more about how everything works. I Also like to help where I can so that also takes up quite a bit of time.
I will have a look at your posts, skimmed over them briefly, will save them for my calm reading time =) Will also give you a follow as you seem like a cool dude. (once again my feed is sometimes crazy so will try my best to go over my closer followers at least once a week and see what they are up to.
I must agree that this place is major fun. Will see where this journey takes me. Thanks for your super long message! Enjoyed it. Felt like a mini post =D
:) I do that, half of my comments are mostly like that, I just let go and spam away :D I have many interests and it's helpful in this case. I've done a lot of exploration on topics, so I have a few gems here and there :D
Thank you so much in this case, I'm happy I found another like minded individual, there should be communities in the making coming soon around a few months from now Q4 :D at least it was outlined in the plans for this year, I kind of wanted to form some without the functionality, but yeah, too much, I can't be steeming and chatting 20 hours a day :D
other than that everything you've said is true, I could answer your questions to the best of my abilities since as I've said I've been doing the same things. If you need help with markdown formatting, maybe html, questions on the "front end"(steemit) since I'm not a coder and code isn't my specialty, I'm good user and I know some tricks :D also if you need some good bloggers on your sight I could share you my favorite ones, even if I read a bit from everything and I can't seem to stay focused on one thing too long, I must have read probably 5000 posts at least :D so as you can see I have a problem with writing, I tend to go on and on and on :D so I have to draw some lines, one being not spamming too much, If I post, I probably have been thinking about it for at least a day and write around 2-3 hours :D that's one of the reason's I don't do much. I just cant find the time and motivation to spend 5-6 hours a day. Organization is important too and networking takes even longer, so I tend to stay in the shadows, hold conversations read what's fun and move on until i get 100k in some stash so I can start caring less about problems and focus on improving many of the many skillsets I've grown so far. I can't do that when I comment 20 times for 10 minutes at a time :D I get burned out quick, so far I'm doing pretty well today, flow and all :)
About those lines, time to draw in the sand :D Cheers mate :)
Hey mate! Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Been a bit busy with this and that. Finally weekend and I'm still busy! Haha. But I am relaxing a bit and blowing of some steam with some games.
So you have been around quite a bit and have been reading a lot. See you have not made a lot of posts. Curious to know what you think about voring trails and closer communities. I am currently working on a project like that.
So many posts just falling through the cracks while other users still making hundreds simply because of voting trails and people going for the curation rewards. Regardless of their content. Not to rant about this. It is what it is. This is all a delicate ecosystem and we all have to find our way to be succesful.
Thanks for offering help with things. If i need anything I will let you know for sure. Think I have most of it down for now. Thanks
Anyways before I make this too long, if you are registered on steemit.chat we should chat a bit
