A Brief Introduction to Who I Am, Between Marijuana, Sobriety, Crypto, Being a DAD, and Getting Buff

Will you join me for pizza or pasta to enjoy deep thoughts and some good laughs?

Hello, my name is Paul Vincent Saurini. I’m a new blogger on Steemit and I want to write a brief intro about myself.

My educational background is in philosophy. I couldn’t imagine having studied anything else. This was the destined choice for me, and it has been a great precursor for many of the things I’ve gone on to accomplish.

I have worn many professional hats over the years. I began in college by learning about web development during the early years of the internet. I also started making music recordings in the early 90s, and I’ve come a long way with my skill. Guitar is my main instrument, but I have a solid understanding of music theory and am able to write on many different instruments. Both my musicianship and producing skills have blossomed a great deal since starting out, and there’s never been a shortage of new things to learn in life.

I’ll post more music that I’ve recorded over the years as time goes on.

In 2005, I was an early adopter of podcasting. I once sent a bouquet of roses to iTunes to get their attention and it worked. They generously featured my podcast, “Marijuana Radio” in their directory. It was a prolific endeavor spanning several years. For reasons I won’t get into, it no longer exists, but it was an extraordinary experience while it lasted.

I became a father for the first time in 2009 and it’s been the most significant experience of my life. It inspired me to make the hard choice to sober up. I have had many years of complete sobriety, and it has been very good for me spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

More recently, I’ve started investing in cryptocurrency. I believe in these new technological mediums, especially with blockchain. The potential it has to unleash enormous opportunities for people all over the world is especially riveting.

I'm also majorly into fitness. I've worked out hard for years and increased my body mass quite a bit. I love both lifting weights and doing cardio.

My plan on Steemit is to talk about many things. Please watch out for me posting videos, more music, or expressing my thoughts on many topics. I may review a movie, or talk about something having to do with crypto currency, or for fun, I may post pictures of my life’s experience. In any case, I welcome you to say hello and to follow me on this journey.
