^{I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm always busy trying to play a little game of one-upmanship with myself.} How do I top that?

I don't have much today.

^{I do want to say thank you though.}

That was a nice warm welcome.

My first ever Steem Leo post hits the top of the charts. I'll be remembering that one.

At the same time, the same post was in the top slot on Palnet.

You would not believe how long I've been waiting to be able to do something like that, organically.

All I did was write something and hit the post button; then hoped for the best.

I've been here nearly three years. Never felt better. Had some good times but damn, I think I finally won that little game of one-upmanship, with myself. I suppose that means my life is complete.

Steemit

^{Shape up. That post should have been number one trending there as well.}

Ha! I'm just messing around. Don't need to be getting all greedy now.

Speaking of greed. Things kind of changed, didn't they?

A top trending post within any one of these tribes turns out to be the most generous offering to the community, under the 50/50 model, taking the organic approach. Isn't that something?

New people coming in; they need to know that. It's a group effort and damn near everyone stepped up to the plate. I don't have a sense of selfishness flowing through my veins. It's an offering to the tribe, like the old days. I brought a dead animal home and everyone gets to eat.

There's always been a lot of animosity; jealousy. Someone starts out fresh. They see all that money. They look at their own post. Not much there. The next day, same thing. The next day, same thing. The next day! Same thing!

"What's going on here!"

^{"I spent seventeen hours writing my post!"}

"The cat was meowing the whole time! And I can't even buy cat food! How am I supposed to explain this to the cat!"

"Sorry kitty!"

^{"Daddy sucks!"}

"I hate my job and it's their fault! Their fault for earning so much!"

"Their cats probably get the gourmet stuff!"

But now all the kitties can eat.

Anyway

^{What I meant to say was:}

I got to meet a lot of new faces.

And if you're one of those who's new to all things @NoNamesLeftToUse, there's something you should know.

I don't normally write those kind of posts (my previous post).

I don't expect everyone to enjoy what I'm usually doing on this blockchain either. At the same time, I don't want to freak you out. You came here today, maybe. Were you expecting me to explode about cats? Probably not.

I wasn't expecting me to do that either. It just all kinda happened.

I never know what I'm going to do today, or tomorrow. Next Friday, pff, I dunno. I just hit keys and words come out.

I like to be entertaining. Sometimes I try too hard and make an ass outta myself.

I'm an artist, I guess. More of what's known as an outsider artist. According to facts, my stuff won't be well known and appreciated until long after my death. I'm fine with that. I'll be dead, so it won't bother me, plus I put the keys in the will, for my kids. I told them to live as long as they can, even if it means a head inside of a jar with robot legs; because future.

I produce digital art. Scroll down my blog someday and look at all the chaos. I made all that. This is my 751^st post. It would take days to look at it all.

Am I crazy?

^{Yeah. A little bit.}

I think it takes a special kind of crazy to come here and put on a show. Blogging for crypto; kinda crazy. We all have a little bit of it inside of us. It's a good thing. We're all pioneers. Hoping for a better future. A better future for our families, our friends here. It's cool.

I like it.

And I like the fact, now, if I feel like putting on my suit and tie, talking some business with you folks out there; there's a place to go. There's a place for me to go to learn from you folks as well. All neatly sorted into a nice little pile.

Steem Leo, that's a nice place you have there. I certainly won't use the tag for this post though. Wouldn't make much sense to do that.

These tribes/communities offer us all more flexibility. It's not easy to pick one topic and roll with it, forever. For nearly three years, I've bounced around.

My following doesn't seem to mind the variety. It's good to keep people on their toes as well, always wondering what's next, but never knowing. I've done a fine job of that, for nearly three years. I think anyone else can as well. Feel free.

Some days the post is long, some days it's short. Some days I ramble, like this.

Other days

^{I just want to say thanks.}

Thanks for that warm welcome. It's nice to meet all you fresh new faces who started following my blog recently. Feel free to shoot the shit with me any time you feel like it.

And with that...

I really like this song. It's a Canadian band. Enjoy it. Look how much fun those people are having. Go to their shows if they come to your city. Subscribe to their Youtube. Tell them @NoNamesLeftToUse sent you. That should be fun. They don't even know who the hell I am but that doesn't matter. Anyway...

Have a nice day.
