Why Am I Still Here & How Did I Get Here? SnookMadeMeDoIt Challenge!
Why Am I Still Here & How Did I Get Here?
Both very good questions! LOL :D Betchya thought I forgot didn't ya @snook!
I guess the answer to the first really is #snookmademedoit, because she has ways of making you do things, and you normally just go ahead and do them. I felt like leaving a few times, but she Highly Suggests staying, and that it would be an awesome idea, and beneficial to my mental well being ahahahaha.
Probably using some Jedi mind tricks when I protest too, I would guess! Sooooo...
I was browsing youtube looking for some tunes to play and some crypto videos to see about investing in around August of 2017. And the usual trolls came into the search results, and I watched a video about steem/steemit. Don't ask me to remember who made the video, because I don't LOL.
I made my way over to steemit and made an account, and waited.. and waited... and waited, and then finally after 2.5 weeks I finally got the email. Talk about timely LMAO.
I made an introduction post and it was all downhill after that. I thought to myself, wow this actually has some potential to do some good in the world, I am down. So I kept on posting about different topics, and even went so far as to start a charity. And again, with the downhill motion... the deeper I went into the steemitverse, the more I began smdh.
Microcosm/Macrocosm.
After months of posting, I worked my way over to the music community, and finally began to feel like I finally found a spot to fit it around here. During that time, I did an interview post for joining #thealliance.
After being accepted, I made some new friends. One of which was @snook. She didn't know me at all, and yet asked me if "she could play with one of my songs" that I had recently written. I thought to myself... what does that even mean? I figured WTH...
Let us see where the road takes us! LOL :D
Time jump 2+ years later and we're still here. And I am still friends with @snook. She is like the big sister that reminds me with a kick in the ass here and there, to wake up! And I remind her with some slight annoyances, that I am indeed awake!
She occasionally twists a few arms here and there to get things done. And how do I know this? Well... I am on the Steem Foundation.
And how did I get there? (Insert Jeopardy Theme Song Here)... I'll wait! ;-)
There are lots of other reasons that I am still here too. Everyone in #thealliance is another reason. Lots of great peeps in there that keep me entertained, and it feels like home to me. It's all @enginewitty's fault too I suppose, along with @saffisara, @c0ff33a, @jackmiller, @guiltyparties, @katrina-ariel and the Fam.
And let us not forget @tuckfheman, @bethalea, @chops316 and the poker crew! Another daily activity that keeps me busy, and I enjoy kickin a little ass here and there over at BROsino Poker. If you play poker, come on over and join us, we don't bite... much. There is an Alliance tournament every week, sponsored by #thealliance witnesses.
And to keep it rollin... can't forget my Vets...
@rakkasan84, @veteranforcrypto, @jasonbu, @derangedvisions and everyone! This was the very first community that I joined btw. Speaking of communities... we do have a Vets Community if you are interested in joining... hint hint... Vets! Veterans. Have a look and join in, it won't kill ya.
Last but definitely not least, can't forget my music peeps... @d-vine and @jeffleinwand and co! You can catch everyone at the SOTA show every Friday over on the PAL Discord.. consider it an open invitation. ;-)
And there a lot more reasons to stay, and it is people related... and if I follow you, you're one of the reasons. There are wayyy too many people to mention, so apologies if I didn't get ya in the above. I do want to get this post done... which I have been working on for the past 2 hours... and I have been distracted with Discord, and Poker... just sayin! :D
So there you have have it, a very condensed version of the events and people that keep me around. @snook really is to blame here, well for the most part anyways. Hear that @bethalea, you're off the hook for blame, just for today though! That means 24 hours and no more, then it's back to reality... #blamebeth. :D
With that...
Peace Out... Bitches!

Indeed! The people are the driving force behind most of the many that stay. :-)
Times are really busy these past months but I always smile big when I check on your log and see that you are * in fact* still here.
