Hey Joey, pardon @Outsomniac , welcome to steemIt.
Where are you based on the East Coast? I lived 5 months in DC-Metro Area and kind of miss that place.
What did you graduate?
What are you active as entrepreneur?

I like to ask questions, because without them we have the same shallow discussion like hello, welcome and nothing more.
This has happened to me oft in the US, I was greating people and everybody was having the same line: Hi, how are you? Great. In some cases I answered directly, today not so great or when I've seen some that had a rough day (some obvious sadness) and they answered me like they are doing great, I directly replied, with hmm, you don't seem to have such a great day. This answers have been instant shallownes breakers.

See you around
