Hi Steemians,
For a long two weeks, I thought I might not be accepted, I thought they had forgotten me, I thought they might have deleted my account, a multitude of worries and repressed anxiety surfaced! I wanted to be a part of something new, and not fester in my hermit cave as is usually my want. When I finally received my confirmation email I actually let out a whoop! Well…more of a feeble yelp…but I made a noise! It was a happy noise…
So here is a picture of me! Handsome right? 😊
I’m just kidding…I don’t need to worry about my physical appearance anymore. I managed to confuse and confound, not quite deceive, but definitely baffle, a beautiful young girl into marrying me. Therefore, unfortunately, I won’t be out there getting my photo taken with hundreds of beautiful young women like some people I know in this very community (I can’t possibly name names).
So I only know one person on steem and that is my good friend 
The main the reason I joined steem was to create, I try and do a bit of programming from time to time and I think that is how I can and will add value to steem initially (I might also on occasion ramble a little on here from time to time)! I want to contribute to open source projects on Utopian and then also see what I can create using the blockchain. I plan on going through the API in detail and then seeing how easy it is to start implementing a few ideas! If any of you have suggestions or ideas I would love to hear them! I would love to get involved in things that the community feels we need to advance the Steem way of life further!
That’s not to say it’s the only way I’ll contribute to the community, it’s the start of a journey and I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing how it grows organically as I learn more about Steem and more about each of you in this burgeoning community.
I look forward to sharing my many creations with you all here very soon, and maybe a little more about myself too from time to time!
Much love to you all around the world!
