Well....I got asked to do this whole Steemit blog by a good friend of mine, So here goes nothing.
My name is Eric Rodriguez I'm 23 years old from Houston, Texas. A true Texan till the day I die lol.
As of right now I work on my families ranch in Huffman, Tx. Where I currently care for 10 head of cattle, 8 horses, doves, a duck, cats, and 20+ Rabbits. This is my life and I enjoy ever minute of it. I love it cause it's simple...."I'm a gah damn cowboy!!!!" I've been doing this kind of work all my life really off and on, but really took over the reigns back in 2013 ish when a close family friend (considered my grandpa) passed away. He left my family the ranch and I've never been so thankful.
When I'm not doing this kind of work I love to do many things, but nothing makes me more happy and feel good than when I'm singing. As of right now I make videos of me singing and post them on YouTube and stream live on Periscope. I'm hoping to one day make a small Country album of songs I wrote about me, my life, and someone I Love very much. I sing karaoke as much as I can and do some contests. The most recent adventure I went after in my singing career was trying out for "The Voice" where I almost made the cut to make it on TV. It was an amazing experience and I hope to give it another shot very soon, but until then I will be streaming and posting and who knows. The main genres of music I sing are Country and oldies music and a bit of pop; my two strong suits.
Another hobby of mine is cooking. I have a passion for cooking and BBQ-ing. I am currently on a cooking team here in my area called TPC (Texas Platinum Cookers). The last competition we did we placed in all 3 major categories and overall grand champion (1st- Ribs, 1st- Brisket, and 3rd- Chicken). So yeah we are pretty legit and pretty serious about what we do. I also carry that competitive cooking attitude to when I cook at home for my family, which makes everything I do have to turn out perfect.
I recently just got involved and started learning about Bitcoin and all its greatness do to a friend. I still have so much to learn about it but it's an awesome thing to be apart of. Bitcoin has one of the best communities.
Thank you guys for taking the time to read this, really appreciate it, and hope to post more stuff with BBQ recipes, Singing videos and much more.
