Hello Steemit! I am a very new member here, having joined in December, and I have agonized over how to introduce myself to the Steemit Community. It's so hard, isn't it, talking to new people? What do you say? How do you say it? Is there really anyone out there who might give a rat fart in a high wind what I had to say, were I to say it? So many decisions, from what to wear in your photo to where the photo is taken, it's a wonder any of us can get through one of these without having a nervous breakdown. But, as so many have said before me, here we are and there's really no way to do it but to do it. So....here goes.
I am a 43 year old professional singer/songwriter/guitarist who enjoys reading, writing, and I am in the process of getting my Bachelors Degree in Software Engineering. I'd like to think I'm a decent musician but if you want to form your own opinion, my musician's page on Facebook can be found here https://www.facebook.com/EricMatthewsMusic/
I am happily married with 3 beautiful grown step-children and a young son who is the joy of our life. My wife ( who is soon to become a new Steemian herself) is an amazing artist and writer and I look forward to her sharing her talent and vision with you all.
I have done a few posts already and, if you can't tell, I'm pretty eclectic, ranging from cryptocurrencies to marijuana legalization, science fiction, conspiracy theories and more. In the coming days, weeks and months, I will be posting further articles dealing with my attempts to help a family member delve into the burgeoning crypto markets, more observations regarding the Justice Department's new War on Marijuana, short speculative fiction and a whole lot more.
Just to let all of you know, I am still learning the in's and out's of the markdown styling for this format. Any tips, tricks, links etc, that can help, please don't hesitate to post them. I look forward to your comments, suggestions and feedback so that I can become a better author, and generally be an asset to the Steemit Community.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you, the community, soon.
