Hello everyone, it's me '@Sivehead' (aka Jason). Please excuse my excitement, I've been waiting for what seems like an eternity to join this fascinating community.
Introducing Sivehead
First things first, here's my this is me pic...
I know... Your thinking ha! What's with the hair dude? - Don't be scared, I just figured if you see me at my worst, things can only get better! :)
So what can I tell you about little old #me?
Well, my name is Jason. I've been studying at the university of life for 40 something years, and I live in the UK. I'm a son, brother and a husband. I'm a father of five and a grandad of two (so far). Yes. I guess you could say I've been busy!
I try my very best to be kind, considerate, genuine and fair - and I try to look at life in a light hearted way.
Since a young age I've been quite a practical person... Being able to turn my hands to most tasks. I've had a range of jobs over the years, from packing smokey bacon to building partition walls.
What are your likes and dislikes?
Umm... I like photoghraphy - I'm useless at it unlike 
Man, I could stare at that for hours... Imagining I was there, sat on the bank with my wife and a cool beer, taking in the view.
I like a decent Tv series like The Walking Dead, Originals or Blacklist. I can't honestly say I read a lot of books, but I do like Dr. Seuss... He's great. Mostly I read bucket loads of online content. Anything you ever wanted to know is out there somewhere... If it's not, there's a gap in the market - so get writing lol..
I've dabbled with a few programming languages and knocked up a couple of web sites. That was an interesting learning curve. I've even had a go at a little word game app for android.
My main interest would have to be passive income. The above made a start on that, but it's definitely something I'd like to expand on. I mean, I'm not getting any younger and physical labour doesn't get any easier. Reading, typing, linking to other information.... Yes, I can handle that for sure.
I Don't like Facebook.... Sorry - it just does my head in. I don't even have a Facebook account But, to me, there seems to be a lot of bitchyness on there. People just looking to piss somebody off, cause an arguement or rain on someone elses parade. I'm not saying everyone is like that, but the stories I hear from others suggests a lot of it does go on.
Something else I don't like... Prawns! Can't stand the damn things. I do buy prawns, but they are for this guy...
Meet my pet - Ralphy 'Chops' MacGee
He just loves those raw peeled prawns they sell at Tesco! :)
How did I get here?
It must of been about two... No, three weeks ago. I had the most vivid dream...
Lol, no... Like many others here I fell in to the proverbial rabbit hole of crypto - or crypto hole - or 'cryptole' for the want of a better name. I'll tell the story of that journey another day. I wouldn't want this post to waffle on for too long.
The short version of how I landed on Steemit (woohoo!) is this...
In a quest to expand my passive income, I came across the possiblity of Staking with POS coins. I jumped on Bittrex and bought some Bitbean (now known as Beancash). I downloaded the wallet and went in search of more info. That's when I found Steemit (woohoo!... Sorry). A few posts on here were most helpful 
Unfortunately, as my luck would have it, I don't have anywhere near enough Beancash to 'Sprout' any new Beans any time soon.
Donations welcome! (wink, wink): 2XPc2FUE9CWpf2Zb7m6Ge6LEzj2K2TiTEk
After finding Steemit and learning more about this wonderful community, I instantly thought - I need to be a part of this... I signed up, then raced back to Bittrex and bought as many Steem as I could afford.
Why are you here?
That's easy - To do unto others as I would have them do unto me!
To put it in a less biblical fashion and a tad more bluntly, I need help to improve - myself, my abilities and my online presence. I think I can learn that here. Of course I don't expect to get help for nothing... If I was after freebies, I wouldn't of bothered to sign up.
In return, with my varied 40 odd years in the university of life, I'm sure I've picked up a thing or two that I can pass on to help and advise others. After all... To go to another expression from the bible - whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap'.
Wow - two biblical expressions and I don't even consider myself a religious man.
Well that's all for now folks. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read my #Introduceyourself post. There's loads more I could tell you but I think a little bit of mystery can sometimes be a good thing.
Any critique welcome :)
