Where I Live
Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA! I know, there's crazy traffic, it's polluted, fake people & celebrities, it's so expensive, houses are expensive, and earthquakes. BUT I navigate around all that. I tend to avoid the negatives and focus on the positives. It's an AMAZING place to live! I mean, check this out:
You can run or hike the many beautiful trails nearby, and even see the Hollywood sign this close (and even closer if you want to), or....
Go to the beach
Some are good, some are bad, but it just depends where and when.
Plus, there's SO many good places to EAT. From the inexpensive taco trucks, a lot of local favorites, some high end places with the best chefs and the best views.... to THIS:
IN N OUT! It's my favorite! I don't care what people say, it's the best burger. More on that later, I'll probably write about it.
Then comes some extra curricular activities. I love endurance sports! Marathons, Trail Running, Ultramarathons, Triathlons, Ironman Triathlons!
I'm on a quest to finish 50 marathons in 50 states:
and my newest love is triathlon, especially Ironman distance ones. 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 run. That'll be another post later too
Oh, and I LOVE to travel, meet new friends, experience new things. Here's a beer garden in Germany:
Then to circle back to Los Angeles, I'm a huge Los Angeles Rams fan! Ok, they might not be the greatest, but they were the team in L.A. when I was growing up, then they left, then they returned! Honestly, I'm more of a Fantasy Football fan, so I can be an overall fan of NFL better.
Oh! and more more thing...
Steemit. Why Steemit? It seems like a great platform to share and learn. Before I also invest in STEEM, I want to see the real world uses for it, and using this is one way. I barely got into this cryptocurrency space in June, and I only started with the Coinbase stuff at first, then when I did more research and discovered all the other cryptos that go along with it, I fell in love with it! I do regular investing with stocks and 401k and IRAs and all that, but I put a small % (maybe wanting to do more) and getting my feet wet just so I don't get the FOMO. I'm more of a HODL type guy, and I'm still learning a bunch. I hope that by following many of you, and me blogging my thoughts and experiences here, we'll all learn together! I'm excited to join in on Steemit and meet many of you! Have fun and enjoy!
