Hello, My name is Will.
I have been social media free for a few years now. No Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or anything like that. I got tired of how un-productive it made me and wanted a change. I gave up social media first and then went without a phone for over a year and a half. In that time, I managed to fill up multipule sketchbooks with art and really took the time to appreciate nature. I took to a lot of old hobbies I had been putting off and found a few new ones to occupy my time aswell.
The beginning of this year is when I decided to purchase a new phone so I could start investing whatever little bit of money I had, after paying bills every month, into the stock market. Once I started looking into cryptocurrency and really dove into what blockchain technology is, I felt like a fool not involving myself in this revolutionary technology sooner. So when I found out about Hive and Ecency, I got really excited. This seems like a great outlit for me to rejoin social media and become a part of various communitys. I am grateful to have a place to share my art and opinions.
My hobbies include:
- Programming ( Javascript / Python )
I've been programming for a year. I picked it up during the covid pandemic last year while we were all stuck inside. I love learning new things and solving problems.
- Arts and crafts ( Drawing / Miniature Painting / Foam crafts )
I like to use Pen and Ink. I have various fountain pens and nibs and pots of ink. I like to paint miniatures for warhammer and dnd using acrylic paint and small brushes.
- Sports ( Soccer / Basketball / Skateboarding / Disc Golf )
Favorite soccer player is Cristiano Ronaldo but my favorite team is Chelsea. I haven't followed much basketball in the last few years but I will always root for the Celtics. I like to play basketball more then I like to watch it. I like to bomb hills and street skate more then I like ramps and skate parks. I've been skating for over 20 years.
- Games ( Splinterlands / Rocket League )
Silver 3 in Splinterlands and Platinum 3 in Rocket League
- Music ( Synthesizer / FLstudios )
I cant really play the keyboard but I find it really fun making cool sounds with my synthesizer.
- Fitness ( Running / Stretching / Resistance Training )
I run about 10 miles a week and work out 2 days a week. I've been working really hard on improving my nutrition and eating healthy but that is a work in progress.
I want to make some friends here and produce great quality content for those who are looking to consume it! This is exciting, getting the chance to blog on a platform where I feel my voice can be heard. I want to share my art with the world and I feel motivated knowing I can finally show it and get feedback. I cant wait to start. This will be my first post!
