Hi, my name is Gerardo and I am an addict.

I have no idea how/when I stumbled on to this site; but I am now a fully pledge steemer. I started an account while I was non compos mentis . But it, [steemit] seemed as though it was fairly new because people were making less than $100 on the front page and I instantly connected for a moment with a like minded individual who I wanted to collaborate with. We shared an interest for film making. When I was 10 years old I was running around with my friends making movies with this bad boy

Out of the whole film-making process I loved editing the most and in high-school I learned the "adobe creative basics" I love creating all types of different media, yet there are so many new innovations it's hard to keep track, but this idea (steem) is amazing, "sort of like reddit, without trolls" I've been hearing a lot of people saying that they are addicted to steem...well... I want that to be my "drug of choice" because the one i am on now, is literally killing me...to be continued in a long story of my spiral towards hell.

Well I don't want to make my introduction so sad, so I am going to post the things that I am grateful for.
I live in Santa Barbara, CA
I have a low level stress job

I enjoy my morning walks on the beach, and used to partake in extreme sports, mountain biking, rock climbing.
I used to be very athletic, until I broke my ankle very badly, rock climbing during a drunken stupor. I was a natural at rock climbing though , specifically bouldering, which is the same thing except to add extra danger there are no ropes or harnesses involved. Mix booze and solo climbing=EXTREMELY DANGEROS...duh...But I am still greatful I can still walk and It is my dream to be able to do some of my favorite climbs like Yeti once again. I broke my right ankle so, Yeti Could still be possible.

In fact I'm going to try to get up to the mountains of Santa Barbara this weekend and show you guys my favorite spots in Santa Barbara with better quality pics and videos. I am currently not in the greatest shape of my life, but I feel that If I Dont STOP with my bad habits very soon I will never enjoy that great feeling of accomplishment.
