Hey guys & gals,

So I decided to tell you more about me. More about the man behind the voice on Discord. More behind the man who's posting pictures of his African adventures. Just more about the man.

This isn't an introduceyourself post. Hence me not tagging it as such. let's be honest, introduceyourself posts get a lot of traffic ( At least I believe so ). ;P

  • Name: Johan ( Internet handles vary between iamnotageek / Josh2.0 / FaithInHim )

  • Country of origin: South Africa ( Never been anywhere else. Sad right? )

  • What I do for a living: Owner of a small IT Consultation Company. I also have a second business where I do digital advertising for SME's ( Small Medium Enterprises )

  • Hobbies: Basically anything & everything that involves IT & technology. Spend most of my time with the girlfriend or in front of the computer.

  • Age: Older than 21 yet younger than 50

  • Family: Two sister, one brother. I’m the third eldest. Parents divorced. Dad no longer in the picture ( His choice )

  • Why are you on Steemit? Well, my good friend @giftedgaia told me about this platform about a year ago & I listened to him but didn’t act on it. So recently I decided to sign up, and have met so many great people in the TCP Streams :)
    Basically an outlet to try and show people how the “other half” lives. Haha. To try and help anyone where I can, to give advice, & yes, to even motivate people, if I ever have that opportunity.

  • Married? Not yet. Have a wonderful girlfriend. Going for 14 months now <3

  • Kids: None that I know of ( runs ) lol

Wait, I’ll be right back ok. It’s 02:33 and I need coffee…

Ok I’m back. Yes, that is coffee in a jar that is acting as my coffee mug. Pretty cool huh? What, you don’t think so? Oh c’mon, it’s unique ;P

Now where was I… Oh right, Steemit

So yea, the level of conversation in the Discord channel is something that I enjoy. It ranges from “The earth is flat” (giggle, that was a fun night ) to “Get off your butt and do something with your life that helps people & yourself. Destroy evil”. Aint that right Mr. @fyrstikken :)

I made this post because let’s be honest, you upvote people who create good content, but isn’t it nice to also know more about the person on a personal level? For me I like to get to know people, so I can learn from them.
I believe in life you should hang out / socialise with people who can enrich your life. People you can learn from. Be it life, finances, social skills, people skills etc

I love reading. I’m a firm believer in expanding your knowledge, be it in whatever interests you. Because one day, you’re going to be part of a conversation, and you’ll be able to say, “Yea I read about that.” & you’ll be able to participate in that conversation without sounding as an ignorant idiot.

My aim here is to blog / write about South Africa. Our cultures, food, scenery etc
Many of you have never been to my country ( Same goes for me ), so if I can bring South Africa to you through the TCP streams then why the heck not right? :)

Anyways, I don’t want to write a wall of text ( oops, too late! ).

Would I like you to follow me? Of course! If my posts interest you then yes that would be great. Would I follow you? If your posts interest me then yes :) ( Honesty remember ) ;P

I’m a huge believer in being honest. Rather be honest than come here & put on a fake persona just to get views or upvotes.

That’s not how we roll in the Shire. Well, at least for me :)

Constructive criticism is always welcome. Feel free to “teach” me.

I absolutely LOVE America. If I could ever move there & become a citizen I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's such a wonderful country I believe. Ever since I was little I've been fascinated with it.

If you want to know more about me, leave a comment & I’ll be happy to answer.

C’mon, you knew a photo would be attached. C’mon, we both knew that ;P

As always, thanks for reading & have a wonderful day !

Sort:  

yeah is nice to know some people on a personal level. But there are 100,000 people on this place, and only one of me.

You Sir are a joy to interact with. Truly a unique character. Someone I can definitely learn from. And THAT, according to me, is worth more than all the gold & silver.

Thank you for being YOU.

I can only know what the math tells me. The math tells me Nasa is lying! Can't say I know much else for sure about where we are.

I'm glad to have met you on steemspeak.
You're a really cool and genuine guy :)
Resteemed

Thank..... You.... !!!!

Would love to get to know you better!

Thanks for letting us get to know you! It's crazy you've never been outside of South Africa! I live in the United States myself and hope you get to visit us someday! Btw, are you military? I ask because you said the time was 02:33 instead of 2:33am lol just curious. Thanks for making Steemit a great place and I look forward to reading more future articles :)

Thank you for the kind words.

Not military at all, however, am slightly fascinated with the US military. I would never read out a password of F- For Freddy R- For Red etc

I would say Foxtrot Romeo etc... lol

Haha good to know! You would be surprised how many people don't know the alphabet terms.

Keepitup!!

Will do :-)
