60 SBD Up For Grabs! Describe You/Your Blog In 150 Characters.

in contests •  8 years ago  (edited)

IMG_4460.PNG

Today, I had the rare experience of being swept off my feet by a bio on Steemit. It did two things; made me laugh and told me exactly what the blog was about.

In my short time with @onequality, I have found that the temptation to write generic articles is very strong for upcoming Steemians, and sometimes too strong to overcome.

This got me thinking. If we could succinctly describe, in not more than 150 characters, who we are and what people can expect from our posts, then I think majority of us will be a lot more focused.

It's said that when you have no clue where you're going, every point you get to will look like your destination. Now what if the opposite was the case? What if we could define our purpose and goal? Won't it save us a lot of time wasted meandering?

Because it is called "goal" doesn't mean it has to be just one thing. It just means you're deciding to focus the bulk of your energy on these things.

@trafalgar is a satirical columnist and political commentator. And with the next sentence, you immediately get a taste of what to expect.

In light of this, I'll like the community to take on this task of writing a bio that describes you/your blog in not more than 150 characters.

The reward pool of 50 SBD will be shared amongst all eligible entries.

There'll be a special prize of 5 SBD each for two of my favorites.

You'll need to resteem this post for your entry to be eligible.

I am a lost person In this world, always lost or I would say isolated from most. The opinion people have around me where I live, I can't understand how can they see their life like that. They are not happy to live like that but they have to, because they have seen everyone to live and die like that. They are now forcing me to live as per their rules.
I am broke, i am lost, i am alone, and Now I have found steemit, Here I can say what I want and learn from a lot of people the other way of living, "The Unusual Way". And that's why I am here and that's who I am and that Is what I will write about here.

I will write about Life.

Great! Good to have you here.

Life is an interesting topic to write about!

Thanks.

Im learning lost is a good thing in the end, if you lost, it means you have everything and anything to find... magical :)

I feel a little magical after reading your comment.

I'm a 20 years old from Venezuela. I make poems, stories, write articles about almost everything and i'm starting a health and fitness series articles.

A storyteller like me! Nice!

Games, movies, tech, and Bigfoot – just some of the topics I stick my nose in when writing. Resteem, like and comment to keep me steeming along.

Nice. What's your favorite game and movie?

Favorite game is a hard one but I find myself replaying classics from Nintendo (Mario, Donkey Kong Country, etc). Spider-Man 2 on Android is a comfort game I play - just swinging around the city is great.

Movies, I have to go with Transylvania 6-5000, Fifth Element, Terminator 1 and 2 and the original Transformers (animated) movie.

Can't narrow it down to just one as there are too many I enjoy.

Just recently started playing Paper Boy again for NES. Made it to Friday ! BTW Fifth Element is a great pick. Don't forget Princess Bride as a fav movie though ;)

Haha! I wish I was this into games 🙄 Or movies 😩

It's a curse and a blessing my friend..

Thank you and welcome.

I'd like to submit Gramps aka @dragon40 as one of the funnier profiles I've come across on steemit. Simple, funny, and straight to the point: "Grumpy Old Coot". It was just enough to inspire me to follow! lol

As for myself, perhaps I can say "Trying hard to break us all out of our Augmented Reality."

Trying hard to break us all out of our Augmented Reality

That's some giant task you've got on your shoulders! How's it going?

it's a long tough road, but hopefully I'm making some progress by "scaring" people into the realities of where we're all headed if we stay on the current path...! lol

Hi @fisteganos, my entry is below and the post has been resteemed. Cheers!

@Starsteem is a blog you can go to and find out my thoughts on Crypto's as a noob (where I am now) and watch me evolve into someone who has a clue. You will see pictures and read stories about my life, family and interests (of which Steemit is moving up the latter). I will share and be ready to engage in conversations on many topics (in addition to those already mentioned) ranging from investing, sports, health and working out (weight loss), parenting, photography, travel, movies, music, AND most importantly you will get inside my head and see my character (which I am told is quite funny). Allowing for real connections to take place and producing content and interactions that will hopefully be seen as ripe fruit ready to be consumed by those who come seeking knowledge or at a bare minimum entertainment within our Steemit community.

My bio is the same as it was from the jump, as it is still my goal and passion.

My goal with Scaredycatguide is to provide financial education to those who are risk averse

Not the sexiest thing, but it's what I do. You can exclude mine as an entry, prefer newer users that are working hard to build SP receive the bump. Steem on!

I like your entry tho. Goes straight to the point and says all I need to know!

Well done and thanks for stopping by.

Thanks, happy to stop by. Interested to see the entries and how it plays out.

Me

At one point in my life. I was ruining myself, just sitting and eating shit. Everyone hate me. Then I thought of my father " if he can run 6 km why can't I". That changed my life forever. I am addicted to health now. Thats what I do on steemit. I want every steemian to be healthy

I promote health
I write about health

Nice. Health is wealth they say. It's a great cause you're promoting.

Nice 👍

I am a photographer that likes birds and landscapes, especially mountain landscapes. Will travel for photo.

You like birds? I'm curious to know why 😊

One, they are hard to take good pictures of, and I like a challenge. Two, I believe them to be among some of the most majestic animals on the planet.

Nice 👍

So far 3 different kinds of contest on steemit ! Openmic, Lotto, and one where you make up a caption for a weird picture. I've lost more steemit contests that i've entered lol. or did you mean in my lifetime?

Lol. Nah... I meant Steemit. Nice CV 😃

Oh haha good good. Keep it relevant right ;)

And you sure do a very good job of that! Well done.

I have no niche. I just want to talk about whatever the hell is on my mind on a given day, but one thing I can promise is you'll learn something new every post ;)

I'm constantly learning and exploring too, and my biggest fear is waking up one day and having nothing interesting to do because I have done it all, unescapable boredom, basically.

My blog focuses on cryptos, programming, gaming, tech, and politics, lots of tutorials and guides =]

Excellent post! Upvoted and resteemed, you really made me go back to my page and look it over.

This is what I currently have and I would be very interested to see what you all think of it? Thank you for your input!

anything interesting I do from eating to places I visit or anything I see or read, just about anything.

A little over a week ago I found steemit . Never blogged before So have learned a little Markdown Language & Photo Editing while in the process of figuring out where my most valuable knowledge could be expressed here.
As well as creating posts on various topics I Love Sharing life experiences, Philosophies & helpful Advice
But I'm going to put my Greatest Effort, To all the above : Blogging about Panama
Only 1 other Person here is doing anything close: @hilarski
But while He is adapting to Panama, I felt right at home Day 1.
So Our Blogs in fact will be vastly different even when speaking on Similar Topics, I think being complimentary to each other, in there Different views & Style.
No 2 People see and experience the same thing, even when standing right beside each other.
Its been a long hard day for me, So I will close with saying:
Thanks for Your Consideration
Plus throw out a shameless plug for--->Panama Blog #1
Hope you enjoy,Hundreds more coming soon

Crap ! did I go over the word limit ? hope not

I have no use for the money because I'm too rich on trading off of my own advice, found in my blog -- but thanks for the offer ;)

Oh nice 😊

Do you mind sponsoring the contest?

Hahaha, I don't have THAT much money...well, you know, cuz it's locked up in trades and whatnot...

...but I can throw you a few SBD, why not? Seems like a good enough cause to me :)

LOL. Oh well, seems like I just got lucky! Following you already for some trading tips. Maybe I can turn my peanuts into giants!

Edit: oh you did already. Nice And thanks

Careful now, slow and steady wins the race.

We'll focus on turning those peanuts into almonds, then walnuts, then maybe a watermelon (not sure why it would cross over to this from the nut category, but let's try not to focus on that too much), then we can start to set our eyes on making them giants.

One must learn to crawl before they can walk and walk before they can run. I'm trying to learn how to fly as we speak :)

Haha! Why does this sound so sexual? 😂

I didn't realize I'd posted this comment with my @chaospoet account until I was done. Then I kind of just shrugged. I try to only speak in poetry/prose with that account so I only use it when the whim takes hold of me.

As to the sexual bit. I too noticed that right after I finished writing it an reread it. In that sense maybe it was good I wrote it as @chaospoet after all.

Sex sells, so while that was not my intention it is funny, and it may not be a bad thing. :)

You can tell a lot from a bio, I have found many good brains lately, simply by understanding the logics/psychology behind what is written in their bio and reading some of their writings, i have found my judgement on these being x type peoples, to be often correct... and this in turn has lead to many new friendships and brain sharings. Amazing!

But i do question the point you make about focusing... it might just be me, but i often find when i focus too hard I miss out things which i should have followed/learned.
I spend my days floating around aimless, in all formats, searching for info, expanding brain, it's amazing how many things link together in the end! But i feel you have to be led down rabbit holes like alice sometime, in order to come to learn/understand more about yourself/your goals/your dreams.

So maybe focus to certain extent is good (eg. cut out crap - effortlessnesses/uninterestings) but keep following randomness that matches your intellect and thinkings, and maybe we all find what we want in the end, and maybe many want the same things! So we can all meet at other end of knowledge pool and make special things happen :D

When I talk about focus, I mean in terms of what you have to offer. Ok so let's say i'm going around trying to learn all I can (like to suggested), what are the things I should look forward to learning from you?

Your answer to this is the answer i'm looking for. Being able to pin down (even if they are 10) things you have to offer and that people can be sure to learn/get from you.

Very cool idea @fisteganos!
