Vegas Gambler: My First Day On Steemit

vegasgambler (48) in introduceyourself • 7 years ago

Today is my first day on Steemit. After not blogging on a paid to write site for 3 years. Looks like I cracked under the pressure and am going to give it a try again.

My wife @bloghound has been here for a couple months and seems to really like it.

So, a little bit about me. My name is William, I am American and have been living in the Philippines with my wife for 6 years, with our 5-year old daughter Arianni. Unfortunately due to immigration laws, I will be returning to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2 weeks without my wife and daughter. Sad time for our family.

As a blogger, here is what you can expect from me - Im like a manic blogger lol. I write about anything and everything, fun facts, politics (not my favorite), world news, family, philosophy, psychology, photography, religion and sometimes some controversial topics such has transgender rights, womens rights, racism etc.

I will ask for your patience though regarding how to use Steemit. Its been a long time and Im not the most computer techy person in the world.I understand that you can follow, comment, share posts (resteem?). How to do all of that will be a bit of a learning curve though. I'm still learning howto simply make a post with a picture added.

NOTE - I do not like confrontation but am willing to talk about any topic, even those with viewpoints I dont agree with. Opposing discussions can be had without hateful rhetoric. I try to write as objectively as I can, so please respect that side of me as I will show you respect in return.If you feel rubbed the wrong way by any of my views or opinions, the best thing may be to simply move to another post.

Thank you all and I look forward to getting to know you through your writing.

@vegasgambler, welcome to Steemit. You have joined a great community.

My advice:

Keep meeting people, especially in the comments section.
Strive to write great content.

Having spent time overseas (with my family) I can understand your frustration with immigration laws. I hope you and your family can reunite soon.
