Hello, My Name Is :Michael Joseph: AKA Michael X (Not The Corporate Entity)

# Hi there, my name is Michael X.  

![steemit michaelx](http://i.imgur.com/7LWjLKI.jpg)

I am a husband, a father of two (17 boy and 6 girl - ya it's crazy), entrepreneur, visionary, and all around fun guy to hang out with!  Want some real talk - scroll to the bottom of my post...

## More about MichaelX
I have been a member of the BitShares community since early 2014.  Heck, I even have PTS laying around somewehere(I never got out :p).  On the bright side, the PTS probably got me far more than what i anticipated...

_This picture is a bit old - my hair is much longer now and I have quite a few more tattoos (I had 6 back then...)!  _

This was right after I cut off over 2.5 feet of hair to donate for locks of love.  I always try to donate items and money to charity as much as possible, and have been working on structuring a charity based blockchain business with my wife that has a degree in social work/family therapy.

One of my other hobbies is GARDENING!  I love my garden, and I spend a ton of time there making it perfect.  I eat 2 meals a day from my garden, as does my family.  I grew everything, I sourced seeds, I trucked in the soil, I know what is in my food and I love it.  I love teaching my daughter how to grow food and sustain herself, to assimilate the sunlight...

I have several businesses I am involved in, you can read more about me in this post about my [celebrity lookalikes](https://steemit.com/celebrity/@michaelx/my-celebrity-lookalikes-who-do-you-look-like), this post about [how to get rich and internet famous](https://steemit.com/journalists/@michaelx/how-to-become-rich-and-internet-famous), and this MONSTER post on [how to do public relations for any startup, business, steemit, your posts, etc](https://steemit.com/public/@michaelx/public-relations-training-for-steemers-and-steemit).

## I have lots of hobbies and interests!

I love music!  I have gone to over 2000+ concerts in my life, and I plan to quadruple that before I die!  I have lots of pictures, etc, but one of my favorites is me and [Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips](http://www.flaminglips.com/):

I like to travel for work and fun.  Since I have internet based businesses that are not location specific, I can travel and work.  I can have meetings with friends in exotic locations and write it off (we really DO WORK while there)!  It's fun, but I will tell you that I had to work my ass off for it.  Years of work and sweat to get there.  

**But it has paid off.**

Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank even stayed at our house in Saint Martin:

I love to have fun with friends, and usually end up traveling to 10-20 countries a year on average with them, or my family.  Never in my life growing up did I think I would be able to do these things.

**DISCLAIMER:**
**I have been there. My first marriage was a wreck, I ended up losing everything I owned, slept on couches in the year 2000, and went through hell for years afterward.  I have lost it all.  And gained it all.  And lost it again.  And back and forth.   Do not worry about such things, they do not make a person.**

_**I have been there.  I know the hunger.  I know the pain.  I know the reward.  It is all the same.**_

**JUST LIVE AND BE.**

**Pleased to meet you.**
