# Greetings fellow Steemit users!
### A quick disclaimer I have horrible spelling,  grammer, sentence structure, and general English skills.  So please excuse all that for here on out.

## Who Am I?

I'm Charlie (I will probably keep with the pseudonym Rusty Shackl4rd). I would be the scrawnyish one in the Wobbuffet shirt. Though my hair and beard are much longer now. The other two are one half of [The Interupters](http://www.wearetheinterrupters.com/). They rock check them out.

I'm 29 now, and will hit that dirty 30 in April. I am a recovering alcoholic (clean since Feb 15, 2016). The San Francisco Bay Area specifically Livermore is where I call home. I build  custom power distribution boxes and solar management equipment for a living.

And playing with my two cars. The Silver 99 Accord "Denise" and the 82 Corolla "Evet"

Are what soak up most of my down time

## Why I'm here
I made a Steemit account mostly because I have a strong distaste for most social media platforms and their censorship of free speech. I do have an Instagram: [@rustyshackl4d](https://www.instagram.com/rustyshackl4d/) where you can find what I've been up to for the past few years. As mentioned before, I have an alcohol abuse problem. Coming out the booze fueled haze I was in  for about 6.5 years was an awakening experience. With a clear mind I was and am clear to pursue liberty, life, a greater understanding of myself and the world around me. So here I am to explore and share. I will also have my youtube account up and running soon to share videos.

## What to expect from me
Primarily I will be sharing the building of my cars including:
  * Performance
  * Bodywork and aesthetics 
  * Hacking. Kind of like bio hacking your body, I show you tricks for your car.

 Conspiracies I find interesting:
  * Chemtrails
  * Vaccines
  * Globalism
  * Illuminati

From time to time I'll posting about other fringe topics:
  * Faith and religion
  * Transhumanism
  * Other "less conspiracy" related geopolitical news

That's about it for my intro. My next couple of posts will probably a intro and catch up of Evet to her current condition from the time I bought her in 2009. Got to dig up some of the old pictures from facebook and old cellular devices.

This was also my first attempt at using the "Markdown" posting system and really my first "blog" entry ever. I'm open to and encourage criticism on my writing, that's how we learn and grow.
Hope you guys enjoyed and God Bless,
Rusty Shackl4rd
