Ah, why hello there all you lovely people! I must admit that upon hearing of steemit from my good friend @roadsuntraveled my interest was instantly aroused, by those sweet, sweet profitable possibility's that is! I currently work in a kitchen and it's not the most enjoyable of occupations for me at the moment, thus, the seizing of this possibility. I'm completely new to the whole Crypto scene, having only heard about it from @roadsuntraveled and still haven't managed to grasp it much at all. I'm also not the most technologically savvy of people. Having explained how to embed images he's in the process of explaining to me how to do italics and bold. Now I'm sure its super simple, but so am I when it comes to this sort of thing ;) I present to you, Themadrunnah!  I've always been a bit of a strange one, a bit of a loner as well. I often find dealing with people, any people, absolutely exhausting and I had few, if any friends until high-school. Having grown up at home with my father's Science Fiction bookcase in my room, as well as both of my parents being avid readers I naturally became one as well. When most kids were playing video games and (maybe) reading Goosebumps, I was devouring Vietnam war fiction, and "The Uplift Saga". Spending my childhood inside hundreds and thousands of worlds, both brutal and dark, and fantastical, has warped my developing mind into a slightly different direction than most I've met.  There's always been a darkness inside of me, one I've buried, smothered by immersing myself into fantastical perspectives relentlessly. Numbing my mind by getting high any time it began to grow, putting on the mask until it felt like I was nothing more than an empty husk at times. Yet from this came compassion, my desire to help others who were in pain such as I, and understanding. I've often found on a dark day, dark brooding music compliments it, turns that darkness into something exquisite, and if you can learn to accept and embrace that darkness great things can come...(or at least not terrible things) The written word I've found, can have the same effect and seeing as I have absolutely zero musical talent, I shall be sharing my words(among other things) with you, my fellow steemians.  Now, other than being a huge book-nerd and ye old darkness, I'm also a big pyro! I Just Love Fire, it's so achingly beautiful! I can lose myself in the dancing flames for hours.  Close behind my love of fire, is my love of pushing my physical limits, yet at the same time being not only startlingly lazy but exceedingly apathetic. This results in less than ideal ideas that turn into less than ideal accomplishments! For example, I would run to and from work because it's faster than bussing (4-6km), and with that as my physical foundation, as well as the occasional hike(expect to see some photos of mountains) I decided to do an Iron-man distance triathlon while uh..not really knowing how to swim other than a doggy paddle. Somehow I managed to push through everything, the fear, the pain, and the exhaustion to finish within the time limit, yet it had left me with a host of minor injury's that I was too lazy to properly recuperate. I struggle a lot with motivation, and its easier to just go to sleep or read than to do all those physio exercises, definitely something that needs improving!  I hope to become a part of this lovely community for I've only been lurking for a couple days yet have seen an incredible dedication to putting out quality and value for others to gain from! I may have been lured by greed, but I'll be staying for the people and community. So in conclusion, you can expect to see poetry, photos of nature, the odd book recommendation, and the occasional review from me! Oh and food! Thank you for taking time to read a bit about me. With gratitude, Joey
