Hi,
I’m new to this community. I’m 58 years old and have been through highs and lows of life and business. I’ve had a few careers so far and I think I’ll have a few more by the time I turn 85. I actually did retire once…. But, …………… I went through my money much faster than planned. I’m married, 27 years, with three fantastic kids. By this time next year all three of them will be in college. I’m a fiscal conservative, and socially, middle of the road. I guess that makes me an almost libertarian. I am for term limits, serving government should be a “service” not a career. There are too many politicians with their hands in the till, and I think many, many folks have had it with fake smiles and handshakes…………….. those damn clowns make me mad!!! I’m a registered republican, but I’m happy to see mccain and the rest go into retirement, same goes for shumer, the nutjob Pelosi, sanders, Clinton, and that bunch.
I’m a kid at heart, I have two old mustangs, 1967 hardtop and a 1968 fastback, ………….. yeah, like the bullitt car of Steve Mcqueen,………….that one(
) …………..but, both need work, AND I had launched a fairly successful electric football line of figures and bases, called BuzzBall. My website is still up, check it out if you like, 4buzzball.com, ………..although I’m out of stock on most items. I also have a BuzzBall page on Facebook which has many pix and videos . The guys in the hobby say my BuzzBall figures are plastic gold. I used YouTube as a support and customer service tool years ago to help get the most out of my products, here is a video to learn how to fix your bases to enjoy the game That video was made about 15 years ago... oh yea, that little one in the background? My youngest baby who starts college in the Fall.
I kind of lost my passion for that hobby, though I brought that hobby into the new millennium. I’m even an inaugural inductee in the Miniature Football Hall of Fame……………. Don’t laugh, .................. for some guys it’s their high point in life, but not for me.
I’m most proud of my family, my wife, who is a fantastic woman, puts up with me and so do my kids, but did I mention I have three great kids? Being a Dad was/is the most important thing to me, I’ve tried to be at every event, I coached t-ball and football, I watched swim meets, and my two daughters were also synchronized swimmers. My oldest went on to be a synchronized swimmer in college and won an individual national championship in her division. She has since graduated, and is a CPA, but is on her way back to law school. Can you say Brainiac??? Must get that from my wife. I’m a scatter brain.
I found steemit via youtube doing blockchain and cryptocurrency research. I think I’ve found my new passion in block chain. I haven’t been passionate about anything in a very long time, maybe it’s depression? Oh, I don’t know, but the blockchain “make me moist”. It’s sooooo exciting to think that soon many things will be decentralized, …………..especially finances. To think in the very near future I won’t have to go to a certain bank to make an international transfer of funds to pay someone in another country!!! Just think of the wealth that will be created too. Imagine a poor farmer in a place like Venezuela will actually have a chance to make and keep his own money and not be under the thumb of some communist dictator……………………. Even though Venezuela is now leaning toward mandatory crypto currency use.
I’m hoping add value to your day if you choose to follow me. I seem to do things in five year spans, which translates into a lot of life experience. From buying real estate, no money/little money down, teaching Math, CADD manager, Surgical Instrument company owner, service manager of repair shop or USPS believe me I’ve seen and dealt with all sorts of situations.
I know, ……………. lots of variation there, right? One thing has been constant, ………… my marriage…………… I don’t claim to be a know it all, however, I may be able to shed light on a situation you may have experienced. So, ………..if you have gotten this far, thank you for reading my story. I plan on writing about my experiences in life and what I have learned. If you have a situation you’re not sure how to approach, I’d be happy to be an unbiased point of view.
Regards,
George
