What do you mean Sober? I meant writing...
Wait you thought I stopped drinking?
Now THATS Funny!
Well hello there again. 30 days, Seriously 30 fuckin days I've done this non stop. Every day, admittedly some days I did a better job than others but all the while I have done my best to up my game in areas.
You know try something new with my format, language, photos etc. I even tried to cut down on the swearing and cuss words. But today Fuck that.
I have a new found respect for anyone who cranks out good content daily, every other day, shit even weekly or bi weekly. I have Much more insight in what goes on behind the scenes.
I have spent so many hours pouring through photos, and editing text and ideas that by the end of the process, I'm completely convinced what I produced is so shit it that my hard drive should be burnt and the ashes confined to the deepest pits of hell.
My hands removed and my eyes plucked out and offered in forgiveness to the gods of the written word from a bygone age.
Other times I have been so pleased with what's come out in one go, No editing needed.
I believed I deserve an Asimov Award or even a Nobel prize. Everything has gone perfect and left me time to play around with formatting etc.
And yet others I have sat at my keyboard smashing my head into the table wondering how the hell I'm going to get 10 words out let alone my self inflicted five hundred.
Before I attempted this run of daily posts I would take my time, sometimes even A week or two to think about things. So to get something even remotely finished in the space of a single day... Well for me that's a big deal.
So today its all about ME.
Yeah that's right I'm blowing my own trumpet, I even had a few ribs removed for easier access. Gotta be honest I shoulda had a shower first.
I Would say I'm sorry, But I'm used to getting side-tracked. If by some miracle you've read a lot of my shit you'll notice that's a big issue with me. I have the attention span of a headless goldfish.
Wait that's probably being unkind to headless goldfish.
I'm easily distracted, I jump from shiny thing to shiny thing. From the Bizarre to the mundane, and every thing in-between. I'm an Insult To ADHD. I have ADHDCD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Dumb Cunt Disorder).
But for 30 whole fuckin days I have shared that brain fart with you. Thanks for sticking around and popping by occasionally, Some of you every damn post. Guess I'm not the only sadomasochist on here.
Oh yeah where was I...
Todays post is as I said all about the Glorious, Nefarious, and sometimes Ridiculous creature... That is ME.
More importantly about what this bit of daily mental fuckery has taught me.
I have learned about :
New writers, artists and photographers here on Hive and discovered That its pretty damn fun to interact with people more.
The fact that photo editing is an Art form. Taking a good photo is fucking difficult and sometimes 60 Photos isn't enough.
Today I stuck With 3 and I even tried my hand at editing them.
Thanks for the Tip Mr. DandA
I learned that I seriously suck at Splinterlands, and I am possibly the worlds worst at reading instructions, White papers, and anything remotely important.
Ruins, anywhere, anytime, are worth visiting.
Hive like everywhere has problems, nothing new or different there doc. But generally it has fewer than any social media platform I've ever seen, and the community is full of amazing and interesting people. Even some as bat shit crazy as I am, if not more so.
I thought I wanted to hang around this place before.
Now I know I'm sticking around.
Last but definitely not least...
- Possibly most importantly, Needing new material to write about has made me find things for us to do as a family. Its made me leave the house and my computer more than I would have before. So as fucked up as it sounds.
It made me spend more time doin, less time thinkin about doin.
Now the Big Question... MONEY!
Wen Lambo, Wen Moon!?
So has this whole exercise made me rich? Am I Rollin straws and snortin the finest Colombian white off a A list Movie stars and strippers?
Am I Hive Rich and Now able to upvote by 300 dollars at 100% ?
Have I got my own private rocket ship and a garage full of Lambos? Fuck yeah baby just bought the Hot Wheels versions of each in DUPLICATE for the Lad.
So seriously no, Not made my millions yet.
I've Doubled My HP so by the end of things my nearly 2 cents will be 4 cents in voting power. I have a small reserve of liquid hive to buy illicit Drugs in emergencies and power up on the next PUD.
I have gained some followers and lost one along the way. So far things are looking pretty fuckin peachy.
It has in a word been, FUN.
So to everyone who stuck with me and provided support and insight, You all know who you are. So I wont name drop.
I say Thank you. The journey wouldn't have been the same without you.
OK, One name drop, Thanks @edprivat for keepin me company on whatsapp until 2am more times than I can count and listening to my often drunk ass talk about ideas. You helped more than you know!
So Now tomorrow Imma gather all the comments up and give away... That's right. A Valueless... erm.. Fucked up my phrasing sorry, Priceless Antique!
As per the usual spiel below.

My brother, you did very well, I am very happy I brought you here I knew it was the perfect place for you and @iaura also, I know it seems impossible to find something to post every day at first, but eventually, I think you got into a rhythm and proved it was doable, I think you also gained new friends, and developed your own style in the process.
Well done to you, and don't hesitate to share your posts at 2am, that's always the time for a HIVE pump anyway!
I can ensure you, that, THIS, will become an income by July.
It was pretty rough halfway through as you know 😂 but eventually managed to get a rhythm and started to relax with it. Made a good few friends in the process as you say too.
By July I wouldn't be surprised by what Hive can do. I think everyone could be surprised by the levels we might see .
Doesn’t shit go by fast?
Congrats for making it a whole 30 days! I know how it feels for sure to think something you are throwing together is just a shitpost. I’ve done one or two ..or more since I started posting daily last December. It’s nearly been a year for me. Crazy ass stuff! I definitely enjoy it though and now I’m at the spot where I’m scheduled for posts a while out so I can get through what we are doing and get to comments and other peoples posts so that I’m not trying to throw something shit together.
I think it’s definitely helped get us to do things as well! Instead of sitting inside and cleaning or something I don’t want to do, I try to get outside and go for a walk and see what we can find. It sometimes leads to the material for at least one post, sometimes two or three! Do that daily and you’ve got yourself a pretty nice rhythm going.
Did you feel the process was good for you mentally as well? For you to kind of write down the things in your head? I’ve found that has really helped me!
Yeah its amazing how much more organised I got towards the end. Occasionally I got caught short over editing one post instead of moving on but I ended up finding a rhythm that worked. Now when I see something worth a picture, its stop the car Time.
What do you mean were in a hurry? Just wait a minute. No its fine, You wont bleed to death. Its nothing a few stitches wont fix, stop complaining. The more you complain the longer its gonna take for me to get this picture.
And now I do make nots which I save on my phone for later use which has helped alot.
I was just printing out my list so you have a hand written card in the raffle...
