Hello everyone,
introductions usually start with stating your name, where are you from and what do you do in life, with the occasional brilliant-looking adjective in between.
Name ok, name is easy. For all we care my name could be devcore. Every reference to linux filesystem /dev/core is purely casual.
Where am I from, yeah, this is also easy, I'm from Italy! I don't know how it works, should I make another post to introduce myself in Italian?
What do I do in life, on the other hand, is one of the toughest questions I receive from people. I got in the habit of making up stuff based on the context trying to look cool, just to make it easier. But here I want to be honest with you all: I am an hobbyist. A pro hobbyist. An advanced leisure-time tinkerer. A highly functional activity-hopping addicted which sometimes gets some money out of it but most of the time who cares. A wanderer that wanders so much that sometimes wanders out of wandering and stops wandering, but just for a while.
As much as I seem very good at it, I'm really just an amateur in looking handsome
- I am a certified permaculture designer, have done some projects, few designs for other people, all nice and fine. then time came when I was about to open my own website as a designer to you know, look qualified. I got stuck on it, and few months ago I realized I really don't want to do it as a job. I still plant food forests in friends gardens and public places, and brag on how environmentalist-savy I am, just for fun.
- I've been a juggler for years, working a bit with it, making competitions, when it was time to join a circus school in a serious life path... I didn't. Still setting stuff on fire, just for fun.
- I've been a crypto enthusiast since 2012. Most people ask me "woah, so you must be millionaire!". No, 'cause I sold everything for a little gain everytime, without holding for years. Not that I regret it, actually I think that people that focus on money gains are missing something of cryptos. And that may have been done on purpose by Nakamoto, but that's a matter for another article maybe. I still shill my bags of coins to people and ask vendors if they accept Stellar, even though they don't and probably never will. Just for fun.
- I have a university degree in medical herbs. Done some work with it, enjoyed it a lot. Then yeah, got fed up. Still managing drugs, just for fun.
- I have been an IT guy in an office for an year. Always loved computers but it was getting too official. Ran away to travel in India, Thailand, Australia for a couple of years. Still hack my neighbour's wifi, just for fun.
This lack of definition is something I struggled with for a while in my life, forcing myself to fit in a role. Never worked.
So I tossed all this "professional-looking", this "define yourself", and all jobs in a compost bin.
Do you ever wake up feeling like a pirate?
Now, if you travel a lot, can't define yourself and are not on social media like facebook and twitter or any of that stuff, you may sometimes find yourself wanting to share your thoughts, scripts, photos and ideas, but don't know where.
As I understand, many people on steemit live in a similar way, and I may find a nice internet community of like-minded people here, so give me a big hug and show me where the coffee machine is please.
Don't expect me to be a serial poster, but I'll do my best to write nice stuff, coming from the heart.
That's all for now, have a great day.

Welcome to this amazing platform, the last photo looks adorable and funny. =)
Thank you, glad it doesn't just look like a weird mess =)
Have a nice day
Nice introduction - warm welcome!
thanks mathito, highly appreciated =)
Love your intro and your free spirit! I too can't really say that there is a definition of what i do since there are so many things that I do. I haven't been able to travel as of yet, but look forward to doing so in the future and Italy is definitely on the top of my places to visit list. Thanks for sharing and welcome to Steemit.
Thank you lunarnoire, it's nice to have a warm welcome. Swing by Italy, we have good pizza!
Yes I plan to one day. It would be nice to actually taste the pizza from Italy instead of drooling over photos.
Hi how are you? Really nice intro, i love it ! I’m a new steemit user as well and would like to connect with other cool steemians, artists and musicians. I’m posting music tutorials and other things related to music (and bitcoins:p). I’m the founder of the free music school communicasound. I'm really pleased to meet you. So i give you my vote, follow you and i will be happy to read your next posts in the futur. If you want, you can do the same and follow me. It’s important to have a family in Steemit :) Greetings from Paris. Peace.
Hi, I'm not really an artist or a musician... only sometimes and just questionably above the decency level anyway!
Thank you for kind words, I'll look into your works =)
I guess everyone is a musician.. some are just practising their level more than others ;) Anyway, i look forward to reading your next posts and i'm glad to connect (even if you're not a musician :)
