Hello Steemit! (Or anything more creative)

Hello all!

yo para steemit resize.jpg

First, I believe introductions are in order: My name is Pablo Azcurra Arndt, I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. That is south America. Big chunk of earth to the left in most western hemisphere world maps, south part. I learned of Steemit through the @KeiserReport. Big fan, cheers and love to Max and Stacy!

I hope to use Steemit to get into the habit of writing. I like writing but never get down to doing it. I am not expecting to write incredible big pieces, I just want to be able to write more often. With the way steemit works, I figured the potential for an incentive might be helpful for getting into the habit. I am also very excited about the idea of somebody reading something I wrote and commenting with a sincere expectation of having myself answer them; or commenting on a post and getting answered.

So I was following @teamsteem example, trying at least, and here are a few pointers on myself

General

  • 28 years old
  • Argentinian
  • Fluent in spanish and english, can speak some words in japanese and german. And can say "I don't understand russian" in russian... I think. Can not really be sure, as I said, my russian is almost non existent.
  • In a few weeks classes start, I am going for a degree in international relationships.

Interests

Love video-games and reading. Hoping to write about that mainly.
Enjoy reading about technology. The present and future of cryptocurrencies , blockchain and particularly of bitcoin. News of the world in a broad sense.
Really like cigars and booze, the quality ones.

Books I love:
  • The art of war
  • The prince
  • Tecnica de un golpe de estado (Something like "technique for a coup d'etat" )
  • The grey eminence
  • Zizek, all of it
  • Death series in the Discworld, haven't read anything else of the Discworld but I'm betting is good too.
  • Larteguy's books, mainly "la guerre nue"
Video-games

I play everything, well not so much lately but yeah, everything.

  • Love the Front Mission series. Absolutely addicted to it, play Front mission 3 one or two times a year. Don't even know why at this point.
  • Have you played Faster Than Light? It's like heroin.
  • Floor 13. Game has ages. The guy who made it is bringing it back. Slowly but surely, it seems. Yay.
  • Metal Slug is one of the most beautiful things an arcade gave me. GF made me a t-shirt with the tank an all!

Contact

You can look me up on twitter: @ RobesPirrico, PSN: Paul_fiction, Battlenet: Bardealot, Steam: arndtnk or Bardealot, League of legends: Bardealot. Yeah, I know, mainly video-games. Have a facebook, don't really use it much.

Wrapping it up

Thanks to everyone, and particularly to the @keiserreport for letting me know of steemit and all the people on the "Helpful Posts from Steemit Users", really helpful!

Pd: Sorry about the image: Not really super interesting, also it is kind of hard to see that the browser is showing steemit, but it's a 'me' photo so you can put a face to the poster (and I hope adding the cat doesn't constitute cheating :) )

welcome to this platform, my simple advise to you is, always attract the attention of curators and whales, there must be originality and quality in your posts which could make the whale or curator to visit your blog periodically and hence reward you as you've proven to post only original and quality content.
