<center>Has it been a year already?</center>

<center>Is the @heroic15397 account really 1<sup>SteemYear</sup>old?</center>

<center>No doubt about it.</center>
 
<center>Even @steemitboard has acknowledged it in wishing me a Happy Birthday!</center>

<center>Thank You!</center>

About a week ago, I showed my appreciation for the Steemit community who has allowed me to reach the 60 of Reputation cap.

Today, it will mostly be about me with a 365 Steem days recap.

---
---

<center>Let's **start** with the **beginning**.</center>

I know, it sounds redundant, pleonastic, or repetitive but it is the most logical course of action.

---

![PaperArtist_2014-02-02_20-12-45.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSjjrpewk8Vhdogrpq5GNKfy7hNHo3DzEqPcREaQ85eU9/PaperArtist_2014-02-02_20-12-45.jpeg)

My first post on the platform was a brief introduction where I revealed that my main field of work is accounting.

<center>[- Let me introduce myself](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@heroic15397/let-me-introduce-myself)</center>

---

By the way, I once had the idea of engaging myself in an office work/accounting tips series, but only one publication has come out of it yet.

<center>[- 3 Tools for the Accountant / 3 Outils pour le Comptable (Quebec, Canada)](https://steemit.com/accounting/@heroic15397/3-tools-for-the-accountant-3-outils-pour-le-comptable-quebec-canada)</center>

---

<center>I have also introduced my entire close family unit's artistic talents.</center>

 <center>[- My brother is in a Metal band (My Artistic Family - Part 1)]( https://steemit.com/music/@heroic15397/my-brother-is-in-a-metal-band-my-artistic-family-part-1)
[- My mother is a Painter (My Artistic Family - Part 2)]( https://steemit.com/art/@heroic15397/my-mother-is-a-painter-my-artistic-family-part-2)

---

<center>Then I went on talking a bit more about myself.</center>

<center>[- hERoIC15397 : What's behind the Name? (153, 39, 7, 137 & more)](https://steemit.com/mathematics/@heroic15397/heroic15397-what-s-behind-the-name-153-39-7-137-and-more)

[- My Awakening as a ‘‘Truther’’](https://steemit.com/conspiracies/@heroic15397/my-awakening-as-a-truther)</center>

---

First, I tried to write an editorial or philosophical kind of piece, but I realized I was not very good at it.

I tip my hat to those who can manage to successfully lay this type of well-thought-out article and generate argumentative discussions among Steemians such as @kyriacos, @krnel, @dwinblood, etc.

<center>[- Sports & Entertainment as true expression of free market](https://steemit.com/sports/@heroic15397/sports-and-entertainment-as-true-expression-of-free-market)</center>

---

I did, however, write about economic and social matters to my satisfaction, but it was in French, my native language.

<center>[- La couverture de la conférence de Bilderberg dans les médias écrits au Québec est nulle!](https://steemit.com/bilderberg/@heroic15397/la-couverture-de-la-conference-de-bilderberg-dans-les-medias-ecrits-au-quebec-est-nulle)

---

Earlier, I was given the chance to translate *en français* two great reports by two very generous Steemians, namely @stellabelle and @papa-pepper.

<center>[- YO ROBOT: Asimo (a French translation of @stellabelle’s article)](https://steemit.com/robots/@heroic15397/yo-robot-asimo-a-french-translation-of-stellabelle-s-article)

---

Some of my first Steem steps were three lists of links, leading toward web sites related to topics that are of interest to me.

Again, it was a way to signal to others what I am about.

It was at a time when I knew nothing of markdown. Fortunately, my editing skills have been getting better since.

<center>[- Your entry point to the Internet of Conspiracies](https://steemit.com/websites/@heroic15397/your-entry-point-to-the-internet-of-conspiracies)

Another relatively easy writing exercise, I like to do on days I am less inspired or when I simply feel like sharing my love for music and cinema, is telling about *My Top 10 Favorite* songs, bands, movies, actors, or film directors.

The most complicated topic I had to research and type about was the infamous Pizzagate scandal.

<center>[- Beware Pizzagate Researchers: Besta's Andrew Kline is NOT Obama's Andrew Kline](https://steemit.com/pizzagate/@heroic15397/beware-pizzagate-researchers-besta-s-andrew-kline-is-not-obama-s-andrew-kline)

But the themes I have decided to pursue and which I am most proud of having put into form are made of texts surrounding pictures I took.

Such as the numerous *Montreal/Other Cities' Murals* posts where I give the readers the exact physical location of all the graffitis they get to virtually see.

Still, the best moments of this network experience is when I got to put into practice the teamwork spirit of Steemit.

When @raymonjohnstone proposed Rising Steem RPG, a kind of strategy game similar to Risk, for example.

An important highlight of my Steem life was when I was accepted in order to contribute to the very popular @steemsports. 

Back then, a group of about twenty or thirty people was putting efforts together so to provide four rewards distribution games a day.

For a brief period of time, I felt part of something Steemingly important under the supervision of @thecryptodrive and of @crytpoiskey who was assigned as my editor.

Sports, games, contests, challenges, etc. are the best way, in my humble opinion, to meet people and form relationships on the web.

Joining the *Steemit Fantasy Hockey League* allowed me to chat and planned with people toward a common goal.

I'm happy I got to know other sports fans such as @bacchist, @full-measure, @shenanigator, @will-zewe, etc.

Finally, *SFHL* wasn't the only way I got to develop interesting ongoing​ discussions with other Steemers.

In fact, every day​​ I log in, I can be sure there will be interesting people here available for positive human exchanges.

Additional mentions to the following companions who are not specifically named anywhere above. Hope I'm not forgetting anybody...
