Steve's Interests
|
| General | Interests... whattaya got? The usual purveyor of articles, book, etc. on world and national events, the sciences, entertainment, sports, business, the arts, man's inhumanity to man, the better angels of human nature, etc. I love the good turn of a phrase. I'll stop before I start doing some Playboyesque "Turn-ons" questionnaire.
And, being a fairly normal human, there's this whole "save the world from itself instinct." Just a little way to help can be found at
and its associated sites. That whole do-good thing is probably also why I've started studying public policy in my quest for a second master's. That way I can have good intentions and be the most-educated unemployed person I know.
Oh and then there's the trivial. This is a good place to do it online. Unless you're Dyer, who does this for a living, last I heard...
Play Sploofus Trivia Free | | Music | For a sample, listen...
| | Movies | Casablanca, Star Wars (still a dork, but none of that newer garbage), All the President's Men, High Noon, The Great Escape, The Maltese Falcon, Real Genius, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Army of Darkness, Animal House, Airplane!, The Right Stuff, The Naked Gun, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Twelve O'Clock High, Godzilla, Henry V (Branagh), Young Frankenstein, Duck Soup, The Great Dictator, Army of Darkness | | Television | Rescue Me, Stargates, Battlestar Galactica (so I'm a sci-fi dork), Numbers, Lost, Twilight Zone, Taxi, Burn Notice - if you haven't seen it, do so. | | Books | I know it's not a book, but what the hell: READ the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" by Stephan Pastis. Just do it. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (but not that piece of crap movie- ever), On The Road, A Confederacy of Dunces, damned near most of whatever Heinlein wrote, My Cousin,My Gastroenterologist, too many others to mention | | Heroes | The 343. And astronauts, esp. Armstrong, Aldrin and everyone else in those first 3 programs who went where no one had gone before, and mostly since. And Daffy Duck, because there are more of us who resemble Daffy than Bugs Bunny, and those people who portray themselves as Bugs just manage to annoy everyone else. And Wile E. Coyote, because he never stops trying, even if he is always screwing up. Dad. |

Steve's Blurbs |
About me:
Great quote: "Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." - Harry Lime, "The Third Man"
In any event, actions define a person as much as their words, and I suppose few things, in my mind, anyway, have defined me as much as my involvement in the fire service with Wyndmoor Hose Co. No. 1 in Pennsylvania.
If you're bored or have a Marvin the Martian complex, I suggest visiting this site Top 10 Ways to Destroy the Earth.

Who I'd like to meet:
Not unlike a conversation starter an old boss of mine loved: If you could invite any three people who ever lived to dinner, who would they be? So many people say "Jesus," but don't you think he'd be kind of a wasted pick? Sure, he's a no-brainer for bringing wine (although I wonder about the vintage), but I mean, no matter what subject you brought up, the answer would be "Been there," or "Saw it," or "Did it." Plus, what do you serve? Did he keep kosher? And would his presence stop the free flow of discussion, seeing as how everyone there would likely be walking around on eggshells, if not water. I mean, do you want to be judged because you got the last of the mashed potatoes? Do ya?
