About Me

  • About Me: Oh, I'm no one terribly exciting. I enjoy life whenever it happens, and I've found out that it tends to happen fairly constantly. I'm sometimes called a Hobbit, and I've found that I generally agree. Peace and a good meal are all that I really need to be happy (maybe a song in my heart as well), though I am known to launch off on an adventure every now and again... Sometimes, my adventures run through words, and after much goading from the denizens of my head, it gets committed to paper. I tend towards hopeless procrastination, so my writing projects are usually few and far between. Recently, I've discovered blogging, and the rest is yet to be told...

More About Me

  • Nicknames: Stevey, Hobbit, Stubbs, Ismael, Snail, Short Stuff, Tall Green and Ugly
  • Religion: Catholic
  • Heroes: Sebastian, a 2nd-3rd century Roman soldier that was taken out and shot for trying to convert the emperor to Christianity. He was tied to a tree and hit by 3 arrows, one of them piercing a lung, and left in a ditch to die. He survived though, and was found by an old woman who nursed him back to health. As soon as he was able to stand on his own two feet again, he went back to the emperor to try again, and was martyred a second time, this time for good.

Travel

  • Places I love: "Wherever I go, there I am" - Kino's Journey
  • Places I've been: St. Louis, upstate New York, Orlando, Philmont Scout Ranch, the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, the Lanagan Fire Tower
  • Places to see before I die: the world!
  • Dream Vacation: The Great Books. We start in Turkey, to read the Illiad on the fields of Troy, then we sail to Greece, an Odyssey of our own. We wander down the dusty roads, reliving the journey of Oedipus, until we arrive in Athens, where we sit and listen to the great dialogues of Plato and Aristotle. We move on to Italy, for Dante's Divine Comedy. In Spain, we joust a windmill with Don Quixote. Shakespeare in English theatres, Dickens in the towers of London, and Poe in the dark alleyways. From there, we wander across the Irish hillsides, with Burns and Byron. There are so many more to visit and know, and I've only got it half planned. It kinda gives you an idea though.
