About Steve_NC
|
I live in a neighborhood with lots of trees. I live in a three-bedroom house. I live in North Carolina. I live on coffee, cold cereal and spicy foreign food. I live to read. I read to learn. I haven't figured it all out yet. I am working on becoming a stock market millionaire. I spend too much time at Barnes and Noble. I spend too much time on the Internet. I spend not enough time at my favorite Chapel Hill coffee shop, Caffe Driade (which I intend to review one of these days). I once lived in Louisiana. I once lived in Alabama. I once lived in Florida. I am a man for all seasons except winter. I hit the wall early at parties. I have never hit a real wall. I have been a newspaper reporter. I have been a public relations writer. I once published a genealogy magazine. I have written one TV commercial. When I was 16 I won a record player in a writing contest sponsored by a radio station. I have been a paid and published erotica writer. I used to write outraged letters to the editors of newspapers. I write thoughts in a journal and surprise myself with their triteness. I don't write as much as I should. I write to-do lists but lose them. Some people say I write good. I'm gonna' sit right down and write myself a letter. I once wrote a love letter to a girlfriend that made her weep on the job. I admire writing with blood in it. I read non-fiction books. I rarely read fiction. I used to read science fiction but it became repetitive. I read cereal boxes, the yellow pages, and Gideon Bibles in hotel rooms. I gave up reading minds. I have a dog. I had two dogs, but my favorite one died. I have a history, and I have plans. I have a truck. I have many CDs, and many books. I have a daughter. I sometimes have to laugh. I have to tell you something. I do not have faith. I do not have illusions. I do not have the sailboat that I want. I do not have secrets to reveal. I have no bananas today. I have much more work to do on this profile. I ... (more to come)
RATING POLICY
Rate me, I'll rate you
What does this mean? No, I'm not trading hits -- not exactly. It simply means that if I see that you have rated one of my reviews, I will put you on my "to visit" list and will eventually rate one or more (usually more!) of your reviews. I would like it if you would rate lots of my reviews, but this is not a requirement for me to rate lots of yours. I will always be honest in my ratings. Even if you give me an "NR" I will put aside my ego as much as I can in order to give your opinions an objective evaluation.
There is only so much time available for reading and rating as well as writing, commenting, etc. I give first preference to those who have rated me, but I also spend some time almost every evening rating "Just In ..." opinions and opinions of products and services in which I have a personal interest.
WEB OF TRUST
I am going slowly in building my WOT, mainly because I haven't completely figured it out yet. If I happen to have checked out a reasonably large number of your opinions and found them consistently well written and informative, or just somewhat informative but entertaining, I may add you to my WOT. ("Sometimes you feel like a WOT, sometimes you don't.") As with ratings, I will give preference to considering adding to my WOT those who have added me to theirs, but it will not be an automatic reciprocation sort of thing. Similarly I don't expect you to add me to your WOT just because I've put you in mine. Currently (12 November 2000) I'm trusting more people than are trusting me, and that's OK. After all, I know that I'm smart enough, good enough, and gosh darn it, people like me!

Do powerful forces at the Equator generate mysterious aerial phenomena (note pink blob at upper right)? Or do they merely befuddle tour guides into forgetting to remove their fingers from in front of the camera lens? YOU BE THE JUDGE! And be sure to read my review, "Weirdness at the Middle of the World." |

Birmingham's hellish idols: "Ram Man" preaches unholy gospel from his perch at Five Points; Vulcan moons the suburbs. Which one is more evil? YOU DECIDE! Read my travel review, "Finding Satan in Alabama." |
