I'm saving my titles from the black abyss of the internet and giving them a permenant berth in a post. In order of first appearance.
A blog by Steven Held. Rants, raves, and other random things.

Welcome to all my family and friends that I have finally opened my website up to! Enjoy!
In celebration here are some interesting clicks for everyone.
Emily sent me this link of an awesome website of an UK Honda Civic ad that is stunning! An a cappella choir sings all the sounds effects. Click this link http://www.honda.co.uk/civic/ and skip the intro. Once you’re at the screen showing the car, down below you will see links of Home Explore etc . . . click on Watch and thoroughly enjoy!!!
While you're still tapping your fingers give this website a click.
I have been working at putting together another website to showcase my artwork. It is still in its construction stage but you're more then welcome to visit Steve's Art Pad Let me know what you think.
It really is time for a post in the year 2006 (I have failed miserably at my New Year's Resolution) So for all you poor folks that keep clickin' here and those weird people that search for the darndest things and wonder across my blog, I give you a post that will truly make you appreciate the National Enquirer or maybe the incredible true articles from the New York Times but most of all to 'poke' fun at myself.
Yes I was quoted in my school's newspaper, that is if you can call it a n-e-w-s-paper. Rather it's a joke-a-page except for the comic section which is duller then a pencil sharpened by our president. (Yeah I make jokes at both sides because I'm a moderate. Don't be harsh because I too am about to poke fun at myself) Anyway, so I was quoted in this fabulous publication known as the Branding Iron. Do they even have a website? Oh I guess they do. Now you're all waiting for this great quote by moi, because it will quite frankly change the world.
Steve Held is a sophomore art major who works in the UW Telecommunication and System Services Department. He said that everyone he knew had an online account. "Facebook is a fun Web site," Held said.


Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, As we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Good books leave you satisfied, great books change the very fabric of who you are. The last page of The Kite Runnerwas dog eared this morning. I was struck at how much I cared for the main character, then hated him, only to absolutely hate him, finally to like him again, and after repeating this cycle a few times I ultimately cared for him because I could see myself through him and in the other character as well. I'd like to believe that I mostly resemble this other character, Hassan, but very few people in the world can ever attest to having a stature like that. For this I will recall a great phrase from the book
"there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft."I'd feel like I was stealing from Hassan by comparing myself to him even if he is a fictional character.
The dreaded week of final tests is coming up, but I'm not studying. Why? I'm not worried and it's not time to begin oiling the rusted studying gears quite yet. Don't get me wrong I will study, I'm not that much of a nerd, but I'm not going to be hunkered down in the barracks of my sardine sized dorm room studying like a wombat caught in a trap until at least the weekend. For now I'm enjoying a good read. In fact I'm worried I won't be able to study if I don't finish this book. It's that good. :-)
