Q&A Time with: thesteve

so long as you stick around you will be good at keeping touch. i have been spending a lot of time in blogs and i was having trouble remembering who's blog i was writing in and then i found a little think i like to call "Subscriptions" it's so nice. you can keep up everywhere you go and it lets you know when people reply. it's so nice.

it's the only way i have been able to keep in touch with people. if you're not careful this place 1 gets addicting and 2 if you miss a day or so you will be so far behind it's crazy. i have a hard time going into CPF because i don't get on as much as i would like so i post in there and then the next time i post i'm so lost.

*sighs* oh well. lol. later days!

haha i started to 2nd page of your blog woo hoo!

**thesteve** · 11-22-2004, 11:21 AM

yes...subscriptions are amazing. and i do plan on sticking around...i've been here three years already (this is just a new username because the other grew outdated)

dudedude2

unless you frequented the guitar/bass/effects/amplifiers forums then you'd likely not recognize it.

Cinster · 11-23-2004, 09:35 AM

nopeage. . you're right there. i spend most of my time in the blogs, GD, here recently CPF, prayer requests, adive, and dating and relationships. i want to spread around but i dont think i would have much to talk about any where else. later days!

**thesteve** · 11-23-2004, 06:34 PM

that's how i felt at first, but things are slowly changing. i used to use this site solely for educational purposes but am beginning to see a bit more available.

Cinster · 11-23-2004, 06:36 PM

i am not using it educationally any more. lol. it's just pure fun now and i am falling in love with CPF it's great there. . . more and more fun everyday. if you counted those posts i'd be at a thousand by now. lol.

alright steve...do you HAVE a jagstang, or is it in your sig. b/c you think they are cool?

those are really cool!!

**thesteve** · 11-25-2004, 12:31 PM

my sig was made for the guitar/amps/effcts forums so people will know what gear i have. mine is the 1996 (50th Anniversary of Fender) model in fiesta red. i replaced the stock fender humbucker with a Seymour Duncan SH-4JB

RKjunkie · 11-28-2004, 11:59 AM

nice! i like the seafoam looking color of jag stangs. didnt curt cobain have a jag stang?

**thesteve** · 11-28-2004, 08:09 PM

Kurt Cobain is the inventor (so to speak) of the Jagstang. oh, mine is the fiesta red version of the jagstang, not the sonic blue one.

Hello Steve. Were you dudedude2 by any chance?

Mattlock · 11-28-2004, 08:12 PM

Wait, you were...

Why'd you change usernames?

i thought i had covered this already...but then i re-read the thread and realized i hadn't.

dudedude2 is a very old old screenname of mind. it was registered here in 2001 which was three years ago (actually not that long of a time), but i first began using it in 1997/1998 on AOL, AIM and other places on the internet. for a long time that name was an integral part of me, it was a personal identifying mark, but at the same time i didn't feel like it said enough about me as a person. it wasn't a nickname or anything, it was just something i came up with because i said "dude" alot.

two years ago a friend of mine started referring to me as "the steve". another year later a separate group of friends (who didn't know the first friend) started to call me "the steve". it has really just stuck to me. it's not something that i came up with, but something that other people have dubbed me. it's something that i identify with my friends, and not just myself, so in alot of ways it's alot more personal. it's also what i go by in my band (www.myspace.com/yourfavoriteband)...or more accurately, what my bandmates call me (because they were my friends, and then my bandmates). interestingly, i rarely introduce myself as the steve, but instead my friends do it for me.
