Ok, so I was all fired up to hate this guy. (because of a girl of course) He was coming over to my house and I was like "hey fuck that guy!" but then when he arrived, not 2 minutes in the door, he handed me a Chewbacca lego action figure...

He owed me no explanation and had no reason to prove himself except maybe to pacify my childish reactions to the situation. However he took the time to consider our common bond (Star Wars) then went the extra mile by choosing my favorite character (Chewbacca) cast is his favorite medium (Legos).

The impact of that gesture was profound and I still use it as a barometer of how to balance the base human emotions of jealousy and bitterness. Steve is a Living example of what is good in people. I only wish I had a chance to get to know him better when it was more geographically convenient. In the meantime I will have to appreciate his wit and contribution to this silly little online community.

Until meet again Mr. Swarner, may the Force be with you.
