Hey guys
First time writing a blog, I think I'll start off by introducing myself. Hi, my name is Esteban España, and I hail from Mexico/San Diego. Border city, yeah. I'm a pretty chill guy if I don't say so myself, high school freshman too. My name translate to Stevie Spain, thus the URL being thespainsishexperience. you know, like Spanish, but not quite. Whatever, it was a good idea when I thought of it.
So I'm not really sure what to do, I thought about writing a blog in order to let my memories go free. I guess I was a little inspired by the "The Great Gatsby." It was a great movie. If anyone doesn't know what it is about, it is about a man (Toby McGuire, acts as the "original Spiderman") who is depressed? I'm not quite sure, but he needs to see a psychologist right? Oh God, this is sounding really bad for me right now. Anyways, this guy, Toby McGuire, he sees the psychologist. He starts off by saying how disgusted he is with the men in New York, the progress, or lack there of, in New York. It is a place of party, life, and everything your typical teenager can ask for. Booze, Sex, and parties. He is disgusted because of the potential the city has, and if only everyone tried hard in order to succeed, how much progress they would make. This is where a man called Gatsby comes in.
Gatsby, he is the man that McGuire is proud of. In case anyone is wondering, Gatsby is Leonardo DiCaprio, arguably one of the best actors of our time. Anyways, he start telling how he is the only man in New York that isn't disgusting, how he worked so hard, and how there will never ever be a man like him in the world, in history, yada yada yada, all the nice stuff right? The psychologist asks McGuire to make a book, write something to express his feelings. Write down Gatsby's story. After all, McGuire has a writing degree, might as well put it to good use. He ends up writing about him, and well that's what the movie revolves around.
Long story short, DiCaprio (Gatsby) throws partys in order to find the girl of his dreams, which McGuire happens to know. It was really cheesy, but don't get me wrong; it was an amazing movie. I recommend anyone to watch it. It is definitely worth the two and a half hours of your time. I sure as hell enjoyed it. I recommend it to anyone.
Some of you probably noticed I insisted every now and then on calling the actors by their real names, like McGuire and DiCaprio. I like to do this because I feel it is very annoying to learn the names of all the people in each and every single movie, especially if you are like my where you just watch a movie once and you never watch it again. One would like to keep the names constant, and not have them change every two hours you watch them. I know I don't.
So that covers my Gatsby rant. Hm... I never even got to what I wanted to say. I was going to say that I like to set my feelings free. I just that if I write about it, I will be able to examine myself, or someone else will. Maybe someone will stumble upon it. Perhaps it will just be another brick in the wall. Who knows, it is worth a try. I'm not really depressed or anything, I just hate keeping stuff in, and I don't really want to annoy everyone by sending them my problems or anything. I guess I talk a lot, but it is only to one friend. I like to get many opinions. Also, texting is annoying. Why use two thumbs when you have the benefit of 10 fingers on a full keyboard?
Well, here goes nothing. I'm getting my driver's learner's permit tomorrow. Need to take the test early tomorrow, I havn't studied at all too. I don't think I really need to, I payed enough attention in Driver's Ed, and I ask questions to my parents when I'm in doubt. They're really good drivers, so it helps that I learn from them. They rarely do mistakes. I catch them not turning on their signals every now and then, but they're miniaml mistakes. apart from that, they're pretty good signals. But don't think those signals fly by, I make sure and call them out on it. "Hey mom, I know you didn't turn on that signal. Turn it on. You never know what the heck the guy behind you might be doing." hahaha. My mother simply responds by saying that it is as if there is a little policeman in the car, except I can't fine her, which makes me a little powerless I guess. Perhaps I should start, make a little private fining system. Ah, but she'll do the same to me, and since i'm a new driver, I think I will be on the losing side of the deal. Oh well, perhaps another day.
Ah... would you look at the time. 10:30PM. It is getting quite late. I must go to bed, regardless of the fact there is no school tomorrow. I need to take the test in the morning. I must pass too. I think I will do fine. See ya everybody, Stevie Spain signing out.
