Questions....

Why did Nick think that Gatsby ws lying about his past?
What's going on with Daisy's daughter?
Why did Nick write down all of the people that went to Gatsby's house that summer?

Fitzgerald is a Poet

This is a valley of ashes

 — a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges

and hills and grotesque gardens;

 where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke

and, finally, with a transcendent effort,

of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.

 Occasionally a line of gray cars crawls along an invisible track,

 gives out a ghastly creak,
 and comes to rest,
 and immediately the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades
and stir up an impenetrable cloud,
 which screens their obscure operations from your sight. (Fitzgerald 27)

Impressions

Recovering form a bad first impression depends on how bad it was. Also on the person that you are trying to fix it with as well.

If it was kind of a bad impression then it might be a little bit harder to bounce back from. Like if someone had seen my baby sister and I slapping each other then they might think that I am hurting her because it gets pretty intense haha. But it really is just me and her playing with each other. So I would have to show the person that we were just playing around, but after they saw what they saw I'm not sure if they would listen haa.

Then there's the person that you would try to fix it with. People take things differently and sometimes it's those things that people see the first time that either makes or brakes a good first meeting. If the person is cool and understanding, they might realize that me and my sister are playing, but if they jump to conclusions and come to the first thing that pops into their head then me and that person are probably not going to become "good friends".

So if this blog sounds kinda funky it's because I did it after work and I'm really tired, so don't judge me!

Is What We See What We Get?

Of course outward appearances are deceptive. It's the people that look innocent that usually take the last peace of food from the lunch line, or it's someone that doesn't talk much that is really one of the most amazing people to be friends with. My baby sister's outward appearance is probably the most deceptive out of anyone you will ever know. She is 3 years old and her name is Maggie. She looks all innocent playing with my other baby sister Ruthie, but the minute that she gets bored she's a completely different baby. She'll take the toy that she was playing with and go hit me with it until I play with her. She's most definitely deceptive.

We are too concerned with appearances by those swag fags walking around looking as if they are the bee's knees. They are just trying to look the part and try to go around impressing everyone with how well they can match. With regular people it's not that we're too concerned with our appearances, but we just like to look nice. I mean people might try a little hard and be concerned with it too much but only maybe to impress a certain someone....or everyone at that.

What I value in America is substantial and empty. I mean I can live without my iPod, but I value it because of all the entertainment it gives me. Then the things that are substantial are like food...because I love to eat, and family and friends and sports.

Speaking completely honestly, if it was my significant other, money would matter a little bit, but not enough to completely over power me. And my significant other's looks would have to be pretty. That's all I have to say on that.
