Death Of A Salesman Cast

Death of a Salesman was quite nice and entertaining, considering the fact that reading is not one of my biggest hobbies. I think that if I was to put this work in o a movie I would probably use actors like Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Leornardo Dicaprio, and Taylor Lautner.
I believe that Jack Nicholson would make a great Willy because of the way he changes from being a grumpy old man to being a nice father and at the same time the way he goes from being completely sane to the way he start imagining all kinds of stuff, He makes a great person for this role because of his past experiences and the way I’ve seen him work. Perfect grumpy, happy, insane, old man.
Diane Keaton would be great as Willys wife because of the way she has to basically put up with everything, she would make a good Linda, not only because of what she is capable of, but also because of the long working relationship she has with Jack Nicholson, they know each other too well and could easily be categorized as the perfect couple for this play.
Leonardo Dicaprio will definitely be my Biff because if I want my play to be successful, I need someone that will attract a bunch of girls, because we all know that if girls show up to the play… guys will follow. Not only that, but quite honestly the guy is a pretty good actor. He would make a great rebel old kid that does not know what he is doing or where he might be headed to.
Taylor Lautner will be my Happy, and that is because he also makes a great young actor, and the perfect good ole brother that is trying to get the family together.

The American Dream

Americans have lived for many years with a goal in mind; to live "The American Dream". I spent a full day asking people around me what the American Dream was all about, and every person had a different answers for the same question; some believed that the American dream was driven by money and nothing else, others believed that it is family what constitutes the dream, and many others thought that it is made of money, family and a dog. I got the answers that I was looking for but going to other people to try and guide me to the right answer for me has created confusion inside my head, to the point where I did not know what the dream was all about for me.
After a while I came to realize that the American Dream is basically an accomplishment or goal that people have set in their life, something that will make them happy. Therefore, if someone is happy and prosperous then they are living “The American Dream”. On the other hand, when someone achieves a goal, they tend to set bigger goals for themselves. Those actions make the “American Dream”, bigger and sometimes unachievable. This conclusion leads me to believe that the American Dream are just words made up to make people stronger and to persuade them to never give up, and it also makes it impossible to achieve.

Fuddruckers in my life.


When I see a Fuddruckers restaurant it is hard for me not to think about my wife; that is because back in the summer of 2002 that was the place where I met my wife. Everything started because one of my friends was trying to talk to a girl that worked a Fuddruckers and he wanted me to help him talk to the girl, according to him she was beautiful, not like any other girl, and all kinds of other things, little did I know; she was going to end up being my wife. At first she didn't really wanted to talk to me, apparently we had met before and I was rude to her; up to this day I still can’t remember when that happened.
About a week after we first met I ended up going back to the restaurant, she took my order and as she was walking away from the cash register she fell flat on her butt, I couldn’t help it but to laugh, she didn’t like that… not one bit, and long story short I ended up wearing my cheese burger home. After a couple of days I guess she felt bad and started to talk to me; we ended up being really good friends and I did tried to help my friend get with her, but she ended up telling me that she was not interested on him. One year after a good friendship we ended up together and got married in 2005, for our first food we decided to go to Fuddruckers. Seven years later we are still together and every time we go to that restaurant we look at each other and smile thinking about all the things we’ve been through and how that restaurant was so important for our relationship and now we got two kids to prove it.

Northern Mexico's Enchiladas


Last Saturday my mother came to visit from Mexico; she loves to cook and obviously could not resist going straight to the kitchen to fix one of my favorite dishes (I guess that was her way of saying “I’m happy to see you”), Enchiladas from Northern Mexico, Quite honestly I don’t know if that is the real name of the dish or if that is the name that my mother came up with after she invented it. The ingredients for this delicious plate are:
  • ·         Guajillo Pepper which by the way is not even the real name of the pepper, it is produced by drying the Mirasol pepper, and as a good pepper I believe it comes from Mexico, mainly because I have not seen it anywhere else.
  • ·         Tortillas freshly made at my house by my wife, but if we break it down even more; you could say that tortillas are made out of three other ingredients which are:

o   Corn and more than likely it came from Texas, because not all corn tastes the same and the corn that we like always comes from Texas
o   Salt, this ingredient could come out of many places, however I’m going to adventure to say that it came from Sam’s Club, you can never go wrong with the truth.
o   Water which came out of my faucet and more than likely traveled all the way from Marietta which is where the main water treatment plant is located at.
  • ·         Manchego Cheese, this happens to be the most important ingredient, without cheese there is no enchilada! Even though the dish is 100% Mexican, the cheese is not. It is made in a region in Spain called “La Mancha”, there are many other cheeses that look and even taste similar to this one, but do not compare to the real deal. Made out sheep milk it is one of the best foods I could ever ask for, we don’t go to Spain that often so whenever I can I try to stock up on it.
  • ·         Onion, I know for sure this one came out of our same state because I shop at my local store where I know they pick their fruits and vegetables fresh every season.
  • ·        Puya Pepper which only happens to grow in south Mexico.
  • ·         Vegetable Oil, I read the label on the bottle so I know this one came straight from Southern California.
  • ·         Cumin is last ingredient; this is nothing but spice to help give a little more taste to the food, I don't really think it needs it, but I don't wanna be the one to mess up the dish so I use it anyways.

There is also an option to add chicken or beef to the meal, but I like mine without any meat. Basically the whole dish is nothing but tortilla, cheese and salsa, but at the same time there is nothing like it.
