Quentin Tarantino is my favorite director of all time. I think his 1994 hit, Pulp Fiction, is the last masterpiece of post-modernistic writing that was created.  That being said, I have always had a hard time getting along with people. I don’t like people, but there is something about human nature, in the way that people interact with each other, that has always intrigued me. I don’t like it when people look at me, wondering why that guy isn’t paying attention to the lesson in the back of the class. I don’t like attention, even in the smallest capacity, but I love watching others deal with it.

Everybody has a story to tell, whether they think they do or not, and I like to people watch. Sometimes, life is as simple as that. I write to capture those stories, or at least, to capture the stories I think are worth telling. I write because I’d rather be in another world, than deal with the issues of my own.

Hi, my name’s Spencer and I’m going to be writing here on the Fenton InPrint website every now and then about life stories and observations I have around school. Back in the 2012-2013 school year, I was a writer on the newspaper with a few friends, but as time marched on, I faced problems with scheduling and couldn’t return, until now. Even though I missed the opportunity to sign up for the class, I kept in contact with the lovely Pam Bunka and here I am!

In addition to writing here, I’m the author of my own personal blog Cracker~Barrel Thoughts.  As far as content is concerned, it is very similar to what I hope to contribute to this site, except I promise I’ll tone down the expletives. People go through a lot in their lives, good and bad alike. When I started my blog, back in January, I felt very alone, I was going through a lot and, frankly, I was scared of the future.

I still am.

But I realized, that if I write about it online, and put it out to the public, maybe someone else could relate to it. If I wrote long enough, I could find out that I’m not alone. Even if I found one person who could possibly relate in a positive manner, my writing would be justified. I still feel alone sometimes, but now, all I have to do is look at all that my blog has brought me so far and realize that I’m not. I don’t have much to show for it, but this blog has done wonders for me; every time I write, it feels like the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders. If someone out there feels the same way when they read it, I can’t begin to describe how great it feels.

That’s why I’m writing here today.

Thanks guys, and I hope this is the beginning of a great relationship between the two of us.
