Sounds in my day

The sound of an alarm clock
The sound of a light switch
The sound of running water
The sound of a closing door
The sound of footsteps
The sound of keys
The sound of a car starting
The sound of a car door shutting
The sound of birds
The sound of a school bell
The sound of teenagers talking
The sound of unzipping a backpack
The sound of teachers
The sound of writing
The sound of students in a parking lot
The sound of home
The sound of doing homework
The sound of people
The sound of cars
The sound of dogs barking
The sound of people getting ready for bed
The sound of sleep

Haiku

Here's a good poem:

Haikus are easy
They do not have to make sense

My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie has to be "Dances with Wolves." It tells the story of a soldier who chooses to be stationed at a post in the middle of the country where there are no settlements. He does this because he wants to see the "frontier" before he dies. As he lives in the country he eventually meets up with an Indian tribe and becomes one of them. One of my favorite quotes from this movie:

"The strangeness of this life cannot be measured: in trying to produce my own death, I was elevated to the status of a living hero."
