Those quotes on the board are very true. All three of them say that nobody really minds the hassles of spring time because they are just happy that spring is here. I really dont mind rain one bit because I know that there isnt a foot of snow outside or that when I walk out I will be freezing my tail off. Spring is a great time of year ad it is a really nice change of pace from cold/boring winter.

My favorite food when I was young was my moms chicken wings she would make every once in a blue moon. I would have liked them alot if she made them more often but I think I loved them because it was such a special occasion when she made them. That is still my favorite food today because she still only makes them once in a long while.
I would say that my tastes have changed since I was younger. I remember the first time I tried A1 steak sauce and I hated it. Now today I cant eat any type of meat without it. There are als0 many foods that I like now that I didnt like as a little kid.

The times when my opinion really matters is probably in the fall and sumer time when I work selling sweet corn and picking pumkins. My boss isnt around the farm alot so he counts on me alot of the time to keep track what has to be done that day. If we run into a problem I am usually the one who decides what to do. The kids I work with have a say in everything we do but they usually just turn to me if something goes wrong or if they dont know what to do.

That story on the board made me think of a kid that was in my class in 5th grade. His name was Mike and he would always get angry and flip out in class. Everyone thought it was scary and he was off his rocker. Personally I loved watching him get all ticked off and flip his deck or throw a chair at someone, it was like a little break from class for some entertainment. His normal routine was the teacher would tell him to do something that he didnt want to do so he would drop a couple of F bombs and then flip his desk and run out of the room. I think he also did this a little bit the next year in sixth grade. He eventually moved away and people forgot about him pretty quick.

That comic on the board is true. I think everyone is ready for spring but when it warms up a little and you think "Spring is here", the next day it snows and the temp drops 20 degrees. That is kind of the crappy thing about Minnesota weather, is that it is pretty unpredictable. What is predictable about it though is that you know we will always have hot summers and cold winters, that never changes. It will be nice when spring finally arrives.

A movie that changed my outlook on war was "Saving Private Ryan" because it had some really strong scenes in it about World War 2 and how it was so brutal. An example is when the mother gets a message that all three of her sons had died in the war and is really devestated. Another is when the american soldier is sitting downstairs and can hear the other American soldier fighting a german soldier to the death. This scene is tough because the guy just stands and listens to it because he is too scared to go and help, so the american ends up getting stabbed to death and the german sees that the scared soldier is harmless so he leaves him alone. After I had seen this movie, I realized that World War 2 was a brutal and cutthroat war where a ton of men died and their family had to hear about it back home.

Name a movie,book, or song that changed my life for good or bad is really tough to answer. I can't think of anything like that that has changed my life. I guess watching movies like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre made my life a little bit better because I could just be happy I am not in that situation. Also good music on radiostations make life better because you can listen to good music in the car. I really don't read too many books so I don't have a book that has changed my world. Other than those examples, I can't think of anything like that that has had an effect on my life.
