Poem-A Sandy Day Out: By Mohammed Macatof

Something just happens
for once in a life
like a trip to a desert
a day into the sand
with sandy people
singing and dancing
colorful desert girls
with the elderly man
who plays a charming bin.

A delightful camel ride
too far, too far.
If luck permits
a pleasant sun set.

Walking on dunes
falling on it
and trying again.

An evening in a camp
sitting in a mehafil
leaning on pillow
with hot cup of tea
enjoying exotic song
eating spicy food
enjoying exotic dance.

and all of a sudden
a light desert storm.
all you can witness
just in a day
just like me.

So don’t ask me
what’s there to see
into the sea of the sand.
Just make a plan
as quick as you can
a trip to that land
of great Jaisalmer.

I chose this poem, mostly because I like the tone it sets about the dry and arid desert. I also love traveling, and I think, even though I’m not really one for poems, it really is a good one.

Week 4 and 5 challenge: Media and a Memory

Legos were the most important thing to me as a kid. I couldn’t live without them. Every free moment I had was filled with building cool creations. I don’t know what I’d be doing as a kid if I didn’t have them to play with.

My favorite part about them is that I could make anything I wanted, without any limits. I could make a skyscraper, a racecar, a spaceship, anything. I couldn’t do this with any other toy nearly as well.

Seeing my little brothers play with Legos remind me about the good old days of being a kid!

Week 3 my favorite apps

So, here are some of my favorite apps with a description for each, really in no particular order.

Skype: For computer, iPad, and iPhone, it’s diverse and brilliant. With no real competition in video chat, it’s a very useful app that I use all the time at home. I can talk to any of my friends, no matter how far away, as long as they’re online. I can also use it to talk to my friends while I play some sort of game with them.

Steam: This one is for computer only, but still great. It’s an app I use to organize all of the games on my computer. I have literally every game on my computer loaded onto this and it works great. I can also see what my friends have been up to recently with game playing.

Myscript: This is a calculator that has the ability to make anything you write into an equation. I can write down any equation on my math homework, and it will solve it for me!

Web converter: This one is a website, but it’s really cool. It can convert any type of file into a different type. This is very useful for going back and forth between Mac and PC.
