Thoughts on the SNES

Hey there everybody! How is everyone today? Its me the 7YearOldHippie. I hope everyone's weekend was amazing Mine was awesome I spent all of Saturday relaxing at a lake at an elevation of 13000ft. It was a nice time and I took a good nap. Today I would like to discuss the freaking SNES MINI.  
                                        
First of all what the Hell? I thought Nintendo stopped the production of the NES mini so they could produce more SNES minis. Now it looks like that was a lie because we sold out like in a literal minute. I understand tons of people want these guys but I feel like Nintendo kind of dropped the ball by not making more. Now I guess I'll have to wait to buy it from scalpers on Ebay who will sell it to me for $300. I know its not that big a problem but I guess its just slightly disheartening.

Solar Eclipses and Thoughts

Hey there everybody! How is everyone today? Its me the 7YearOldHippie. How was everybody's weekend. Mine was fantastic went on a pretty good hike and went to the Crystal Mill at Crystal City by Marble Colorado. It was an especially nice hike cause it was my birthday so it was pretty relaxing. I also saw the Solar Eclipse today and it was awesome.  I used one of the UV filter screens so I could protect my eyes. I hope everyone was able to safely view the eclipse using screens or protective lenses. There is no need to hurt our eyes when we have readily available technology to help us.
 `                             
While the Eclipse was amazing (as all natural events are) that is not the thing I want to talk about today. I would like to mention something that occurred to me last week. I own one of those fake robotic Persian cats. The ones that look slightly realistic and are fluffy.        

                                      
Anyway, I like to keep this toy perched by a window at my house. I do this because I like how he looks when you see him from the outside. I've noticed something strange however, other real cats come to my house and like to meow at the window. I think they're trying to get the attention of my cat. The problem is my cat isn't real so it can't play or notice them. I've been wondering if that makes the other cats feel bad like they were snubbed. I hope not. Then I began to wonder about us as humans and how often we get despondent when someone slights us. I wonder how many of those times actually had nothing to do with us, but we chose to take it personally. I guess what I am trying to get at is we should not take things so personally. Many of the things that happen to us have nothing to do with us. And our relationships have as much to do with other peoples personal baggage as much as it has to do with ours. This just my personal thoughts, on the matter I know I have no experience with relationships and I am the last person in the world qualified to give relationship advice.

Longboarding in the mountains

Hey there everybody! How is everyone today? Its me the 7YearOldHippie. How was everybody's weekend. Mine was fantastic went on a pretty good hike and climbed a fourteen-er (also known as Conundrum Peak), However that is not what I am her to talk to you about today. I am here to discuss the subject of longboarding.
                      
I went longboarding today and it was a ton of fun. I used to skateboard a lot as a kid and I am trying to get back into the board sports. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it exhilarating. It was not too hard to get into but I used to skateboard when I was smaller so that probably helped out. Honestly I would recommend everyone give it a go its a fun way to get around. Longboards are not that expensive as mine only ran me about $100. I know it can be hard to get into new activities as we get older but we should not let that stop us. Life is about motion and trying new things even if they are scary.

Hiking in Basalt Colorado

Hi there Everybody! How is everyone today? Sorry about the late post as I am still adjusting to being back. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was fantastic I went hiking in Basalt Colorado.

The trail I went on is called the Arbaney Kittle trail. It is a a 17.5 mile one way hike. I would rate this trail a 4/5 as it was  a good one. I went hiking on this trail with a friend of mine and we were on it for a good 2.5 hours. Obviously we didn't complete the entirety of trail instead we went to the halfway point and then came back. So we technically made this trail into an out and back trail.

Me and My friend embarked on this trail at about 10:00AM. It was early in the summer and a fun excursion. I didn't see a lot of people which was kind of weird as it is a popular trail but maybe it was an off day. The trail is dog friendly so great for out four legged friends.  For the majority of the hike you will be hiking through a mixed forest of pine, spruce, and aspen. There are also large expanses of aspen trees that are beautiful.
