Awe, the beauty of nature! Though I’ve always been a city person, devouring the lights, noise and hoards of people, sometimes a breath of mountain air is just what I need. This past weekend, I jumped on the opportunity for a mini getaway to Evergreen with some friends. The luscious green rolling hills and towering trees made for a relaxing drive. Of course we saw our share of deer and elk along the way, but little did I know the narrow winding road would lead to such a rare site. A buffalo had just given birth. The little guy, with matted fur, was taking his first steps. My friend Lindsey, who has her degree in biological science, informed us that the placenta was still attached. Though this may be an instant eeew for many, I thought it was interesting. I stared out the window wide-eyed as the farmer came out of his house. A couple people also driving by, got out of their car to snap a few photos. Before I knew it, we were on our way again, leaving the baby buffalo behind us. A day later I was back in suburbia not anywhere near where the buffalo roam. Yet, it’s little glimpses of mother nature like this that balance out our urban world. And for that, I am thankful. | |

That is one of my favorite Bill Murray movies it is about Hunter S. Thompson and his wacky exploits in the world the publishing. A must-see when you're not out the visiting the actual Buffalo |

A Frustaci Thing (24)

Life's little morsels of inspiration, observation and encouragement seen through the eyes of the Nextnc reporter.

|  | "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." | |
|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
