A tribute to our Nintendo DS Lites

Image
'   I believe I got my blue DS lite when I was in grade 6. I don't remember if my father bought it for me or how I got it.  This blog post is a tribute to our Nintendo DS Lites, the gray one being my cousin's. Both of these were stored in a cabinet for the longest time. I can't remember why I asked my cousin for his DS back then. I sold them recently as I work towards minimalism and getting rid of my previous material from hoarding. This post is so that I remember my days and time with my Cobalt DS Lite. This portable handheld gaming device was revolutionary at the time because you could play in the dark, adjust the brightness, the volume, and it didn't run on AA batteries. All of these conveniences meant that it was easier to access and discreetly play anywhere. This is where the job of the parent to monitor their kid's activities came into play.

A man of few words... on Twitter... or X? Seems like a decent combination. I created my Twitter account in January of 2013, so more than 10 years ago now.

I also never understood how some people could follow so many other people. Though I did unfollow a lot of people who I found not beneficial to follow. There were a lot of "subtweets" that occurred during highschool. These were ...

Los hombres construimos

"Aquellos que no aprenden de la historia tarde o temprano la repetirá" Dios nos construyó para que construyamos. ¿Y qué es lo que construimos...? Tradicionalmente el hombre construía la casa. Construía cada puerta, y en cada puerta había tornillos, pernos, manillas y varias otras partes juntadas para tener una puerta sólida que abría y cerraba, que tenía un propósito. Construía otras partes de la casa como los muros, el techo, las escaleras, las ventanas para que tuviera su familia un lugar que le podían llamar el hogar. Cada parte de la casa servía un propósito particular. Es importante destacar que el hombre usaba herramientas para realizar su trabajo. Cada herramienta tenía su propósito particular también. Este hombre tiene que ser preciso. Una equivocación puede causar accidentes dentro de la casa y puede lastimarlos a él y a su familia. Hoy en día, todavía hay muchos hombres a los que les toca construir la casa. Gracias al avance tecnológico, hay más herramientas disponi...
