even though these things filled my mind as i endeavored to find as much hip-hop and randb for ty as i could on my ipod ( i liked it but i could n't say i was often in the mood for it so the selection was n't all that great , something i needed to rectify ) , i still managed to see the stunning beauty of colorado most especially when we drove by the colorado national monument , something i decided we had to come back and take a closer look at .
