Anheuser Busch/ The Loop

Anheuser Busch/ The Loop

4/4/15

     I get the opportunity to work as a Tour Guide at the Anheuser Busch this summer, and I thought it would be a good idea to take the free tour myself just to get a feel of what I would be doing before the orientation.

     The Biergarten was very cool. At the end of the tour, each person over 21 received a free AB drink of their choice. 


     This is the ultimate frat picture. A buddy of mine wishing he could chug beer from this chiller in one part of the tour.


     Everything about this building is awesome. Color scheme. Detail. Clock. Flag. Everything. It is a beautiful piece of architecture. 


     Not really sure why I love this photograph so much, but I do. The Loop is a fun place.


     As soon as I took this, I instantly thought of the Beatles (minus 2 people). After this was taken, we went into that Vintage Vinyl store to look for some old records, but there was some band in there that we did not know that was signing autographs.

Perspective

Perspective

     We don't realize the way things look when they are right in front of us. People often look ahead at what's in the distance, rather than what is in front of their faces.

     Summer of slushies? Absolutely. Lots of exploring will calls for lots of slushies. S/O to QT.



     Finals week was rough. Thankfully the on-campus cafe, Kaldi's, was there to comfort me with coffee.


     Pulled an all nighter on this day. I took this at the beginning before I got very hyper and focused from multiple cups of coffee. If you can tell, I was actually working on a previous blog post.


     I could not express my excitement when BK brought back the famous chicken fries. S/O to Burger King, keep doing your thing.


     Sometimes it is hard to focus in class. If I am not on social media or texting, I am often taking pictures because why not? (Watch game strong.)

Crimson Red Nike Superflys

Crimson Red Nike Superfly's

(Time span of 3 days before they ripped)

     As excited as I was to try out my first pair of Superfly's, the very last thing I was expecting was for them to rip, in a spot that I did not even kick with but maybe once or twice, after only using them 3 times at kick-around's for a few hours a piece.

     I am a huge fan of the way my cleats look. My motto (sometimes): Look good, feel good, play good.


     New cleats always get a top spot on my shoe rack, right next to the shoes I wear the most (except for a pair of Kobe's that I copped).


   I love the way these cleats look. I am not a fan of neon colors on my cleats, so this bright red and blue do the trick nicely. 


   Although I am terribly upset that I only got to use them for a short time, I still admire their design in terms of colors, not the way they connected the sole to the upper boot.



     I will never buy a pair of Superfly's again because of this incident. I always had an image in my head that they were phenomenal boots. However, in my case, I was sadly mistaken. They do look pretty great in front of a sunset like this though. Thank you Nike for assuring me to not buy this type of Nike boot ever again.

Castlewood, Round 2.

CASTLEWOOD PARK, ROUND 2.

4/29/15

     This place will be explored multiple times this summer. More pictures to come.

     Had the opportunity to visit this beautiful park with a good friend. Logs along the sandy river are also cool.

     The panorama effect on iPhone's is one that I utilize very often, especially for a landscape like this. 


     Taking a photograph of someone taking a photograph is awesome, especially while atop a bunch of fallen trees such as these.


     The fallen trees (as mentioned in the previous photograph) fell in a way that allowed us to climb to a pretty good height.


     This split-path was located at the end of our excursion. They led to the same ending point, but I admired that they built the path this way purely to save the trees that were in the way.
