I was walking and I thought that the trees would make a nice picture. So guess what I did? I took a picture of the trees! hehe. One thing that I love about the South/Mid-West is that it is so green. That is the one thing that Cali is lacking... but what do you expect when you're always having wildfires. Cali still shits on Missouri any day. =)
I was on my way to campus and I decided to take a couple pictures of the things that make the campus what it is:
A random painting right outside of the campus of a Redhawk. It's right next to an Irish pub and a pizza/pasta joint where I had lunch. yumm.
Houck Field where we play our home games. It's not a huge field but It will get the job done when we are smashin' on teams... hopefully. It doesn't help that we were placed last in our conference during media day when discussing pre-season rankings. =/
The main entrance sign before entering the campus. If you can see behind the sign, they are doing construction near the field to eventually have new dorms as well as a new locker room.
I was hyped up when I saw that the University Center had a New Era fitted of SEMO. I was shot down when I found out that they didn't have my size and that they are discontinued. =( But I'm going to try and talk to the person who orders all of the apparel and see if she can special order me a hat. That would make me happy.
I've always passed this Obama '08 building and wondered what it was all about. Being that Obama is awesome and that I'm here for change in this country, I stopped by and checked it out. I spoke with a guy by the name of, Meno. He told me that they've been there for about a month and that everyone is curious about it. Not just Democrats come in but Republicans as well (which came as a surprise to me, being that it is the mid-west and everyone is a die-hard republican). What was interesting was that Meno was also from the Bay Area and understood how I'm feeling living here in Cape. He told me that it is great for someone like me to be able to participate in promoting Obama's campaign. He said that since I'm on the football team, I would be able to reach a more social crowd of a younger age which would mean something because a football players voice is actually heard in this city. I'm excited to do my part in this election and hopefully get people to realize that change is necessary in this world.
"Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change." -Barack Obama 2008
Meno hooked it up with a few bumper stickers and a few others. This is only the beginning of what is to come with me helping out. And you already know I had to pick up some SEMO gear from the University Center. The nice lady at the Admissions Building told me that all gear is 25% off on every Friday. So I'm going to have to report back there and pick up some more SEMO stuff, ya digg?
