Is Art Dying?
The one thing that haunts me, is one day that we won't be able to walk in a museum. I've always wanted to walk into a museum, and check out the paintings that are displayed on the walls. I've actually been to an art show one time, and I enjoyed checking out the amazing world of artists. It's awesome to see their ideas come to life through so many ways, and I think it's cool how people were able to appreciate it like I did.

Fun Times at Globe Life Field: Part 2
Last month, I took a trip to my hometown of Arlington, Texas. It was the first time in nearly 15 years I've been back to the place that I grew up. During the two days I was there, I did some sight-seeing and was highly impressed with how much has changed the last time I was there, which was 2011. On the last day of my trip, I took part in a premium stadium tour at Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers. It was my first time there and was with a small group of people on the tour. I've discussed the things I've seen during the hour and a half tour in my previous story, which you can read down below. After the tour concluded, I went outside and took even more snapshots. I'll go over some of the images, individually and in collage form.
