Robbie's current situation:

I live in a shared apartment in University City right on the Delmar Loop. For almost a year now, I’ve worked as a brand ambassador for several marketing agencies promoting businesses like PNC Bank, Verizon, and Pepsi. One of my current gigs is being a product demonstrator for SodaStream, a home soda maker, at local retailers. Theatre has been plentiful for me! I’ve been acting in community musical theatre shows throughout the St. Louis area for at least a year now, while having also just performed my first season with Delta Dental of Missouri’s “Land Of Smiles” touring kids’ theatre program. I especially like to dance on the stage, so I take community dance classes and at the dance studio, COCA. Some of my daily routines include running, biking, tennis, freelance video production, playing video games, and hanging with friends and family.

I had a freedom-filled weekend this past Fourth of July!

I had scheduled myself to work a promo for Pepsi Throwback down at the Arch grounds over the three-day weekend, and had a great time! Seeing the thousands of people coming down to watch the air shows, live music, and fireworks gave me the sense of the cool freedom people have to get together with their families, friends, and enjoy life's moment. We can do this whenever! Just this weekend was the traditional day of America's freedom :)

I had the great social freedom as a crowd-gatherer all weekend. I preached the word of Pepsi Throwback while I got to talk about the nostalgic experiences of the older age groups. One man had recalled drinking this 70's-80's All-Sugar Pepsi while listening to The Steve Miller Band. They were performing that evening 20-30 years later! How cool for that guy!

Seeing the air show was great! The array of planes zig-zagged and dived in their own ways. Planes pulled of stalls that looked like they ran out of gas, falling straight down then pullling the plane up just in time before it would hit the river! What freedom of space planes have in the sky... I'll end on that: The sky's the limit, baby!

On Monday night, I went out on a date to see the Webster Groves fireworks. Girl next to me on a towel, sweet drinks in hand, and a spectacle in the sky! I treasure the freedom I have to spend time with anyone I want and where I want.

"Run, Freedom, Run!"
