Its been a while!

Well I have come to the conclusion that I dont NEARLY blog as much as I used to and it is something I need to work on. But as of now I guess I’ll give you a brief summary of whats been going on in my life lately.

1) girlfriend: The lovely Ms. Whitley and I are doing amazingly great in our relationship! Things just keep getting better and better. She started coming to Oak LEaf and now her best friend is coming too. She is the best person to ever come into my life and I couldnt ask for anyone else to call my love.

2) church: Well Oak Leaf has officially moved back to the theater as of 2 weeks ago and things seem to be going smoothly. I’m still volunteering and I still get to play guitar with the band a decent bit. I’ve grown so much as a person in life and in Christ since I started attending Oak LEaf Church and have made so many great friends in the process of doing so. This fall we are re-launching the youth ministry!!!!!! Instead of Limelight its going to be called Fueled and I’m super stoked about getting to play in the band for the kids on Wednesday nights. Matt told me I might even get to lead the kids in worship for a few songs. Music ministry is something I’ve always been passionate about but soon its hopefully going to become what I hoped it would : )

3) music: Music wise things are going rather well. Will and I discussed some stuff and he is actually going to get me guitar lessons when school starts! I’ve basically come as far as I can on my own with my guitar knowledge, skill and technique so this will be the most beneficial thing to happen to me musically. I’m really excited though : )   Although I AM in need of some new equiptment. The time has come I thing for me to upgrade guitars. I’ve been playing on an epiphone Les Paul for almost two years now but I’ve started having a few technical issues with it. I’m also looking at some different pedals so I can get a sound that I’m decently happy with.

4) school: School starts back this Thursday…….ugh

5) general: In general ly life has been going rather smoothly. I’m a senior now and I’m on track for graduating, My girlfriend makes me feel like the luckiest guy in the world, and Jesus keeps me pushin’ forward! YAY JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How to almost get arrested at Bruster’s on a Saturday night

Ok, well this past weekend I performed in a review of several different musicals over the years. Of these were “Sideshow”, “Spring Awakening”, “Sweeney Todd” and “RENT”. After our performance Saturday night, a group of people and myself went to Bruster’s to get some ice cream. Everyone got their ice cream decently fast, but unfortunately for my friend Michael they stopped serving as soon as he got to the window. My friends and I had gotten semi-excited due to our recent ice cream sugar rush and thought to ourselves “Hey, we should sing the song “La Vie Boheme” from RENT”. This was the outcome……

This was possibly one of the best nights of my life. But, unfortunately the employees at Bruster’s were saying that we were “Holding them hostage as an act of retaliation for not giving Michael any ice cream”. So they called the cops! If you listen closely you can hear the lady telling me to get off the table and the girl in the background telling her to get back inside! Good times…….

Prom discussion

Alright, well prom is in a couple of months and I’m starting to make the preparations for it. You know…..limo…..tuxedo……date……..DATE! I asked someone yesterday and I wasnt turned down, but I wasnt given a yes either. Although that may not make much sense.  I dont want to go into details but short and simple, she may go with someone else, which would leave Marcus dateless. So I stay on the lookout for the one that will say Si Senor.

 ON the plus side I’m most likely going to rent a party bus. Its basically and RV/bus like thing that is basically a big rave on the inside. Tis’ shall be sweet. It may be a bit expensive, but I’ll figure it out somehow.

 When it come to my tux, I’m thinking about a white jacket, black pants, and wing tipped shoes. Pretty snazzy right?

 Well thats all for now. I may write again at school tomorrow morning.
