Summer! (a personal insight on the emotional reflections of marc)

Wow thats a long title. So I hope to make this post live up to what the title implies. Well the first has to deal with the song that you may be listening to right now, unless you figured out that you can change that. But if you are listening to what I have endearlingly placed first then you will completely understand what this about. Not that this is a depressing thing, but it in this last summer of my high school career, I gotta go my own way in somethings.

First of all my career as a lifeguard has just begun. )I hope to become buff and tan, though I'll probably just end up tan, which is ok I guess.) Different then my fellow friends in the food industry. Its not much of a social thing. I only know Marilee at my pool and they pretty much split us up. She's a morning guard and I am a night guard (not to be confused with the Knight Guard commonly found in the courts of kings and other monarchy.) Its a tough job but I'm glad I get to do it!

Second I'm going my own way in school. as it is my senior year I'm kind of specializing for the field that I'm going into later in life. This is totally different then many of my friends, but its going to be really good for me. PS I'm not going into the mercanary corp.

Third is my apparent obsession with utterly depressing music like the song that you may still be listening to (depending on the tolerance of High School Musical 2 or the speed of your reading. Though I sincerely hope that it is the former rather than the later for reasons obvious.) I don't know why I like it. Most people that I associate with like happy music, but................ yea. It doesn't reflect in any way the present emotional state in anyway. But in the famous words of Sid the Sloth "What? Its catchy!" (think it with a lateralized "s" and makes more sense.)

Prom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and other stuff

HOLY COW PROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a blast. I went with the amazing Rachel Riding. For our day activity we went to Main street and had a grand old time taking pictures with the bronze statues!

Ride Like the wind Bullseye

This is us with our beloved friend harold.

I want some too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Date is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Big comfy COUCH!

And of course the beloved Masks.

It was really cool at Prom. Rachel was so stunningly beautiful. Dinner was also amazing.

Man...check out my ride! Just kidding, there were replicas from other copy cats in our group but let it be known that it was me and Rachel who thought of it and di first the others are cheap copies.

All I have to say is that it was a blast.

Duration of Crush...

Haha, so I had a funny experince today. I was thinking about all the stupid high school drama. About how people "get together" and say that they were made for eachother. That they loved their significant other with all their heart, and then the next week they are not together, split up, and extremely angry with eachother.
I then heard a satire in English that helped illustrate this topic. It is about a man who is walking down the street and sees a "women." "She" has long flowing blonde hair, and he is instantly in LOVE. He dreams, as he walks toward her, of marrying her, and having children, and then growing old together. As he approaches "her" she turns around and lo and behold, ITS A MAN! So he then says. "Immediatly turned away for the intellegence that you are i fact a guy. Duration of crush, 17 seconds."

Well the long awaited post has finally arrived!

I extend my most humble apologies for taking so long to write this blog. I was plagued with many events that have taken my time and consideration and have prevented me from writing this. But alas no more excuses its time to WRITE! Well lets see what has happened since I last wrote. I went to the illustrious Jazz/Mad festival at NAU in flagstaff! We got a superior in our Jazz and a superiour with distinction in our madrigal portion. Basically it means that we got the highest score we could get. It was so much fun!

Say hello to Nick, awesome tenor man, room mate, and cousinface.

Kylie was just a little excited to go.

Our poor little snowman never had a chance. Shortly after he was created he met his demise but we still took a picture with him.

Most kids thought it would be fun to sleep on the way home, but not me. I discovered that if I put my snow gloves on my feet I looked strangley similar to an orangutan, which of course kept me occupied for the duration of the trip.

Then that very night it was our Co-ed dance! I went with the Extremely beautiful, talented, funny, witty, (happy thought.... haha) Katie Wilson. She is so much fun! We had dinner at our house. Yumm I love shishkabobs! We had lots of fun, and mom was wonderful and made the dinner and the table it was so beautiful.

Well as it has been many weeks since I wrote. I was able to participate in All-state choir that was fun. I went to Mt. View's Sadie Hawkins dance. I don't have picture of that but Heidi is amazing nonetheless.

I also turned 17! as such I became the proud owner of a Garden gnome. To those who know this has great significance to me. To those who don't ask me later and I will explain. Anywho... meet Nigel my garden gnome.

This summer I have the wonderful opprotunity to be a lifeguard! Woot me and Marille are gonig to have a great time out in Powell Jr. High. Woot!

Metronome..........................D

So music is now comsuming my life! Its truly amazing. On top of being in two choirs struggling to learn music which will performed at a NATIONAL convention, I decided to go and make the regional choir. I'm just kidding I'm so greatful I was able to make the regional choir, and by some stroke of profound luck I was able to make 5th chair! Its going to be so amazing but it is a daunting task to learn all that music. Also I am preparing to go with the Chamber choir to the Jazz/Mad festival in Flagstaff next weekend. Sometimes we have problems keeping time in our songs so Mr. A uses......... THE ALL POWERFUL METRONOME! Which is where we endearingly use the term "Metronome.......D" (Meant to be said in a Strongbad voice.) It's so much fun. Today we got to practice with 2/3 of our rthymn section. Justin our drummer was away but we await his return on Tuesday. All this Jazz makes me really excited. Maybe, when my older brother gets hom off his mission we can get together and do Jazz for wedding receptions or something. Maybe we could even make a CD! The Johnson Brothers present "Beads and a Bare Chest."

Or maybe we could go for something a little more.........................conservative.

Yes...... I guess maybe I should stick with Devon's face for marketing. He's the more photogenic one anywho.

Work, Work, Work!

That seems to be all I'm doing these days. I don't even have tiem to take pictures of it. But I'm not complaining. I working so hard because I am going to be going on a choir trip to Washington DC! I'm really quite excited! I'm also going to be attending a festival in Flagstaff next month which should prove fun. But alas such is my life. And I love it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!

Well New Year's eve was two nights ago, and I had a blast! I got to go on a date with Calli. It was so much fun. We went out to Usary Pass ( I don't know what it is but the part two celebrations have been with Calli out at Usary Pass.) There we had a picnic and went on a hike and sat around the fire with a bunch of our friends!

It was an awesome time. I am really glad I got to be Calli's first date. After the desert we went over to Abby Wells's house for a New Years Celebration. Calli, Michelle, and Leighton seemed to be hitting the glass pretty hard for only 9 o'clock.

Can we all say:

I"M NOT DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry its only Martinelli's. (Everythnig was completely non-alcohlic!). It was all a blast!

We all had so much fun messing around and being together. Stefani Barker got to come down and join in with the festivities! Her and Ashlee got a hold of my camera. I think they had just a little too much fun with it.

At the end of the night we brought in the New Year with a bang! And Calli did the awesomest thing I've ever seen. I guess I should have warned her against it though. Martinelli's is very hard on the stomach

Luckily when we left it was before all the drunks started out on the road so we arrived home safely. It was all good fun.

All in all, it was an amazing night!
