It's Easier to Think

I am Mark Meneses, the Miami breed.
I hum music with my words, and my fingers follow soon after.
Sometimes I whisper; sometimes I become a news anchor.
Creation, appreciation, & apprehension.
Watch my footprint gain depth in the sand.

Everything I post on here is original unless otherwise noted or cited, including poetry, images, and videos. Opinions, however, are all mine mine mine.

Haley’s wish list? Yeah. She was there for a full minute before I snapped this. Sometimes I reconsider the potential jewelry and clothes that I might buy this girl - at least I don’t need to pay a mortgage for a princess playhouse.

Obligatory snapshot of my happiness. Back in Tallahassee for the weekend. I love you, Haley Cove.

I celebrated my 19th birthday on Friday and Saturday with some of my close friends. No photos were taken on Friday, but the memories stick like macaroni on paste. As for Saturday, it was a birthday story that can only be told in the words of the eyes. Enjoy the tale above, and thank you to all my friends who made my birthday so great (especially the ones who have done it again).

Credit goes to Lauren Henschel, a friend of mine who really seems to know what she’s doing behind the camera lens (unlike everyone else who runs out and buys a camera for the sake of having a camera).

That’s Haley and me. We almost got hit by a train that daybut it’s cool, we got some sweet photos. Check out the rest of the set.

I Have No Doctor’s Note, But…

In a whirlwind of finals, work, keeping up with my social life (or the ruins of it), and finals (yes, twice), I seemed to have lost track of my blog posts. Well, let me just pump some life back into this URL…

I will be back this week to update with some original pieces of prose, some poetry, and maybe an attempt or two at being what I like to call “ha-ha”, i.e. humorous. For now, though, allow me to recap some of the things going on in the past couple of weeks.

As it turns out, I’ve finally managed to save a reasonable amount of money to buy my new guitar this week. After that and some Christmas shopping, though, I’m sure my wallet is going to be starving. But here is a reintroduction to my soon-to-be baby.

In a more poetic key, two of my poems were accepted into the Spring issue of P’an Ku, my school’s literary magazine. (I’ll repost the link once the new issue is up, but check out the Fall issue that’s currently out in the meantime—it’s pretty good!) I’m eager to see how the page layouts are going to look like.

Now, on a personal level, I’d like to dedicate this part of the post to my girlfriend Haley and congratulate her on getting into Florida State University for the Summer term for musical theater! She’s going to be doing great things, so keep an ear and eye out. Or your entire face. Just keep your entire face out for her.

To whoever reads this blog: I’m sorry my posts have been dwindling, but that is soon to change as I promise to start posting more frequently. Look out for album reviews. Movie reviews. Book reviews. Personal writing pieces. And check out my workplace’s blog, where I also update and write about music and instruments: Live! Modern School of Music Blog.
