Some video work i have done this summer

Well isn't that just peachy!

It's a new day in the summer of Student Life... we have just started up our 6th camp in Roach, Missouri at Windermere Conference Center and it's absolutely wonderful! It's wearing us all down as the time goes on, but God is gradually building us back up and giving us ample amounts of strength to take on challenges we thought we could not complete. After we finish up here, we are taking a 4 day break where we will go to King's Island and ride the biggest roller coaster, going to see a Red's game, and also trying to go see a movie.. hopefully Wall-E or Get Smart. I hear that both movies are great! So that's our first chance to really chill for extended time as a team and just load up on some fun before another camp.

The afternoon between the last camp and now was one of the most exhilirating days that I have had in a while. It was really a trip. We finished camp 5 around 11 o'clock and sent the kids and staffers on their way then head out to go to lunch with the team. Our group went to Chili's where Brad, Ian, and Gary had a coaster flipping contest. They got up to 23 coasters, it was ridiculous, you had to be there. We then made a quick slide by wal-mart to get a few necessities then head back to Windermere to party on the lake. We got ready and went to the inflatables on the lake and TORE THEM UP. I'm not exaggerating in the least bit here. We are all still sore from running across the slippery moonwalk and busting or faces over and over and over and over again. This kept us laughing hysterically at all the flips and busts of our clearly vulnerable running and screaming across the inflatable bridge. It was a fantastic 2 hours on the water and I have the sore thighs to prove it. Afterwards we all ate dinner as a team, and Adam prepared the meal. Adam went to a stinking culinary school and just owned some pots and pans.. and our mouths for that matter. Dinner consisted of chicken cordin bleu stuffed with ham and cheese, chicken linguine alfredo with spinach leaves, roasted red potatoes, koos koos, grilled squash and zucchini, carmelized carrots, and for dessert a cup full of cinnamon cookies, pudding, mango, and angel food cake. Amazing? yeah... you should be incredibly jealous.

After our crazy day of freedom we settled down and had some team time together and just talked about our thoughts of the summer and what we enjoyed, and thought we could improve on. Then we kind of seperated out and washed each others feet, fed each other bread with honey, joined in communion together, and just encouraged one another throughout the evening. It was much needed, and I loved that time we all spent together.

We are almost to our halfway mark. It's really not close to being done and somehow I cannot imagine that. But as always, your prayers are needed as the summer goes on and we continue to witness and live our lives for God in front of thousands of students. I love you all and hope to see you soon! Mom and Dad, and the girls. Emily I miss and love you with my whole heart!

Throw it under-handed!

Don't be a Texas Tammy

I am listening to War of Ages on my old iPod... yes i said old. I purchased a new one along with a sweet neoprene case because my old one is circling the drain. I finally have my computer back after a couple days of repair. A new hard drive, optical drive, and OS update later I have my mac back and in working order... of course I had to completely start over cause my hard drive was wiped. But after that long disappointment I recovered my music and a few other items.... now I just need the rest of my apps. Computer talk aside, we are now in San Angelo, TX and if you don't know where that is... I don't blame you. We are about 3 hours west of the Houston/Austin line. Camp here is going great so far. It's hot as heck here and freezing cold inside of the worship center area where we spend most of our days, so there is no happy medium. And now it's almost time for student showcase where the students are showing off their odd talents... some of which are... well I mean it's still entertaining to listen/watch. I don't know what everyone wants to know about what's going on... so I leave you with a picture!

Flippity flappity fling flong,

Christ is not a fashion, fleeting away.

A) I want ^that^ tattooed on me somewhere

B) Emily is gone again :( 

C) I'm listening to Muse

4) I need headache/heartburn medicine

G) I need escape

So it's the 3rd week of camp and it has been getting rougher/smoother in different and same locations. We are about to head out from Covenant and on to Angelo State in Texas and start a brand new camp. I'm learning certain new things about ins and outs of the technical world. I've been doing my basic video editing and shooting on random days. It's time for a little variety. Even though I am not the most excited about having to load-out/load-in all over again, it's going to be a great adventure. It would be really awesome if we could have camp in like... Jamaica.

I've been really craving to head back to Auburn for some reason. I wanna do shows, and be with my friends while we smoke a good cigar and eat a great burger at Niffer's. I wanna have my apartment back. At the moment I'm not really sure why. I love the people that I am working with. This may be my first real moment of being homesick. It's my first summer in Limbo. By that I mean now that I'm in college I don't have a permanent home any longer. So I am sick for a home that has no existence, and it's awesome.

We have about a half hour until worship and the band is practicing. I hope that everyone who reads this is doing well. I encourage you to invite more people to read as you see fit. Also If I can muster up the courage maybe there will be a poem or two in the future, or maybe a little gibberish. 

Saddle up your horses,

So we are now starting our second week of camp and it has been going great. It's a great big God driven hassle and blessing all in one huge package. I really can't wait to get moving even to the different locations while it's going to be a big effort... I'm still very excited. They got me runnin family group meetings and such as long as Pro Presenter on the computer in back with the video guy Phil. I've been filming kids arriving and registration and recreation among other things. It has been a really long week getting everything for services prepared so we no longer have to organize cause it's all there. The set up is great back here and hopefully some of you (for the very few who read this) will be seeing it.

God is doing a new molding of my heart. He's moving in a great deal of change. I've been taking things rough cause I guess I'm worn out easily or something, but either way I'm trying as hard as I can to run through it and take down the challenges like a trooper. I miss everyone really bad TRUST ME. But I have an amazing new group of friends to keep me sane until the day comes when I can see you again.

I'm really excited about the times to come and even ready for school to start back up. So keep me in your prayers as I travel and continue working to further the kingdom of God.

Viva la Vida,

1950's Bible Drill (Would be a cool name for a band)

I'm finally done with training week at Student Life Camp. We are in less than 2 hours planning to head out to Covenant College near Lookout Mountain in GA. We'll be there for a total of 3 sessions roughly 2 and 1/2 weeks. It's been a tedious process to get to this point. Lots of meetings, getting to know YOU sessions, learning/teaching times, and sleep have been a pertinent part of our preparation. I'm ready to go and start camp with the Blue Team, and discover what God has planned for me to learn and experience. I'm so ready to see what impact I will have and what He uses me for along the way. I'm going to learn so much, and there is nothing stopping me from being joyful.

One thing that I've noticed during our session is how people in this field are generally so passionate about what they do. The amount of work and effort that is devoted into every little thing is quite astounding as day by day we work to further the kingdom of God. I hope that in every way that my joy is increased 10-fold. I pray and thank God for the passions of everyone on the team and the universal desire of us all to bring Him glory through everything we do. It's exciting. You know you wish you could experience it.

I'm sad to say that even though I have managed to snap a few pictures, that I have not brought my camera usb cord with me so no pictures with my entries until my parents bring me that at Covenant. But no worries there will be lovely ones once I can get into that photo mode. Get excited, you can even pee yourself a little if you like. I love you all!

Brad is satisfactorily satisfied,

I Love Mary, Blind Mary marry me.

It's been such a long time since a felt I should update this array of disorganized thoughts. I find myself awake at about 2:30 in the morning contemplating my summer and all it will entail. What am I going to do with myself when I have to meet brand new people and spend roughly 2 months with them and stressful but amazing circumstances? My general freedom is coming to an end. The stress free days of GTA IV and World of Warcraft are coming to a close as I prepare to go on a journey. God is grasping my heart and trying to wrench out the cynicism and blindness that has been dragging me deeper and deeper. I hate that I feel so unmotivated to be. I know that He will without a doubt be filling every corner of my soul if I will just let Him reside there and be conscious of the fact. I'm abandoning my old learned habits for His. I need a mass of prayer. It's all so difficult when I feel in a state of limbo. I have no permanent home. College consumes a different part of my life that comes with a lot of hard work. I can't decide what I'm going to do with all of my random technical skills and passions. I am adrift in a sea of great imagination and wonder and confusion. He will guide me. My trust is in Him. I love you Lord, and I want what you want.

On a less insane path of thoughts, Student Life approaches. I'm ready to head off to different states and work with students all over the place. It's scary, but more like the fright you build up as the roller coaster makes it's way to the top of the hill. The final click is about to release me into a whirl of twists, turns, and barrel rolls of God knows what. And He does.... REALLY know. I want to write poetry again, music, song. What do you think?

I was very pleased to get to spend a week with my sweetheart Emily in H-Ville. We ate great food, spent time with caring family. All over it was a good way to spend part of my free summer getting to know more about those I love. I am overflowing with great joy and happiness because of it. Even amidst all of this great concern for my life, It is well with my soul. I love you all.

I got Tier 4 shoulders!

They Say the Meek Shall Inherit

So I apologize for not updating this thing in a little while. I don't know who would be too concerned but I am now finding time to update this while I'm currently in a class not really getting any work done. It has been a stressful couple of weeks and Little Shop of Horrors have been going fantastic. As soon as we got back from spring break we began working on the set and got that sucker alive and moving. I suffered a couple of minor injuries such as a slip from a power drill onto my thumb, a nick from a table saw on the same thumb, and a giant piece of brick face falling and cutting me across my cheek. But I'm healing and the show opened last week and so far it has been an exciting run. We only have four more performances to go out of ten and it's going to be a great stress relief when it's over. The semester is nearly over and HOPEFULLY I will not get a D in Theatre History II so I can actually audition for shows next semester and feel like I'm doing something. Also, student life starts up on the 25th of May for me and I will be gone all summer ministering to thousands and thousands of students.... just keep me in your prayers if at all possible. It's a very hardcore last couple of weeks.

If you face plant, can a laugh a little out loud before I get up to help you?

p.s. I pre-ordered the new Showbread CD heehee

I'm Home: What more could you ask for?

We finally made it back. The other days were not so interesting trust me but also believe me when I say that my week was plenty full. We got back around 2 this afternoon and I grabbed some new cables to see if we couldn't get my xbox to work. It did. I now do not feel so distressed besides the fact that school is back on Monday and I have to get back to work (shoot me). We took a trip to Olive Garden tonight because apparently I have a monthly period that can only be satisfied by such as that. It was scrumptious. Me, Chris, and David watched The Last Samurai at my house.... mostly me and Chris. David likes to sit on his computer and not pay attention, maybe he's multitasking... I could kill him, maybe he will read this... probably. It's just sometimes I consider certain things sacred to the world like art of any kind. Theater, Music, Film, & Photography I put in this category. I believe that you should respect these all as such being works of art that people have poured out blood and sweat and passion into. Maybe it's just getting late but don't worry their won't be any David killing. Gnarls Barkley is amazing if I haven't mentioned, who's ready for schooling?

Day Six: We've Been Inside all Day

Well we haven't done much of anything all day. We woke up really around 10 as usual and rolled around the beds for a while and then finally got up and sat around with our computers for a while. We watched Independence Day and The Thin Red Line, and The Mask. We almost tried to get out of the house once by going down the strip to see if we could find some cheap food, and then maybe get some Starbucks. That didn't work out at all. We ended up with tacos at the condo which were way better anyhow. Second, we tried the hot tub by the pool but some old guy came out and told us it was closed....lame. Now we sit out on the balcony still on our computers trying to make this a complete day by being outside for at least a combined couple of hours. We've gotten a bit cranky throughout the week and it we are slowly getting catty with one another. But at the end of the day we all still can sit back and say "You know I love you man?" and everything is settled in the sand. We still have 2 more days to spend doing what we please. What in the world are we going to do with ourselves? And now by popular demand, tonight's sincerely.

Day Five: Buttered Biscuits/PC Strip/A Good Cigar

I woke up this morning with Pico the chihuahua licking my face as I rolled over on the fold out couch bed. We had some buttered biscuits and bacon the slid on our bathing suits and headed out to the ocean. It was freezing of course so we admittedly didn't spend much time in it but snapped a couple of pictures before we left then headed to the pool which was a little less cold than last night. We spent some time there just swimming and talking about this and that. We jogged back up to the room and had some sandwiches while we searched the inter-highway for random things and got in the car headed down the PC strip for something to do. We realized that all the shortest guys of the group of spring breakers had their shirts off to compensate for their short coming.. ha! We stopped by a cigar shop and picked up a couple of good ole CAO's and went further down the strip. We got out at a sidewalk mall area and surfed around there for a little bit then went to the movie theater and saw the bank job. I HIGHLY recommend that movie it was quite good, with Jason Statham and a couple of other British dudes. We went to our traditional Tuesday night Buffalo Wild Wings and devoured each our share of superbly flavored chicken wings and potato wedges. We got some starbucks then headed back to the condo to grab our cigars. It has been really windy all stinking week and we fought it clear down the beach as we puffed on our neatly wrapped tobacco leaves. I had an american CAO one of my personal favorites and we walked along and discussed church and girlfriends and simple secrets as we've been trying to connect on a deeper level all week. We then laid out on a perfectly crafted square of grass off of one of the boardwalks and just contemplated the stars and moon in all of it's infinite vastness. We're now back in the condo and finally relaxed once more in our haven of interior design feng shui. I bought the new Gnarls Barkley cd off of iTunes... get it now and you will thank me.

It's a day-spa you fart,
Marcus C.

Day Four: Long Walks in sand/Crab Claws/Million Dollar Aspiration

Well our time out in the country has come to a close and we had to leave the smell of gunpowder and high growing grass (whatever THAT smells like). We grabbed a couple blueberry muffins and a piece of cinnamon toast and headed out the door. Listened to a bit of Lewis Black, and the entire Jim Gaffigan CD. Both are great comedians, highly recommended, though Black is a teensy bit profane (teensy is an understatement). Either way we ended up down here in no time and found the condo among many of other beautiful houses along the strip. We unpacked and got right back on the road on a quest to find a target. We grabbed some drinks and a component cable for my xbox, we couldn't get it to work. Then we headed back to try and fix the xbox problem and turns out that my xbox is broken and something is loose in the video connector and it won't work... brilliant. Of course no one else wanted to volunteer and bring their xbox and it just sat inside the trunk of the car for 4 days with nothing protecting it. If I could show you my irritated face, you would understand my frustration. We headed to the crab house to get some crab claws and fried calamari for dinner.. finger-licking good. Later on we took a walk down the beach and Fro showed us the place where his aunt works where there were tons of gorgeous (ungodly expensive) beach houses all totally unique with fountains and gardens and courtyards that they could do with as they saw fit. We now all aspire to own one of those million dollar condos one day. A quick stop in the freezing cold pool and then the hot tub then we headed back inside to finally unwind and get ready to pass out.

Yes... I am a genius,
Marcus C.

Day Three: Martin/Rambo/Open Field

We got up early this morning for sausage biscuits and milk, we got ready then headed outside to set up the Martin house since the concrete had dried then we hung the actual bird houses on the pole. After a job well done we proceeded to the opposite side of the dock to set up targets and tiles and wooden blocks. Then we headed back up to the dock and got locked and loaded. We started out with some 22 rifles which I have never shot before. Had a silenced 22 and a Ruger with a silencer as well which was a lot of fun to shoot. Then Chris's dad pulled out the SKS Semi-Auto rifle and destroyed the hillside with bullets... quite a loud gun. We also shot a WWII M1 Garand, and a Russian Mosin Nagant. These are all incredibly loud guns that could make you crap yourself if you weren't paying attention. We also shot a 9mm handgun which was pretty powerful and entertaining. We shot around a thousand rounds between the 4 of us...my ears are still ringing. Here's a video of me shooting the Nagant.

Hit me with your best shot,
Marcus C.

Day Two: Cowpies/4 Second Swim/Gumbo/Rambo

I awoke this morning with such ease as I rolled out of my comfy air mattress to wolf down a breakfast of pancakes, sausage, turkey bacon, and coffee. We then proceeded down the road to pick up a manual jeep wrangler (super exciting for me) to go riding through the fields in as well as the 4-wheeler. We took all the vehicles to a big field and just rode around for 2 or so hours and even got a little cow crap on my feet. Hooray for sandals! After that we headed back to the house for some lunch sandwiches and about a four second dip in the pool that was like swimming in a glass of ice water. Afterwards me, David, and Zack went exploring on some trail behind the house and found another huge field to ride around in for a while. At the end of the day we went to the big house and had some sunflower seeds and root beer, threw the football, then ate some of the best gumbo I've had in a long time (yes the best is still at Doc's Oyster Bar in Orange Beach). Now we've loaded up all the magazines for the ungodly amount of weaponry we have including silenced weapons, tomorrow we shoot.

Day One: I am "Eat Your Heart with a Spoon"/Pole for martin houses

We have set out on an adventure for the great beyond, or whatever you may call it. Me, Chris, Zack, and David have left the complicated stressful life of Auburn and headed south of Montgomery to Chris's grandparents house to start off our Spring Break. We left as soon as humanly possible and arrived only an hour and a half or so later on. We walked out amongst the slightly more wildernessly land and took a good deep breath as we finally received a chance to relax. But then we were put right to work with a task that we thought was supposed to take all day long, but only ended up taking about an hour. We took to some shovels and dug up a pole for martin houses and moved it up the front with complete ease. Afterwards we enjoyed a wonderful dinner of pizza with a little bit of diet coke and it was simply scrumptious. We are now chilling on the big leather couch in the living room after having watched Dances with Wolves.. I've never seen it.... fantastic movie. So this just day one of what is bound to be an amazing adventure... we'll talk later on.

We need nicknames,
Marcus C.

Let's Get Something Straight Here

This past weekend I went home to attend semi-formal with Emily. We ate at the Tavern and i had a sandwich, but apparently protocol there is to make sure each person gets at least a pound of fries. It was wonderful! We also danced the night away and I definitely got jiggy with it, and I'm not embarrassed to say it. The next night I escorted Emily to Brio and then the UAB music center where we enjoyed Pirates of Penzance. So the weekend seemed like on really long day and I got to spend time with my love :-)..... awwww how sweet.

I don't know who all has heard of the death of one of Auburn's students Lauren Burk, but it has been all over the news the recent months. She was found shot in the middle of College Street and taken to the hospital but died only a little while afterwards. The man convicted of the murder has just confessed everything from trying to rob her and then shooting her, as well as burning her car on campus. I had a couple friends who knew her and had said what a great, loving friend she was to all of them and how sad it was that someone could do that.

To make things more exciting the Westboro Baptist Church folks from Topeka, KS decided they were going to show up and protest her funeral at the university the day after they attempted to disrupt the funeral in her hometown in Marietta, GA. If you aren't familiar with this group it is a small, and close-knit church consisting of a little under 100 members, 80% of which is mostly one family, the Phelps. In a nutshell they go around preaching hate and damnation to all of America by disrupting the funeral's of dead soldiers and once holocaust museum by saying that America is already too corrupt and is beyond saving because we do not obey the Lord and we are all fag-supporting sinners. I'm just as set on being as loving as the next Christ-following brother or sister, but this just really pisses me off. They use the bible completely out of context and focus only on God's wrath rather than his love or words speaking of how He does not come to condemn the world, but to save it. And He DOES love everyone, and no grace is NOT an excuse to sin. But these people are brainwashed and filled with evil intentions because they have been blinded by the direction of their pastor, namely their grandfather. Try and remember to pray for this people that they may see the true light, and experience the love of God rather than his wrath and God softens their hard hearts.

Well since that obviously them coming to disrupt our fellow student's funeral, this did not sit too well with the southern mindsets of those who occupy this fine university. Either way we gathered together on Samford lawn to await their arrival and hopefully block them off from disrupting anyone trying to grieve or celebrate the life of Lauren Burk. It was organized surprisingly well and we were ready to stop them from disrupting anyone, but they never showed up thank God and that's all I have to say on the matter.

Slap-on bracelets are cool,
Marcus C.

No Mr. Bond, It is you who has lost.

So the days continue and roll past rather quickly (thank God). I find myself becoming less stressed out over the period of these weeks when it doesn't seem so difficult. Unfortunately it's about to be that way again. Oh bring me a spring break of guns, 4-wheelers, sands, salt water, and complete freedom. Oh how glorious it will be.

This past weekend I had an audition at the Student Life offices for All Things to All People, which I may have mentioned in my last post. Early in the morning I arose oh so calmly getting ready at my own pace to end up there at around 12:20 for my 12:40 interview. Little did I know that i was off by about an hour and twenty minutes and i was supposed to be there at 11:20. Luckily they are forgiving and Mr. Ireland interviewed me and that seemed to go over well. Another discovery of the way I handle myself became very evident and confidence overwhelmed me that day. I have never auditioned monologues smoother than that. I have never felt more confident in responding to interview questions. It went amazing along with the fact that all the other auditioneers were so awesome to meet and work with for the afternoon. So now I am simply waiting on my letter of yes, no, or maybe. And it's driving me absolutely insane waiting outside next to the mailbox.

So I await the day, and also my zambooie t-shirts including my Piglet Will Eat You shirt... :-) Semi-formal, opera's and dinner with Emily is coming along with the weekend package so I'm excited. Then my beloved spring break of all the things listed far above will occur and my life will be complete. So to all of you who were praying keep doing that thing cause it works! Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for me and the SL ministry. I miss every single one of you.

Allow me to introduce myself,
Marcus C.

Goodmorning Starshine! The Earth says hello!

I haven't updated this thing in quite some time now. I have been doing the college thing and trying not to let it defeat me although sometimes this can be rather difficult.

I attended show choir competitions these past two weekends to watch my old high school kick everyone else tail! Craftsmen as always have lived up to par and entertained as well as given a good laugh for those in good humor. This year they had a Star Trek themed show with Daniel Brasher opening with "Space, the final frontier"... and it just continued getting better from there. Chanter, the women's choir, stepped it up and really showed they were capable of breaking it down. Con Brio, my choir, totally rocked it this year with Sway with Me, Rock This Town, Oo Be Do, and was accompanied with lots of amazing choreography. Unfortunately, They didn't place at either competition but was truly impressed with their work this year. (this part of the post I updated on the 12th)

So Valentines Day has passed and I made dinner for Ems and we watched Across the Universe. I now have a new found love for the Beatles and their musical stylings. It's one of those mornings where I'm not sure that any REAL work is going to be completed by the time the sun drops over the horizon. For example, I was going to ride my bike down here to the theater for class like yesterday (even though I almost died of a heart attack), but I wasn't in a hurry, and it was kind of cold. You will find my reasoning works out using the Scientific Method.

For this summer I am applying to Student Life All Things to All People drama team. I am extremely excited to say that if I get the job I will be touring around the Southeast doing stage work and working with students in high school. It's such an opportunity just to audition for a chance to be able to work with such a great, God-loving group of people. Pray for me as this approaches.

Let me tell you that I'm absolutely not sure what's next for this day. It's exciting. I may even chop off all of my hair... thats truly exhilarating. It's most likely great because my hair is driving me through a freaking wall. Not up or down or around the wall, but through it.

I'm riding naked on horseback through the galaxy with Sting,

Whether the Weather is Cold....

It's not likely for it to snow in the south...... ever. So today when I woke up and finally went outside at around 10:30 it began to snow and it was glorious. Heavy, HEAVY snow began to cover the ground and it was absolutely a sight for sore eyes as some may put it. Me and Chris shuffled around campus in the cold weather and eventually ended up in front of Samford Hall with everyone else taking pictures, building snowmen, pelting each other with snowballs. For once in a while internally I truly felt really good about something even though I had no feeling in my toes.

I am not excited about all of the work I already have to take care of. None of the places I really want to work are hiring, and I could use the extra money. At this point I just feel very complacent and apathetic and it's really getting to me. God is working in my heart and he knows, that I know He's the only way to be truly free from all of this. As we get settled back into all of this schooling, and work, just remind yourself everyday that it's for him we work and play and laugh and cry. So there is no apathy behind a heart that seeks after him.

"In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name." Psalm 33:21

Let's get coffee,
Marcus C.

What is it that you want from me?

And so I return to this beloved thing to update you on the many happenings of my life as of late. Christmas is now over sadly, but I received an amazing pea coat, leather fossil watch, and xbox 360 I have wanted for a while. WOOT! merry christmas to me. Since last time I have watched football, spent time with emily having so much fun eating at p.f. changs and macaroni grill and enjoying new years. I've played apples to apples, received a ticket for shooting a 12 gauge shotgun, smoked some good cigars, played call of duty 4 and guitar hero, watched scrubs and the office, and got a stinkin tattoo on the inside of my wrist....

I don't know why some people read blogs, and I sure hope people don't mind me blabbing on about myself. But I have found lately that I must own up to what I am responsible for in my life. I feel that I need not a list of new years resolutions to complete but still a set of accomplishments that need to be finished once I get back to Auburn. I am a little Auburn-sick if there is such a thing, and am ready to return and finish up some schooling action. I also need to study my bible hardcore style and drop the apathetic crap. Yes, crap it is indeed when I don't do what God intended. So, pray for me as I return to school and keep on thinking and researching into what I want to do with my life thus far. God has a plan I know, and all of your prayers are greatly appreciated.

I have permanent ink on the inside of my arm,

Marcus C.
