my name is marco. i shouldn't have to tell you that because its most likely the first thing you notice but if you didn't, im marco.

im back in laredo. i lived in laredo for a little over 20 continuous years. and then i moved to san marcos and ruined my life (although i made very cool friends and, if for only a while, a very good-looking AND intelligent boyfriend). then i decided to get away from my failure as a student/human/boyfriend and moved to austin for a week and loved it, but was semi-forced to move to lewisville (mostly by my own doing). but im back now and picking up the pieces i missed along the way.

i haven't graduated but plan to do more things than im humanly capable of including, but not limited to: writing, dancing, advertising, public relationing, cooking, hair cutting, and all the while loving...my life.

im single.

im sometimes cute, but usually dont admit it. and even less if someone else tells me. what im REALLY thinking is usually "i look okay" (satisfied head-nodding).

laredo has changed while i've been away so right now im rebuilding my life and making sense of everything i hadn't really had time to think about, while also looking for a job, getting into school (again), looking for love (sorta, but i'd rather it find me), and finally feeling happy and like i actually deserve it.

i cant say im 100% happy to be back (yet). but im slowly finding reasons why im glad i made this decision, most of them being family and friends. it was a hard one but one that i've honestly been contemplating for years now.

im back and, though slightly damaged, better than ever...

yeah.

working hard to pay bills. trying to get back into school to finish. remembering im only 24 years old and not 45 (sometimes i forget). having fun when the situation presents itself.

cheering people up. and sometimes at giving advice, but that one's hit-and-miss. anyone looking for a laugh. hit me up...for real, though.

my smile. its normally the first thing people tell me about. i didn't use to like it but it's grown on me. there's nothing wrong with smiling, anyway.

(a) i used to read nutritional facts on cereal boxes but i dont do that anymore. but i feel like i could be more creative if i picked up a book. i'll get back to you on this one. ALTHOUGH, a collection of poems and such by Robert Frost was a short-lived favorite.

(b) Sister Act 2, Empire Records, Transformers, Strangers with Candy, Edward Scissorhands, Sunshine, Reincarnation, Ghostbusters 2 and others that are equally wonderful. I cried in "Deep Impact" but I dont know why (not a favorite).

(c) all...

(d) just about anything. but i have to try it first, ya know?

family, friends, food, fun, proper attire, whataburger fancy ketchup

1) my personal debt
2) finishing school
3) getting out of my house
4) getting out of laredo
5) what to do with my down time
6) how to make more friends
7) how to fall in love

not doing anything and then eventually wondering why i am not doing anything. i hate staying home but im too lazy to go anywhere and when im not lazy im too shy to do anything by myself. so yeah. but i do like to go out...really.

is that i get my heart broken very easily.

you just want to hang out or even just to talk. and if you want to do it over dinner or a movie, i could be okay with that too. hit me up sometime
