…at least that’s what this blog seems like with how little I post.
Anyways, a life update is long overdue.
Since the last post was, well, last year. We’ll start there.
Christmas and new years were great, my older sister Rebecca came back from Guatemala and then her fiancé drove up shortly after…..fiancé? Yep, she got engaged, while doing what God told her to do(how cool is that.)
To shorten that story up, since most of my readers already know it, the wedding was last saturday. It was a beautiful wedding, and everyone had a great time. And the happy couple are off on their honeymoon.
And with how big the pile of presents is, i'm thinking i should get married sometime soon too, anyone out there want to be my bride? we can split the gifts 50/50 : )
To back up a bit, I shot another wedding that required a bit of driving, a friend in arkansas. That was jan 31st. That wedding went really well as well.
On to the present, I’m still working for FLCC, lots of stuff on my todo list for that one.
Then I occasionally do some support for showit, answering help tickets.
Matt and I are working on developing nameless design, building it into a better company.
On the more personal business front, the byMarkCollins suite of businesses are in desperate need of a overhaul, which is in the works, but moving slowly, since some of the above jobs have to take priority at times.
In the non work area of my life, I’m becoming increasingly in love with music. I’ve been enjoying playing the guitar, at least the assembled ones, the disassembled one is being refinished, or maybe refurbished, whatever the term it’s going to look much nicer than when I got it.
I’m also going to start learning piano soon, I was given a great little 61 key roland keyboard. Which I immediately took apart, and is now sitting on my desk in pieces. It had a few broken keys, new ones are on the way, so it’ll be back together soon. And once I find a power adaptor for it, it’ll be good to go.
Been enjoying playing the drums here and there as well, my set is in the basement so I don’t get down there much, but it's fun when i do.
The other thing is, I’ve been slowly building up my ability to record, my closet is a “vocal booth”, and I’ve been adding new pieces of equipment as the budget allows. This is going to be a great tool, not only for recording my own music, but also the music and songs of people I know, and whoever God brings me into contact with.
My heart is for music that is original and new, and glorifies God.

Mark, I came across your blog on Twitter (I think you followed me not too long ago). I think we definitely have some things in common, especially with regard to our faith and our desire to produce our own music. I'm currently trying to figure out what kind of interface I'm going to use to record. Some of my recordings are available on the right sidebar if you scroll down on my blog's homepage.
You should add some of yours to your site as you get them done.
