Fri­day after­noon I will make my way to Lambert-St. Louis air­port for the start of my spring break! After a lay­over flight in Min­neapo­lis (gotta love cheap flights) I’ll stay overnight in Omaha, NE. I’ll be off with CP extremely early the next morn­ing en route to Des Moines, IA for a full day of work. The next day I’ll be in Lin­coln, NE for a day. The fol­low­ing day I’m on to catch­ing a flight from Omaha to Philadel­phia… with another lay­over in Min­neapo­lis, of course. I’ve got a day at home in Jer­sey (of which I’ll be spend­ing catch­ing up with peo­ple) and then I’m off to upstate NY for a nice vaca­tion at Nia­gara Falls and the sur­round­ing area Bal­ti­more, Mary­land with my lovely girlfriend.

I will end up back home to spend Easter Sun­day with fam­ily. The next morn­ing, I’m dri­ving my girl­friend back to her cam­pus in Penn­syl­va­nia fol­lowed by the 3-hour lonely drive back to Jer­sey early that after­noon. The next morn­ing I have a flight from Philadel­phia (this time a Detroit lay­over) to St. Louis. I’ll get back to Greenville late that evening only to go back to class the next morn­ing at 8:30. My spring break will span nine states, four of which I’ve never been before. Although I’ll have a pretty busy break, it couldn’t be com­ing at a bet­ter time… I can’t wait.

My apolo­gies for not updat­ing more often. I wish I could say what’s going on with Cast­ing Pearls, but I can say that it’s really excit­ing and every­one will know soon. Here’s a fun new CP song that’s cur­rently avail­able on the Live from Wichita EP, how­ever this mix is the final mas­tered ver­sion. The ver­sion on the EP and MySpace is the early rough ver­sion. Enjoy!

“Be Mine“
writ­ten by Bryan Ole­sen, Case Maranville, and Scott Rutz
per­formed by Cast­ing Pearls

Here ye, here ye, your atten­tion please (here we go)
10, 9, 8, sev-en, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
I hereby declare I’m on my knees
And I’m crazy in love, crazy in love with you

How did I live life before
You took over my heart
Noth­ing in life I want more
To be in your arms

These four words I’ve got to say to you
Please hear me now

Be mine for life…
