Nicknames:Marcus Money, Marky (only my mom calls me that!)
Age:12
Email:makingitbig@gmail.com
AIM:marcu$
Website:www.mackenzieblue.com
Activities:piano, soccer, DJing, collecting sneakers
Interests: Crunching numbers and following the stock market. I’ve been reading the Wall Street Journal in the morning with my dad since I was 7!
Favorite Music:

I like it all. Classical, punk, hip-hop, electronica, rock, emo…even reggae. I love perusing MySpace music for new artists that aren’t mainstream (I’ve been listening to Fall Out Boy since I was 6 — before they went big time!), but you’ll catch me listening to anything from Lady Gaga and Jason Mraz to Katy Perry and Plain White T’s. I also love how Kanye West always keeps it fresh.

Favorite TV Shows:

The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch — I’ll be on there some day! I also like Drake and Josh and True Jackson, VP (Keep that on the down-low though. I don’t want my buddies to know I actually like watching those!)

 

Favorite Movies:

Will Smith movies rock. Hitch just might be the best movie ever — although Hancock was awesome too, and Men in Black is such a classic!

 

Favorite Books:

I sometimes browse my dad’s accounting text books (I know, nerdy, right?). I also love financial magazines, from Forbes to The Economist. R.L. Stein’s Goosebumps books are always fun. And I’m kind of a Harry Potter nerd (I have a secret crush on Hermione… Ron’s so lucky!)

 

Favorite Quotes: “Life is what you make it.” I want to have fun and enjoy my friends and family.
About Me: I’m a pretty easygoing guy. I have a big family (4 siblings!), so I’m used to being around a lot of people. I love music, and whether I’m working on a classical composition or DJing, it’s always about passion. I hope to work for my dad one day at his accounting firm, although I have to find a way to pursue music, too. I love mixing all types of sounds, and I love it when my friends dance to my music. I like to play soccer in my free time, too. That’s pretty much it. Oh, no serious girlfriend stuff yet. I’ve never had one, although I think I might like this girl Jen from school. We’ll see…
