It's no surprise women want to be his and men want to be him as he is a charming and dashing young man with natural charisma.

At one point, Marcos finds himself in San Diego to partake in the celebration of Sea World's grand opening.

Book of Contests (2024)

1,961 177 146

To keep myself from losing track of:all the contests I've entered, all the contests I've volunteered myself as a judge (or let myself be voluntold into judging), all the books I've had to read as a contestant or as a judge, all the deadlines, and all the other important stuff,I've decided to create a book that registers all these things in a somewhat organized fashion. I can't remember who advised me to do that, but whoever you are, and there are probably several of you, thank you.I've been reading that it's extremely common for contests to be a bit sluggish with follow-up if a person wins a major prize and gets graphics and shout-outs, so if I actually manage to win anything at all, I'll use this book to keep track of that, too, so I can maybe tweak my book covers to reflect contests won or something. I had no idea so many people would be adding my personal convenience book to their own bookshelves, let alone voting for chapters - if my book of contests is useful to other people, that makes me happy. Very happy.I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY CONTENT BEING USED TO TRAIN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE…
