After rounding the world four times and getting the piercings, but only having three earrings to show for it because he's too picky about what he'll actually put back in his ear, Mark attempted to settle down back in his hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. This, of course, did not happen because, quite apparently, he has been biologically implanted with a PsychoMagnetâ„¢ which makes even the most stable of people batshit crazy. Mark is currently "hiding" in wildly public places, and making as much noise as possible, while throngs of anonymous nutjobs accuse him of every salacious deed imaginable, such as the unseasonable rainfall of 2011, the murders of several prominent people who are still very much alive, and the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania. Mark is a carnivorous smoker who is Politically agnostic, unable to reproduce, refuses all manners of Internet dating, and generally believes that Murphy was an optimist.

Teenaged girls are bad for drama, it’s true. Teenaged boys are just as bad…

Most of time, it can be handled with extreme sarcasm.

"Dad there's a moth on the outside of the bathroom door can you get rid of it? Pls hurry because I'm going to cry. Dad. Dad." "Dad is dead. You're next. Love, moth."

As if AOL’s voice screaming, “You’ve got mail!” wasn’t bad enough, these days we’re often annoyed by persistent icons displaying the number of messages we haven’t read yet. Depending on the piece of software, however, this number may be completely incorrect, showing at least one unread message when you’ve already done a, “Mark All as Read.”

Doesn’t bother me.

I ate at Panda Garden last night, which has a picture of a Koala on its sign. Around the corner from them is a “Christan” book store, which had “Fifty Shades of Grey” proudly displayed in the window. Just up from there was the Mattress Outlet, which only sold waterbeds.

Strip malls are always bizarre…

Animal Hospital beside a Chinese Restaurant? That's suspicious...

Something to Remember When Time Travelling

Major technological advances are to be expected from decade to decade, and that’s a fact. But when we set expectations for our future, people never take into account social change; they simply use their current culture and attitude as a baseline for “how things will be.” Someone from the nineteen fifties who travelled to the here-and-now would certainly be shot down to realize that despite all the keen gadgets we have today, most people are just wet rags…

Q: If someone from the 1950s suddenly appeared today, what would be the most difficult thing to explain to them about life today?  A: I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.  I use it to look at pictures of cats and get in arguments with strangers.

The adolescent phone snickered for hours when the elder cellphone told him about his great-great-grandfather’s massive crank…
