So, I was trolling around late last night, looking for a local grocery store that was open 24 hours, only after a thorough survey of all of them within a 5 mile radius (well… okey, maybe not that thorough), I discovered that they all closed by like 11pm or midnight, and this was about 1am….

Mark is easily distracted and seems not to require sleep. However, this is an illusion. He is mortal, like you. Perhaps doubly so. He makes videos and a little bit of art and design. He also watches way too many movies and jokes around on Twitter.
