Mark, you’re always a busy
guy.

current projects.
I'm currently rehearsing a
new band,
we've yet to pick a band
name or decide on songs,
but it's promising.
What else?
I’ve been writing an autobiographical comic book,
“Therapeutic Narcissism”,
as a way of exploring
self-deprecating concepts
in my attempt to come to
terms with the divine banality of life.
I have a couple pages left to finish before I publish it.

Yes.

your daily life?
