My name is Mark. I live 797 miles away from my home. Almost 1 year ago I moved from Chicago, where I spent the first 22 years of my life, to New York City.

This blog is a chronicle of my attempts to communicate over such a vast expanse of space. So many different sounds build each other up and break each other down when you deal with such different places and such different people.

I invite you, openly, to interact with me. To tell me I’m wrong. That I’m right. That you love something. That you hate something. That you’re more interested in something. Comment, e-mail me, call me up. Interact. The closer we get to each other the less destructive interference will exist.
