Some Info On Mark:

Mark (Markus Allan Hoppus is his full-name),was born in March 15, 1972, (sorry,his place of birth is still unknown to me,but not for long !…). He attended Burroughs High School in Ridgecrest, California. Mark's father's name is Tex, his mother's name is Carrie, and his younger sister is Anne (Anne Hoppus is currently dating Damon from Fenix TX…). He is the bassist and the vocalist of the group, and also the one who appeared on-stage nude, at MTV's Castaway Countdown, during the band's performance of "What's My Age Again? ", and as if that wasn’t enough, he appeared on-stage nude, again, at KROQ's 1999 Weenie Roast. But these are not the only things he does on stage: at a show in Boston, he took an inflatable sheep, shoved a drum stick up it's ass, and tossed it into the crowd (how cute of him…). And unfortunately for all the Blink-fans in Europe, (including me…), he says that he hates playing any tours in Europe…(I don’t wanna talk about that anymore…it brings me tears…). But despite all of that, Mark is an incredible song-writer: he wrote "Dammit" in just 5 minutes, about a break-up that never actually happened, "Going away to college" on Valentine's Day after watching can't hardly wait, and "Adam’s Song" was inspired from a magasine he read about a boy that commited suicide… He has no tatoos in his body, but he has an ear-ring in his left eye (so do I !!!) and a piercing in his nipple (wich I haven’t…thank God…)…He has a wife, called Skye Everly (you can hear him say her name in "What’s My Age Again" in the "Mark ,Tom And Travis Show"… At every Blink show, Mark writes a diffrent message on his speaker with white duct tape. Anything from "Hi Mom!" to "I have no idea where I am". Once he even wrote a message to Sky after they had been fighting over who loved the other more. He wrote "I love you More". Skye works at MTV doing various jobs… Ok, now about his preferences : Mark's hero of all time is none other than Homer J. Simpson. His favourite bands are "Jimmy Eat World" , "Riverfenix" and "Get Up Kids"… His favourite movie is "Caddyshack", but he also thinks that Walt Disney’s movies are great… His band nickname is "Fish Guts", (I wonder why ?…). He actually resides in Carmel Mountain Ranch, California.
