I had a friend a bit similar, we were neighbors for just a year but became best friends. Even spending 16 consecutive nights together during winter break. I went to visit him and his family about a year ago in California; which was my first trip alone as well. Sadly, we had a very unfortunate falling out that still rubs me wrong as the conflict wasn’t really between us two. I miss him and I miss having friends in general. I’m 19 now and your stories help me and make me laugh thank you!
So glad you enjoyed my story Jesus but I am sad for you that you and your friend had a falling out. Richard and I still remained friends for years but after awhile the only thing we had in common was our history as we both took very different paths through life. He passed away in 2009 from lung cancer but I was so glad we stayed friends right up until he passed. I hope you re-connect with your friend Jesus, life goes far too fast not to keep in touch. Thanks for tuning in my friend....:)
@@auralfixatedasmr8647 Hello, I appreciate everything you do; all your videos and your thoughtful replies friend. He was a great friend but it feels like the line has been drawn, ya know? You’ve given me something to think about as far as all of my relationships. Thank you sir. My name is Brandon btw. All the best!
@@jesusisking9744 Just want to say I love the positivity and support in this community 🌟!!! And Brandon, I know you’ll meet other good people on your life!! I hope you keep giving others a chance and hope a new friendship develops in your life!
I think this channel has the best ASMR ever. Not only is there great oral and verbal sounds, but great stories to go with it. It’s like listening to audible while tingling with the sounds.😀
Glad you enjoyed it my friend, it was an amazing trip. Hard to imagine it was 50 years ago this summer. Thanks for all your support my friend and your kind words and encouragement...:)
You should have a national radio show where you just tell your stories. The whole country would tune in. Another GREAT tale told expertly. Thanks Mark!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lisa, I really hope your day is special and that you have an amazing 2024 ahead of you. Thanks so much for your kind words and for tuning in....stay awesome my amazing friend...:)
Happy New Year , Mark.! I watch and re-listen to your stories every night as it helps me fall off to sleep. Your channel has become my “go to” for ASMR and I’ve been tuned in since you started. I also enjoy your meal prep channel. You certainly have a talent for how you present your content on both channels. I’ve watched you grow with your skills and comfort level and want to convey my gratitude to you for your continued efforts in sharing your life with the world. Thank you, Mark! I too wish 2024 to be a great year for you and yours! Keep up the great work! Your friend from Conroe Texas. John
Hey John, its words like yours that encourage me to keep going. You are very generous with your comments, thank you so much my friend. All the best to you in 2024 and thanks for your support to both my channels...;)
From one Mark to another! Sounds like an amazing trip! I enjoy watching your videos, all the way from here in Bloomington, Illinois (about 2 hours from Chicago). Take care!
Hey Mark! Dude, you are making my drives to and from work each day a whole lot more relaxing, thanks so much!! I love listening to your stories - this one is on par with your Logging Story, which is my favourite so far! Give me a shout out next time you're able too dude ✌️✌️✌️ Liam
Love this so much those days can never happen again but let me tell you I don’t mind being in my 50s I wouldn’t change a thing and so grateful to be born when I was and to have lived in the best era ever I only wished life was simple like it was……the world would be a much better place …. I get it but man life would be good ❤
Hey thanks for the comments Gina and for sharing your thoughts. Also thanks for tuning in my friend, I hope you continue to enjoy your amazing life....have a great week...:)
Mark! What a captivating story of adventure. You truly have a way of storytelling that transports me back in time. This was so enjoyable to listen to. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! When you mentioned the Guess Who album 'Live at the Paramount" in Seattle, I pass the Paramount when I come back home from grocery shopping, here in Seattle. Beautiful theater still going strong today.
Happy new year my friend, that is so cool. I have seen pics of the Paramount and it looks like a beautiful old Theater. Thanks for sharing your comments and for tuning in...;)
Happy new year Mark! May it be full of health, joy and prosperity! Another great video, keep up the great work in 2024 as well - your videos are so relaxing and smooth. Greetings from Athens, Greece! Dionisis
Great video. I grew up near (and spent a lot of time in) Flint, MI. It's the hometown of Grand Funk Railroad and you are correct. Grand Trunk Railroad is the inspiration for the band's name. My ex gf's dad rented a house to them before the band became famous. I lost count of how many train overpasses in Flint were tagged with spray paint to make it say Grand Funk. I also now live in the Detroit area and have been to Cobo Hall many times. Now, it's officially called Huntington Place but almost everyone still calls it Cobo.
Thanks for sharing this Cheese-Hound, very interesting. That must have been cool for your ex gf's dad to rent to a band like Grand Funk, hope they didn't trash the place....lol...thanks for tuning in and for the fascinating comments....;)
Great story Mark. Great band, The Guess Who. I have always enjoyed that album “ Wheatfield Soul “ It has that hit song “These Eyes “ that I still hear from time to time. It’s an amusing part of the story that you just missed them at the music store.
Hi Jaminjones, that was so weird that we just missed them since we were both fans of their music. Anyway it was a great trip and I am happy to hear you enjoy some of their tunes. Thanks for tuning in my friend and I hope 2024 is your year....:)
Happy 2024 Genie, yes I hope I can keep it up with the salads...ok, maybe the odd Popeyes chicken here and there Thanks for tuning in my friend.....:).

Hi Jamie I did black forest for my one year anniversary in September th-cam.com/video/i_YenpdbAwI/w-d-xo.html I will do more cake and some cookies some time, thanks for tuning in my friend...;)
I have doing a lot of research on traveling by train. I look forward to it down the road. There is a train ride from the bottom of the Rockies into Canada an back an they say it's heaven during the winter. But knowing my luck every one there would be sick on day 1 cause of the time of year
There is a train called Rocky Mountaineer, it is exclusively for tourism, I hear it is very good. Linda and I would love to travel kore by train maybe across Europe...thanks for commenting and for tuning in Mason....:)
Always enjoy your videos Mark,such a great mix of ASMR and compelling stories 👍 What’s up with the flimsy plastic fork all the time though my man? Wouldn’t a proper fork be better/easier? Can my daughter Kinley and I (Ryan) get a shout out some time with your response? We watch all the time. 🤞
Hello Ryan, your shout out is on the way, most likely on the 12th of this month. Most viewers wanted a plastic fork coz the metal fork is a bit noisy. My Yeti mic is very sensitive and if I even put the fork down to hard it pics it up and it sounds very loud. I tell you what, in the video I make for you and your daughter I will use a real fork just for you two...sound good?...thanks to the two of you for tuning in and supporting my channel, you are both awesome...:)
Hey mark been following your channel for a while big fan!!! I was wondering if you can do another Hardy’s boys ready and or any book ready,I personally think those are your best videos, also can I get a shout out please!!
Wow Jaiden you are very perceptive. The Hardy Boys video is the nest one up this Friday, hope you enjoy. Thanks for tuning in my friend...:)....yes your shout out will be on the 12th of this month.
In this video you say Richard's mother somehow connected with a long lost brother. Eventually she moves in with him across Canada. Windsor Onterio. Do you mean to say long lost lover? Minute 3:33.
Howdy Mark. I ain't doin' any sleeping tonight. I have an ear infection, of all damn things. Not since I was a child, have I dealt with this. It's a bad one. I go back to work in a couple hours. Sheesh, it'll be a drag tomorrow.
Hi Bill, the package arrived, thanks so much my friend. Hope your ear infection clears up soon. Linda's grand daughters both had one over Christmas. I had ear aches as a kid but last time I had one was when I was 17, very painful. Feel better soon my friend and thanks again for the package....:)
Aw, I know the feeling of finally seeing a good friend after sooo long 🥹
Yes it is an amazing experience for sure, thanks for watching Luminous...:)
