Thank you to all the people who submitted into Dear Mark. Hopefully one day Mark will read these and know how many people admire him!
Dear Mark...
I'm one of your biggest freinds here in my hometown.i really like
your style of playing bass.
i've got a really big problem and i hope you could help me with that.my dearest
girlfriend is hurting herself everytime when she got a little pain inside she
wants it to get free she said i don't know what to do.

Dear Mark...
Hey Mark, please read this! I know I’m just another one of your fans.
but that’s ok right? ..
My name is carling I live in Ontario in a town that I won’t even say because
it’s so small nobody knows of it-lol. I have a big family me and my older
brothers including all my cousins love your music!! We all play many
instruments: keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, fiddle, voice, mandolin, and banjo…
all different kinds. We don’t see each other often so when we do we always jam
and we always play a lot of blink songs.
I love your band "Blink 182" you guys are awesome. You and Tom have great
voices that blend awesomely together and you play your instruments well. Travis
is just amazing at the drums! I don't know why I’m telling you all this because
you already know I’m sure...-ha.. I think you’s are all so awesome. You guys are
always so funny and I love the lyrics in your songs. I'm so sad that you's are
no longer a band!! you’s were and will always be to me the best ever! I hope one
day you’s can get back together, I always said how I would go see you’s live in
concert but yous broke-up before I ever got to! Bummer, that was a real
disappointment. But of course your life’s and family are way more important then
a band. I know that I’m just another one of your fans righting a email to you
and you might not even ever read this but I just wanted to let you know that i
love your band it was and will always be great and I support you guys all the
way no matter what! Even though I never ever spoke to you’s or met you’s
personally you seem like great funny and nice guys. I appreciate you’s and your
music so much, it can't be easy being known all across the world, having
thousands of fans. It’s a full time job. And I’m sure it take’s a lot of
patience and a ton of work to be musicians. I pray for yous and you families
(wife’s, kids) everyday.
*If you ever get the chance can you please email me at
newfoundglory224@hotmail.com or blinkandbeer@hotmail.com to let me know if you
read this or not. But I know you get thousands of letters from thousands of fans
and your probably way to busy to email one of them like me. And I know if you
took the time to email each and everyone of them your life would be spent on the
computer….. ~***ok well, stay cool***~

Dear Mark...
I have incredibly in love with you ever since the first time I heard
your voice on "Adam's Song". I'm like a huge nerd, and I find that I can't
relate to any other band's music and humor as well as I can to Blink-182. So
thanks for being so good.

Dear Mark...
Seeing as you will never read this because you probably get so much
fan mail, I decided to write you and ode. Here goes nothing...
ODE TO MARK HOPPUS
I love Mark and his pink bass guitar.
I lie on my back and stare at the stars. I finger my self and pretend that its
you. I'd nurse you to health if I gave you the flu.
I really don't care if you're married or single. Let's have a threesome, I'll
bring the Pringles.I want to be pregnant with little Mark babies. You make me
foam at the mouth like rabies.
I'd give blowjobs while you watch t.v. That'd be a scandal cause I'm just 14.
I'll love you forever, till stars fall to Earth. My band will never be as good
as yours.
You're sexy and funny and so immature. I think were soul mates I wish, I was
sure.And even though nothing can happen between us (legally). I love you Mark Hoppus.
Was it good? But really a guy as talented and as fucking sexy as you deserves
their own ode.
Much Love(and horneyness),
Ariel
P.S.Thank you for feuling all of my extremely naughty sexual fantisies.

I've been a huge Blink fan since about 97'. i saw you guys about 5
times in Cleveland, but i missed the show with No Doubt, and now i regret it
since you broke up. I will look into plus 44.Jim.P.S. your old stuff is the
best.

Dear Mark...
You...are...GOD!!!
I absolutely love your work, Blink-182 has been my favorite band since I heard
your songs, no bullsh*t always true things we could all relate to and you have
never dissapointed us. I live in this island in the middle of nowhere but me
and my friends love the band. And we all agreed we'd give our testicles to see
you guys perform live, but I guess just listening to your songs will have to do.
So remember if you're ever in the need for testicles just call us up.

Dear Mark...
I love the song "Not Now". The music is amazing and the lyrics are
even better. But why didn't you sing the intro up until "God has a master plan"
?? Then let Tom bust in... "Please Save Me!!" It would have made the song so
much better. Would you ever consider redoing the song again like that and
possiblly release it as either a bonus track or underground? You're the best!
Rock On!

Mark, you are the greatest musician/singer of all time. I know you've

wanted to be like you. Thanks for all the great things you've done with music,
including the stuff you did with Motion City Soundtrack.
From one of the many you've inspired,

Dear Mark...
I've loved you and Blink-182 for almost a decade now and was crushed
when i found out about the indefinate hiatus, it was like hearing your parents
were getting divorced. I've heard both Plus 44 and Angels and Airwaves new music
which were both good but please give me hope that we can someday here you and
Tom back together again! Your voices complimented each other and its hard to
listen to either of you sing without hearing the other singing along or in the
chorus.
-Forever a loyal fan, Nikki

Hi. I think your band rox. I bet you hear that alot. I also think
your really awesome (with a capitol AW!) I read from Tom AND you on why you guys
broke up. It sux bad. I could never find a band I liked untill I heard Josie. I
think your way better then Green Day or Yellowcard or any other band and tons of
people agree. But if you have this new family and life you could write some new
cool songs. Maybe you guys could get back together as a band. You AND tom make
the video's funny and sometimes sense-less. Sure, you guys are both funny
yourselves but it's not going to be the same without both of you. Lots of people
agree and lots were hurt because some of your songs touched people. I know Stay
Together For The Kids got to me because I went through and felt everything in
that song. If you worked so hard for everything you had and have then why throw
it all away? Family is important no doubt but you guys can't stay mad forever. I
know because my friends and I are all fighting now. And isn't the stronger
person the one who steps up and says "Guys this is stupid. Lots of people love
us to no end and really think this is dumb. We have tons of new insperation for
some new songs why not give it a shot?!" I think so. I think that person would
be my hero instead of the wizard and the unicorn.
One of your many fans,

I'm a really big fan over here in the UK (I only have the Blink 182
greatest hits album right now but im getting enema of the state soon) I was
wondering, I'm Saving up to get a Black version of your custom bass for £569.90,
Do You think i shud get the Surf Green version instead ,and, If i ever got to
meet you would you sign it or if i haven't yet bought it, sign my old Ibanez
5-string ,and, How do you hold your pick like you do as it's so difficult for me
i can't do it pls could you tell me how ,and, I'm 15 and i've just recently
started playing bass (bought 1 year and a bit (Got a bass at 14), so I have
started before you started I guess) and i can already play every track on the
greatest hits album (apart from Go and Carousel (Long version))(yeah i got the
british version album but my cousins lending me the American album so i can play
aliens exist). Anyway....
All the best you old scoundrel lol
