I just want to say something very general - I think your art is very male (something I haven't seen ever!!) and it's wonderful. It's different and I should think it would do very well here in US. Do you sell here? I mean, do shows? If so, I'd love to follow you to see your stuff in person. Anyway, great work. Good luck always and thanks for sharing your stuff and, yes, your commentary videos too!
Hi Gary. Re: PACKING IT ON. Some people are just really rude. You are absolutely gorgeous and anyone who disagrees is probably just jealous of your devastatingly handsome good looks and enormous talent! Not everyone can look as good in a yellow G string as you ha ha! Anyhoo I'm off to the kitchen to have a nice VEGEMITE and lettuce sandwich followed by a huge slab of chocolate cake. I always try to eat a balanced diet - my version. Curse those damned taste buds!
I'm not sure who said it originally but I remember a quote Shay Carl said, "Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change."
Advice I should take myself. Good luck with the changes you're wanting to make and the weight loss.
'Where does that leave Aerick?' (forgive me, I probably spelled his name wrong) I literally snorted out loud when you started debating his place on the list.
My inlaws are the absolute WORST about 'sizing up' everyone we know - it's SO annoying and totally worthless. I mean, come on, at least tell us shizz that's somewhat interesting when giving an update about how 'so and so' is doing... not just how FAT they've gotten!
And we're moving 'home' to be closer to these people, why?
Sorry, could'nt stop laughing, you are soo funny! had to stop the video and restart it again! especially the goodness of carrots! forget the carbs, pig out on meat and veg...lol!!! and dont think of it as a diet. You look cool, so you will become super cool XX : )
I opened up a package of shortbread rounds, popped one into my mouth and then saw that you had a new video. I said out loud "oooo, a new Gary video" and sprayed cookie crumbs all over the computer. Truly I did, and I almost died laughing while watching it. I was so glad nobody was here to see me. This was a good ramble, very enjoyable, and it got me thinking about the many uses for carrots. Love the cow face.
@marybarfield LOL now that would have been something to see. I always enjoy people joking on food or drink while watching one of my videos, it gives me a sense of accomplishment ROFL!
Oh, I have been feeling exactly the same way Gar, and I have a family wedding to go to in the spring. Need to get on that frig'n treadmill. You going to do an exercise vid for us?! On Your Bike Mate......lol
LOVE YOU! You are great no matter what your weight!!!
My daughter recently asked me if I had a baby in my tummy because it sure looked like it. It didn't movitvate me though it just bummed me out...oh now I've said too much...
When I meet people, I haven't seen for a while, of course I comment on the changes, but that is never meant negative. Not like: Oh dear, you look fat, lol! If you don't bother to be more big, you are untouchable by something someone else says.
Dont worry about being lazy, you have been so busy, you also need time to revive yourself. I wish to you a happy week-end! :-)
@reginaangel I think the biggest change is when i see people i went to school with, like at a reunion or something. I'm OMG what happened to him or her..how life changes us over time!
I like the "You Got Fat!!" at the grocery store or the bank from someone you haven't seen in a few years...in front of usually a semi-large group..."You're a Dumbass!!" I'm always screaming in my head. You don't look heavy. Haven't you always been "buff"? I think you look great. I'm sure most of your viewers agree. Refreshing chat. I find myself turning to you for daily affirmations SNL style...ha.
@PotentM In my 20's i was superfit in fact i was doing 3 circuit classes a day as well as weights but that changed late 20's and early 30's when life became busy, i moved countries and changed routines...No excuse still but yeah LOL
I'm trying to combine a more chilled out relaxed approach to my video, showing a little more of my character...art can be boring 24/7 lol
Does anything ever really change? see your video of 11 July 2009 called "What Frustrates Me!"
As to people saying “you’ve gained weight” to your face, I guess it depends on how you are feeling about yourself. Sometimes it can feel really crushing and critical, and other times it is just what you need to make you take a good look at yourself perhaps. Who knows?
Have to agree with your mum though, if you have only nasty things to say to people, better to stay silent.
@poettreee No nothing ever changes, you just get to a point where you say enough is enough, then u loose the weight and then get into a comfort zone again and put it back on and so forth!
I find that even though it's difficult to get started once I do I love the excercise, the endorphins are good for everything....EVERYTHING LOL I am a much happier person when I excercise. I hope that it helps you too! Now get to it! :) BTW you look fabulous anyway kilos or no kilos :)
@CapricornArtist73 Yeah I agree. After I excercise I feel on top of the world for a while :) And the feeling only gets stronger and sticks around longer the more often I excercise too! Something to look forward to! :) plus it does wonders for the libdo!!!!! One bonus people don't mention often enough in my opinion LOL :)
Balance Gary... It's all about balance and us artist can get unbalanced because of our tendency to become one track minded over art projects. When that one track mind takes over, we end up neglecting other areas of our lives such as working out and exercising. It's all about balance.
@CapricornArtist73 Yes, think of your life as a painting. Ask yourself is the composition balanced? Are there varying points of interest? Are there varied textures and colors....etc... :)
Yeah...food is definitely up there on the list...hey, it's a natural thing, right?! :) Nice to see a few videos and hope all goes well...weight is just a number in the end!
not a damn thing wrong with loving food and having the smoking hot body to prove it. looks great on you.
