I don't know about everyone else but I sure will miss you TONS, I really hope you feel better and everything gets better soon, and I will tell you what I told Jason, you didn't tag me??? how dare you!?? :P
please hurry back and get your stuff in order, I love you buddy!!! you are one of the best people I've ever not met, you know what I mean right?? lol
You will be sorely missed. Please take care of yourself and your family. You have your priorities straight! Hopefully, we'll all see you soon. Best Wishes.
Take care of yourself Brian! It was awesome meeting you at SouthTube, even if it was only for a minute. Camerons rule! My Cameren will be 18 in 3 weeks!
Brian - You were my one almost human link to the USA and I will miss watching you and Andrea. I hope all is going well for you and your family. I miss our after launch parties and all the laughs. I will eagerly await your return. Hugs and the best to you. Rita
I know where your weight has gone--right here. Yeah, I've put on some extra pounds, so I don't think it's very nice that you make fun of me and call me a Buddha. hahahaha.
So cool to see your first one! Sorry to hear that you have health concerns and need to take time out to deal with those. But I'm glad to hear you're taking it seriously and putting yourself 1st now so you can come back renewed. You may be out of 'site' but you won't be out of mind. Sending positive vibes your way and hoping to see you again soon with an update.
Thanks for all the times you've made me laugh, cry and think. Here's to many more to come. Cheers, Lesley
Brian, you seem like such a great guy. You'll be missed while you take your break, but we'd much rather that you take care of YOU! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. We'll be waiting with open arms when you come back!
Wow, it's amazing how far we've come in the last couple of years since our first videos. At least yours had sound. Take the time that you need to get better. I wish you all the best. I'll see you later.
You know I love you. We will all miss your schmexy face (even the missing tooth) around the Tubes, but I know that you will be back better than ever and hopefully renewed and happier on all accounts. Thanks for tagging me, I like a good tagging now and again!! hahaaaaa, I crack myself up!
sorry i could not hear your video... but your face sure did telescope your feelings...i will still try to see if i can hear your video,,,,your friends mae and joe....(mae has severe alzeimers,,,,we made a video to last year...friends for life
wow so much has changed in 2 years. i will talk to you soon i promise...i think the police restraining order expires this week so i will be allowed to talk to you, thats if your lawyers let me....
It was beyond awesome to finaly meet you Brian. You give kick ass hugs. Thanks for letting me be in the Paul Scott video. Totally cool! I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*
Thank you for being my friend here on youtube. Timely! I'd say, in this video alone you have helped put me in touch with where it all started, thank you. I needed that. You will be missed. Sending you healing energy for a speedy get well. Thank you for sharing this and for always being so willing to participate in my little ideas. Be well.
PS Part two of the name collab will be out soon :)
Brian please take care of yourself - take however much time you need - you're a pillar of the community here (however corny that might sound -it's true) and we'll all be here ready to pick up where we left off.
But, absolutely, good, health first, health first. Feel better hun.
When I was little, my father dealt with a weight loss problem too.
He was mysteriously losing weight...then getting better...then losing weight again. The doctors eventually figured out that he had ciliac disease (allergic to wheat). I remember how difficult that was for the doctors to figure it out.
So...get some good doctors. No matter what cost.
And get better soon, I'll be awaiting your return!
lol, the first video. On a cell phone, in your office?!? That's awesome. I love the last minute, it's like your eyes are watching people walk by your office with ultra paranoia written on your face that someone might come in, heheh.
Brian, your videos are great for re-finding balance again. We all have stressful lives with work and young kids, as I'm sure you do, but your vids represent a calm, kind person full of love for the world that is rare and it's very refreshing. Thanks for postin'!
Brian... I am so sorry you are having some health issues. take some time for you. I will miss you. But you will get something from me soon I think. Love you.
Hey - haven't been subed to you for very long, but you seem like a really cool person. For what it's worth, I wish the best of health and happiness during whatever you may be going through right now. -eric
Brian, everything you've gotten out of this place, you have given back tenfold. If the entire Internet disappeared tomorrow, you are one of the people I would still be talking to and laughing with regardless of the medium. I'll be with you through whatever comes your way and we'll be telling stories about it on the other side. I love you and I'll see you soon - and I'll be nagging you to take good care of yourself along the way.
You're good people and I'm glad we crossed paths here on the internets. It's an honor to call you a friend and I'm sure we'll hang again after the holidays. I think Joe will have more room in his new house, so we'll have to visit and break it in!
Take care of yourself and I'm sure we'll chat soon... Much respect to ya brother.
Do what you must to get things in order, my friend, You know where to find me and vice versa. We will chat soon -- I want to make sure all is well. The feelings, btw, are mutual.
You know, I pulled my first video last summer....and I've regretted it ever since. So I think I need to repost it despite some copyrighted music.
I literally watched this video twice... all 22 minutes plus change, with all the rewinding and staring blankly at the screen. For some reason, when I finished watching it the first time, I had no clue what to say in my comment. All I could think about was whether you're okay. (which is funny cause I thought of texting you the other day to see if you are) So then I watched it a second time. Same thing, except this time with a rush of SouthTube nostalgia.
Brian. I love you. I miss you. I hope you get what you need out of this break. And get healthy and strong... because you'll need it to peel me off of you the next time I see you. Consider this a warning.
See you again soon my friend. Seriously. I mean it. :-)
Sending healthy wishes your way Brian-why do I call you Brian when we haven't formally been introduced?? Good question!!! None the less, healthy wishes and speedy recovery. You will be missed my friend whom I haven't met nor been introduced to.
I did the same as mastergunner, and didnt even watch many the first few months, took me a while then i vlogged. When i found you, i thought, "this guy is going to be one of the best character and flamboyant you tuber!" Happily subbing, over the last 2 years, its grown to more than just the videos. Its your life and your family, your soul, your laughs and your tears. And Lars... :D Hugs Brian and buttpats to ya!! We shall see you soon!
The buttpat, was more of a team sorta buttpat.. Kind of like, you are coming in the game for the 3rd down, and you are making the touchdown. And then there was like this whole part where you waved to the fans and the crowd roared! (i had roasted peanuts..) Just to be clear and unusually quirky and lengthy in my commentationals... Bite me everyone this comment is for the Man.
Urban Ninja was one of the first videos I saw too. But it wasn't until after 5 straight hours of watching cops tasering idiots, did I realize that YouTube was my new online home.
ah, dude, gonna miss ur vids. they always put a smile on my face. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Hope ya get better quickly and have more time with your family. Look forward to your return. (had to play that with the audio preview, hilarious)
It's great that you hung onto your first video. I think my first was under a different name but was so bad I wouldn't even consider reposting it, even if I still had it.
Brian I am saddened to hear of your health issues and wish you a rapid and full recovery. Loved your first video - a 2 min vid on a phone 2 years ago? Wow. I could get that now, but not in the past. Happy Anniversary. I wish you and your family all the best!!!!! Come back soon! Hugs.
Damnit! Why do you insist on making me cry. Please don't stay gone long! You are in my thoughts. You are such a wonderful guy. I look forward to seeing your face show up on my subscriptions page. Now what? Miss you my friend. Smiley;D
I love you the only way a lesbian can love a man - with the spirit and fire of a home depot card, plaid, and a mullet. You are my one-true man love, I'll continue to harass you via phone - this break you are taking does not involve getting out of harassment by me.
It's important to take care of yourself and your family, first and foremost. The quality of your videos is sooo much better and you are much more comfortable in front of the camera. I'll be looking forawrd to your return!
hey! loved your vid!
