ME? passive-aggresive? ha. love you too. Although the Ego's sorta creep me out....
Enjoyed your rant on dieting as well (blog post). Imagine that could get some people riled up here! Agree with you saying you have to find what works for you, although you seem to want to throw everything out the window that is taught on dieting. Can see you don't lack in the ability to voice your opinion...
My 17 year old loved the video. I think she was impressed that you had the guts to show your nude self on the toilet. "not bad looking for an old guy"
keep it up. you make my day!
Ha - so much to respond to here.
-First, shit - I'm the old guy. That'll never register to me, but welcome to life right?
-Egos are indeed a little much for most people. Honestly, most don't know it's all me so they never get "Weirded" out. Thinking Spencer is a different person is just easier for everyone. Including my mother.
-Out of context with "The Journey" the posts certainly come off incredibly arrogant and it's actually intended that way. The whole point was to chronicle what it's like to try and make it in this industry and how it changes you. I'm always open and honest and if that means I turn into a complete prick, well though not intended - maybe that's what happens? I try not to worry about how it looks, just be honest. I will however stew about people's reactions ad infinitum because I don't ever want to seem insincere or arrogant. But sometimes we do.
-And on the diet stuff, there's just as many things I could have written that go ALONG with what other people say. I'm not an alien, so obviously there are some universal truths about humans and dieting... I just found my best success in the last 7 years (and remember I kept a good 50 pounds off for 5 years, but a divorce certainly changes things - heh), my best success was to stop listening to everyone and look INWARD. At me. What were my issues, what was I doing wrong, what were my triggers, and what were my strengths and weaknesses. Doing that allowed me to find what would work, and it ends up - it's the opposite of what many people say is right. That's all I was saying in that post. And I also immediately followed that up with:
"Now, if you're anorexic or bulimic or have long side-burns or stinky feet - everything I just wrote may be wrong...for you. It's something you just have to figure out for yourself. "
And so it goes...
