So I just finished watching Gary’s latest keynote, and it is definitely one of his best yet. I can understand why he doesn’t want to swear too much (his legacy) but it just makes it more entertaining for me.

I also have an issue with people like this Al Turccotte and many many others that I’ve seen literally @reply him saying negative things, I think it’s just a play to get attention from him (Which he gives). It’s disgusting really if you’ve seen any of his videos, you know that he cares, you can just see it on stage. And then to go and straight up say hes annoying, loud, obnoxious, or anything else negative is just sad.

I also wish people would give him a little break, I think people are taking advantage of his caring, sending him @replies and emails every day, all day. I can’t imagine being in his shoes, wanting to care so much about it all and having to answer all those @replies and emails and if he doesn’t he gets flak because he didn’t do it. When in reality, he has so much it takes him weeks just to get to your email you sent him a month ago. I know he would never complain about this, he loves that stuff. I’m just saying…put yourself in his shoes for a minute, is what you’re @replying or emailing him about something he hasn’t talked about yet? This has been a long on going thought of mine, finally just releasing it.

Read his book, watch his videos. He address a lot, and try what he says, if it doesn’t work AFTER that, then yeah, contact him and see what advice he has for you. Just my opinion though, the dude is cool and it would be awesome just to see him speak and really feel the energy in person.
