Love your videos. Great Job! Will continue watching.
Thank you Brian!
I have been following you on here since moving to Newfoundland with my wife (who is originally a townie) in May 2023. I love your videos and your positive energy (refreshing in this day and age of social media). Keep on being impervious to the haters and bringing your high quality "Rock-centric" content to those of us who have the capacity to appreciate it. You are performing a valuable service in my estimation. Thanks!!
Thank you!
Hi Mark. I'm a 54 year old below average looking guy living in Nova Scotia. I'm finally starting to get it. My looks don't matter. I'm figuring out what matters now. Took me long enough. Good video. Keep em coming huh.
@onemashedlife4313 I'm even older , probably on the lower side of good looks spectrum, but I've learned none of that is important, we're all what we are we make the best of it ....I grow a beard to cover my face lol.
Mark, your comment about going on road trips with your parents immediately brought a lump to my throat. You are so blessed. THEY are so blessed & lucky. (LOVE the boxing gloves !!) At your age, to have found how to “be happy” by sharing the beauty of Newfoundland and leaving drama aside is what WE are all benefitting from. Thank you !
I worry about the future like anyone else, but I’m proud of my ability to appreciate the present, at least sometimes. When I’m in the car with mom and dad (or as you’ll see over the next few months, with my wife and kids) exploring Newfoundland, there’s not a thing in the world that makes me feel more at peace. It really is my greatest joy.
Thanks for watching Judy, and for coming back to share your thoughts from time to time. I always appreciate you.
NIce take on just sailing by your own star. Ignorre the haters. You're a natural story-telller.
His voice is calming, that's a gift 🎁
Thank you. I’m actually making a conscious effort to improve my story telling so that is actually even nicer to read than you know
Thanks my buddy
You’re the coolest and most genuine guy on my RUclips subscriptions.
I’m 53 and wear my hat inside too. Lol
LOL...my students always would tell me that I was "different"! But yea, I get it not caring much for hockey for even Game of Thrones...you're singing in my choir now! lol I'd love to go on one last road trip with my mom and dad...we did some awesome ones in my motorhome to PEI, Cape Breton and even Maine...but just one more... I'm one that really doesn't handle drama well any more at all...that is what I am way too old for now! We really do all need to be real for ourselves...and you hit the nail directly on the head...time IS precious!! Thanks for this!!
We seem to have a lot in common. Thanks for coming back and watching this one ☺️
Great video!! Love the story! And the visuals 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks brother. I hope I’m making you proud 😆
@mark_royle_newfoundland haha super proud of you bro! finding a story in a negative post and turning it into a net positive is high level writing/creative solutions based thinking!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great reply to someone who does not know you..oh i love your Dad's St Pat's hat went there from grade 1 to 9..hope to back to St John's in October.
He really loves that hat too. I don’t think I ever met anyone who went to St Pats that doesn’t look back on the place fondly. I miss it myself and my only connection was bowling there as a little kid and playing basketball there in elementary
@@mark_royle_newfoundland i tell people we had a bowling alley in school and i get wirerd looks LOL
You and I have alot in common Mark. I don't really care about hockey, video games and I've never watched GOT. Some of my passions in life are my family, excellent food and exploring this beautiful province. I just wanted to say, I enjoyed this video and love your channel. We all have to take a step back, take a deep breath and appreciate every day life .
Who would have ever thought you have a passion for FOOD?!? Haha thanks my buddy. I always appreciate you
Long time lurker, your video comes at very special reflection time in my life. Thank you Mark for sharing what matters to you and should for most. Best kind every time, life will test you it's how you respond is what matters. We bend but we don't break!
Thank you for watching Bill. Bend but don’t break, wise words indeed!
You're not too old. If you are, that means I am too. A lot of what you said I can relate with. Time is precious, I wish I figured that out earlier. Love your work with these videos. We still have a lot to do you and I.
Yup, we sure do. And nope, we're not reeeeeally too old for anything (other than the drama maybe)
As always nice video. Keep being yourself.😊
That's the best mindset!
Thank you!
I think we are all a bit strange and weird mark. Thats what makes us unique and interesting. Keep up the great work showing our beautiful province and people! Sending my love and appreciation to you and your family!
Thank you Kyle.
Right on Mark. I really enjoy your videos. Here’s a good quote from Oscar Wilde: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Loves it!
I really like the editing on this video! It’s always good, but something about this one felt, like, more somehow? Thanks for continuing to do your own thing!
I’m still learning how to do this but I really am getting comfortable with my tools now. If I’m being honest, this one felt really good but it’s hard to critique my own editing… so thank you so much for saying that!
Stay happy Mark 🙂
Mark I always dug your vibe, even back in high school. I remember you stood out to me amongst da b’ys (you were a few grades ahead of me). You just do your own thing and that’s always been the epitome of cool to me. Thank you for showing us how it’s done.
Thank you! I did feel like I was kinda drifting around on my own in high school and I made it work for myself as well as I could. Glad to know that someone from high school remembers me in a positive light 😆
On the mark Mark.... keep showing the young ones how's it's done! :)
Haha thanks!
Your videos are always so informative and your gift to tell great stories is one to be proud of! Just another reason why my family will be visiting NF next year. Thanks from California!
I feel like we may have chatted about your connection to Newfoundland here in the comments on another video not too long ago. If I’m remembering that correctly, I’m very happy to see that making the trip happen next year!
I don't think you are a weirdo at all!! Keep doing what you love and I will keep watching! Newfoundland Rocks!!
Haha thanks
Don't let people rob you of you happy places and activities. You hurt no one with these things, but you add pleasure to others. Your "little videos" helped guide my visit to Newfoundland (still here, actually, too windy for the ferry to Labrador!).
I’ll never get tired of messages like yours. I appreciate you, as always😊
Fecking brilliant video, i only came across your channel yesterday and as its Neil’s birthday today I feel that he must have steered me to you, say hi to your Mudder and Fadder 😊 and keep making videos, I find your voice very easy to listen to, by the way 👍
I can’t tell you how nice it was to see your name show up here today. Thanks for saying that Mr. Bodman. I had Neil on my mind when I put this video together and of course I thought about him today.
I took a screenshot of your comment and already sent it to mom and dad. I bet they’ll be very happy to see that.
I hope you’re doing great! I will definitely keep making these videos so please pop back in and watch from time to time if you see them show up on your feed 👍🏼
@@mark_royle_newfoundland you are welcome, keep making the great content and we will keep watching 😊
I left social media for a year because I could not stand the negativity, anger, general stupidity which left me at times with so much anxiety. Now I look for videos such as yours that leave me with happiness, joy, excitement about place, things . So don’t ever stop doing what you do because it does make a difference.
Ps nothing wrong with being a bit weird as it makes life fun .
I basically can't stand social media because of the silly/stupid things you mention but these videos are my attempt to dilute the system with something different. I'm so glad they reach at least a few of my fellow weirdos!
Loved this video Mark❤ ‼️
Thank you 😊
Keep being you my friend
I love your videos!
I appreciate you. I’ll keep them coming and I hope I can keep you watching!
Carry on Mark.
You’re setting a wonderful example others should emulate!👍
Thank you Charles!
Stay true to yourself, enjoy what you do and keep the positive vibes coming. Love your videos!
Thank you Brian. You’re from Fogo Island right? I’m making my way back up later this month to make another video… hope you’ll stay tuned!
@@mark_royle_newfoundland correct Mark originally from Fogo Island been in Ottawa for over 30 years now but get back at least once a year. I will definitely stay tuned for all your upcoming videos.
A Newfoundlander who is not a contrarian?! The mainland changed you me son! 😂😂
Facts! Like I said… I’m a weeeeirdo!!
You do you man. That's all that matters and is what truly inspires others.
Thank you Arnold. Well said.
Well said, Mark! If we all did only the things that make other people happy, nobody would be truly happy…we are individuals! BTW I’m well old enough to be your mother and my life is filled with the things that make me happy! Your ideas and topics never disappoint! Keep it up😊
Thank you Emily. Very well said.
Good on you, Mark. Always be legit 🤘
Thanks 💙
Nice sneakers easy to find! Love your videos - Peace
Haha yes I haven’t gotten myself lost in ages!
We have a very similar story. Both married Asians, both love wrestling ( I still watch the old stuff from the 80's & 90's....lol ),both try to get home as much as we can with our children, and both have Elderly parents....lol. Love seeing pictures of Twillingate. We may not always agree but no sense in getting nasty. Keep up the great work. Cheers from the North.
Thanks buddy. Heading back to Twillingate again very soon. Keep an eye out for what I have coming!
@@mark_royle_newfoundland my hometown. Best place. Lol
6 foot 4 , 250 lbs , I'm glad I didn't complain about your cap and ear rings .... well mostly I didn't complain because I didn't notice lol. Yeah even with my little channel I get the odd negative comment most times I totally ignore , occasionally I agree with them (that sometimes screws them up lol) occasionally I try to explain why I said or did something and if it all else fails I just drop them , like you said I'm definitely too old for this lol. Keep the videos coming my friend and have a great weekend.
I can’t imagine what would have to be going through someone’s mind to watch one of your videos and anything negative to say. But this is a weird world so I shouldn’t be surprised haha
Why anyone would care if you wear an earing or choose to wear a ballcap is beyond me. Hopefully they watched the video and realized there is so much more to life then worrying about what someone else chooses to wear. Keep doing what makes you happy because we are all enjoying your videos!!!
Thanks Brad, I will
Someone actually took the time to "call out" a man wearing a cap indoors and having pierced ears?
Sounds like he hasn't looked around at people very much. What an odd guy.
You take your hat off in certain situations, such as entering a church or eating a meal at a restaurant or the singing of a national anthem. But he's gonna be real upset with life if he expects to never see hats worn indoors anywhere.
As for earrings, I guess he also can't take Michael Jordan, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman and a pile of other pretty damn successful men serious.
I wouldn't be too concerned about being "taken serious" by that guy.
Haha yes. A real weirdo.
I did actually do a double take when I first saw the comment (exaggerated for effect in my opening scene reenactment, of course). I am actually thankful for the comment... it instantly gave me the idea to create this video. This might have been the most fun I ever had making a video.
I guess I am weird also Mark.......not a gamer and never watched the game of thrones or that kind of shows.......LOL. This was nicely done Mark........you have a talent for content my friend.
High praise, for sure. Thanks my buddy.
The people who say you suck don't have a damn thing to offer anyone. That is why you have a following, and they don't.
also, I am a 6'4 man in his mid forties who hates hockey, loves wrestling, who wears his hats indoors. I can go on and on. If you are a weirdo, then so AM I and like you said, WHO CARES! Much love from your brother Bruce in Ontario.
Thanks Bruce
New term - rage-watching! That's a wild one. Can't imagine spending time watching something I didn't like just to make snarky or mean comments. Glad you can let it roll off your back... On the other hand... Braves? Really??? 😆
Haha I can’t take credit for the term “rage watching” but I will try to combat the concept in my own way…
As for the Braves… that’s kind of a mandatory rite of passage for anyone in my immediate family. Dad was a huge Hank Aaron fan and it carried forward to present day. We never had a choice 😂
There are a lot of unhappy people these days, and these comments aren't about you, but them. Please continue to be YOU! I too am a "weirdo" if there is such a thing??? I enjoy a lot of things that aren't mainstream, and I'm happy that way. Love your videos!
Thank you 😊 Weirdos of the world, UNITE!
Question. If you don't like hockey, why the Growlers lid?
3 reasons: 1) it’s the greatest logo in the history of sports; 2) I’ll support any local team, especially when they have a logo this sweet; and 3) they did have a basketball team for 15 minutes!
@@mark_royle_newfoundland Thanks for the quick response. Your earrings and voice did not bother me one iota in what I read.
Haha thank god for that!
Time to pay back Adam Bugden b'y, plus interest on inflation that's like 200 dollars
Haters gonna hate.
