Mon, July 18th.
I've been swimming in the river a lot and maybe that's why I'm really into Jeff Buckley right now. This song is so haunting to memories, it's like a thick cloud which covers you in blue, with hints of orange trying to poke out from behind. Great song, but I'm kind of in a bad mood... Sponsoring skaters is fun but it gets annoying sometimes. I've got one skater that never responds to me and he's recently stopped tagging me in posts. If that doesn't seem like he wants out, I don't know what does. When I do get in contact with him however, he says he likes Kaba. It's so confusing and I'm almost ready to move on.
Skateboarding, whether it be the physical activity or the business behind it, is a lot like being in a relationship. With sponsors, if you're not communicating, things feel broken.
Goals today? Change my mood and have a good day! I've got a lot of orders I need to ship so I'll focus on that later.
Yesterday was great, my goal for the day ended up being totally different and I struck gold. I did an art show! Made about $260 selling tees and skate decks. I know, support skate shops. It gets hard though when skate shops don't support you. I sent postcards to over 40 skate shops in the east coast and not a single one hit me up. I even messaged them on Instagram to ask if they got the postcards. A few responded and said thanks for the postcard but that's as far as that went.
If you guys know any tips on how to get over a bad mood please let me know lol.
