3 good things

1. Sandi’s birthday was a lot of fun. Saw Pio on the way out

2. Designed this stolen idea from san francisco

3. Biked around LES. Knee is feeling pretty solid

Realizing how hard it is to do a business. Not sure why I’m trying to do a business, but oh well.

I missed yesterday, but that’s fine. I’ve been researching on possibly making beanies, giving them away, and selling a few. I don’t really have a business model. Maybe I should look into business stuff??

Not sure. But yesterday was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with some friends with Gemma for like 5 hours and I was so close to home. It was nice to just feel like I could do whatever and stay out long just because my animal guide was with me. I went to sleep early and was happy. Can’t believe the weekend is over again though.

3 good things

1. Spent an hour just walking around with Gemma

2. Got to eat out today

3. Started looking into buying embroidered beanies for skrrt. Also got hit up by a denim store in Soho about possibly doing a project with them. I actually know the brand so it’s seems legit. I applied to a job there but didn’t get it. My expectations are low because it could be a scam, but we’ll see. I tried to look up the guy, but couldn’t find anything.

Hmm. Not sure what else to say. I think I was supposed to design something dealing with shoes, but i guess not today. Maybe tomorrow.

A legend in skateboarding passed away today. Keith Hufnagel, founder of Huf and a pioneer in ny skateboarding passed from brain cancer. Today has felt off since around 3pm. The reminder is that there are days when I’m not going to feel good and days when I’m going to be feeling great. Can’t experience one without the other. I don’t really feel like making anything today, but I collected photos to start to make a collage of Huf.

I’ve been thinking that I should start making a sports design portfolio or a shoe design portfolio. I’m realizing that Huf is probably a good model of who I’d like to become like when I get older.

Also sad news is that I found out that Grant Imahara, who was a host of Mythbusters, passed away in July 2020. In high school, I’d watch mythbusters from time to time and see Grant on the show. I only knew him as that asian guy on the show. It was cool to see that representation. Sad to see it.

I’m starting to think about all the pros/ celebrities that I’ve looked up to for a long time and when they finally pass. The question will become, did they leave their mark on the world. Huf definitely did since his name is the brand. I’m thinking about skrrt and how to expand it. Maybe I should start paying skaters $10 a session to pop out? But it’s not about money though. People naturally will come.

I started looking into flights going home to California. Flights are more expensive despite me having jetblue points. My office won’t open until January 2021 so I could go home for that time. I could go for a whole month. Hopefully during that time I could also get a tattoo, but we’ll see. But then again, do I really want to be home for that long? Shit I got anxiety just thinking about being home for that long. Yeah, I just got a whole bunch of anxiety thinking about being home for a month. 2 weeks I found was enough time to come back.

Shit, ok, I’m going to go calm down and buy something to eat.
