Huh. I missed Monday. Oh well haha

What did I do yesterday?

I had work.

I think I finalized the meeting for Thursday. I had therapy on Monday.

I skated for the first time in awhile so that was exciting.

Another incomplete design up top. I think it’s a good thing though that I work on a design over a few days rather than just one day. In the past I’ve stayed up into the early morning designing, but this time, 2 years later, I’m going to just enjoy this process and make things that I can be really proud of.

3 good things

1. Skating with Eli was good. He got 2 clips, a nugget, $5, and two follows on IG. Got to connect with some older skater heads. It was fun to bike across the bridge. Nice to just talk about ideas for skrrt. It’s nice to have people with like minded spirits push me to be a better designer or to learn.

2. Found the camera that I want on craigslist. It’s been almost 3 years since I bought my first camcorder. It’s served me pretty well. It’s time for an upgrade.

Side note. It’s interesting how when I put my mind into focus mode, things start to come together again. I like it. I like that as soon as I turn it on, things start to come together again.

Another side note, I’ve been focusing on weight lifting a little bit more. I’ve been strengthening my knees especially since I want to jump down stairs still. I’m also working out my triceps a lot more. I’m trying to get stronger.

I’ve also found that a lot of people just leave their old wood from their cabinets on the ground for trash. I realized that I can use them for an art project. I think I can drop them on the Williamsburg Bridge meaning take the art that I make and put it there.

3. Looking forward to tomorrow. Looking forward to digitizing the skrrt logo, buying beanies for embroidery, withdrawing money to buy the camera, following up with the guy from the denim shop. It’s interesting how the compound effect works with focus. I’m glad that I met that woman almost a month ago. She really made me think about how I needed to start trying again. However, this time around, I’m doing my best to not burnout.

3 good things

1. Skated today. First time skating today and I could actually do tricks. I still have my ollies so I’m pretty happy about that. My new approach to skating right now is just to take it slowly and go back to the basics again.

2. I’ve been receiving a lot of packages. Mainly clothes. It’s been interesting to have a different kind of wardrobe rather than what I’ve been wearing since I was in 7th grade. So 2007 to 2020, that is 13 years of wearing skinny jeans/slim jeans. In 6th grade I remember wearing baggy jeans/ not really having style or much to go off of. Skating got me into caring what I wore besides my sister.

3. I’m really happy that I rediscovered this page called Madbury. It’s an oldish company from 2018 that doesn’t exist anymore. However, the style and a complete instagram post was modeled what is up above. I already used the first one, but wasn’t sure what I could use it for. I mean it can be used for multiple mediums, but this one fits perfectly. The 3rd one is probably my favorite. I’ve have to come back to the nike/ the adidas thing, but for the moment, happy with this.

   I think that’s enough for tonight. I think I’m getting a little sidetracked with designs, but at the same time, it’s something for my portfolio. But I do need to get back to the nike/adidas thing. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get back on it.

Very incomplete flat lay

3 good things

1. I bought a bunch of things. I bought a new skateboard deck, I bought 125 dollar jeans for some reason (they’re purple so a throwback to highs school), and I bought food today

2. I got to skate a little bit today at night after I went for a bike ride. Looks like my knee is at a good place again. I’m going to take it slow for skating.

3. The woman whom I’ve been chatting with for like a month now is intentional about responding to me which is nice. I feel myself wanting to try again for a relationship, but I don’t know

Up above I’m trying to do a flat lay which is something that I do quite often for work but for makeup. It’s interesting to apply what I usually do for work to this. I’ll work on it some more tomorrow. The point is that I tried something new.
