What has happened?

I just feel the need to write down some thoughts that have been stuck in my head for quite some time. No matter how much it is said, I still can’t believe how fast time is going and how quickly things change. Maybe we’re all destined to feel nostalgic at some point, but I can’t help but feel that way all the time. Starting this clothing line was fun, but I know it was started for the wrong reasons. I can’t say I regret it, because I don’t. However, this commitment took a toll on my wallet… at least for a 20 year old. Most people don’t understand what I gave up to start this line. Since I was about 15 I played paintball competitively. At 18 I traveled the country to play in national events. It was my life. Every dollar I made went to plane tickets, entry money, hotels, practice money. After the 2008 season, it was clear that there was no way to start this clothing line and have enough money to travel for paintball. So here I am, on my second season of hiatus and nothing to show for it. Looking at this line, I can’t say I’m pleased. The quality of everything is top notch, but I personally just don’t like my own products. The artists did an amazing job with the art. I’m just not the type to wear bright colors. I’ve made countless mistakes with this line. I’m not angry or upset about them because I’ve learned so much and just gained more motivation and experience. With that being said, I won’t be closing down the line, but I will be doing a rebrand and that includes a name change (more information about that soon to come). I’d just like to share with anyone that might be keeping up with this brand or blog that all the new stuff will strictly be designs that I want to wear. I think my passion for the rebrand will be self explanatory upon its release. I’ve done some growing up in the past year and I hope these new ideas and experimenting with new designers pays off. I may not be able to play paintball for a few more years, but with this new line at least I’ll be able to sponsor the team I played for and still be involved with them, which is what I miss most. I apologize for the sloppy post. My brain is all over the place right now.
