Something has been on my mind as of late: we don't do enough around here.
Yeah, the blogs are good, and the releases are okay. But the video blogs all but left and so did some of the randomness we put out on social media.It doesn't feel like Hungry Human anymore,at least not to me.
I'll share a bit with you guys,I was trying to see what it was like to be 'corporate' for a bit.
Essentially, when you make money or try to, you become this non-entity...you hire a professional,team,or some subset of weird ambassadors to do your bidding, then hover in the background while they spit whatever propagana you coached and paid them to all the while protecting them from any pitfalls with steady guidance and the power of attorney.
I tried that for a little bit...the slow,quiet, monotonous stuff...and all it really yielded was this air of ,well--- suckiness.
I hate to say it, but Hungry Human wasn't made with profit in mind, it was made with passion, emotion,and hope of improving the quality of product and energy of those around us.
I was so darned worry about who was copying our stuff poorly or pretending to be us on social media one week that I might forget to do something like....be myself..and talk to you guys like we've always been doing.
Basically, the brand started to suck because I was that kid who stopped writing anything on his test papers because all the dumb kids were copying it badly and getting better grades...sounds dumb... but essentially that last sentence is the embodiment of streetwear. Someone copies someone and then someone else responds with something...usually stemming from said copy.
As cruddy as that sounds..people make millions doing it if they do it well and if it looks easy, someone derpier than the last person comes along and takes that old jaloppy of thought and tries to make it work for them.
You get to see a lot of whacky stuff happen from all that I've mentioned and despite some people knowing the struggle, there's probably a ton less that don't know anything.
The thinking originally was the less you knew, the easier it would be to get along with people or keep things manageable. But, it's kind of passed that point and we're at a different place.
I'm not a bad guy I don't think, but it seems like you guys really like hearing the entire story more than just the good sometimes...so, I get it now and will try to oblige with more of EVERYTHING that's going on.
With all that said, sorry for not always sharing 100, but that's tough and this is the internet. You're bearing everything, and hoping for the best... or something close.
Anyways, we'll end this rant with : expect more content, and also: your stuff is on the way.
This is partially in regards to the preorders, but also might be alluding to something else. So, get on the mailing list if you're not already and stay tuned. Thanks for being awesome. Thanks for being real and the support as well! -h_h-
Last time I was trippin' this hard,Morpholio came out... so this might be a good thing for you guys...*hint*
Try Hard, Never Settle, Stay Hungry -h_h-
