Re: X Games, who is going?
Once again, you missed my point on the reps. I was not saying "look at me I talked to people"
I was saying, "are you familiar with all these little channels and hoops to jump through that are invariably different from one company to another?" because I was not, and it took me time to learn about these channels and rules and protocols. it's good I took the time to learn them, because jumping in totally rookie is a big mistake, you see how it worked for me with documentary filmmaking. I did not want to make the same mistakes i did before. I learned from that experience and tried to apply a different approach, a more methodical one.
Because of the way we started out getting along, like two cats in a duffel bag, I've said things to you I'd actually like to take back, just because it was me being pissy and not a good representation of who I am. But you make me feel put on the spot, and I start defending myself and what I can do. And I get mad. You're not perfect either, so why come at me like I'm supposed to be? I never will be, I'm a flawed human being.
I am capable of great things, so why not just give me the room to work, and hope I do a good job? People you like will benefit greatly if I succeed. Instead of acting like I'm some sort of pernicious blight. People like me who are willing to invest time and effort into promoting your sport are a good sign and a good thing.

Re: X Games, who is going?
It's hard for me to not be a bitch to you for some reason. 
I'm just so used to it.
ETA thanks, it was hard to admit you were right about some things. I didn't want you thinking you could break me down.
Because you CAN'T!! *spazzes out*

Re: X Games, who is going?
Oh, and while I'm feeling especially forthcoming about things, you know, it's harder for me to admit I don't know what I'm doing or I'm a little lost or whatever when I feel like someone is just going to use it against me.
But because of that I ended up misrepresenting how far into the process I was, and that was a stupid mistake.
But it wasn't because I wanted you to think I was doing things that i wasn't. I am doing those things, but I'm not done and nothing is "in the bag." I wish!
I just didn't want you to know how afraid I was of failing when you were already predicting it. So I came off like I think I can never fail. I don't think that. I'm just proud and stubborn and would rather kick someones *** than admit I don't want to fight.
If that makes any sense.
I can do this, and I am doing this, it's just taking a long time because I had to learn how first, and then for a while I just got hung up on thinking about it and being scared to pick up the phone.
I got past that though and have made a lot of progress, and have also compiled data that can benefit everyone here in terms of your best marketing strategies for mainstream competitive stunters. So i guess I have accomplished some things, and am always headed in the right direction lately.
I can't help on the street side, because I stand out like a neon "does not belong here" sign at the street level.

I never predicted or desired your failure, I just wanted you to go about it the right way, paying respects to the people who are in this game and know the ins and outs of it..

Re: X Games, who is going?
As much as Thomas and I have gone back and forth on stuntlife, this was probably the most appropriate conversation we've had.
Stunt 127, I can not help you with your reading comprehension issues, I'm sorry.

Re: X Games, who is going?
I wanted to do things my way, but I've since learned I can't do everything on my own.
I learned that all by myself.
