Black Holidays
Decided to flip our logo stickers and run a kool half-a-milli of them. I’m not putting them up for sale for a minute. But I am having around 50 of them thrown in for free with every order placed through our online shop. Buy anything and we’ll hook it up with some black logo stickers. Spread the 8!
I guess now would be an appropriate time to also wish you a Happy Holidays! Personally, I get really fucking weird around this time of the year. I’m just not a big Holiday guy. I find myself just going through the motions emotionless like I’m riding on auto-pilot.
However, I do spend a considerable amount of time reflecting on the past months. I judge my own actions, both good and bad, and figure out what I could have done better. Most times, it is never one big thing, like you probably shouldn’t have pounded that pint of beer immediately following an ice cream sundae. Although take note, do not do that, ever. It’s usually, at least for me, a deeper reflection of my character. I’ve always loved this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. He stated, “Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become deeds. Watch your deeds; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Character is everything.” Sit on that for a second. Real as shit, huh?
So how did I do this year? What could I have done better for REBEL8? I’m not just asking myself these questions throughout my days, I’m also asking you. And when I see you, please let me know. Some people talk a lot of talk and it remains just that, talk. But if I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting you, you know I am a man of action. My word is bond. And at the end of the day, it’s all I got.
See, REBEL8 is a brand with integrity. If I had none, how could I possibly own and run a company with any? I think that is the biggest misstep a lot of these other companies make. Not being true to who they really are. If you are a fake motherfucker, be a fake motherfucker. Keep it real. Haha! I’m just Joshing. I’m just serious.
Look, REBEL8 may not ever be the most popular brand or the richest company. I’m fine with that because I’ve always been fine with that. That’s never been my motivation. Since Day One, and now day number only God-knows, REBEL8’s core purpose is still to showcase our trademarked lifestyle through unique products. We are not a sales driven company. We’ve never been. It’s design first at REBEL8: always has been, and always will be.
And I can’t stress this enough. With your positive energy, with your contagious enthusiasm, and with your continued passion, we can’t be stopped!
THANK YOU for being part of my life and an integral component of what makes REBEL8 so amazing.
Enjoy these Holidays! Relax, smile and breathe. And if shopping makes the list, make that list full of REBEL8.
