ughhh, shoe royalties are something I paid life dues for. I guess if collecting something that's owed to me is greedy or selfish than that's not a problem.
It's not that I'm about me. It's more like... "cut the crap, we're not family" "I skate for you and you pay me". It's more like a cut to the chase thing.
By the way, when I have something to give I give. During the La earthquakes who do you think was fucking up his week old Rodeo to haul shit away for the red cross? Who do you think drove out to ederly couples homes to reorganize their belongings? When I rode for deluxe I'd go down there a lot and sometimes I'd go there to just get boxes of defected wheels to give away. I'd do this even if that's my sole purpose of going there. If the wheels were gummy I'd give them another pair. I may be alot of things but a me-me-me has never been one of them.
For the record, you ASSUME Ronnie is a nice guy, which he is, and that's why I didn't even suspect anything shady out of him, but because of his horrid designs Nadia failed, and in failing he also failed me and my dream of collecting money on something I worked on for a lifetime. That said, I think it's not a big deal that I'm saying Ronnie can't design for shit.
