Hear me out

Now before you jump to any conclusions, understand this is something I've wanted to do for a while, but in all honesty didn't know how to go about it. This is by no means me joking around and or trolling. For those who know me, know I have a strong passion for not only the ski industry, but the street wear/ fashion scene as well. I've worked in the ski industry for a couple years now, and now hope to be moving into the fashion realm of retail. My knowledge in both this areas is deep, and most of the time I find myself lending a helping hand. But there are those times when I come off as negative. And this is what this whole thread is about.

If you knew me in person, not just from online, you'd know i'm caring, positive, and very passionate about things. By no means am I negative to anyone or would ever try to hurt the feelings of someone or make them feel any less of themselves. So from this day forward I will not be posting ANYTHING that is mean, negative, or anything of that nature. I want my name on here to reflect the individual I am on a day to day basis. I genuinely feel bad about the way I've treated some of you, and you know who you are. I offer in return the chance for those people to PM me and let me make it right. I don't intend on changing my name or hiding from my past, I rather correct my wrongs, and continue to have people recognize me by my name, Hoffman. Life is too short to be negative, even if it's just me joking around. After a few comments I've written to people I've sat back and really felt bad. No one deserves to be talked down to, whether they are right or wrong. What I'm going to do from now on is try to help and inform everyone, but never in a negative light. I want to be recognized for being helpful, knowledgeable, but most importantly pleasant. Because in all honesty that's what truly defines me. I hope everyone who reads this truly understands.

Sincerely,

Hoffman

Caspaa I want to send you some free stuff. I didn't want to single you out, but I feel the worst about the way I've treated you. Hit me up and well figure it out.
 
lets keep this thread clean on "cool story bro" and "did not read LOLZ". This is serious, and I want people to understand. Thanks I appreciate it
 
word to life being too short for negativity man. cleanse your life of it. good luck getting serious responses on ns though.
 
thank you man. And it's not that I'm negative all the time, because I'm not. It's just rare instances on here were I act negatively for whatever reason and I'm done with that. I never do that in "real life" and I don't want my name to carry that light
 
you'd be surprised. But more importantly I care, and just want others to know how I feel bad about things I've done in the past. Let's keep this positive. Thanks
 
What did you do? Like torture kids on here or something? Im sure you are no worse than most members on here on a normal basis, haha.
 
Thanks man, I went to ithaca too btw. Get out there and do some gorge jumping for me. I miss that jump onto the cement platform then into the water :)
 
you really shouldnt have made the thread, I think most people understand that the way someone acts on here is usually not the same as they are in real life.

however It is nice to see your effort, but I dont think it will happen. You will get pissed at someone and go off on them, it is human nature.
 
See, the thing is I won't. I don't allow that to happen in every day life, so there is no reason I allow it to happen on here. If anyone wants to hit me up personally for whatever reason feel free to PM.

Hoffman
 
It's a nice idea what you're doing, and it's great that you've decided to change, but truly humble people don't go around letting others know "look at me! I'm good!"

No, the people who truly are good are the ones who act in a positive way (like you've promised to) without looking for ANY recognition, acknowledgement, or attention. People in this world who are considered heroes did not proclaim to the world "I'm now going to be a hero!!!!!", they just did so silently because that's what selflessness is.

So good on you, but this thread was completely unnecessary.

 
I enjoy a lot of higher end Japanese names, bape, visvim, and wtaps are just to name a few. For me the quality, feel, and exclusivity of the product does it for me. Along with some of the collabs they do I really like from basic surf wallets all the way to one they did recently with undefeated.
 
Thanks for reading Katie. For me it's just that I want my personality online to directly resemble who I am in person. That's all. I just feel like I've said some things in the past that don't match up for me, and wanted to apologize to those I said negative things to.

Seriously? The three Bape shirts I bought in New York a couple years ago were garbage quality, I'm glad there is a large concentration of Hypebeasts in Toronto that were more than happy to snatch em up. Visvim on the other hand has impeccable textiles. I own a pair of their work boots and absolutely adore them. Japanese denim is prime also. Best denim in the world IMO.
 
Hey I appreciate it. I guess it took a lot of guts because now you have a word to live up to! Good luck with everything eh
 
yeah, its not that I'm changing my personality one bit, I just want my online comments to match up with my real attitude, and in the past it hasn't always been the case. I appreciate the support, thanks :)
 
Thing is though, i'm not. I'm just going to keep it real. I went out of my way to be an asshole at times. No more
 
You were fucking hilarious when you were a dick. But i understand the lifes too short for negativity. +K For trying to be serious on NS. Some people can not comprehend how to do so sometimes..
 
I have hit up Patty and Caspaa is being taken care of. Just trying to make things right with people guys. Thanks
 
i gotta be honest, he did

HOFFM@N pissed me and many other NSers off like it was his job, and (i'll be honest, no hate though) he did go out of his way to do so quite often.

regardless, HOFFM@N, good on you for turning it around and i hope to see you live up to this. while your love for Supreme gets on my nerves a bit (as does anybody's love for Supreme), i believe you can contribute a lot to this site.

apology accepted on my end
 
I've just come to realize that being hilarious at the expense of another person isn't worth it. Especially because it's something I wouldn't do if you knew me or what I'm about.
 
thanks for the support. Its just not who I am. I had some good laughs, but I just thought about the people it was effecting. Felt bad
 
This is not the time to be talking about the yeezy's. This is about people knowing im going to keep it 100 now. NO trolling or negative comments ever again.
 
Ohhhhhh the Yeezy kid! Haha I couldn't remember who you were. But anyways, stop talking about clothes like they're some complicated exhibition. It sounds douchy
