[jrmy]

Crap!

Wasn't he talking about taking a road trip? Maybe he's just temporarily out of e-mail contact.

[magiclawnchair]

i was wondering where he went as well...

last i heard of him we were supposed to be pen pals...

this is not good...

[tuffteef]

i was just watching his vlog yesterday too

weird

devi is correct, i have been flakey - and i have not sent them back yet. do i want or need 5 enclosures? no... i just havent been wanting go outside in the freezing cold to strip down pedals. so, while i have not sent them back, i do plan to. winter has just been shitty and i havent really gone outside at all. i assumed something like this would happen fairly soon, so im not surprised.

i am sorry winter hit so hard so fast, otherwise they wouldve been painted and sent back long ago.

so, im sorry. i cant really rectify the situation or whatever so if people want to bash me ( i know no one has so far, at least from what i can see) or not have me paint anymore (which i just cant right now anyways) im ok with it, its my fault. obviously i havent been active here lately.

just here to say that devi is telling the truth and im an asshole.

i will honestly get them stripped and shipped out tomorrow (if not today). if there is anything you want me to do to make up for it (that is reasonable) let me know and ill see what i can do.

i honestly appreciate the link to this thread, a lot of people who are mad wouldnt even give the person they are a mad at a chance. i understand i wont be painting for you anymore, i respect that. when the weather warms up, anyone who wants to send me stuff to paint can surely do so.

honestly. i think his work is amazing & i personally would love to have a heartben SM if that were possible.

seems like more youthful Midwestern procrastination than an abjectly blantant Fuck you Devi.

shower the people you love with love not hate.

peace.

good man

[magiclawnchair]

i would still be your pen pal...

glad you are ok!!!

[heartben]

totally cool everyone!

i dont like to think of myself as a flake but i flaked hard on this project.

and the midwest procrastination thing is super accurate.

and for the record if anyone read that stuff wrong, i am absolutely positively not upset with devi in ANY way. there is no real underlaying anger or anything beyond me not doing my job.ALSO- i would never steal anyones stuff. i REALLY like the people on this forum specifically.

so yeah. im still alive.

oh - btw - the pen pal thing for anyone who was part of that - i got ONE letter back from like the 4 i sent so i was depressed about it, although the one i got was awesome. im going to write that person back over the next few days and i have one persons addy in my message box ill try to write as well. (magicallawnchair i believe?)

i apologize to everyone!

thanks for not beating me up guys!! ilyilf

As long as there are still pyramids, you are forgiven. Good to see you didn't fall off the face of the earth.

Procrastination does not a well-run pedal business (nor sane devi) make.

Seriously though, iz all good...

...just as soon as I get those enclosures back.

devi-

maybe that's teh problem. teh disconnect. you run on a cold ruthless ayn rand hyper-capitalistic well-oiled machine ideal. teh heartben is a youthful ARTIST painting pedalz in his cold-ass garage. does teh heartben have a pedal-making MBA. no. teh heartben follows his heart & his heart fuels his art. teh heartben is not Gordon Gecko. teh heartben is Jasper Johns: IMO true art trumps commerce:

one must embrace the ying/yang of teh heartben. becuz there is beauty in teh heartben.
