i was at the airport the other morning watching surfers from all over the world arriving. the young ones having to lug around huge board bags, deal with rent-a-cars, and all the hassle. and to think i still do that after 25 years trips me out.
i was looking for a good pair of sunglasses. my dream was always to get a maui jim sunglass but because i had sponsors for most of my life, i couldn’t wear them. now that i’m a free bird, i’ve been looking around. brand new costs over $300 and that’s just way to expensive for me. so what do i do? i look online in the hawaii classified ads. this guy selling these for $125 and it’s brand new. i call him, i meet him last night, and i buy it. he’s happy, i’m happy, so that makes everybody happy!
this was 6 years ago halloween. i was a guy from the 80’s. or maybe a pimp or something. holli was and will always be an angel, russ was batman? bobby was michael jackson? this year is going to be interesting.
and last, i watch the news and see people getting famous from youtube videos that get thousands of hits. i see girls getting sponsored for getting 1,000,000 hits on their videos. i see videos after videos making so much money selling ads. for me, i’ve always been doing it for love. just want to push my friends and want people around the world to enjoy hawaii and japan. anyway, i just checked out my youtube account and was tripping out when i seen the numbers.
VIDEO VIEWS: 8,560,098
SUBSCRIBERS: 3,029
OMG! 8.5 Million views? if i got a dollar per view, i’d be $8.5 million rich! haha. i still walk around and people recognize me from the videos. Business Marketing was my major for college and i bet my professors would be proud of me. in fact, i bet at least one of them seen one of my videos already. haha.
check out my number 1 video over 4 million people in the world watched. if you’re in this video, you’re probably famous by now.
