Grammys

What's good YB?! Hope everyone is getting off to a great start to the week!

I'll start here by saying there's nothing I hate more than people who hop on the internet and hate on other people! The only way you can EVER make a negative comment about someone publicly is if you can do what they do better than them. And, since I clearly can't sing or entertain like any of the people on the stage last night, this isn't me hating on them! This is just my opinion on a few things from the Grammy's last night..

For starters, Beyonce may be the best entertaining we've got right now. Homegirl puts on a SHOW! And she can actually SING!!! So many of your stars today CAN'T, and it's wack, but thats an entirely different discussion. Anyway, I enjoyed Beyonces performance and couldn't be happier for her for all of her success.

Secondly, what's good with Pink? I'm actually a Pink fan, and I enjoy her voice as I believe (like Beyonce), she's one of the few we've got that can carry a tune consistently. With that being said, she was in a sheet, swinging from the ceiling in a blanket, and some how got soaking wet through out the performance and was rocking a thong?! Word? Had me all kinds of confused. I guess to some people thats "art," but just seemed strange to me. Speaking of strange, hows everyone feel about Lady Gaga? I'll be the first to say, if I'm out somewhere and one of her songs comes on, more often then not I get my two step on. But, even she confuses me. I wasn't all that impressed with her vocals live last night, not to mention how crazy all of her outfits are? From the first thing I saw her wearing on the red carpet, to what she was wearing when she performed, to what she was wearing when she sat down, her outfits are OUT OF CONTROL! Where do we draw the line between pushing the envelop and being fashion forward, and just being straight up wack? I'll be the first to say I don't know where to draw the line, but I've got to believe she's damn near it..

What'd you think of the MJ tribute? Honestly, I was looking for a bit more! Don't get me wrong, the artist they had sing were all INCREDIBLE and did an amazing job with the song. But, after the slow song, I would have loved if Smooth Criminal, Beat it, Thriller or something along those lines came on and they had the best dancers of our generation come out and do MJ dances routines from the music videos!

Jamie Foxx and T-Pains performance was absolutely hysterical (especially the beginning).

Unfortunately, I fell asleep towards the end, but I'm catching up on what I missed tonight, so I may have a bit more insight later on this week!

On a completely different note, there were some pretty serious hoops performances on Monday (Kobe game winner, Lebron, Bosh). The Pro Bowl is an awkward game to watch isn't it? I don't blame those dudes for not getting after each other, they spend 15 weeks destroying their bodies, so the reward is a game at the end of the season (When they're all looking to vacation) where they can beat each other up more? Seems like it makes more sense to announce a Pro Bowl team, get a little bonus, and have NO game? I'm sure I'm not the first person to say that, just watching that game for a bit yesterday really made me think about it.

Anyway, I need to get a little more done before I shut it down for the day, so I'll talk to you all soon!

Random Stuff

YB! What's good? I know it's been a week or two since I've been able to jump on, so I apologize for the delay!

Things are good with me for the most part! Just training hard with the Zone Ready guys, traveling promoting my new K18 equipment line with STX, and starting to finalize all of my camp dates for the summer. It's been an awkward few days out here in California because it's been raining! Like hard pouring down rain, it's weird! That hasn't happened in my two plus years of living here. I guess it was bound to happen sometime though right? People here are driving all slow, staying home, not working..you'd think it was dumping snow the way this LA crew has responded to the rain.

Been watching hoops lately? I watched Lebron and D-Wade go at each other last night and that was some EXCITING stuff! Watching those two defend each other at the end of the game was one of the best match ups I've seen in the past few years. I know NBA players sometimes take heat for not playing defense until the playoffs, but after watching that last night, my trainer brought up a great point this morning. Could their bodies take playing hard, aggressive physical defense (and playing the same way on offense) for 81 games in a regular season? I'd have to think no, right? Guys would be injured all the time, bodies would be exhausted a lot, and there's no way you could battle at both ends of the court like that EVERY night. There are clearly exceptions (just like there always are), but overall, it's got to be physically impossible (for most) to play at that level at both ends of the courts on every night. Either way, I enjoyed watching it.

If you guys get a chance, my younger cousin Maxx Davis who plays at UMBC is writing a little column on my Playmaker website (PlaymakerLacrosse.com) and talking through his final season of college lacrosse! So to all you lax fans out there, check that out!

Who's going to win the Superbowl? Any predictions? I'm not thrilled that my Ravens are still up in the mix, but I'm slowly getting over it. Should be a good game between the Saints/Colts, though I'm still not sure who I'm rooting for.

Anyone else think this commercial is hilarious?

Since college lacrosse season is right around the corner, and most of our sponsored teams (STX) are wearing my new K18 equipment! I'm proud to see my Hopkins boys running playing on Saturdays wearing my stuff! Though I'm not an MD fan (our biggest rival in college), I've got to say that their K18 gloves came out HOT!!! Check these out below!

Have a great rest of the week, and I'll catch up with you all soon!!

LaxPrax Clip!

What's good YB!? I hope everyones gotten off to a solid start to the week!

I shot a video this morning using the new Lax Prax product and here's a brief clip from it! I'm very proud to be associated with the product and I truly believe it will change the way lacrosse players develop their stick work! Not everyone has access to a wall, and more importantly, no one wants to chase after a ball once it hits the wall awkwardly and goes 10FT over your head and takes off down the road! Check out http://www.laxpraxstore.com/ if you think the product looks cool, and I'll let you all know once the full video is done!!

Have a great day!!

Guest Blogger!!!!!! Maxx Davis from UMBC Lacrosse Team

Maxx, my little cousin who is a senior at UMBC will be writing a column on my Playmaker Lacrosse Website! I always wished I would have kept a diary, or blog or whatever you want to call it my final season in college, so I'm really interested to read what he puts together. So, he put his first post in yesterday and I figured I'd toss it up here as well! I'm proud of everything he's accomplished in his career and excited to watch him play in his final year in college! We write similarly, it's a bit awkward, but oh well. Here it is...

What up everyone? Happy New Year! The last few weeks for me have been pretty eventful to say the least. The holidays were a time for me to get away from school for a while and spend some quality time with the family. It was nice to have my cousin Kyle back in town from L.A. for a few days. I don't see him as much as I used to so having him around for the holidays was definitely a treat. Too bad it went by so quickly! It's funny getting older because some things, like Christmas, tend to sneak up on you. Two days before the best holiday of the year and I had done absolutely zero shopping, not that I had money to shop with...one of the perks of being a college student. Luckily, that wasn't the case for my mom and dad who got my brother Marrio and I some amazing presents! Anyone played that new DJ Hero game? I got that for Christmas and if you haven't played, scoop it up ASAP! One of the most fun games I've ever played. I also got a new pair of golf clubs which will come in handy once it starts to get a little warmer! Kinda hard to believe that its already 2010. This is the first decade I've lived through that I can actually remember! Kinda makes me feel old, but we all know that's not the case. My New Year's resolution was pretty simple: have no regrets. 2010 marks my final collegiate lacrosse season and I wanna go out on top with a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! The past few weeks for me have been work, work, work. We (UMBC) start practice on the 13th and I want to be in the best shape possible. In addition to working out, I'm currently taking a winter class for my major (Media and Communication Studies). It's called Desktop Publishing and the Web and yes, it is as hard as it sounds. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to make it through but i'll figure something out. Well that's about all I've got for now. I'm about to head to the gym and play some basketball with my teammates (great way to stay in shape by the way). I'll see you next week! Maxx

Happy New Year!!

YB!!!!!! Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had a great holiday and new year!!! I know I had a blast back in Baltimore with my family for about 10 days! I was able to catch up with some of my oldest (and best) friends, get some good home cooking from mama, and actually relax for a day or two!

It's crazy getting older and having all of these little kids running around my parents house! My two nieces and nephew were absolutely hilarious all week long! My nephew got this hilarious Batman cape which he proceeded to never take off, which was absolutely hilarious. I'll attach a picture of the little guy! I got a few good things for christmas from the family too! My girlfriend gave me an AWESOME watch case with my initials on it, so now I've got somewhere to put my watches! The past few years I've really gotten into watches, so it'll be nice to have a spot for them now! I got a new PSP from my parents, which will definitely make flying a bit easier these days. I somehow broke my last one a few months back, so I'm fired up to be back in the game. I definitely got some other good stuff, but this Christmas was all about the little ones, as it should be. One thing I had to make sure of was that the whole family was decked out in Nike kicks, even the babies! All in all it was an amazing holiday season back in Baltimore and I'm very thankful to have the family that I do.

Crazy to think it's 2010 huh? I was just thinking about it yesterday, 10 years ago I was about to graduate high school and head to Hopkins! A lot has happened in 10 years, more than I could have ever imagined! Where were you 10 years ago? Have things gone the direction you thought they would? 10 years ago I don' think I had much direction, but I'm VERY happy with the direction things have gone and the opportunities that have presented themselves.

In 2010 I'm determined to play as much lacrosse as I possibly can! I don't know if it was being injured all last summer that did it, but I find myself thinking about playing more than I ever have and I can't wait to get back on to the field. I'll be playing at the end of the month down in Miami at the Bump and Grind tournament which I'm fired up about, I'm playing club out here in L.A., and I'm finalizing a team for the Jam By the Sea tournament in April down in SD. There are a few other potential events I'll be playing in in between there as well, so I'll keep you updated! Either way, I'm trying to play as much as possible and have an absolute blast doing it.

Anything else new going on? Not too much on my end. I've got a lot of new music these days which is always nice. What'd you all think of the We Are Young Money CD that dropped over the holidays? I'm still not sure how I feel about it yet. I'm definitely a fan of some of the artist on the label, just not sold on all yet...either way, got the album bumping in the car as we speak, so I'm sure I'll come around. Did you guys see Avatar!?!?!?! Thats the best movie I've seen in awhile (and I see a lot of movies!!!)! I absolutely LOVED it! Looking forward to the sequel of that joint for sure.

Well, I need to get back at some work, but I'll be releasing my summer camp dates soon, so I'll be sure to get them up on the blog!!

Talk to you all soon!
