Start of Football Season!!
What's good YB? I hope everyone's doing well.
I had a pretty crazy week in terms of travel last week. I flew from out west back to NYC for a Nike shoot on Wednesday, which was a lot of fun. It was hot running around in long sleeve Nike Pro on old school turf, but I'm not complaining. Being a part of Nike is a dream come true, so I'm pretty much up for anything they ask me to do. After the Nike shoot, I flew down to Baltimore to meet Joe Walters and head over to do a video shoot for STX and Laxxworld (a lacrosse specialty store). It's always fun to get to do things with your boys; only issue is you usually spend more time laughing. My boy Chazz Woodson (L.A. Riptide) was there doing some work for his sponsors, so it was good seeing him as always. I spent the weekend in town with my family and friends in Baltimore which was nice as I'm not planning on heading back there for a month or so.
Anyone catch Entourage last night? It was absolutely off the chains, which is it to be expected. It's going to be an amazing season; I'm fired up about it. The VMA's seem like their getting stranger every year. I liked last years with the Vegas theme, and concerts/performances pretty much going on the entire night in different rooms in the casino, but even that was tough to follow. Last night seemed weird to me, with the majority of the performances happening out back in the alley or something. Seemed strange. Remember like 4 or 5 years ago (maybe more then that) when Diddy, Usher and a few other cats performed and smashed it? I think they need to get back to that. Keep it all in the same area, keep the crowd going, and keep the energy going in the room. Just seemed so spaced out. Either way, it was entertaining. Oh yeah, I caught Prison Break last Monday and that was off the chains! I realized I've missed a bunch of episodes though; can anyone give me a quick recap? I read a little something about it online, but I didn't follow that too well. I watched season 2 of Hero's on my fight home yesterday and it was WACK compared to season 1. The premiere on the 22nd better be hot or I'm going to be pretty disappointed.
My Ravens got that W yesterday which was nice to see. Unfortunately I missed the entire game as I was on a flight back out west, but I heard our D played well and Flaco did his thing, so I'm excited about the season. Anyone catch Reggie Bush's shake on Sportscenter this morning? I felt bad for that dude having to attempt to make an open field tackle on Bush, that cat is entirely too quick. Hopefully Tom Brady's injury isn't season ending, I'm a huge fan and it's never a good thing when anyone get hurts, whether you're a fan or not of the team, or player.
One of the best (if not the best) lacrosse players in the world, John Grant Jr. had to undergo emergency surgery a few days back, and according to my boy (his teammate) he has a few more surgeries to go. I'm not exactly sure what the situation is, but we're all thinking about you man, and wish you a speedy recovery.
I'm at the airport about to fly to Portland to do a Nike shoot with Ryan Powell. It's a pretty hilarious concept, so when it's all done, I'll make sure to post it on here.
It should be a fairly relaxed week, which is a nice change of pace. I think I'm going to try and get my surf on a bit, but my surf game may be so wack now that I'm terrified to do it in front of other people, we'll see. We're heading to the USC vs. Ohio State game at USC this Saturday night, check me out on the USC sideline! Ha, well, you probably won't be able to see me, but I'll be there! It should be a lot of fun, and it'll be my first weekend home in Hermosa Beach in quite some time.
Alright, time to get up and get this shoot going. Have a great Tuesday and I'll catch up with you soon,
Kyle
