Random Thoughts (a lot of them)

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:37:00 -0500

YB!!!! What's good?! I apologize for only writing once last week. I meant to jump back on and write about a few things!

Anyway, hope the weekend went well and that the week got started right! I know I mentioned that I was apart of the 40 man training roster for the US Training team the past few months, and last week they announced the final 23 guys and I wasn't on the list. Now, clearly, I was disappointed, but the selection is completely out of my control. I was proud to be a part of the 40 man Training Roster, and though I wasn't selected for the final 23 guys, I'm confident that the guys that did will go over to England next summer and bring the Gold medal back where it belongs. Pumped up for my boys Max Seibald, Paul Rabil, Stephen Peyser, Joe Cinosky Drew Westervelt and Brendan Mundorf! Go to work fellas! I was fortunate enough to be part of the las US National Team (2006), so this is by no means the end of the world, just part of the game. Now it's time to get my off-season work outs going with my trainers, stay positive, work on getting my shot off quicker out of my dodge, and get ready to GO TO WORK next year for Denver!

Any of you all seen This is It? I'm hoping you all have! I've heard AMAZING things and I'm a HUGE MJ fan, have been seen since I was a baby and my parents would put on his music videos for me to fall asleep to. Either way, I promised Meredith I'd go with her, and I've been on the road and she's been on location working so we haven't gotten a chance yet! But, I think tomorrow is the night! Can't wait.

Weezy fans out there? Seen the trailer for his new documentary? Looks pretttttttty serious. More importantly, heard No Ceilings? I honestly think it may be better than Drought 3, which is the best mix tape I've ever heard. Interested to know everyone else's opinion on the situation.

Any thoughts on hoops thus far? Because of coast to coast travel, I haven't been able to watch as much as I'd like, but I'm liking how Nash is playing. Dropping dimes all over the place. Always exciting to see a dude of that size control the entire game WITH OUT scoring. Caught a bunch of Syracuse highlights this morning and those cats are ATHLETIC! Talking about running the floor! They'll literally run people into the ground this year with out a doubt.

You guys read ESPN Magazine? I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before here, but I'm a HUGE fan of the column called Player X. They've got dudes in the NFL writing a column about all the stuff that NO ONE talks about, definitely giving HUGE glimpse into the lives of these dudes. Some CRAZY stuff goes down with out a doubt.

Thats about all I've got for now!

I need to get some work done, but I'll get at you all a bit later!!

LXM Pro Tour

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:06:43 -0500

What’s going on YB!! Hope the week is going well!

As I mentioned last week, I wanted to write and fill you guys in on the new project I’m involved in out here in L.A.! It’s called the LXM PRO Tour and I couldn’t be more excited about it! LXM 949 (SoCal, first stop of the tour) is the first lacrosse event that will highlight 40 of the best players in the world, and be followed by a HUGE performance by Akon! As lacrosse players, our main goal is to continue to push our sport in the right direction towards the other mainstream sports! The first of these events will be in Orange County on November 21st (LXM 949).

There are so many different components through out the day that will bring in different crowds to get a look at our great sport, and hopefully create some new lacrosse fans! For starters, there will be an on field casting call sponsored by Sports Studio Casting, in search for young athletic actors to be cast in upcoming Hollywood productions. Shortly after that, there will be a lacrosse clinic powered by Team STX (Joe Walters, Anthony Kelly, Sean Morris, and Stephen Brooks) where all kinds of new skills will be taught, there will be cool give-a-ways, contest, raffles, poster signing and all kinds of other cool stuff! After the clinic, there will be an MCLA game between Chapman and UCSB, which will definitely be an entertaining game! Both teams have a lot of talented players and will certainly put on a good show. Once the club game is over, the Pro’s are taking the field! We’ve got some of the top talent in the world to come showcase their talent and compete against each other! Guys like Mickey Jarboe, John Walker, Jake Byrne, Mikey Powell and lots more! When the Pro game is over, the night will be capped with a BLOW OUT CONCERT by Akon! It’s going to be an AWESOME DAY in Organe County! Check out www.LXMPRO.com for more information!

Thus far, it’s been amazing being a part of the whole creative process, and then to actually see it all coming together in the past few weeks has been incredible. I truly do believe this event will help to push our game in the right direction and force the country to recognize what a great sport we’re all apart of! I’ve gotten a lot of comments on my Facebook wall or twitter account with people liking the concept, and some people thinking it’s bad for our sport. Bottom line, anytime you start something new, there are going to be people who dislike what you’re doing, or hate on it for no apparent reason. But the people who say this is bad for our sport, or will set our sport back, clearly don’t really love the sport of lacrosse or, are just plain old haters (which I love, keep it up). We’re a group of guys who absolutely LOVE the sport of lacrosse and are doing everything we can to help make our sport more garner more national attention, and help to brand the best personalities in our sport! By combining music, a talent search, and some of the best lacrosse players in the world, we think we’re going to be able to create some new lacrosse fans and create some amazing events across the country! Add the fact that our first event is in a market like Los Angeles, and we’re going to hopefully create a great buzz for our sport!

I’ll attach a few of the flyers for the event, and as I said earlier, check out LXMPro.com for details of the event!

I’ll talk to you guys later this week!

Hoops This Week!!!!

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:14:07 -0500

What's crackin' off YB?!?!

Anybody else crazy excited for the start of the NBA season this week?! I CAN'T WAIT! Been waiting for this for months!! See the new Jordan brand commercial? Break to Build? If not, Youtube that joint ASAP! Crazy to see that D-Wade got scooped up by Team Jordan, happy to see him with CP3, Jeter and Melo in that commercial with out a doubt. Anyone had a chance to read the new SLAM with Shaq and Lebron on the cover? Pretty solid NBA preview in there, I enjoyed it. Also, the Hall of Fame tribute to Jordan (SLAM) has the best Jordan article I've ever read written by Scoop Jackson. It's called "Are You There God? It's Me, Scoop Jackson." I've never read an article where the author was literally able to capture the feeling that I'm certain EVERY basketball fan has felt at some time about MJ. Awesome article, and I'm planning on framing it! Definitely worth checking out if you get a chance!

My weekend was pretty busy as I was in 4 different states in 3 days. I was in Seattle on Thursday night for an event to promote the new K18 equipment line, so that was a lot of fun and I got some great feedback on the equipment line. Then, I headed to San Fran on Friday morning for another K18 promotional event and had a blast there with some GREAT kids and a great retailer (Sling It). Then, Sat morning it was off to Denver to play a scrimmage with the Outlaws (MLL team) against DU, which was a lot of fun. I played terrrrrrrribly as I had a new stick and couldn't figure out how to throw or shoot with it, so I kept throwing the ball all over the place! But, Drew Westervelt (Outlaw attackmen) KILLED it as usual and had 7Gs! So, we won and it was a great day of lacrosse in Denver.

There's a new project involved out here in LA called the LXM PRO Tour! I'll be dedicating the my next blog this week to explaining what a cool and exciting project LXM is! In the mean time, check out LXMPRO.com and learn a little bit about the tour! I can't wait for our first event on November 21st! Going to be awesome!

I'm around Marina Del Rey all week, which is exciting as I haven't been home for an entire week in quite some time! Going to be able to get a bunch of solid work outs in with the trainers and get a lot of work done, definitely a good feeling. We've got our last weekend of US Training team work outs coming up this weekend in Stony Brook, and then the final 23 guys will be selected next week sometime. It's been a lot of fun being a part of the US process again and being with all of the guys. All 40 guys on the training team are talented enough to be on the squad, so it's going to be a tough team to pick for the coaches.

Scooped up a few movies this week, Transformers (2), The Proposal, and Wolverine: Origins, so my flights have been entertaining for the most part!

That's about all I've got for now! Need to get a little work done before hooping in a few hours! I'll catch up with you all in a day or two!

Have a GREAT Monday!

Back in L.A.

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:53:36 -0500

YB!!!!! What's the deal?!

I hope everyone's Monday is going well. I landed in L.A., from Annapolis last night at about 1:45am, so I'm exhausted! But, life goes on, stuff to do, things to catch up on, you know how it goes!

I had a pretty solid weekend back east with the US Training Team. I got in on Thursday night and was able to head over to my parents house and catch up with them which was great. Happy Birthday Dad! My dad turned 60 on Saturday, so it was definitely a good thing being able to see him on the big b-day weekend. On Saturday, the US Training squad practiced with the Navy team, which was a lot of fun. Navy's got some great players and is clearly one of the most respected programs in the country. Saturday evening, we had a reception with the 74' and 78' US teams, so it was great to be around all of those great players. Not to mention the food at the reception was OFF THE CHAINS. Sunday, we split the training team (41 guys) into two teams and played MD, Navy and UVA. It was good to play and get up and down. All of those programs are going to have huge years, as they all have a lot of talented players. We've got one more weekend of US training team camp which will be at Stony Brook on October 30th.

Unfortunately, my travel doesn't slow down too much this week. I'm heading to Seattle on Thursday to do some K18 events, then to NorCal for some K18 events on Friday night, and then flying right to Denver on Saturday morning because the Denver Outlaws (my pro team) are playing DU's team, so that should be a lot of fun! I'm fired up as it will be the first time I get to play in a game and WEAR MY OWN EQUIPMENT!!!! Wooohooo! The pro league isn't sponsored by STX or Nike, so I'm never able to actual wear my equipment in a real game situation. But, this Saturday will be the first time I toss on the new K18 line and get my lax on! I know, seems small, but I'm pretty excited about it.

Anything new going on with you guys? I wish I had some more to report, not too much new with me. I'm settled into my apartment which is great. I got a bunch of new LIVESTRONG and TIger Woods Nike apparel in the mail a few days back, so thats always exciting stuff.

I got two songs I'm into right now...I can Transform ya (Chris Brown, Weezy), and What a Catch (Fall out boy), that I CAN'T stop listening to for some reason. I saw the music video for What a Catch last week at my parents house and instantly liked the song. Also, check out the Drop It Low video (Ester Dean featuring Chris Brown), it's a good one as well.

I know there have been far more educated baseball people who have written about this already, but how ridiculous is A-rod? Honestly, it's getting a little out of control how clutch homeboy is. I'm not even into baseball, but I've definitely enjoyed watching playoff baseball, especially the Yankee's. I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon and go as far to say I'm a fan, but it's been entertaining for sure.

That's about all I've got, need to get some work done!

Catch up with you all soon!

K18 Release!!!

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:22:25 -0500

YB!

My bad for being out of touch last week, I was bouncing around all over the place! Last week I was in Texas, Austin and Dallas....it was A LOT of fun and very productive, but I was EXHAUSTED last weekend when I got back!

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about the release of the new K18 line!!!! In ATL, Breakaway (lacrosse retailerS), was nice enough to come out to my camp at Milton High School with all of the new equipment to show the kids! Seeing all the new stuff all packaged up and being sold is an amazing feeling. Thinking back to a a year and a half ago when this whole creative process started, I can't believe we finally got it done! As I've mentioned to you all before unlike my last line (I just graduated and we had a quick deadline), with this line, I was involved from the very beginning to the end and it was an experience I'll never forget.

Depending on what area you're in, you've GOT to get by a store and check it out!!!! If you're in the SoCal area, get by SouthSwell, in NorCal, Sling It, in Baltimore, Laxworld, and in NY, check out Lacrosse Unlimited!

I've got more to shout at you all later about! Need to go get some work done!

Still depressed about my Ravens yesterday....

Talk to you all tomorrow!!

Food with an awkward Texture

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:55:18 -0500

What's goooooood YB?! I hope all is well!

I wanted to hop on and write on Monday, but I've been CRAZY busy moving into my new place in Marina Del Rey! It's coming together NICELY! I'll definitely post a blog later this week or early next week with pictures of the new spot! I'll attach one pic I took last night when I was walking out back to the pool area! it's SICK!

My weekend went well for the most part, just A LOT of lacrosse! We had US training team practice, so it was GREAT to get back out on the field with the fellas and play a bit. The way they're putting together this team is different then they've done in the past. Basically, 84 guys tried out for the team at the beginning of the summer, and from that, they picked 40 guys to be a part of the US Training team for the fall. We've got 3 weekends to play together/against each other, and then the coaching staff will pick the 23 with the best chemistry! Seems like a pretty smart way of doing it to me with out a doubt. Clearly, all the guys are talented enough, it's about finding the guys that play the best together and running with it! I had a blast this past weekend playing, and I look forward to the weekend of Oct 17th when we get to play together again back in Annapolis.

So, random title of this post, I know. I was sitting on the plane thinking and I've missed out on SO many GREAT foods in my life because I get weirded out by foods with strange textures! Anybody else deal with that sometimes? For 22 years of my life I DIDN'T eat guacamole because it looked like the strangest most awkward texture EVER. So, I stayed away. Same thing with Creme Brulee! That pudding looking texture along with that gross looking crust on top kept me away. Same situation with cheese cake, stuffing, and SO many more foods. You all ever had that problem?! Now, I'm obsessed with Guac, can't stop eating Crem Brulee, and while I haven't turned the corner completely with cheese cake, I'm headed that direction. I know, random thought, but I know refused to eat certain foods for the longest time simply because they looked gross, and they ended up being OFF THE CHAINS! So! I was wandering if anyone else has dealt with that?!

That's about all I got for now...I've got a CRAZY weekend coming up with a Playmaker program this weekend in ATL, then heading to Austin Texas Sun-Weds to promote the new K18 line with South Swell (local lacrosse retailer)!

I'll catch up with you guys later!

Short Length

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:43:31 -0500

YB! What's the deal?! I hope the week has gone well. It's Thursday and I've got a BIG weekend coming up as I'm heading back to West Point for the USA training squad practice this weekend! We've got practice and a scrimmage on Saturday, and another practice on Sunday, so I can't wait to get on the field. It's been awhile since I've played and actually been %100 healthy, so I'm looking forward to it.

Anyway, once again, at the gym yesterday, I saw something that was a bit troubling to me and felt the need to hop on here and make sure we're all on the same page about a few things.

European soccer players have made it cool/fashionable to wear smaller/shorter bathing suits. Dudes like Beckam and Cristiano Ronaldo rockin' lil trunks showing off their legs...and chances are if my legs were making me 250 million dollars, I may show these joints off too! So, while I'll don't condone a speedo, if you want to shorten up the length of your bathing suit, more power to you, I get it. I guess keeping it gangster on the beach/pool in ridiculously baggy shorts isn't all that cool anymore, or so I'm told.

Either way, what is NOT acceptable, is to bring those little tiny shorts into a gym setting! NO ONE is trying to watch you do squats or lunches or sit ups in those tiny joints! I don't care if you're at the pool, and then just come right to the gym, we all know gyms have changing room and you can delay your work out for 2 minutes to throw on some longer shorts, and make everyone else's work out experience a bit better. If you've got on those little thigh huggers, and you're asking people for a spot on the squat rack and no one is responding, now you know why.

I feel like everyday I go to the gym I can find a new thing to write about! Someone needs to write a book about proper gym behavior ASAP, or I'm going to!

So if you're planning on posting up at the pool/beach, and want to rock a shorter bathing suit (NOT a speedo), do you, no one is hating on you being proud of your legs. But if you're going into the gym to get your lift on, be a good sport and toss on some longer shorts, because if you don't, not only will you NOT be able to get a spot, but I gurantee 70% of people in the gym are joking you.

Have a GREAT Thursday and I'll catch up with you guys soon!

First weekend home

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:54:49 -0500

YB!!!!! What's really good?!

I hope the week is going well for all of you guys! My week has been a busy one, but productive, which is always nice. I've been trying to play as much lacrosse as possible, thats for sure. Being hurt all season, I feel like I haven't played in FOREVER, so with the USA training camp stuff coming up next weekend back at West Point, I feel like I need to be hitting the wall every day, shooting every day, and doing as many 1 vs. 1's as possible. Lucky for me, Chapman (GREAT club program), is only about a thirty five minute drive from my place so I can head down there a few times a week and bang around with those guys. It's been super helpful, but I can't wait to get back on the field with all of the guys next weekend and compete.

I wish I had some new and exciting news to share...Oh yeah, I do have some exciting news! I'm moving up to Marina Del Ray in a little over a week! Yup, moving out of the Hermosa Beach/Manhattan Beach area and moving north a little bit! I know, not all that exciting for you all, but definitely an exciting move for me. What I'm NOT excited about is the actual process of moving. Thank god my girlfriend has been great about shopping for the new place, because I don't have ANY patience at all with that stuff! It frustrates and annoys me for some reason. Plus, there is entirely too much to choose from, which isn't fun to deal with as well. So, she's been great about that! Hopefully all my boys won't sketch out come moving day and help me carry stuff down to the UHAUL trucks!

I know everyone is going crazy about what Kanye did at the VMA's, and it was clearly a bad decision and he realizes that. But, what's been overlooked is what the h*ll was Lil' Mama doing!?!?!?!? She just randomly jumped up on stage with Hov and Alicia Keys like she was supposed to be a part of the performance!!!! At the time, I was mad confused because I figured the whole thing was planned. So, the next day when I found out home girl just was feeling the performance, was seated near the stage and just wanted to be a part of it, so she jumped up there, I couldn't believe it!!!!! Had Kanye not acted the way that he did, the story of the night would have definitely been Lil Mama jumping on stage for sure. Had me absolutely rollin'.

Any one got big plans for the weekend? This is my first weekend home for the fall, so I'm going to take advantage of it. Make sure to get a few work outs in, and a bunch of shooting, but definitely going to get some beach and football in as well!

That's about all I got for now, I need to get back on my grind and get some things done! I'll catch up with you guys soon!

Don't Be That Guy (or Girl)

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:26:58 -0500

OK YB, I feel like I may have written abut this before, but I’m not certain. I know for a fact that I’ve thought about it a number of times and after an experience at the gym last week, I feel like it’s time to put a certain group of people on blast. This could be a girl just as easily as a guy, but I don’t play much pick up hoops with the ladies, so I have never had a bad experience playing hoops with the ladies.

There are thousands of gyms across the country where at some point every day a group of guys come to play pick up basketball. Some gyms are clearly better than others, some players are better than others, but the one thing that remains consistent through out ALL of these gyms is that EVERYONE IS THERE TO PLAY PICK UP BASKETBAL. It’s a recreational activity!!!!!! So, while some guys like to make sure they’ve got on matching shoes, head band, wrist band, socks and others like to toss on a elbow sleeve as if they were Carmello Anthony or Iverson heading into game six, most people are just there to get a little work out in, have fun, and maybe even make a basketball or two.

Now, there’s something that’s come to my attention on numerous occasions and what happen last week when I was hooping was one of the worst I’ve seen. I’ll admit, I play at a pretty competitive gym in L.A., where there are referees and games are 13 minutes long, so it’s more intense then most pick up games. With that being said, it’s NOT the NBA, it’s NOT Euro League, it’s NOT the D league or anything else like that.

EVERY single game we play, there’s at lest 3 calls that a dude flips out about, punts the ball to the other end of the court, cusses the referee out, gets up in someone face, holds on to the ball and doesn’t let the game start back up again, and any and every other ridiculous action you can think of. I’ve seen it at every gym I’ve ever played at. DON’T BE THAT GUY!!!!! I’m going to go ahead and say 9 times out of 10, they are COMPLETELY off base and wrong about whatever their arguing, and more importantly, 10 times out of 10, EVERYONE IN THE GYM IS LAUGHING AT YOU. There’s NOTHING wrong with being competitive, most dudes that are playing picking hoops are, but to act like a 3 year old throwing a tantrum is easily one of the most embarrassing things I’ve seen happen., and like I said, it happens every single time I play.

So, to all you pick up hoopers out there, please, DON’T BE THAT GUY.

Fanarchy Vid's

YB! Hope the Wednesday is going well! I shot a few vid's for Fanarchy a few weeks back and I just got a few of them!

The second one is easily one of the dumber things I've done in awhile and the first one is the video that was actually used!

Mental Side of an Injury

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:06:27 -0500

YB! What's crackin?! I hope everyone has had a good start to the week!

I wanted to reach out and talk about something I've been one, getting a lot of questions about recently, and two that I've been personally dealing with for about 3 months now!

I've never been seriously injured before so when I went down earlier this summer, I figured it would simply be rehab, rest, and then I'd jump right back on the field and pick up right where I left off. And that's NOT the case at all. I'd say an injury is more mental than it is physical. In working on with my trainers the past few months I've noticed that they're constantly trying to get me to push the fact that I was injured OUT of my head. You see athletes get hurt all the time in the NFL, MLB, and NBA and hear them speak about their injuries and recovering, but you don't really understand the process until it actually happens to you.

My biggest thing to overcome thus far has been thinking about the injury while playing. The problem with thinking about an injury while playing is that is messes with EVERYTHING else. It makes you second guess a movement or trying to make a play that you're used to making, and all of a sudden you're NOT the confident player that you once were. It's tough to swallow, and you can be the be the most mentally tough athlete in the world, but once you're injured, you start to question things, it's just part of the process.

However, I'm happy to say that I am 100% healthy now, and back to training as hard as I possibly can. Back in the summer of 2008, I was playing my best lacrosse I've ever played, seeing the field differently than I ever have and feeling as confident as I ever have. So, the plan starting last week is to work until I get back to that level again, and push all thoughts about any injury out of my head. Can't wait to get back out on the field and compete next summer at full strength.

I need to go grab some lunch and get ready for my trainer in an hour or two, but I'll check in later this week with a video!!

Talk soon,

Summer Recap!

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:47:05 -0500

What's crackin' YB?! I'm sitting on my flight across the country back to LA from Championship weekend in Annapolis. I'm actually sitting next to Maya (the singer), but I haven't come up with anything to say to her yet...I'll keep you posted though..

Anyway, I wanted to write and give a recap of the summer as it's definitely been a crazy one. For starters it was a very disappointing season with my injury with out a doubt. I've never really been seriously injured before, and it's jut as much mental as it is physical. As you know, I got hurt in the 2nd quarter of the 3rd game of the season and wasn't the same since. I think I missed 7 games total. I am very proud of my team and what we were able to accomplish this year with out a doubt, I just wish I could have done more to contribute. It felt great to get back into a flow on Saturday in the Semi finals, but on Sunday, we weren't able to play our best game and give Toronto credit, they did what they needed to to get a W. The tough thing is I basically missed an entire season, so I'm still ready to play! Fortunately, we've got USA training camp try outs coming up late September, so I've got to stay healthy, continue to rehab my hammy and get ready for those. I'm confident that our Denver squad will be back next year and ready to get this thing done. It was nice to play in Baltimore and have my family, girlfriend and close friends at the games as well. Always nice to play in front of the hometown fans.

I can say I'm certain that my body wasn't ready for two games back to back, thats for sure. As I'm sitting here on my flight, I feel like I got jumped last night in my sleep! Every bone in my body is killing me! No matter how hard I rehabbed and tried to put myself in game shape, there's no substitute for an actual game. muscle

We had another great cam season as well which was nice. It's always nice to be able to give back to the game thats done so much for me, work with all of my close friends and meet some cool kids along the way. Outside of the 3 broken windows at our Michigan camp, things were GREAT!

I've got some really exciting projects on the horizon that I'm looking forward to sharing with you all when the time is right! Don't want to leak too much yet as some final details are still being worked out!

The new K18 line drops this fall! I handed out a bunch of the new K18 t-shirts this weekend and kids seem to be pretty fired up about it, which in turn makes me all fired up! If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out the New K18 commercial and the equipment on youtube!

I'll be back out in LA this week just getting some things organized and trying to slow down for a few days. Got a few buddies from Baltimore coming out so it should be nice to catch up with them for a few days!

5 Days Left

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:00:01 -0500

What's crackin' YB!? I hope everyone a great weekend and a smooth start to the week!
Last week was a good one for me as it's the hardest I've worked out all summer since my injury. Between running, lifting, shooting and hooping, it was a fairly normal work out week for me, which was nice for a change. My hammy gets stronger everyday, just got to stay positive and stay mentally focused on keeping my core tight and I'll be straight!
Anyway, I spent the weekend down in San Diego with Meredith for a few days which was nice. Always nice to get out for a weekend and take a day or two off. We bounced around down there for a bit and then made our way to Sea World on our way home yesterday! Now, I'm not a huge fan of big crowds (unless you're playing in front of them!) , but I'll be the first to say that Shamu and the Dolphins were worth it! Meredith LOVES any type of aquarium, so she was all smiles all day. After spending some time at Sea World, I got to sit in traffic for a good 3 hours trying to make it 40 miles north back up to Hermosa, which wasn't all that sweet.
Any True Blood fans out there? I'm a pretty big fan of the entire HBO line up on Sunday night and I thought all three of my shows (Hung, Entourage and True Blood) were average yesterday! I felt like nothing happened at all! But, it's whatever, ain't stopping me from watching next week!
I've got 5 days left until the playoffs and I can't wait! This will be my second year in a row having a shot at this thing and being in the playoffs after not having a sniff of the playoffs my first three seasons in the league. Time to leave it all out on the field and try and grab a ring!
This week is fairly chill which is nice. Just need to focus on playing my best come Saturday (and hopefully Sunday) and then finish planning out the fall tour for the K18 line! It's going to be a lot of fun! Already got 7 locations locked in and once I finalize a few more things I'll be sure to let you all know!
We went to dinner this weekend down in SD and there was an awkwardly big chair outside of the restaurant, so, I figured it'd be good to take an awkward picture in it! Check it it out!!!
I'll get at you all before the week is over!

YB! Hope the week is going well! Here's a video I shot recently at my camp...not back to normal, but heading that direction.
Talk to you all soon,
