LXM Pro 610 This weekend!

August 24th already!?!?! Time is literally flying by, it's out of control! Summer is almost over and it's been arguably my craziest summer yet! I haven't been back to my place in LA in a solid 6 weeks! Crazy right?! It's all good though, no complaints here, I get to do what I love on a daily basis, so I'm all smiles as usual.

I'm still in Baltimore right now, but heading to Philly Tuesday morning to promote LXM 610, which goes down Saturday Ag 28th (next Saturday), and I CAN'T WAIT to get back out on the field! I've been lucky this August and I've got to play competitive lacrosse almost ever weekend! So, to cap it off by playing in Philly in front of my family and friends, and watching Wale perform?! Incredible way to end the summer.

I went to see Lottery Ticket on opening night and it was absolutely hilarious! Not only was the movie hilarious but the previews for the other movies leading up to it looked GREAT! I've been talking about Takers all summer long, and that comes out this Friday which I'm excited about, but there were 3 or 4 other movies that I'm fired up about too!

Seen the Drake and Weezy "Miss Me" music video? If not, check it out!

Can't believe football season is about to start as well! Ravens have looked good in pre-season thus far, just can't wait to the regular season to start! I love waking up in LA on a Sunday morning and football is already on! Starts at 10AM out there!

It's been nice to be in Baltimore wit my family for a few weeks with out a doubt...walking the dog every morning, family dinners, ya can't beat it! But, I'm completely over the heat and humidity in Balto, got to take like 6 showers a day with the amount you sweat just walking outside! It'll definitely be nice to get back to the LA weather in 8 days or so!

That's about all I've got for now! Catch up soon!

HOT in Baltimore!!!

Welp, I'm back in Baltimore and I'll tell you it's HOT!!!! I've been out west for almost 3 years now and I think I've gotten soft on both ends of the spectrum. I can't deal with it below 50 (I think thats freezing!), and once we get up in the 90's, I'm not having it! So, it's definitely taking some getting used to being back in Baltimore!

I got to play at Lake Placid last weekend which was AWESOME! It was my first trip to that tournament and I'll be going back there for years to come! I had an absolute blast. Me, Joey Walters, Maxx Davis and Evan Kay drove up there from Rochester on Friday to play and I had no idea Lake Placid was such a beautiful place! Definitely loved the small town feel to it. We played on a team called Graph-Tex and we won the tournament! Yup, got'um! We played well for the most part and definitely had a great team full of dudes who have played at the highest level. I got to play with Kevin Dougherty (Former Cuse Star) which was a lot of fun, and definitely nice to be on his team this time rather than have him put up 5G's on you and knock you out of the Final Four (did it to us my Jr year at Hopkins..). Jake Plunkett (also a Cuse star) crushed it for our team as well. It was great to get out and run around for 4 games. AND, the team had five black lacrosse players on it (Blaxers!!!). It was me, Maxx, Ev, Hakeen Lecky (incoming freshman at Cuse), and the homey Jovan Miller (current Cuse AA)!!! First time I've ever been on a team with five other black lacrosse players going to work, it was incredible to see. A few times we'd all be running on the same line together!

I'm back in Baltimore for the week working and working out! I shot at Hopkins today and it was SO hot outside, but I had to get a good session in, and it's always nice to be at Hopkins.

I'm playing in Ocean City this weekend, which is always a competitive tournament! It's always a nice weekend to get to the beach with the family as well, so I'm looking forward to it.

Not too much else going on with me, just patiently waiting for football season to start! Feeling like it's going to be a big one for the Ravens!

I can't wait to see the movie Takers, check out the trailer here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SicGk3-bP58

Favorite some song right now is Right Above It by Weezy featuring Drake! If you haven't heard it, download it ASAP!

Check in again in a few days!

Last Camp of the Summer!!

What's good?! As usual, I'm on the road! Posted up in a coffee shop right now in Grand Rapids Michigan! I was worried about it being closed, but, apparently it stays open until midnight! Didn't know coffee shops in this small town popped off like that, but I guess ya learn something knew everyday. Seeing a lot of cut off jean shorts here, which I didn't know was in style either???

Anyway, things are pretty solid with me. I finished up the Nike Elite camps last Thursday at UVA with a great group of kids who worked EXTREMELY hard! It was fun to watch and even more fun to coach. Shout out to all the guys who worked camp this year! Doug and Chris Gizzi, Anthony Kelly, Maxx Davis, Steven Brooks, Greg Bice, Jimmy Borell, special guest Max Seibald, and the one and only Kristin Olsen! You guys rocked it again and made year 3 the best Nike Elite tour yet!

Another thing came to an end this past weekend, and thats my season with the Team Relentless boys from Orange County! We had a GREAT 5 months together and I got to watch the kids grow as players, and more importantly as people and it was an absolute pleasure. I know it won't be the last time I coach a lot of those boys, but I'll definitely miss them the next few months. I've never coached a team of kids who care so much about each other and so much about learning to play this game the right way. Truly an honor to work with the boys and I can't wait for the team party back in Cali in September!

I got to play yesterday on Saturday in Jersey for a game or two at War Of the Shore which was a lot of fun. Got up and down the field a bit, and it always fun to play with the homey's Maxx Davis and Evan Kay. Looking forward to getting back on the field this weekend with Joe Walters and a few other buddies at Lake Placid this weekend, then on to Ocean City the weekend after that!

Anyone seen Kevin Heart's new stand up DVD? Heard it was HILARIOUS, planning on picking it up tomorrow and getting a look. Every time I see his seen in 40 Year Old Virgin I'm usually in tears, so I'd assume his new joint is just as funny if not funnier.

I wish I had some more exciting news to report, but fact is, not too much new going on! I just can't wait to get back out on the lacrosse field and I'm very fortunate to get to play so much in these next few months.

LXM Philly coming up on August 28th, whose coming?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Talk soon,

What's good?!!!

Well, it's been an absolutely crazy two weeks or so to say the least! I've been all over the country from LA, to Ohio, to Pennsylvania, to Long Island to Baltimore and now I'm back in PA again! I've had Nike camps, STX photo shoots, Tournaments with our Team Relentless boys and a few camp appearances as well! It's pretty typical for this time of year, but it's getting tiring! But, i've got no complaints, I get to do what I love on a daily basis.

Anyone catch Inception? Well, I've got a lot to say about it, but, I'd rather not take up my whole blog talking about movies like usual. But, I will say that it jumped up into my Top 3 movies of all time, and I think it's top 5 movies made of our generation (#2 in my opinion)! If you haven't seen it, go check it out ASAP, it's worth it. SALT is next up on my list of movies to see, and my guess is I'll catch it next week sometime on the road, as I think I have next Wednesday off down in Charlottesville.

I read yesterday that Chris Paul may be heading to the Heat or Nicks!?!?!?!? Is that serious! I'm not sure how it would work out on the Heat (nor do I think they've got the money to pay him with the other dudes they just scooped up), but, I could see something going down with the Nicks for sure. I'm a big Chris Paul fan, so, I'll support and watch him whereever he goes. He seems like a smart dude, so he'll make the best decision for he and his family I'm sure. The 2010/2011 NBA season is going to be some very serious stuff, can't wait to watch!

Our Team Relentless boys from Orange County CA have been back east for about 9 days now playing teams up and down the east coast and I've been so impressed with how they've handled it. To ask a 7th or 8th grader to fly across the country, then play games for 8 or 9 days straight against east coast teams is definitely a lot to ask. But, these kids have responded to any challenge thrown their way and went 5-0 in the LI tournament at Hofstra, and have gone 3-0 against the Philly teams we've played the past few days. We've got a big test coming up this weekend in the tournament at Pipersville, but I'm proud of my boys no matter what happens at the tourney. They've definitely showed a lot of teams what they're all about the past week and a half.

I'm excited for August because I'm going to be playing A LOT of lacrosse! Got War at the Shore, Lake Placid, Ocean City, and most importantly, LXM PRO 610 in PA on August 28th! Wale will performing at the LXM Pro event, so I can't wait to watch him tear it down. Then, after all the craziness is over and the dust settles, I'm finally going to take a vacation! First time in quite some time that I'm taking a vacation that doesn't involve lacrosse! I'm heading on a 7 day cruise on the Mexican Riviera! So at least there's a little reward at the end of the crazy summer!

That's about all I've got for now, but I'll catch up with you guys in a few days!
