Run N' Gun 08'

What's good YB? I hope you guy's have been well! I apologize for the delay in writing, thing have been hectic recently with the game last weekend, and then getting to Vegas to run our first camp of the summer. I've got a lot to fill you guys in with!

Well, last weekend Denver came in to L.A. for our rematch and unfortunately, we weren't able to knock them off. They beat us 16-13. We played a pretty bad first half, but you've got to give them credit, they are definitely playing well early in the season. Though I haven't been in the league too long, it seems to be like Denver always gets off to a great start. With the season being so short (12 games), every game is extremely important, so we've got to back on track next weekend. We've got a bye this weekend, so it'll be nice to reevaluate, work hard all this week, and get prepared to play LI next weekend. A few positives things came from our loss against Denver. For one Jesse Hubbard showed why he's one of the best players to ever play this sort scoring 6 huge goals for us and literally keeping us in the game. Secondly, we battled back. We had a pretty bad first half, maybe the worst we've played all year, and were able to go in the locker room, regroup and come out and play as hard as we possibly could go to get back in the game. We've got to find a way (personally I definitely need to) to play with the same intensity and sense of urgency all game that we played with in the second half of the Denver game. Anyway, as I mentioned, it's early in the season, but it's time to turn it up and make big push going into the next stage of the season next weekend against LI.

On Monday of this week we began our first Run N' Gun (runngunlacrosse.com) camp of the summer. Joe Walters and I started this company together about 2 years ago, and it's been great being able to run our own business and really learn the process. This week, we're in Vegas and it's been HOT. Yesterday it was 105!! I'm talking so hot you don't feel like walking, talking, even being anywhere near outside is a bad idea. We have camp in the evening so it's a little cooler (5-9), but it's definitely still a bit warm out. The kids are a lot of fun, and working hard for us, so that's all we can ask for. I think they're learning a lot, and will be better lacrosse players when they leave on Thursday. We've got a great staff on hand with Maxx Davis (my little cousin, UMBC), Evan Kay (Former UMBC star), Maxx Ritz (former MD star), Mike Grvozden (Hopkins starting goalie), and myself and Joey. So, the kids are definitely getting some great instruction. All these counselors are great dudes so it's fun getting to kick it with them for a week. It's especially nice for me to be able to hang out with Maxx for a week as he's like a little brother and since I've moved out west and he goes to school back east, we don't get to see each other much. After this camp, we've got 5 more left! One in Portland, AZ, Michigan, Rochester, and one in York Pennsylvania! So, it'll be a busy, but productive summer.

So, I've got a few questions I need answers to! One, what do you with of Weezy's new joint? I've listened a few times, but haven't formed my opinion yet. What do you guys think? Secondly, what is going on with the NBA finals? Whose playing well? With camp being at night I've literally missed every game so far! Not too happy about it. Fill me in!!!

We finish up camp tomorrow, then I head to Utah for the weekend to do a few events for STX, so it should be a pretty fun rest of the week/weekend.

I'm going to shoot some video's today at camp, so hopefully I'll be able to get those up in the next few days. As I said up top, I apologize for the delay in writing, things were hectic leading up to camp, but I got everything organized now and, so I'm back to posting a few times a week baby!

Talk to you all soon, and have a GREAT Wednesday.

How comfortable does my niece look sleeping? My sister sent this pic to me yesterday and I haven't been able to stop laughing every time I look at it. She looks far too comfortable! And, what kind of 2 year old sleeps with her hands behind her head?!

She looks real comfortable, KH.....Tha Carter III is really good in my opinion, all the joints are so good that I can't pick a favorite

Let me know when you pick a favorite track, TC. If that happens.

"Shoot Me Down" is an outstanding track.

Dr. Carter, Mr Carter, Got Money and Shoot me Down are probably my favourite tracks. But with that said I think they're are all amazing tracks. Really solid album.

yes it is! Good call.

i've previewed the tracks on itunes and i can't justify pulling the trigger on ordering it yet. sucks you only get to hear 30 secs of the songs.

best hip-hop albums i've picked up recently are "rising down" by the roots, and "the bake sale" by the cool kids

Cool Kids are the $hit. "Mikey Rocks" gets some serious rotation on my iPod.

gold and a pager

The Roots joint is so hot man, couldn't agree more!

Doesn't she? She's the best man.....as for my favorite song, I'm still choosing between about 7 of them right now, stay tuned..

I don't have an opinion yet on Weezy's new album. I haven't heard it enough yet. The NBA Finals, though, here's what's happening: Phil Jackson has lost his mind. Kobe trusts his teammates too much. Lamar Odom should never touch the ball on offense. Too often someone else is taking the shot, not Kobe. And it's not because Kobe is playing scared and passing the ball instead of taking open looks (cough, cough K.G.) -- it's because his teammates are being selfish and/or short-sighted. Watch for Kobe to take over from here on out. The blood is in the water. Lakers in six. Maybe seven.

Thanks for the update. I should be able to catch the second half of the game tonight after my flight to Portland. Still thinking Lakes in 7???

NBA Finals will come down to homecourt advantage, unless Kobe decides to step it up a notch in Boston. Start driving to the rack on a consitent basis and not settle for 18 fotters with a hand in his face.

Weezy's new album is pretty awesome. his lyrics are nasty on the album. Milli, Got Money are sick tracks as well as Comfortable and Dont Get It. His flow on Dr. Carter is amazing.

Mr. Carter is on repeat right now, but as I said earlier, I've got about 7 that I can't pick my favorite from.

I'm going to have to say I'm liking the Lakers for the NBA. What a game last night.
and
I sleep with my hands behind my head all the time. It's really comfortable.

Nothing wrong with sleeping with the hands behind the head, I can't do it though. Got to be on my stomach. Clearly my niece has no problem doing it.

She is absolutely adorable. Funny how she has her arms behind her head - "laid back". :)

Thanks! She's definitely a cutie!

hey if ur ever doing a camp in Southern Ontario, like Toronto. message me. endish of August is when most people are around. like the weeks of the 10th, 17th,and 24th. usually everyone I know is back and preping for school.

I'll talk to Walters and see what he thinks about doing it.

thanks for taking the time to mix it up with us on here. enjoy your father's day
