im backkkkkkkkk
I'm coming back home. It feels great to know that I'm coming back to Phx and that I'm staying for a while. It has been the best year of my life and I cannot wait to not only continue growing on and off the court personally, but to get more involved in the community. These past couple weeks have been awesome between my camp in Hawaii and the 1st annual Cfrye tourney. I am extremely excited for this upcoming year and where we can go with our team. Speaking of this up n coming year I know the whole Lebron thing has been talked about and put on every station 7864278624768 times but i am curious to see what my readers think, if you had the chance to leave and play with two off your best friends which happen to be 2 outta the top ten players in the league would you have done it the way he did?
Oh and for your viewing pleasure sports bloopers to lighten the mood.
A Challenge to Kobe?
Okay, so one of the past players on my Bull Dogs team sent this over. I wanna know what y'all think.
Cool Video: The Sandpit
One of my friends who lives in NYC now sent me this. At first I thought it wasn't real but this was just flat out a brilliant video shooting.

Thank you to St. Mary’s
My team put this together for me so check it out. I really appreciated the day.
All Night Long
My guy, little Milton
Twilight. I’m confused.
Ok, I know I'm way late on the whole “Twilight Craze,” but my fiancée is reading this book and she cannot put it down. I make fun of her every time I get a chance. But it's not just that simple. She watched the movie, loved it, and thought that the lead actor was hot, so that gives her a mental image of some hot vampire dude love story to think about while she reads the book.
Hey, I know it sounds like I'm hating but really I'm not. I didn’t think the movie was awful or even the worst of all time, it was just way way way to mushy for being a vampire movie. Vampires literally eat animals and by animals I mean people. With their bare hands 'n fangs. Yes, no utensils needed. They rip skin off like a bad paper cut.
I asked her what was so intriguing about the book and here was her analysis: “The reason why I and many women love this story is because the main vampire, Edward, is deeply in love with Bella (main women character.) He loves her but cannot do anything physical with her and that type of “naughty” tension (wink, wink) is what I think keeps people reading. The fact that he loves her and doesn’t want to hurt her, yet he says, "her blood is the sweetest he had smelled in a 100 years.” So he can't do anything with her because he might lose control and EAT her. Therein lies the conflict and the draw for reading these stories.
Now, when I heard this, the first thing I thought of was how lonely is this girl that outta all of the people in all the world she falls in love with a dang vampire? I mean, come on. That’s like me having a pet lion or a pet dragon and loving it all day and never coming to the conclusion that hey, when my pet dragon or lion is hungry all this lovey-dovey stuff is going out the window. It's gonna bite my face off.
I'm just a guy venting. It’s a wildly famous book and series, but all I want to know is what am I missing? Did Bella watch too many episodes of Blade or what? Please, let me know. I'm trying to understand why we don’t write a book called "Big Dummy" starring Bella co-starring a herd of rabid moose. (Yes, moose is plural for moose. And yes, they're very mean.)
Here are some examples of what animals do when they attack. Please be aware. These are quite graphic.
See? This is what animals do, and animals aren’t vampires. Vampires are worse and they bite your neck, which is sensitive.
For Fun
Hey, the weather is good so laugh at this. But as an aside, seriously, what were we, as a society, thinking in the '80s with the wardrobe? Personally, I think that's the funniest part.
Ticket Winners – A Tie
Thanks to everyone who participated in the pancake eating challenge at Stepping Stone. Although some came close and gave it a commendable try, it turned out to be a tie between these two who each managed to scarf down three huge pancakes. That is a heck of an impressive feat. Check out their videos and see for yourself.
For their efforts, they each won two tickets to a Blazers home game. Congrats and enjoy.

Devin, the bestest batter
Well, this kid stole the show during one of my interviews with Casey Holdahl from the Blazers Center Court, so he deserves some of the spotlight.
