Unfortunately, Jacksonville didn't exactly go as planned. Wanted to go in there and get the job done, but fell short. In our first game, we had a huge brawl that was somehow heard 'round the US and Canada in a matter of minutes! lol pretty funny thinkin back at it now. Oh man. Anyhow, team played really well in our 2 opening games.. a nice win over Bayonne, NJ (ended with 10 minutes left due to the rumble), and a well played game vs. Jacksonville Kings. Got sloppy the 3rd game of the day vs. Tampa but still pulled it off. In an 8:30am affair, Sunday morning, we were outplayed by a Hoopsville, NY team that scouted us well the day before. Although it was a lopsided game, I still believe we had the right group of guys to beat that team.. just failed to show up. Overall, a fun trip.. just a disappointing outcome. Got to spend time with cousin Darren and my Ninong/Ninang in Orlando after Jacksonville for some quality relaxing time. Also got to meet up with my sharpshooter from Durham College, Nick Simpson.. who lives in Fort Lauderdale and came down to visit. So Florida was a great time!
Quick Splash to everyone that helped make the Florida trip awesome! LIVE. T.O. don't love U. We gotta re-up for next year in Virginia!
Fil-Act Offseason signings have officially started! Another exciting year is among us lol.
Songs of the Moment:
Ryan Leslie - Gibberish
Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind (song of the trip.. played before every game)
RIP Mark Reyes - didn't know you for too long.. but man you were hilarious. Pretty sure everyone that knew you agrees with me. Rest In Peace man
RIP Patrick Swayze - I was a fan. Roadhouse, Outsiders, To Wong Foo, Dirty Dancing, Point Break. I even have "She's Like the Wind" in my iPod. You'll be missed.
umm what else? Oh yea, America's stupid. This season's America's Best Dance Crew is probably the best season "Competition-wise", as in a lot of the crews are just as good as the rest of the crews. But none of em are as 'out of your seat' fantastic as Quest Crew, BeatFreaks, Jabbawockeez and Kaba Modern. Again, just my opinion. Rhythm City's gone, who in my opinion was the best overall. Super-clean and perfectly flashy! Now leftover is a decent latin group who surprised a lot of us but still probably isn't good enough to win(Afroborike), a fun girl group that isn't quite as good as last year's BeatFreaks(We Are Heroes), and season 4's version of SuperCr3w.. a group with amazing tricks and horrible choreography(Massive Monkees). Oh well, what can you do? Rhythm City woulda been the only group worthy of the title, I think. Not always agreeing with the judges either.. then again did ANYONE agree with Lil Mama going on stage during the Jay-Z/Alicia performance at the VMAs? who are you? lol. Fabolous said it best "Lil Mama is the bird that flew outta Lady Gaga's nest in her face". It was just a perfect performance.. going so smoothly.. then...Lil Mama? Sorry to get dramatic, but that ruined my life lol. It was like walking on a quiet beach after finding out you won a billion dollars, then having a bird crap on your shoulder.
The almost perfect picture:
Doesn't it remind you of the 1992 US Dream Team.. with Christian Laettner
Anyway lol... right now, taking time to focus on me and where to go from here. Been trying to make a move for years now.. just gotta make the right move. Sacrifice. Hope I could find my way... til next BLOWWWG, GSL
