End of Summer Next Step

The summer is coming to an end and that means back to work. Some return to the office, Jessica is starting her new adventure at Ernst and Young, and Jake is back in school at ASU. What about me you may ask? Well I have been waiting all summer for a phone call, a phone call that has yet to come. But this is not a worry, I think....At least this is what my "people" say. Those people being my family and Jessica mainly but hey they are all that counts. Oh and I must add my agent among those people as he is the one talking me up out there. But waiting can become annoying.
What am I waiting for? A snow storm or a rainbow with a fatty pot-o-gold at the end. I wish but no. I am waiting to hear about potential contracts in Europe. I know you all may be saying "but I thought he really didn't like the whole 'Europe' deal?" This is true to some extent but I must say that Belgium being my first experience may not have been the right basis for comparisant. Dull culture and grey days were not suittable for a so-cal bro....ya I have been watching to much of the O.C. But if at first you dont succeed try, try again right? Well I may be giving it another shot. The European seasons are just about to kick off so if all goes well I will perhaps be traveling back across the pond to face my destiny. I am patiently waiting for and sifting through some offers to see what may come of this all.
Plan b may also come about however. (for those of you that need a flow chart plan A is Europe, plan B is the d-league) I had a great experience playing in the NBA developemental league last year and would not be so opposed to doing it again. The bottom line is that I need to play some where next year and just kick ass.....PERIOD!! I would be placed back in the draft for the d-league and picked up by any number of teams based on positional needs. Perhaps it will be the Lakers again but maybe not. I know a certain couple cousins that would be disappointed if it is not the Lakers but Dusty and Sherry I will fly you out if its somewhere else....and Dusty you can bring pops. So my first two options are very favorable for sure in that I will continue to be able to play a game I love for a living...
The final option I will save for a later date as I really dont want to put on a suit and tie just yet. My life in basketball is still the life I want to lead and really could not see myslef doing anything else just yet. But I will make one plug here at the conclusion of this update but first love to my family and friends....mom is still as healthy as any of us and we pray to keep it that way.
ok so here is my one plug...I found these awesome shorts that have made my life sooo comfortable...check em out at bullshortz.com for yourself because words just dont do them justice...if you do buy use my rep #R142 and spread the word
