ZP’s Oil Painting

10 12 2009

A very talented local artist named Zachary Proctor recently painted this picture of myself.  During the season, I went to his studio and took some photos and he later came out with this amazing portrait.  This is just 1 of 100 faces that Zachary Proctor wants to paint so make sure and check more of his stuff out.

Right now, it’s at Alpine Art which you can check out at www.alpineartinc.com.  This one is valued at $1800.

Your Homeboy Q&A

9 12 2009

Hey guys, the blog has only been up and running about a week and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate all of the positive comments and feedback I receive everyday from many of you.

From now on, every Friday, I am going to answer a question or two from a fan in a blog post.  Ask me anything that you may want to know about myself… pre-game rituals, my life growing up, experiences I’ve had in the MLS, etc.  If you have questions, post them as a comment in this blog post and I will hit you back on Friday!





AFI @ In The Venue Tonight!

8 12 2009

Headed down to the AFI show tonight, if your going wear you NIMH shirts. These guys really put on a good show and Davey has some of the best stage antics I have ever seen. A lot different sound from their older stuff but way good! To check them out online, go to www.afireinside.net.

Show starts @8 at In the Venue. Saw them last year at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas with Rise Against, Offspring, Muse, 311 and many others but these guys really stood out! Pumped to hear their new stuff live off their newest album Crash.

Nike SB Commercial feat P.Rod, Kobe, Koston and Ice Cube

6 12 2009

Jacqui, me, Robbie, and Kyle at a Lakers game last season.

This is one of my favorite ads from Nike. It features two of my favorite skateboarders, Paul Rodriguez and Eric Koston, who shred anything and everything. Also featured are Kobe Bryant, the MAN who leads the yellow and purple, and Ice Cube an absolute OG rapper from my days growing up in southern CALI.  To collaborate all these icons is really something genius.





Lace Up, Save Lives!

5 12 2009

Nike is at it again!  They just partnered up with RED to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.  (NIKE) RED is a humanitarian campaign designed to generate funds for organizations fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa and will contribute 100% of the profit to the Global Fund.  What perfect timing to get the buzz going with the World Cup right around the corner. They’re only $4, so lace up RED!
