Slow Motion..

today is a pretty weird day.. but Momma said there would be days like this.. it's not good or bad.. just a bit "blah".. yea, that's a feeling.. google it.. i just turned off my phone, because i'm just not in the mood for much.. but again, it's not bad.. i still have a long night ahead of me..

it was pretty much Temeka Johnson Media Day.. She did a twitter interview w/ the WNBA, but the highlight for me was by far the interview we had w/ Kelley Carter for ESPN to discuss the Meek Moments children's book.. being featured on ESPN.com is a pretty big deal for a WNBA player.. especially considering that she will be in there for a reason other than playing basketball.. but she deserves it, and I can't wait for the piece to come out.. Ms. Carter did a good job on the interview, and allowed Meek to talk about the book, her foundation, her family and her future.. yea, i just kept going w/ the "f's" - sue me, it felt right!! but i also had a good brief business discussion w/ her, and look forward to after the season, where we'll be able to take the time to properly chart the rest of this course..

but, my day started w/ a business convo w/ Ketia Swanier, that made me proud.. she initiated it, and was focused.. she voiced concerns and solutions.. it's that moment where you can see the light bulb go on - and you just know that the corner is being turned for the better.. i can't wait for people to recognize the talent that Ms. Swanier has in her.. she has her share of doubters, but who doesn't.. it's up to her to just play the game that made her a HS star and a UConn player.. i know that's coming, because i've seen flashes of it.. but more than that, she just showed me by taking the initiative.. that's all i can ask for..

other than that, it's been business as usual.. worked on our Brasil camp down in Santos in October.. still have some things to iron out.. then something bigger that's being launched in April.. but that's still under wraps, but it's a pretty big deal w/in women's basketball..

oh, shoot, and an opportunity where both Meek and Kesh will be able to do something together to support our Armed Forces.. that's going to be a classic moment, and I hope that it builds into something larger.. that would be a true blessing.. so on that note, the day was pretty good in my role as a manager for WNBA players.. i didn't bother Syl, because she's relaxing w/ friends.. her season's coming to an end, and I'll catch her at the game tomorrow.. i thought about going to the DWade Charity Benefit Dinner later tonight, but i'm not feeling it.. have some non women's basketball stuff to do (studio session w/ Esynaj), and i know i'm not going to be feeling too "Hollywood" today..

Momma said there would be days like this.. things are good, but i feel blah.. google it..

i - Q..
