Its been awhile since I wrote a blog, but if you follow me on twitter deebrown11, or on facebook I always update my status and tell my fans whats going on...Since the last time we talked my team and I are 2-1. Feb.14 we played Rome a tough euroleague team on our home court I played okay, 10,3ast,3reb,3stls in a winning effort. Then we played in the FINAL 8 Italian Cup which is a big deal in Europe. We opened up against Milan another euroleague team who beat us a few weeks back on our home court. I was so excited about the game, during shoot-around practice in the morning I was asked by the TV network to rap on camera for 20 seconds, at first I'm like no thats okay I don't want to take the attention off the game, but to me its free advertisement for me and my music career. So I did, it was a good look for me and they aired it before our big game. I struggled throughout the game but I came through at the end hitting 4 straight free throws to win the game. Also I hit a half court three as time expired in the 3th quarter. I scored 13pts,5ast,5rebs,2stls, I think I played a good floor game even tho right now I'm not shooting the ball well, its really bothering me that I'm not shooting it well because I been working hard. Its part of the game so thats how I look at it. I just have to continue to stay positive and confident because I been through this before so its nothing to me. I know the shots will start to fall and things will continue to get better. Then we moved on to the semi-final game Saturday night and we didn't play well at all and we loss the game 73-61 on our home court. I was so disappointed, upset, sad, everything I didn't take the loss very good because I really wanted this and wanted to make a run for the championship and as a unit I don't think we left it all on the court including me. I played a decent game 24pts,5ast. I played hard and I tried to do all I could. It was a great event and I was so blessed to play and be apart of something special just a little disappointed I couldn't hold up that championship trophy.

Other than that its just basketball and music. I really don't do much but eat pizza/pasta, video games (CALL OF DUTY "Zombies"), sleep ( I been catching up on my sleep), and writing songs. This season is flying by we only have 12 games left in the regular season and they are big games because its a tight race for a playoff spot. So I been resting and making sure I finish the season strong and make sure I have to strength and energy to perform at the highest level. I do the same things everyday to keep my mind free of distractions, unnecessary business, and other problems that can allow me to have setbacks. I'm focused, I want to win, I want to play well, I just want to take full advantage of the situation. The things I do allow me to be free and enjoy living my dream of playing pro basketball, if anything gets in my way it quickly becomes a memory meaning I don't pay it no mind because I know I have a lot on the line and a lot of people depending on me.  When things get a little stressful I hear my mom in my ear saying "Dee stick to what you do..do your music, play your video games, free your mind,DO YOU". It really helps me when things don't go how I imagined them or wanted them to. At the end of the day I'm human, everybody has their problems, everybody goes through their ups and downs I just hope people have a way of coping and dealing with every situation because I know its tough times right now in the world we live in. I just say stay strong, stay positive, smile, be happy I know y'all saying its easy to say since I doing what I love, but when my mom and me didn't have nothing we were the happiest family on the block, we smiled, we worked hard and loved everyone STILL DO. Just enjoy your life and do what makes you happy.

Last week I was able to go to the studio my Italian friend found for me out here. It was a great experience for me, I haven't been since the summer so I was so excited. The studio was up in the mountains, it was a home studio which he build outside but I really felt comfortable, recording 5 songs. The experience along is great because doing music overseas is very difficult because me and the engineer can't even communicate because they don't speak english so its a tough process but I love it because its the experience, the memories that make the music more enjoyable for me. Overall I had a blast and cant wait until I go back because I'm currently working on 3 projects so I have a lot of work to do, but I'm excited about it and love what I do while in the booth making my story more clear. I'm just in the gym working, at home writing and working, relaxing my mind, enjoying Italy. I'm stll at the bowling alley getting my strike on, thats all you can do here in Avellino. I don't know what it is but I can't get over how good the pizza is here so I make sure I get 2 pizzas a day and I'm telling you WOW I'm addicted but I know when I get back to the states I will never go to a pizza restaurant. My weight goes up and down due to my inability to cook, and sometimes I really don't eat like I should and my mom and grand mom always on me about that. I'm also addicted to the FAST FOOD in Europe, McDonalds just taste so much better over here, its fresh, its.........I don't know I just know its good and I have donated a lot of money to that franchise, they even know my name and what I want when I walk in the spot. 

But the GRIND CONTINUES, I'm still working and have a lot of work to do. I just want to get better, I want to enjoy this life, I just want to live and experience everything Life has to offer. I'm here, I'm in good spirits, I'm definitely having fun and making the best out of this situation here in Avellino. I again and again thank all my fans for the support and love means a lot to me. I love everyone who clicks on my website everyday to check if I wrote a blog, thank all my fans means a lot to me for real. Until next time much love your boy DUNNY
