Being the Way You Were Made: Amy Givens

This week our special guest is my sister Amy Givens.  Amy is two years older than me (26), and her birthday is, well, today when I am writing this (the 28th).  Anyway, my sister and I have always had a very good relationship, we didn’t fight that much growing up, and still don’t.  Growing up [...]

Breaking News: I’ve watched more CNN than ESPN this week.

I read about 7 newspapers every morning, but only for the sports pages.  When it is time for me to watch the news, I watch ESPNews.  When I talk to someone about the current events of the days, we talk about the latest game or trade, or the latest on Roger Clemens (which should shape [...]

Reason #4,815,162,342 why I love Lost

Lost returned on Thursday night.  We are now in our 4th season, and I love the show more and more every time I watch it.  It is such an intelligent show that keeps you wondering especially because it drops clues that I hardly pick up until much after the fact, but that is reason #815 why [...]
