Clear Eyes, Open Hearts, Can't Lose

After a long day working last Sunday (I know working Sunday, can you believe it?), I decided to relax on the couch and watch some TV. The guys were at a friend's house watching football, which allowed me free range of the remote. After flipping through channels for awhile I found myself watching the Emmy's. I am not a "I have to watch the (insert award show name here)," kinda girl, but they can be entertaining. I thought the portions of the show that I caught were enjoyable; Amy Poehler standing on stage when her name was listed for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, which then lead all the other nominees to follow, The Lonely Island Boys musical number, and Jane Lynch's joke about why she is a lesbian... the men of Entorage . But what really made me so thrilled that I watched the Emmy's was watching Kyle Chandler win the Emmy for Best Lead Actor in  Drama Series, for the role of Coach Eric Taylor he played in Friday Night Lights. I don't think I can find the words to describe how wonderful the show was. I felt as if the characters were part of my family. I would route for the Panther's and then later on the Lions, laugh at Landry's dry sense of humor, agree with Tammy on so many levels, yell and Julie to shape up, I even cried when Tyra was reading her college application letter, longed for Coach Taylor to be my coach, in no sport in particular, maybe just in life, but most of all wanted to save and secretely wanted to date (I am pretty sure Dave already know's this) Tim Riggins. Oh, how I loved Tim Riggins! I have mourned the shows ending just as I did when Arrested Developement ended. It is a nice feeling of accomplishment to know that the show was recognized with two Emmy's and would have been absolutely complete if Tammy had won also! If you have not watched this show I highly, I repeat HIGHLY, recommend you watch it. In fact if you have Nextflix streaming you have no excuse not to as the first four seasons are streamming and I am sure the last one will be streamming soon!
