Lets Talk About The Team

"Pretend you are explaining your favorite T.V. show to someone who has never seen it."

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is known as today's number one drama show on television. Though currently CBS is airing the fourteenth season, lets start from the beginning.

In season one, Leroy Jethro Gibbs (the team leader who is played by Mark Harmon), Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo (member of team Gibbs; played by Michael Weatherly), and Special Agent Kate Todd (member of team Gibbs; played by Sasha Alexander) solve murders, kidnappings, fires, etc. They solve cases and help people. The three of them alone are not a team though. Forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (member of team Gibbs; played by Pauley Perrette) and medical examiner Doctor Donald Mallard, or as the team calls him, Ducky (member of team Gibbs; played by David McCallum) also assist Kate, Tony, and Gibbs in solving crimes.

As seasons go on, Special Agent Tim McGee (played by Sean Murray) soon becomes apart of team Gibbs.

McGee is the brains of the operation. He can hack anything and he is the computer guy. Dinozzo is the class clown. While he is playing the role of a very capable investigator, he never fails to lighten the mood with jokes and his own unique personality. He and Kate have a love hate relationship and they are always messing with each other. Dinozzo is also known for his inventions of new names for McGee such as McGeek, McGoo, McNerd, and so many others. Abby is so smart and so talented in her field. She mainlines caffeine and getting between her and her Cafpow is not a good idea. Ducky is smart and full of information. With just about any case, he has a story that goes with it. Gibbs plays boss man but also plays a father figure to the team members.

Kate eventually makes her way off the show and Mossad officer Ziva David (played by Cote de Pablo) takes the empty chair. While at first Ziva is just a liaison officer, she eventually cuts her ties from Israel and becomes an NCIS Special Agent and an American citizen. Since Ziva has a background at Mossad, she is dangerous and knows how to fight. She can take anybody down, most with just one hand. She and Tony automatically form a bond that is undeniable.

After Ziva leaves after several seasons on the show, former NSA analyst Ellie Bishop (played by Emily Wickersham) takes the empty chair previously occupied by Ziva. Bishop brings an interesting twist to the team. She is different than the others.

The season finale of season 13 was for sure a tear jerker. I will not reveal what happens because it will give a lot away but Tony finds a reason that is important enough to leave Gibbs and the team behind.

In season fourteen, new faces are introduced. Bishop and McGee gain two new team members to work alongside. Special Agent Nick Torres (played by Wilmer Valderrama) and Special Agent Alex Quinn (played by Jennifer Esposito) join the team for season 14.

If you have not seen this show or you do not watch it, I highly recommend getting into it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
