I'm definitely the lazy one in my family. I used to ask my mom if Dad ever, like, veged out on the couch watching TV or anything. She said no, that both he and Brandon were far more active.

<hr>
[Concerning the Lee Family Curse Allegations or Conspiracy Theories] I shrug that stuff off. I don't believe in it and find it to be good fodder for folks looking to gossip or ruminate on creepy stories. If I really felt cursed, I would probably be afraid to live my life, and life is meant to be lived. |
