We All Know What This Means

Now that we have gotten the obligatory Justin meme out of the way, how are you doing today?
I feel like this last week so much happened.  Is it me or did the world has become a far stranger place.  Maybe I just spent too much time on Twitter.  Kanye West is still tweeting absolute madness every hour of the day, and now President Trump is retweeting him.   I am just left wondering how we can get the good people at Twitter to suspend accounts.

To completely change the subject (you’re welcome) Time released it’s list of it’s 100 Most Influential People of 2018, and each person had an introduction written by someone who knows them or has had an encounter with them.  For example Jennifer Lopez’s was written by Kerry Washington, Prince Harry by Elton John, and Roger Federer by Bill Gates. Each story that I have ready so far has been personal and moving.  Click the image to go the beautifully done site and check out the list for yourself.

It will easily kill an hour of this Monday for you.  But go after you finish the rest of the newsletter OBVIOUSLY!

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and get them sit ups right and…

As Justin just told us, it’s going to be May.  Which means summer is on the horizon.  Time to get back to those work out plans to try and pretend we didn’t just eat ourselves into oblivion over the cold winter months (especially those living up north where Spring just never sprung).  I’m happy to announce a new section to the blog to cover Health &  Fitness, where I am bringing you some experts to help motivate us to work out, cook healthier, and be more mindful, Namaste! Check out the first article here where I tell you how Kanye West and Tich Nath Hahn Collided to Change My Life.

Thinking about using Ancestry or 23 & Me

Well be prepared to find out something much crazier than being 1/5 Native American.  Thanks to Ancestry, police in California were able to finally close a 40 year old cold case involving a serial killer. Read more about what happened HERE. This man was responsible for 12 deaths ,over 40 rapes, and countless burglaries.  He is the actual reason America started locking their doors. You can read even more about him HERE.

A true crime blogger, Michelle McNamara, inspired officers to re-open the case in 2013 when she wrote an article in Los Angeles Magazine.  She began writing a book about the Golden State Killer (a name she coined), but unfortunately died in her sleep before she was able to finish.

The book was posthumously updated and finalized by true crime writer Paul Haynes and her widower Patton Oswalt.  The book, released this past February (almost two years after her death), reached number 2 on The New York Times Best Seller List. Here is her widower, Patton discussing his wife, the capture of the Golden State Killer and her book last week on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Bill Cosby

I could not go this entire newsletter and pretend this man wasn’t found guilty this week.  He was.  Praise be.  This is about all the time he deserves.

Double Dare

Off the heels of my 90’s article, which if you didn’t read you can catch that HERE, we have some thing pretty exciting things happening. Double Dare is getting a reboot and coming back to Nickelodeon.  While there hasn’t been confirmation that Marc Summers will be the host, they have alluded to him making some sort of appearance.  Read the article here.
