I had just gotten onto a kick about reading about him and his scam after discovering a podcast about it. I have The Wizard Of Lies reserved from the library and am supposed to be next in line for the e-book and just watched the HBO movie based on the book. (The movie was meh, a waste of DeNiro and Pfiffer's talent frankly.)

Initially I was fascinated to learn that Madoff was still alive honestly. It's one of those Mandela Effect things but I could have sworn he killed himself in prison years ago. Perhaps I was confusing the news coverage of his two sons, both of whom died tragically young both in part because of their father's actions (one by suicide, the other lymphoma).

“Dies in an apparent murder-suicide.”

How about, “Yet another woman murdered by her husband”?
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Hip hop artist Black Rob. This was his biggest hit:



Looks like in recent days he was hospitalized and had been having health issues for a while.

Odd note: this was the first song I downloaded on Napster way back in the day.

In Shock G’s honor, I’m gonna go to a foot doctor tonight.

Listened to Sex Packets radio on the way into work this morning on Spotify. Goddamn if it didn’t take right back to 8th grade when I pretty much peaked in life.

Cousins in my dad's generation. My dad's dad had a cousin with the exact same name...he is off the other branch of the same named cousins. I am not really close to that side of the family but I am related to all of them..Not like having the last name of Smith. But they are all Baltimorons.
