3. Oh...no. Chadwick Boseman - star of Black Panther dies of Colon Cancer at 43

"Chadwick Boseman, star of “Black Panther,” has died at 43, after a four year battle with colon cancer.

Before he was cast as the Marvel Studios superhero, Boseman’s career first exploded with his portrayals of Black American icons Jackie Robinson (in 2013’s “42”) and James Brown (in 2014’s “Get on Up”). Boseman also appeared in Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods,” and playing Thurgood Marshall in 2017’s “Marshall.”

“It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman,” the statement read. “It was the honor of his life to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”

Fucking hell, 2020. Anyone else, want to punch 2020 in the nose right about now? Or get in a time machine and undo everything that happened in 2016. Where's a good Tardis when you need one?

Three things I hate with a fiery passion: Dating, Job Hunting/Networking, and Apartment Hunting.

At a meetup group once - I was discussing job hunting with a professional career coach.

Career Coach: I tell all my clients the same thing, approach it the same way that you would hunting for an apartment or dating. In particular dating.
Me: Dating?
Career Coach: Yes, you are dating the prospective employers - to determine if it is a good match.

Me: Okay, I suck at dating, this explains a lot.
