My Thoughts on the Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

I was planning on going out Friday, January 17th. Friends canceled, and I decided to stay in. Fired up Netflix, the Aaron Hernandez documentary Killer Inside was on the front page. It premiered Wednesday, January 15th, on the streaming service. I noticed it was multiple episodes. One hour each. I said to myself I would check out the first 15 minutes of the first chapter. If it didn't grab me, I'd go with something else.

Three hours later, I was glued to the TV as this well-done mini-series hooked me. This documentary covers the man's life, his talent, his legal trouble, and unfortunate suicide.

The program eludes to several factors which caused Mr. Hernandez's downfall. Those being:

-victim to child abuse

-never admitting that he was a gay man

-Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy(CTE)

-witnessing his father abusing his mother after he'd been drinking excessively

-being raised strictly by a homophobic father

-losing his father at the age of 16

-his mother having a boyfriend live with their family shortly after-potentially not fully grieving his father's passing.

-moving to live with his cousin and considering her his mother figure.

All of this causing:

-violent outbursts

-supposedly silencing others who found out, what presumably was his deplorable secret

-paranoia

-criminal activity

-suicide

What if he had someone to talk to? Someone, he can safely tell everything. Would his life have taken a different turn?

Disclosing old hurt, feelings we consider shameful is tough. I find it easier to do now in my 40s than I ever could in my 20s. That being Aaron's age group.

My biggest takeaway from this mini-series; journaling and therapy can go a long way in healing past pain and hurt.

If there are bad habits/behaviors you are trying to stop in the new year, ask yourself, why do I act this way? Did this naturally come to me, or was it something I learned from friends or parents? You might be surprised.

Here's a trailer for the documentary.

2022 Las Vegas Trip with the Fam. 1st time in Vegas!

On a recent trip to the Grand Palladium in Punta Cana with my mom and sister, I was inspired to edit and publish this 2022 Vegas trip video. It was my first time going to Vegas, a gift for my 47th birthday. My family helped me choose this destination. Vegas is a walking town, similar to New York City. You will do a lot of walking here. My biggest takeaway is how the hotels themselves are the attractions. From roller coasters to shopping centers and faux gardens, you never know what you'll find in these massive hotels. The crazy thing is that the area still has space to build more. Also, getting to see the Hell's Kitchen restaurant from the TV show with Gordon Ramsay, which I'm a big fan of, and seeing the famous Bellagio hotel, this trip is one I will never forget. See the full video below. Have you ever been to Vegas? Post your thoughts below. Thanks for watching/reading this. ..YouTube link
