The Book Club : Revisit The Oj Simpson Trial With “If I Did It”
Legendary Book!
If You Thought The Oj Simpson Trial Was Epic, You Haven’t Heard The Back Story Of “If I Did It” Yet!
Like it or not but the Oj Simpson trial is part of history in a very disturbing way. He recently got released from prison after spending 9 years of his life and as you know it wasn’t for the right crime.

Just when you thought that the retired NFL player was out of sight, Jay Z brought him back to life with his now classic song “The Oj Story“. Once again, Hovah couldn’t be more clever because yesterday Oj was granted parole.

Simpson made history in so many different ways, some were glorious and some were tragic. The Oj Simpson trial was a saga that was never seen before on media.
It was highly publicised and the final acquittal for his ex wife’s murder was an historical moment in itself.
Beating the justice system when all the odds are against you is one thing but Simpson pushed the envelope to the extreme.
Indeed, he went on to publish the most controversial book in the last 2 decades. It was titled first:
“If I Did It: Here’s How It Happened“
Cc: People-
Oj wanted to open up about how “in theory” he would have managed to kill his wife (& get away with it).
The book was supposed to be like a major slap in the face for the victim’s family and the court system at large. Down the line, the family of his ex-wife took action and gained all the rights of the book. Eventually, they renamed it :
“If I Did It: Confessions Of The Killer“
This book is in fact how “in theory“, Oj Simpson did confess his crimes and today we will overview why you should read it!
Cc: Random Nerds-
1. Oj Simpson Tells It All
Simpson dives into his relationship with his ex-wife without missing any sip of tea. His ghostwriter took the same tone Oj had when we he showed the world that the gloves didn’t fit.
His wife Nicole Simpson is depicted as a drama-queen-using-men-as-toys in what seems to be an infinity of pages. It shows how “in theory” Oj is trying to justify his actions by vilifying the victim (which doesn’t sound too innocent to me).
The book has a chapter called “The Two Nicoles” in which we get a picture of a man who was married to a double-headed dragon (sort of).
He also goes in shocking details about how her sexual exploits were driving him crazy (no tea was sparred).

2. The Actual Oj Simpson Trial Is Not In The Book
Mark my words, I think the master plan behind “If I Did It“, beyond inventing “trolling” before it became a thing, was to keep the readers in check for the sequel.
The Oj Simpson trial was disturbing because it showed us how America and the world is satiated with crime stories.
Headlines like “Trial Of Century” were flooding the internet and deep down inside, we all thought he did it which made the book relevant as it is.
Robert Kardashian was the lawyer who got him out of trouble for the most controversial verdict in the Us court system’s history.
The name rings bells right? Well, I always thought that it was a rhetorical question to ask if whether or not Oj contributed to the Kardashans” stardom.

3. Oj Opens Up About The Legendary Police Chase
You might remember this police chase based on pictures and videos but it’s a whole different experience when you get it from the man himself.
A few people know that Oj actually threatened to kill himself with a gun when he got caught by the police. According to his memoir, he changed his mind when he heard Dan Rather on the radio.
Why You Should Read It?
Beyond the drama and the antics, Oj represents the perfect “Rise & Fall” story. He got to the top with his NFL career but it seems like his personal life was too much to cope with.
The simple fact that a book like “If I Did It” actually exists is an interesting perspective about our society. It shows you how a killer, even though “in theory“, feels about his actions or his victims.
It’s even more disturbing when you know that the quote on quote killer got acquitted and then dropped a book about how it would have killed the victim.
It also tells you how those things can be avoided when you push yourself away from toxic relationships (either for him or Nicole).
Last but not least, it also reminds us that when those kinds of situations occurs, the readers and the world is only stuck with one version. “If I Did It” will make you want to know more even though you know you can’t.

This Year Malefycia Is Colliding Horror And The Bible To Make The Thrill Of Halloween Real Again
Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time
Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.
The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.
Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.
You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!
their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.
What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.
Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.
There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.
When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.
I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.
Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.
One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.
For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.
What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.
”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

We are now entering an era where we want to know more about what is going on on the other side of the world.
How people are living, their culture and what is their reality compared to ours.
Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.
Milan Bihlmann and Muammer Yilmaz are two filmmakers who know where they stand when it comes to that.
”Rêves D’Afrique” is the epidemy of that. The two filmmakers decided to go to 7 countries in Africa to not only paint the picture for the world but to give the good people out there something we forget to give one another : ”a piece of yourself’.
Armed with a backpack, film gear and true altruism, the duo spread love and good deeds wherever they could throughout their trip.
Watch The Trailer
Les Grands Explorateurs being this platform to uncover the world made the right choice by adding this beautiful piece to their program.
