“Spongebob Squarepants” Creator Dies at 57

Stephen Hillenburg former marine biology teacher, created one of the most famous child TV show of all time in “Spongebob Squarepants”. Hillenburg announced last year that he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Hillenburg was born on August 21, 1961, in Oklahoma and died on November 26, 2018. Spongebob is a very iconic show, with 12 seasons and the episodes lasting a brief 11 minutes. Despite the simplicity of the TV show, there have been two movies along with a Broadway show based off the cartoon. No matter how old you are, you’ve probably seen the show, and it has probably made you smile and that is all Hillenburg ever wanted in making the children’s cartoon.

Mac Miller Passed Away at 26

Mac Miller the rapper from Pittsburgh passed away due to a suspected drug overdose on September 7, 2018. I’m writing this to try and inform people who may not know much of Miller or maybe haven’t even heard of him, because I’m really sad he passed and feel more people should know of him. Miller was a rapper, producer, and singer. Mac Miller’s music was always a diverse type of music and whether you like him or not, you had to respect the artistry that his music portrayed. Miller released 5 albums along with 12 mixtapes before he passed including his most recent album “Swimming”. Since his passing, Miller’s streams skyrocketed to 970% and “Swimming” made number one on the iTunes album charts. Mac Miller may have left at 26, but his impact on music and his music catalog will live on forever.
