Cat Power - Dark End of the Street
I’ve never heard of anger and hurtful words being imperative to nurturing a child’s mind.

Diagnosed Limelighters
Came across this today…
I never knew there was a name for it…those flashy, didn’t receive enough hugs growing up kind of people. Sad really, because it seems there is no cure.
Diagnosis
You’ve got Histrionic Personality Disorder.
A Cure to Shallowness?
The answer doesn’t from the attention-givers, but your own damn self.

The difference between long division and using a calculator
Long division requires paper or any writable surface, writing utensil, and basic math aptitude. However, a calculator requires a purchase of one and the aptitude to know what you want to compute.
Why, then, do we sit and learn long division, via a slate or whiteboard, as children. The answer is simple, if you didn’t know how to do long division with a pencil and paper, you wouldn’t know how to utilize a plastic calculator.
There COULD be a day, when computing tools, such as a calculator, would no longer exist. How could you figure out the proper share of 1,222 slices of pizza amongst 331 people?
What then? What would people do in the event that a calculator didn’t exist? What if your smartphone ran out of batteries so you can’t utilize your calculator app?
What if the gas company went out of business, what would people do to take hot showers? What if your Brita water purifier ran out of filters and they just didn’t make the proper filter for it anymore?
Today, it seems, people have gotten soft. The long, arduous way is just too much trouble. Answers are there, and sometimes, the answer will require rolling up your sleeves to reach in the murky water to get it.
My advice, learn things the hard way. The way, wherein, if in the event of luxury tools decide to take life long vacations, you can still drink a clean glass of water, safely. Life won’t always be easy…
Love, Jonathan Remulla, Supafrenz
