TANGLED UP: How To Get These F-ing Hobo Knots Out Goddammit! (PLUS: The Secret Shampooing Life of Pillheads) Okay, first of all, I apologize for that headline, which couldn't be worse. The punny Dylan reference, at least. [UPDATE: It was such a bad pun that I took it out.] Jane has a policy about no songs titles as heds, and whenever bosses give me policies I freak and aggressively refuse to follow them. And the more I love the boss, the more confusingly I navigate her "rules"-- to test her love for me and my specialness, you see!
No, it has never been easy being a Cat Marnell employer. Anyway, YO! Okay, so today we are going to talk about tangles. I had stopped taking care of myself physically and grooming-wise almost completely, save for the occasional bath (showers made me too woozy). Also: sometimes I fell asleep in the bath tub. When I'd wake up every morning, you guessed it -- the tangles would be even worse. Not swag. Ever since then I’ve been a lot more conscientious about minding my tangles. “It’s a big deal . But what really made the difference for Jane and Charlotte? ANYWAY. MAKING SENSE OF AMY WINEHOUSE: Another Addict Reflects On An Awful-Feeling Celebrity Death. I was hugely, unexpectedly devasted to learn the news of Amy Winehouse's death on Saturday. When I first read about it on Twitter I literally slammed my computer shut, and couldn't open it up and read more about what had happened for a full minute.
And unlike when, say, Michael Jackson died, I still haven't hungrily eaten up the media coverage like I usually do, spending hours poring over the gory details in all the articles online. Dude, it made me feel really, really f-ing sad. Then on Saturday night/early Sunday morning, I broke down for 20 solid minutes about her overdose (which, I mean, is what it was). I woke up the not-my-boyfriend guy that I was sleeping with weeping that I was sorry, but that I needed to talk to somebody.
I can't stop feeling sad about Amy Winehouse, I said. Other than my home, New York, London is my favorite city, and one that I love most for its rock stars. Or maybe that's bullshit. But if you chase death, you'll find death. Death drive. The Standard Edition of Freud's works in English confuses two terms that are different in German, Instinkt ("instinct") and Trieb ("drive"), often translating both as instinct.
"This incorrect equating of instinct and Trieb has created serious misunderstandings".[5] Freud actually refers to the "death instinct" as a drive, a force that is not essential to the life of an organism (unlike an instinct) and tends to denature it or make it behave in ways that are sometimes counter-intuitive. The term is almost universally known in scholarly literature on Freud as the "death drive", and Lacanian psychoanalysts often shorten it to simply "drive" (although Freud posited the existence of other drives as well). The making of the theory: Beyond the Pleasure Principle[edit] The first problem Freud encountered was the phenomenon of repetition in (war) trauma. The third problem came from clinical practice. Philosophy[edit] Freud himself was of course well aware of such possible linkages.
See also[edit] Thanatos. In myth and poetry "And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. And the former of them roams peacefully over the earth and the sea's broad back and is kindly to men; but the other has a heart of iron, and his spirit within him is pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast: and he is hateful even to the deathless gods. " [3] Homer also confirmed Hypnos and Thanatos as twin brothers in his epic poem, the Iliad, where they were charged by Zeus via Apollo with the swift delivery of the slain hero Sarpedon to his homeland of Lycia.
"Then (Apollon) gave him [Sarpedon] into the charge of swift messengers to carry him, of Hypnos and Thanatos, who are twin brothers, and these two presently laid him down within the rich countryside of broad Lycia. " [4] Thanatos was regarded[by whom?] Euripides, in Alcestis: Death drive. Libido. Eros. Eros (/ˈɪərɒs/ or US /ˈɛrɒs/; Ancient Greek: Ἔρως, "Desire"), in Greek mythology, was the Greek god of love.
His Roman counterpart was Cupid[2] ("desire"). Some myths make him a primordial god, while in other myths, he is the son of Aphrodite. Cult and depiction[edit] Eros appears in ancient Greek sources under several different guises. In the earliest sources (the cosmogonies, the earliest philosophers, and texts referring to the mystery religions), he is one of the primordial gods involved in the coming into being of the cosmos. But in later sources, Eros is represented as the son of Aphrodite, whose mischievous interventions in the affairs of gods and mortals cause bonds of love to form, often illicitly. Ultimately, in the later satirical poets, he is represented as a blindfolded child, the precursor to the chubby Renaissance Cupid – whereas in early Greek poetry and art, Eros was depicted as an adult male who embodies sexual power.
Primordial god[edit] Homer does not mention Eros. Drive theory. In psychology, a drive theory or drive doctrine[1] is a theory that attempts to define, analyze or classify the psychological drives. A drive is an “excitatory state produced by a homeostatic disturbance”,[2] an instinctual need that has the power of driving the behaviour of an individual.[3] Drive theory is based on the principle that organisms are born with certain psychological needs and that a negative state of tension is created when these needs are not satisfied.
When a need is satisfied, drive is reduced and the organism returns to a state of homeostasis and relaxation. According to the theory, drive tends to increase over time and operates on a feedback control system, much like a thermostat. Psychoanalysis[edit] In Freudian psychoanalysis, drive theory (German: Triebtheorie, German: Trieblehre)[1] refers to the theory of drives, motivations, or instincts, that have clear objects.

Those who can walk away from the negotiation — legitimately walk away, not just make a show of it — are in the strongest position. Those who are convinced they need to make the deal are in the weakest position. This is true of negotiating when you’re buying a car, closing the sale of your new home, haggling in a foreign flea market, or trying to get a raise. It’s also true of anything in life. Know that there’s almost nothing you can’t walk away from. If you are convinced you need a nice house with a walk-in closet and hardwood floors and a huge kitchen, you now have a weakness. If you are convinced that you need Stabucks grande lattes every day, or an iPhone or iPad, or an SUV or Cooper Mini or BMW … you are in the weak position, because you can’t give it up.

I was a big fan of productivity, and, in some respects, I still am. I’ve been a very early adopter of GTD, and, for years, I did my weekly reviews with the discipline of a zen monk. But, eventually, I hit a roadblock. GTD is about getting things “done”, but in life we have much more to experience than “doing”. We feel. So, I confess I fell out from the GTD wagon. But enough with all this shameless self-promotion intro. So, instead of doing a presentation of the Assess – Decide – Do framework, I chose to isolate only 7 simple tips for today’s post. As a matter of fact, they’re even organized as such. 1. I firmly believe that the art of ignorance should be taught in schools. Especially on Mondays, when all the previous week unprocessed stuff seems to crash on us, try to apply this. Slash out Twitter, Facebook, email. 2. Each tiny task that you finish is an achievement. Tuesdays are great for this habit, because they’re the first link after the week hast started. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
The Bitterroot Footage. My name is Chad. I'm a student at a university in New York. I just moved to a studio apartment and needed some furniture. I found a guy on Craigslist that wanted to desperately get rid of his things at super cheap prices so I went to check it out. He sold things in bulk to get rid of as much things as possible.
I bought a small table and it came with a bunch of other random things. Some of it I gave away and some I kept. An old wooden box caught my attention. The film was pretty damaged so I just kept it on my bookshelf as decoration, but I couldn't get the images of the pictures out of my head. With help from Dario, we got an old 8mm projector in good working condition on Ebay.
I asked my friend to help me make this website so I can share my findings. Wooden Box and photos Open Box with film can and photos One of the photos The projector we're using with plastic reels.

Im Ready To Tell This Story Now. She was my wife. She had this unapologetic, booming laughter. To this day I swear on all that is good in this world that I can hear that laugh in the halls of this house. She couldn't stay in one room for more than a few minutes unless she was watching a really great movie or reading a really good book. She loved art. And life. And throughout all our fights and good nights and struggles and triumphs she was always my one and only. My wife. She gave me my boys. They mostly look like her. Plus my youngest has that same zest for life and the finer things. When my sons were almost out of elementary school something changed, albeit slowly. I would find her crying in our bed. It wasn't until she began to scare the boys that I demanded that she get help. "You don't KNOW, Rick! " "No," I said, almost whispered.
Then she said something that made me sink to my knees in panic. I cried with her. That night is burned into my mind, into the back of my fucking eyes. Medicines came next. She sounded happy. How Your Greatest Insecurities Reveal Your Deepest Gifts. In my decades of practice as a psychotherapist, this is the insight that has inspired me most: Our deepest wounds surround our greatest gifts. I've found that the very qualities we're most ashamed of, the ones we keep trying to reshape or hide, are in fact the key to finding real love. I call them core gifts. It's so easy to get lost in the quest for self-improvement. Every billboard seduces us with the vision of a happier, more successful life. I'm suggesting an opposite road to happiness. Over the years, I realized that the characteristics of my clients which I found most inspiring, most essentially them, were the ones which frequently caused them the most suffering.
Some clients would complain of feeling like they were "too much"; too intense, too angry, or too demanding. Other clients said they felt that they felt like they were "not enough"; too weak, too quiet, too ineffective. Again and again, where my clients saw their greatest wounds, I also saw their most defining gifts! Get anyone to like you - Instantly - Guaranteed.
