When I was in high school I mainly took the business/commercial courses from typing to bookkeeping to shorthand and a few other clerical subjects. This was during the early 1980's. Taking Shorthand was kind of fun for it was like solving codes.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. Weβre talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you donβt get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (π₯)βcouldnβt find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you arenβt me, so buy the uncut version.
