I haven't seen the movie Big, though.

OK let me and you sit here for a minute and go through every possible thing until you get that confidence that you WILL be hired soon..

1) Go to every single staffing company in town. Take a typing test, tell them you can lift more than 50 pounds, and give them a winning smile. Someone has to bite.

2)Go to the workforce commision where you live(or whatever name they have in cali)..tell them your history and let them do the work

3)Ask everyone you know...parents friends, old school pals, etc. where they work and if they can get you on

Thanks man, I really appreciate the help I'm getting from you and a few
other members regarding 'the hunt'. Nothing helps like encouragement right?

1) I will try the staffing companies, honestly. I have not yet but I ran into a friend the other day who has a close friend that works at a staffing company. I'm going to try his company first, since I'm real close to his friend and we have similar lifestyles.

2) I'm not sure what we have in CA that would be equivalent to a 'workforce commission', but I've been meaning to get up to the county offices soon to see if they could help me out somehow.

3) Unfortunately my workforce network is pretty much nil, I've been trying to utilize it for years but I just don't know the right people. None-the-less, I keep an open mind to it and check back with people every few months.



I really hope something comes through... the more rejection I face the worse I get at job-hunting. Before my life took a down-turn, I considered my self FAR above the average for my age-range, I snagged jobs easily and kept them long. That was also before the recession though. It's just frustrating :o
 
Wow really? You've not seen Big with Tom Hanks where he grows into an adult overnight and plays the giant piano at the toy store? Add it to your queue or something 'cos it's a classic!! (just beware of Zoltar. I'm still coming down from THAT craziness.)
 
Yeah man this community we have here at Bluelight is all about support and helping others man. I am invaded by an empathy virus at all times so I can feel your frustration thorugh the cable wire running out of my apt ;)

The job market is bad in one way(35,000+ a year)...but the "job" market, not the "career" market is yours for the taking. The unemployment rates include those "too good" for blue collar work and those whose goal is to live off unemployment.

And yes BIG is a classic...used to love that scene with the carnival gypsy machine :)

That album Reptilians is amazing, I listen to it all the time.

Another band I like a real lot is Magic man, this song Monster is phenomenal.

You should give their album "Real Life Color" a listen, the whole things epic. :)
 
That pesky empathy stuff, such a bother ;)

I'm gonna look up BIG right now.
 
Doing it right now Carver.....so far so JAMMING :) Got a tingle working down to my toes and music is epic as fuck right about now. I also have been listening to Blakroc...one of my favorite rock/rap fusion albums....includes the Black Keys and a bunch of good rappers.

Well I used to listen to one of their songs A LOT, it was on a mix my friend made me, but now for the life of me I can't figure out what song it was.

It was a long time ago, so it must be one of there classics.

The albums I have right now are:
Reptilians
Jupiter
Les Mecs Sont Les Mecs
Starf-ker

But if it's one of those albums, I sure can't recognize it.

I'll try Real Life Color next. EDIT: Oh, this is a Magic man album, huh? Misunderstanding... But I'll check that out too!
 
I like music a lot, it keeps me sane.
One of my best friends is like REALLY good at finding new bands.

So he turns me on to a lot of things that I listen to.

Sometimes I like going to The Hype Machine, it's a great resource for finding tunes. :)
 
^ Gonna check that out...

I just listened to Magic Man - Polygons on youtube, I like it a lot!

I wish I would've stuck with playing music through my youth. That is one of my few large regrets.
P.S. That makes three of us. I definitely into the same style as you,
I can tell from the last three bands you've recommended (deerhunter, starfucker, magic man :D). So yeah – keep us posted!!
 
Hey trinitee what are you up to? Having a good night/morning?

Yeah ektamine my main thing in life is playing music...used to be crazy into the guitar and bass but I spend most of time playing piano/keyboards these days. I play a lot of jazz/bop guitar when I do get on the axe.
 
I will do my friend, I love sharing music with people.
It holds such a special place in my heart, seeing other people like the same stuff feels win <3

The Apples in stereo ~ Hey Elevator

This was my drone song last summer. %)
 
Yeah I remember you mentioning that a few times. Jazz is a great style. I'd love to start learning piano/keyboard again, I have so much creativity I could utilize but never gave myself enough of a chance to learn.

How long have you been playing?
 
Been playing guitar for about 16 years or so...piano about the same. Learned bass a few years back to help out my brother jam(he plays drums). I hate playing in "bands" though because one person always tries to lead....I am not a leader...just enjoy playing. The keyboards are awesome because you can play EVERYTHING. I can write the bass line, drum/synth part, cazy space sounds....you name it.
 
I like their old stuff a lot, the new albums a little different, it's hard to put a finger on.
Listen to the new one "Travellers In Space And Time" on empathogens it's out of this world.
It take's the experience to a totally new level, dials it up a few notches.

I love it when I'm sober though too, it's just that it blew my mind loved up a few times.

Dance Floor is a real good track :)
 
Good afternoon everyone :)

Just have to say that Mondays SUCK! Glad that it and work is out the way.

How is everyone?
