  1. Hey, I'm not sure if I am slow learner. In college, I pretty much took every class over again... I'm not sure because I am slow or I just didn't care. I think it's more about I don't care about subjects. But also...I'm a dweller. I don't think I learn it "slowly"... I just get behind in things. I tend to make things a lot more difficult than they should be...I can over analyze things a lot. So I get caught up in the matter that is irrelevant. I have to make up the slack...and I get behind... Yeah...If I could take drugs for it...I would.
  2. Hey.. I'm just curious about all of this. Do girls dig a "mysterious" guy at a party? A bar? A show? In a crowd? At school? In class?.... Or...does the situation help if you are invited to a "get together", and you (the mysterious one) let your friend do all the interaction. They either want to know about you are just think that you are lame because you are not a social person... Basically what I am saying...is, that the "situation" has a lot to do with it. What do you guys think?
  3. hey thanks...for the comments.. But seriously... I think it's strickly by the looks. I'm taking on a new direction on this one. I'm pretty sure if I say a joke to a girl they will think it's stupid or don't give a crap. But a better looking dude says the same exact joke...they are all up on them. I think girls are a lot picky on looks than guys are. The not so good looking guys are the ones girls "tell all their problems about" and "tease" them. I hate that crap.
  4. Are girls really attracted guys like this...or is it strictly by their looks? Thanks!
  5. I actually work at a Sam's Club...but I'm pretty sure it's the same test. The whole test is about how honest a person is and how much you might rat on someone... As long as you don't give a "high rating" on the most absurd ones...like "yeah, I would smoke weed before I clocked in"... or " yeah, If I found some beer while I worked I would drink it and not tell anyone." Also,...Walmart won't hire unless they are looking for employees. I had applied at Sam's Club twice before I got it. The third time was when they put a "classified ad" looking for help. CARTS and CASHIERS are the easiest to get a job. Carts --- no one wants to do crap in the rain, thereforeeee no one really applies....and Cashiers --- the turnover is crazy....2 warnings and you are pretty much gone. Good Luck! ---
  6. I really think that if you get a job, you'll feel better about yourself and your mom will be more likely to support your music. I think most parents have a hard time supporting their childrens' dreams as they grow up. Especially in the arts....for young painters, it's the worst. The idea of parenting is to "be there." Well, when it comes to money...I'm pretty sure they don't want to "be there." A parents biggest fear is that their children won't be able to take care of themselves. Financially, is the top one. You can't go anywhere in life, without money. That's a fact. I wouldn't beat yourself over getting a job...but I would suggest, ever so often put in an application. Telling your mom that you really want a part-time job might help too. Before I got my job, my parents were always on my * * * about something and wouldn't leave me alone. They didn't really care about my music. Now, they give me more space,...and occasionaly will ask me if "I'm still playing.." and they always suggest of me "going out and jamming with people." They are willing to help out because they know if it doesn't work out...I am still paying my bills. --- Later ---
  7. My parents tried to "trick" me into talking to a professional one-on-one. That was funny. I went with their "trick." I think the guy got pissed off. I don't appreciate liars. My parents thought I was depressed. I'm not a depressed person...just pissed that I am the way I am. I'm more embarrased than anything. Now, here is the kicker. I was born with bad hearing. I used to wear hearing aids --- just imagine the crap I had to go through during my school years (all the way into 7th grade)--- I had an operation which allowed me to hear slightly better. Enough, that I didn't need hearing aids. For some dumb reason, I decided to pick up guitar when I was like 11. I've been in bands...and I was the only one wearing ear plugs. I also got into recording...but when I went to college, (for recording!!!) I kind of got this feeling why I am doing this? I don't have the greatest ears in the world? So I changed my major...but I changed it 4 more times...I was clueless and indescisive. Well, now...I'm not in a band anymore...And I've been freaking out for the past 4 years...because my hearing will occasionly get worse. That's one reason why I don't like going out. It kind of bothers me. Sometimes I think it's all in my head. I really do believe my mind has something to do with it. I'm way afraid to go an ear doctor. If I have to wearing hearing aids again I'll probably run off a bridge. So, that's a reason why I don't like playing my guitar anymore. I'm terrified that I'll go deaf...and I am very envy of people who play music without ear plugs and have perfect hearing. So... I really feel screwed sometimes. All my life people have made fun of me. That's all I know in life. I never take compliments...because I feel they are fake. I make fun of myself with others. It's in my nature. The hardest part is when... I'm not talkative and observant. That's my TRUE SELF. People hate that... because they always think something is wrong...so I have to PRETEND to be: Talkative, outgoing, and just annoying. That's me in a nutshell.
  8. Hey.. I'm not really into jazz but I greatly appreciate guitarists who play it. The fact that you are "going down hill in life" makes no sense to me. The fact that you still want to play guitar is a good sign bro. I'm 26 years old, didn't get my first job until I was 24, never been on a date before, my father says the same things...about things I want are "wasteful" or "toys"...he doesn't care about my passion for anything, unless it's business. Playing music is a lot harder when you are my age. I don't have the desire anymore. That's because I don't do it for the passion. I wanted to get greedy and make money. That's a hard task...A lot of musicians feel this way. I think I have been brainwashed by the music industry and my parents. In Jazz, you might have a problem playing with people because they just can't keep up with you. I don't know if you go to college, but you can probably go and find a drummer in their music program. Honestly, why do you need a half stack? Is it for image? If you are doing recordings...then a combo amp would do just fine. Or jazz clubs. Most Jazz clubs are "Quiet"...so the guitarists don't have half-stacks. About the job thing....trust me....be a cart guy for Wal-mart. Easy as crap and you don't have to deal with people. You get paid a lot more than a grocery store. Good Luck bro!
  9. I honestly have a hard time enjoying things. The only thing I truly love is watching Charmed. I don't know why really. I get annoyed with people too easy. They get too uninteresting at times. I want something different all the time. I think that's why I strive to be in different groups. I'm neutral in about everything...not much opinion on anything. I don't care...seriously...I don't care about a lot of crap...maybe that's why I can get along with anyone. I listen what they say and go with it. Maybe I should be a judge?! About my relationship. I kind of want a "sex"buddy. But sometimes I want a girlfriend... I don't know. I can't make descisions very well. I changed my major 5 times in college! I have a fear of dying alone. I would like to cuddle with someone everynight. That's probably the reason why I am desperate to get a girl. It hurts to be surrounded by people who are married, hooked up, or have been in a relationship before. They all have stories and I have none. They like to tease me too. It hurts even more when they never hook me up with their friends,...because behind my back, they hook someone else. A lot of times I think they feel sorry for me and that's why they even talk to me. Thanks!
  10. This question is mostly for the girls. What are certain attributes to stay away from? So you don't look desperate. At my age, I feel a lot of pressure in being in a relationship. Helpful hints would be nice. I think this is my main problem. Thanks
  11. Honestly, I want to be part of the A&R department for a record label. Maybe a talent scout. The problem is my age... seriously. Record labels want young scouts. Most record labels have internship programs, but are unpaid and usually you need to be in college. I'm in my last semester for Video Production. I tried to get an internship with a record label but my school thought it was a little silly, since I am a Video Production Major. My parents are a BIG problem. They pretty much control me. It's hard to break it....I mean, they support me financial...since the only thing I officially own is my labtop and a few movies.
  12. I'm 26 years old and I have never accomplished anything. At least for myself. Relationships --- never had one, never been on a "real" date, never been kissed, etc... School --- Who gives a crap about my stupid degree? That was 5 years of waste... I didn't learn a thing! In one ear and out the other! And now I am about to get an associates degree in something I don't care about. Maybe an accomplishment to other people, who actually wanted to go to school. Money --- don't have much...Didn't get my first job until I was 24. I'm a cart attendant. What are you suppose to accomplish by the time you get to my age,? 26? I feel like a complete failure!!! --- Thanks!
  13. This is really general but I feel like I am a "death poll" Right before I went to college I had a friend that was killed. (18) 5 years later I come back to my hometown. A friend from highschool got killed. (24) Another friend got killed. (25) One of my new found friends mother recently passed away. (26) Am I bad luck??? Do I need to move out of town again?
  14. I'm not an expert...but when some you love commits suicide, do you want to do the same thing? I'm not trying to say --- don't help her ---but I like to think outside of the box. Let's examine things....be a detective! IS there a way to contact the boyfriend with out her knowing...like..."hey your boyfriend knows about this subject, I need some help on it..." and somehow ask him what he thinks without her knowing. Also....do the same she is! Have you noticed in conversations that there is always one person to "up you" in a story! Pretend that you are feeling really depressed about something...make her feel like she needs to be the hero! --- Doug
  15. I've come to a conclusion... I'm not very good looking but I have the guts to approach a girl in a crowd. I can talk to them and start a semi-conversation... When is the best time to ask for there number? Or how do you ask them? Thanks!
