Job Sites

It wasn't gonna be long I am sure before I got to this. If you look closely It was inevitable.
You can look up jobs in your city, some other cityt or anywhere else. Websites are merging now, which means either more hope or discouragement on a grander scale. Does it surprise you?

Really folks, yahoo and moster joining forces means more folks have your shit to sell on the internet. really thats all.  I am not saying these sites are by any means worthless, I found a job on one of these sites. although I am tempted to say it is worthless, it does provide expediancy for those who want to feel self pity faster now with this merger. It may seem that I am being somewhat bitter but not really. I see a bigger cage for all the roaming fish of the sea looking for work to be gobbled up in by a shark of great prominence. Think I am joking?

Just today I sent out on a brand new email account my resume. In theory , it should be bare of any junk,.. voila SPAM!!!! Look this ties in with my social sites comments earlier. Its a fucking joke to say the least. Its all bullshit and these marketing folks are good at conning you into thinking that it's all for your benefit. (yeah and I have a model body and a large penis)

So in passing , mind you, I only let you know because if this was truly for your benefit, why do job sites need to merge? Aren't they cxompeting? Some employers are using both sites to find potential employees. Are they getting a refund? Is it Double dipping into an employers pocket? Wow, already its a con, and worse they may be less inclined to go to a major jobsite now.

BUT!!! You need to remember that its good for local sites right? Wrong,.. advertising space was paid to both and it seems they are one now,.. CON!!! Plus a lot of these local sites depend on there being a job to be found on one or more website to be found. They pay for this you know,.. Double dip again!!! CON!!

Look,.. it was nice they are merging perhaps as a marriage of convenience, but really I see this like the ploy of coca cola and their old and new coke campaign. (That was genius even if it was unintentional)

Its a bad thing to have this. but HEY!! what do I know?


This IS the trash talking techie again saying Good day!!

The rock n Roll Era. My heart is lost forever....



So I was looking around on the internet. (You know, that place? Where your neighbor is plotting against you? And, They're writing his or her own blog about it? Nevermind the fact that they are stupid enough to chew on the keyboard in anger and not realize this is public knowledge now.)


No really, I am looking on the internet and I found CCR on the "net". It's a kind of hokey moment where the albums I spun as a teenager at 33 and 1\2 are gone to binary bits with an MP3 extension. I felt a sullen, and subtle bitterness. Mostly for the idea that my roots in music were so easily accessible. No artwork, or album. No story of lawns mowed or dogshit removed on hot summer days. No explanation of the hunt for the album and the victory of purchase. Nor, the reward of playing said music on the stereo "turntable".


I see that the generation gap has been transformed into this vast chasm of instant gratification and music without any of the afore mentioned grief and tears. The experience of the album has seemingly gone to the wayside and no appreciation to the album art that accompanies the music. I shed a tear in chagrin. I was obsolete for my taste in music collection.
I was sharing this music with others ,of course, because I needed to know the lyrics and coudn't remember. I found them and the music together. I was shocked how I could easily get this and if I wanted I could buy this song for a buck. How cheap. (really that was what the button said to click your purchase request)


I am pointing this out because somewhere out there there must be other folks who appreciate the album for its art and the time "taken" to go and get the album. It in itself is an art that has been forgotten. I will divulge a little personal history now:


I would go on a day off and get a coffee from a coffe shop (not starschmucks) and sit outside and watch the morning traffic and light up a "fashionable" cigarrillo. I'd enjoy my coffee and nicotine breakfast. Especially if it was a weekday, I could watch the world rush to work and try killing everyone else trying to get there.


When I was finished doing so I would usually go over the the music store (another thing gone) and browse the isles looking for something to inerest me. Usually it was some form of rock and roll, but sometimes new age, or techno, disco, etcetera. The time was lost in browsing and trying to get something that would catch the eye. It was relaxing to do something constructive and yet so leisurely. The album found was the prize.


After purchasing this album, there miht be a meal because an hour or two would go by. and this was a treat too,.. usually a chili burger or chili fries. Maybe a coke or all of this would be sacrificed for an icecream sundae. I didn't matter, it was a "day off". The time was enjoyed in a slow and unfocused way.


Now I could finish this but I won't. That's because there is a point to make here. The music of yesteryear can be found quickly and be consumed like a hamburger at mcdonald's. Dont Believe me? (or maybe you do) Take a good look at the fast food music sites now and for a buck you get a song you want. Of course it will sit on the hard drive of you PC and collect data dust waiting to be played but instead of a beefy album or even a CD in a rack its all a single file on your PC now. It's kinda sad.


But, I am just pointing out that later you have nothing if the PC dies and nothing but aggravation to get that file back. Too bad you never took the time to get that album. Sure its 14 bucks for one song,.. but you have a master copy and great artwork. And think of the time you took to get it. was it fun? relaxing? Did you enjoy yourself?


 And, this is why my heart is lost. Because as I found something quickly, I saw also a time of enojoyment to a secret hobby was lost in the attainment of information. I hope your endeavors never get there.


Please note that its good to have music at your fingertips, but keep in mind you can only best experience it when there is a story to the "acquisition". How you met someone, watched some event as you were getting there or during the hunt. Maybe those fries you wanted were yours after you bought your album. Or just loaded in your cd player and donned your headphones and enjoyed the scenery as you had a coffee and cigarillo.


I don't know,  its your life,.. shouldn't it be enjoyable?


You choose.


Well good night for now,.. the eyes of my abode are watching me and plotting to kill me again on their own blog.


See ya all!!!!

So I was driving home one day.....what a gimmick!!


I see this guy on the corner of a main road and freeway. It's the same guy I see every day. He's not all there, and he does things from Flip off passers by to dance and gyrate to a set of headphones and nothing attached. He's not playing with a full deck, really.
But my relevance today is something I need to point out as I see computer commercials with their tiresome jingles and slogans. You see I likened these commercials to the same guy on the side of the road flipping people off or as I saw him just a few days ago, Strumming a guitar and giving devil or hang loose signs to folks.
DELL: yours is here. (Really? are you flipping me off?)

Sony: Believe anything you can make real. (yeah and strumming the guitar will make me rich by the freeway)

IBM\Lenovo: new world, new thinking (Uh what are you listening to there guy? I don't see your walkman)

Apple: a kind of fun....(Hey that trench coat looks warm. can I take that for you?)

HP: the pc is personal again (I need to know if you are telling me to fuck off or your just missing your meds again guy)



The long and the short is real simple. I will never take too seriously these guys as I don't the wandering lunatic on the side of the road. He's for real in one instance and that's he is consistent for someone who has truly lost his mind,.. the other guys I am making fun of have no excuse except that they continually still have the employee shift and making of parts that break too fuckin' easily.
I suggest the gimmicks cease and the flipping of of potential customer ceases as well. How about fixing your shit and putting out quality product again. Then I might buy into your fucking slogans and stupid commercials,.... otherwise I will still trash your shit,..

Then again I like that lunatic on the road,.. maybe he should be a marketing director for your products. at least he's honest.
