What's on your mind?

[alsughasoughaiuyfygh]

I've been thinking on how thankful and appreciative I am for all of you
giving me such great advice in my new thread.

but its on deeper fellowship

I've had one on Skype before. I found it to be a little easier- You're in your controlled space and more at ease.

Best of luck!

Thank you!

This one works through a software, so it's not live, rather the questions are in text format, you get a certain amount of time to read it, and then another timer starts to answer. You cannot see the questions in advance or anything, and you only get one go at it. God willing, let's see how it goes....

OMM: A dream I had a few nights ago after watching the movie, "I'm Not Ashamed".

I dreamed that I was back in school and I was falling behind on my Math, Science, and Social Studies classes. I was looking at my agenda of my yet to be completed assignments and thought, "I'm going to need help from my mother..." And then Dylan Klebold hands me a notebook saying that each classmate has to contribute something to it. I open the notebook and see a hand drawn comic by him and thought, "OK, I'll draw something." and so I did. I tried drawing my fursona wearing an army helmet and an eye patch and did a poor job of it. I then turn over the page and see a continuation of the comic and realized that I ruined his comic. I read the comic again and it was a very macabre one.

It was a rather unsettling dream.

That is, actually. Considering the context.

I only saw the Cinema Snob review that movie the other week, but from what I could tell, it was a strong point that PureFlix actually tried to make Rachel Scott still seem totally down-to-earth instead of holier than thou to everyone else in any way while still being a woman of faith. In the world but not of it, I guess you'd say.

Before it came out, people accused this film of being a Christian exploitation film because of the fact that they did a depiction of Columbine from a Christian perspective. I disagree.

Back in 2003, there were two films released based off of the Columbine massacre: Elephant and Zero Day. One was a pretentious art film and the other was a found footage styled film based off of the infamous Basement Tapes. Wouldn't these be considered exploitative? In a way they are romanticizing the killers and there have been a number of school shooters who listed these films as their favorites such as Jeff Weise and Kimveer Gill.

We typically get movies based on this tragedy from the killer's perspectives but not from the victims (From what I've seen so far). People got angry that they chose Rachel Scott because of the Christian themes. Would they have complained if another victim was chosen to tell his/her story with a secular look on it? I think it really shows how Christianity is generally viewed by the world of today.

Sigh... this world is both incredibly hard and incredibly dissapointing.

Just waiting till Jesus comes back when lion will lay with lamb and there won't be any more suffering.

That's the third post I've read like that this morning, and I must say that it's slightly disconcerting...

I was so excited at the chance of an interview and spent so much time thinking about it.

I just had it and I don't think it went well :/

It was through an online software program, where the questions are presented in text format. You get for example 1 minute to read the question, then the timer begins to answer it which for example you get 2 minutes.

Taking away the natural human to human communication and conversing aspect is a terrible way to interview IMO.

I felt I wasn't able to convey myself properly and didn't look good on webcam.

Plus having to look at the question, then up at the webcam to make 'eye contact' with the camera, then back at the question, while trying to piece together your answer..... *sigh*

I would have done so much better in a person to person interview. I think I can now cross this job off the list.

God knows best, I trust what you will bring.

Sorry to hear that.

I just had an interview for a job I was really hoping to get. It would have been so much more than a job and I typically really struggle with interviews but this one went really well. Unfortunately I didn't get it but I definitely took a lot away from it.

For what it's worth, one of the main issues I had in the past was communicating my answers. Retrospectively, I put comparatively little effort in to interview preparation in the past which is why this one stung a bit having put hours in to research and preparation, but one thing I looked up afterwards was something called the STAR model. Basically it's an outline for answer structure. Situation: What was the situation? Target: What was the target? Action: What action(s) did you take? Result: What were the results?

It's so simple that it seems painfully obvious now I've been made aware of it, but it's a great way to communicate your answers well to really sell any achievements or parts of your past that stand out and demonstrate a skill.

Anyway, that may all be extraneous if you know all of that already, but good luck in the future nonetheless. I'm hoping to find something new within the next couple of months, too.

You arent the only one that usually does horrible with interviews.

They want someone thats gonna blow smoke up their rears.

Im too honest in those things

"Why do you want to work for this company?"

They want to hear "Cause this company is my life"

I instead say "Cause I need to get paid."

Sorry you guys didnt get the positions.

 

[Swan7]

Honestly, I do a little background study to really get an idea of what the company is about, make up a few questions about the company and also about what kind of "team" they think they have within the work place. I interview the interviewer. Some are impressed by that and has landed me on the spot jobs in the past.

Nowadays, it's all about who you know and not what you know. The interviews have very much become hit or miss.

Id take the issue to God.... however with music as with any art its more important to get it out there and keep it out there than it is to study the crap out of it.

Toro, I just realized you have a Perfect Strangers quote in your sig. That is awesome, I loved that show when I was little.

I agree. I felt the same way. I understand the discouragement, but I sense that some are almost giving up on life. That is a little worrisome. If we give up and just resign ourselves to the next life, we lose all the chances to make a difference in the lives of others and to grow spiritually.

I thought I'd share a great quote by John Wesley, " Do all the good that you can, by all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can."

This life will never be a utopia. Injustice and cruelty are facts of life. We can and will long for heaven, but we need to remember we have a job to do here first. There is so much good than can be done in this life. We will regret the chances we missed to help others.

This tablet is frustrating.

 

[mojoboy31]

Now on find what mischief I can get into today... Got a Rockband 4 guitar for Christmas, wanted to get the drums, so my Bros and I could play like we used to. Had a deal lined up on a secondhand site since Friday to go pick up some slightly used drums tomorrow.

And the person sold them out from under me. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
