A brief taxonomy of haters, in order of least to most worthy: 1. Contrarian - the worst kind; completely unmoored and childish. Sometimes lobbed as an insult unfairly but not always. 2. The Deranged - just hating on someone or something obsessively, usually deservedly but to the point of excess. I can kinda respect it but at some point you‘re just inflicting psychic damage on yourself. 3. The Principled Hater - a stone in the stream, a person with a vantage point and a sense of taste who understands their own subjectivity. Willing to give anything a fair shake but unwilling to pretend to like something they can’t bring themselves to.

This is a Rec on how to stay sane, not how to get out, unfortunately. I have been (mostly) unemployed for like almost a year aside from short stints or gigs. it’s been awful awful awful BUT AMC A List became my light at the end of the tunnel, truly. $25 a month for 3 “free” movies every week. I use it as a treat after trudging through applications or to have something to look forward to. And, yes, you can watch as many free movies as you want on your laptop in your room but having a place to go or a plan at the end of a grueling day is great.

New York's Hottest Club is....Film Noir Cinema's Thursday Night Film Club! On April 18th at 9PM I'll be showing a personal favorite film of mine at the greatest little theatre in the city, so come on down to 122 Meserole Avenue in Greenpoint. Tickets are $10 cash, $5 beers and $3 sodas, plus a myriad of pierogi joints nearby for you to grab a bite at beforehand.

check songkick or other such sites for bands, wander around a neighborhood to find fun spots and thrift stores instead of relying solely on search engines. If you see someone at a gathering wearing something interesting, compliment them on it and ask them where they got it. In short you have to go out in the world and be attentive to it. Sorry if this is corny or useless.
