I don't get Firefox fans

Firefox fans are just like Mac fans (I use both Firefox and a Mac), they go out of their way to spread the word of Firefox or Macs, and anyone who says they're using an alternative, they bash, it annoys me, sure I'dd love to see all my friends use Firefox and Macs, but it'll never happen, so I don't bitch and whine to them about it.

I've used Gecko based browsers MUCH LONGER than the average Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape 7/8x user, I used some of the original Milestone builds back in 2000, I don't want the word of Mozilla bytched to me, I already know how good Mozilla/Firefox are, if I say my Firefox isn't working, I don't want to hear how it's all my fault and that it should work.. yadda yadda yadda. Firefox and Mac followers are like their own religious groups, they're willing to do whatever they can to spread the word.

I use Safari as my default browser, mainly because Firefox still needs alot of tinkering until I'll think about using it as my default browser, the UI speed is very slow, I can "feel" the bloat.. weird huh? Literally half the time I try to start up Firefox, it doesn't start up! Firefox is heck alot better now days than it was a year or 2 ago, the default theme actually LOOKS Mac-like now, Qute not only looked too Windows-like, but it also didn't blend with the UI theme colours, so if you had a dark theme in use, it would have a dull grey background no matter what.. this applies to a large majority of Firefox themes though.. most of themes purely suck, the Pinstripe theme and the two Mozilla suite-like themes are the only themes that are any good. I use firefox once in a while, but not as my default browser, I just don't want to have 8 tabs open and having the busy cursor pop in and never quit. The extensions on the other hand are pretty decent, many kudos to the guys who created the bugmenot extension, there were so many decent extensions over the ages, but most of them died off over time, there was an MSN Messenger extension that worked similar to how the webmessenger does now, I wonder why someone can't make an AIM extension? someone could port the aim protocol from Netscape 7x and clean up the code so it will work in firefox, and voila, but the AIM program within Netscape 7/8 is just terrible, on Mac it will never compare to iChat, and on Windows it's somehow not as great as the default AIM client.

I've seen many changes in the Mozilla field over the last 5 years, the original versions started up fast but were slow, had a very grey ui (somehow the Netscape 8 ui is going back to the original Netscape 6 days), then as time went on it started to allow themes to be installed, at first there were only 2-3 themes around, the pinball was the most popular theme for a while, then around 2001-2002 tabbed browsing came around in Mozilla.. it was a very huge innovation, the UI of mozilla changed a few times to the current theme.. it used to have more colour than it does now, pop-up blocking started up.. it wasn't that great at first, but got alot better over time and it was a big innovation, new icons came in the fall of '02 (or was it '03?), more themes came out and about, and with every .1 release came incompatibilities. Firefox (Phoenix then Firebird) was introduced in Oct '02 (or was that '03?), I still remember the very day it was released, at first I didn't really like it since I preferred the all-in-one style.. but heck, it was very very fast and simple, and it used the Orbit theme, and for a few .x releases didn't even have a theme manager and for a few .x releases still had the mozilla icon, David Hyatt said specifically that this browser would never be released to Mac, since back then nobody thought this was going to be a "everyone's" browser (since there already was Camino.. which was called Chimera back then), then everything was changed when Firefox added an extensions manager, it changed the way people browsed, and then Safari 1.0 Beta was released and Firefox caught on with the search bar beside the address bar idea, and over time themes changed and it's at where it is now, and now it has other features such as RSS feeds, import wizard and a bunch of other stuff, Firefox has came a long way but I just feel as if as time went on, Firefox just kept getting slower and slower, Firefox used to launch faster in the original versions when it was basically 80% of the whole mozilla suite with functions disabled, than it does in 1.x.

Work sucks anyways!

I applied for a job about 2 weeks ago, I went in for a test and an interview last friday, I thought all went well since I did fine on the test. I got a letter in the mail today saying I didn't get accepted for the job. Pretty weird concidering all my friends who applied at that place ALL got accepted, I don't know anyone who got rejected.. until now.. but c'est la vie. I'll stay with my minimum wage merdish job I guess.. It's now been 15 places I applied in a year, and only getting accepted at one.. wow I guess my "going to school" (university) is not worth it, spending thousands of dollars a year just to get freaking minimum wage fast food restaurants, while I have friends who never graduated highschool and never will who have jobs that pay very well enough to be their careers for the rest of their lives.

Lucky them.

Another day, another beer

I've gotten to the point where I'm buying beer almost every day, I really should seek help sooner or later, I'm spending more money on beer than anything, I purchased over $16 worth of beer yesterday and already done it all, wow, I think I need help, but that's what happens when summer comes around... a few months early.

I haven't worked much in the last few weeks either so I'm pretty short of cash, and my next pay check wont be coming for another 2 weeks.. go me!

If only money grew on trees

Today I went to the bank to get some checks (for sending my parents the money I owe them each month), I went to the bank, asked for checks, it's setting me back $20, 20 bucks isn't much, but for CHECKS... PIECES OF PAPER.. it's too much, especially since I don't need many at all, just 10 max, but I have to order 200, and I got the cheapest ones and supposed to come in 2 weeks, for 20 bucks, either they're gypping me, or they'dd be really fancy or something... I don't need fancy checks, I just need simple CHEAP checks so I can send a check to my parents once a month.. but anywho..

I went to school today for 2 meetings and to drop off the tuition payment, it was $940 for 3 courses, PLUS a 20 dollar fee.. all because the university didn't send the bills to the right address (or same name)... I've told them before.. but whatever I guess, so I had to take that money out of my debit card.. it's going to be a cash strapped month.. I owe the parents 200 bucks or so.. and a big social is coming up soon...UGH!

I went to the poli sci club meeting today (I'm the darn secretary), it was boring, but quick, very quick. We had to go to the bank to set up signing authorities for the club because the old administration was just recently desolved for lack of interest. Came back to the school to talk to a few people, I ended up staying a bit too long and ended up being involved in the Liberal club's meeting, they call themselves liberals but they're more conservative than liberal.. military tax?!?! pft... and I always hear that the NDP (aka "socialists") are the ones who tax tax tax, when its conservatives who had some of the biggest federal tax policies in Canadian history, including the introduction of the GST... where does that money go to? paying for ships that don't work? a failing healthcare system? or just giving their friends cushy jobs with salaries in the millions?

if this works.. whoa

Done my finals

Finally done my final exams.. thought I'dd NEVER get through this semester.. but FINALLY DID!!!

I wrote my poli sci final test 2 weeks ago, my french test a week ago on monday, and my history exam tonight.. there were people done writing the exam half an hour after the exam began!! They definitely failed.. ah well, u dont study, u fail, unless if they're know-it-alls who can write quickly.. if so.. boo urns

There's a guy who keeps bragging about how he got an A/A+ on an assignments for history course, and he was bragging that he has the top mark and crud like that, he was still writing when I left... hopefully he fails lmao.. jk

The first question I did was on "Why did the colonies that make up Canada decide not to join the US revolution", I didn't get my point across probably.. i described the situation why they didnt, and the 2nd question was "why didn't the aboriginal population kick europeans off their land", mainly giving examples such as inferior technology, needing europeans to trade after a certain point in time, etc

wish me luck

LIFE FREAKING SUCKS

I try and try and try to make friends, but I just can't keep any, I try making friends from my classes, try making friends of people I meet at socials/parties/etc and it just does not work! KEEPING friends is a whole other story.. I lose more friends than make, I lost my fucking best friend just a week ago because she would rather keep on dreaming that her ex boyfriend is going to come back to move in with her than me who was always there from her whenever she was pregnant (she's pregnant yet again), whenever she got cheated on, whenever she had emotional problems, etc. Her ex probably will end up moving back in for a few days then move back cuz he's a damn jerk and treats her like shit, he constantly talks shit about her behind his back, yet she still loves him.. some people.. people say that "you will always make better friends", I haven't made any friends in over half a year so I guess it's not true.

My love life is even worse.. haven't been in a relationship in almost 20 months, and was supposed to date a girl a month ago but then she turned into a bitch and started talking shit about me and that was the end of it.. I always pick the worst quality girls.. but that's all I can get... someday I'll find someone.....someday, may not be today, may not be tomorrow, may not be 10 years from now, but someday..
