Grumble Grumble

-Okay, I’m quirky.

-I’m not a follower. I don’t consider myself a trend-setter. I don’t expect anyone to like or adopt my tastes or values.

- I don’t expect anyone to try to ram their values or tastes down my throat. And I hope that anyone who tries doesn’t believe I will let them get away with that.

- I have Mac computers. Several of them. And more than one are usually on and connected through a home network at once. I often have one playing a podcast or an internet radio show. I may be doing something work related with a second, and if that work is taking time, I may even be playing a game on a third while it sits there waiting for email or even and Instant Message if I’m feeling particularly adventurous.

-I (usually) like firefox and almost always use it for my browser.

- i don’t like the standard plain vanilla theme it comes with.

-I do like the glowy themes, blue and green particularly. (And I try to keep a different theme on each hard drive, so if I’m dealing with more than one computer at a time, I’ll know which computer I’m typing into by the theme it’s displaying?)

-I do not like and will not upgrade to Firefox version 2. (for the stupid ‘reason’ that I hate right clicking to open a new window, if I wanted to right click to open a new window with a link I could give myself a lobotomy and downgrade my existance to sub human and settle for a windows piece of shi—p computer.)

-So you may be able to conclude that I also refuse to ‘upgrade’ to firefox version 3.

-If you have reached that conclusion, you are right.

-Now I just signed up to be able to post reviews and/or comments on the firefox addon boards.

-it’s new year’s eve.

-I tried to post a review.

-it told me to go to my email and follow the ‘click here to confirm’ your registration snarr.

-I did.

-I clicked there to confirm my registration snarr and sat there while firefox tried to confirm my confirmation.

-when the colourful beach ball stopped spinning and the page started to load it started off with, “Invalid Confirmation Code”.

-I tried the ‘copy this entire link and paste it in your browser’ b.s. and that didn’t work either. == Invalid confirmation code. ==

-Ya know, it’s painful watching the human race self destruct. Everybody racing as fast as they can to make their own lives as miserable as possible, and then some…. then racing even harder to make the lives of everyone around them as miserable as possible.

—Woldn’t it be nice if this year all of a sudden everybody woke up and realized they don’t want to make themselves and everybody else miserable?

— Am I halucinating the chorus to Aerosmith’s “Dream On-” ?

— Probably.

Happy New Year.

Don’t blow the opportunity to make this life liveable, okay?
