I urge everyone to click RIGHT HERE now and switch their inferior browser to Firefox. I speak mostly to those who are using Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer (IE) is incredibly unstable because of frequent crashing and sluggish loading times. If your anything like me, you constantly using and relying on your web browser to not suck. When in the middle of sending an Email or searching for videos on Youtube, your browser takes a dump and crashes because you are using Microsoft's weak software. Now I'm actually a fan of Microsoft products and software, but IE just can't win me over.
Firefox is so much better because of many of the add-ons, costomizeablity (it's a word now), and is much faster and reliable. The ability to add on features such as Foxytunes (lets you play music while you surf the web using music from your library) certainly makes the tuneless world wide web tuneful. You can choose skins for your Fox if the default is too boring for you making customization a whole lot sweeter.
If constant crashing and poor performance doesn't bother you, then keep IE and disregard everything you just read.

Verizon's Chocolate has a Bitter Taste
The sleek design of the rectangle we all know as the Chocolate is a piece of junk. I have had a model that lasted about 10 months only to get it replace with the exact same model. It was riddled with hardware failure and "sticky" buttons. Well technically there are no buttons on the face of the phone, which adds to the sleekness and subtracts to the quality. But these "areas" you touch become uber sensitive and end up repeating an infinite cycle of the programed action. Much to my dismay, this was a problem with a large number of the Chocolate phones.
With a pretty face and piss poor functionality, these kind-of-but-not-really buttons shown in the picture would constantly get stuck. For instance the down arrow is a short cut to my calendar. Pressing it once brings it up, then goes down to the next week, then the next week, and before you know it you are several months IN THE FUTURE! If I wished to open up the menu and scroll to an option, I would scroll around everything turning my phone int
o a bitch game of Wheel of Misfortune. Then the send button would constantly get pushed and call whomever happens to be the most recent missed, received, or called person. Of course I wasn't aware that I was calling some one until I checked my phone to see the time and realized I had been leaving a 5 minute voice mail to my friend. How dandy.
When the phone did decide to cooperate with me, it had about 2.5 to 3.5 second lag time when I pushed a button. I would end up opening something I didn't want to. Overall the functionality of the phone diminished luckily for me within the time limit of the warranty. But rather then let me choose a phone that would work properly, they just handed me another crappy Chocolate.
With a phone like this who needs enemies...

Whats your Flavor?
If its cherry, we are mortal enemies. EVERYTHING has a cherry flavor. Its very annoying to see how many ways we can get some ridiculous fruit in so many forms. Cherry is so damned overrated! There's Cherry Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Starburst, Ice cream, popsicles, lolipops, poptarts, cough drops... to name a few. In fact Verizon has a "cherry" Chocolate cell phone. So much cherry!
Ive just been getting over a cold, and my loving aunt went out and bought me a big bag of cherry flavored cough drops. Yippee! rather than order her to take it back to the general store, i just put up with it. Getting over this cold couldn't be more hellish.
Rather than think of a radical solution for my loathsome attitude to cherries, taking time out of this evening to complain about it seems to soothe the hatred. And I've got to say...

Political Rightness
I have a black friend. Thats right. Black.
Not African American because then i would be lying. I'm not sure why people try to be "politically correct" and avoid actually being truthful with themselves. Its completel bullshit is what it really is. My friend is from England. Now I'm no geologist, but i think England is in Europe. Does that still make him African American? Or is he European American? We must go out and make up something smart sounding and "correct". Now I'm not saying there aren't black people from Africa, but get real. Theres white people from Africa too. If they moved here to the USA, no one would call them African American.
We must "correct" our speech to not offend anyone. God forbid we offend anyone! Holy shit thats probably the worst we could possibly do to someone!
Please.
Political correctness is a step backwards in the ideology of humanity. We are just making ourselves more ignorant by tagging groups of people with a general word.
Back when i was in high school, we would have all sorts of fun different clubs, including ethnic clubs. These included: The Asian Club, Black Student Union (BSU), and Mexican something Club something something (MECHA). But a White union/club/organization was outlawed. Reverse discrimination is in play here. Its political incorrect to have a white group because its "racist". I'm disgusted single ethnic clubs. Heres a better idea, so no one is left out. Create a world ethnic club, that includes everyone! AMAZING! Problem solved!

Fridays
Fridays are greAt. With a capital "A" of course.
It signifies the end of a long week, and the beginning of a short break before going back to the same old routine again. Fridays pwn!
I strongly believe in the restaurant's catch phrase advertisement that claims, " Everyone could use more Fridays". The calendar should include more Fridays in the week. If i was put in charge of this task, it would look something like this:
Sunday, Monday, Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday, Saturday, Friday.
The reason behind putting a Friday right after Monday, is because Mondays just suck... But that's an article for another time.
Right after work or school, Its great to just finally kick off your shoes, use gravity to your advantage by slumping on the nearest couch, and finally using any spare energy to turn on the TV with the remote. For me, an evening Starbucks run hits the spot like nothing else.
Of course Fridays aren't always just relaxed and lazy. For instance, its also a time to party it up!
Sure as hell, there is no other way to celebrate Fridays with or without occasion. With that said, I'm going to enjoy the rest of this day while there's still time.
later till next time.

Intro
Hello world wide web!
After numerous hours of spending invaluable time on Myspace, I realized I could be spending my time doing something of equal importance! Blogging. Sick of reading "COMMENT ME!!1" bulletins, I decided to cease using Myspace, but have not decided to terminate my account.
I do have a Facebook however, so i think im taking a step forward and a step back. Ya... But enough about why Myspace sucks.
My good Friend kind of introduced me to the idea of internet community, via blogging, podcasting, Vloging, and other fun forms of posting your innermost thoughts on the internet. So i decided to give it a try, and start with the most familiar known source of EVERYTHING!
Google.
So far its pretty great, the interface is easy to use and looks brilliant! I notice there is a picture section, in which I will probably get around to sooner or later. (most likely later... way later).
Well thats all for now, later.
