Annoying irony and disappointment

Well I was learning how to play an acoustic version of Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra on my guitar, and a severe thunderstorm/possible tornado warning came on the TV. Does God like to play practical jokes on people? And I didn’t even get to see a good storm! It split in half and dissipated just before it passed over us, so I didn’t even get to see a cool storm. Oh well. So if I want it to be sunny and then rain do I half to learn how to play Raindrops Keep Fallin’?

Problems with Firefox or Fedora?

Is it me or is Fedora’s Firefox slow? This is really noticable on my machine when viewing Myspace pages, especially ones with playlists. With pages like these, it scrolls reaaaally reeeeeaaaaaly slooooowly. Also, it seems to load pages much slower than in Windows (something in Windows that is actually better than its Linux counterpart?!?!?)

Another problem that I’ve noticed is that when running Blender, it shows the title bar, but if I try to drop down a menu like File, or Render, It shows a white square, about the same size as the menu should be covering the GNOME panel, and it looks like the Blender panel that the File, Render, etc, menus are on covers the GNOME Panel, but if I move my cursor over icons or click on GNOME menus, it replaces that section of the Blender panel with the menu or whatever I clicked on, kind of like a hallucination, if that makes any sense.

The mainstream media strikes again

Anyone else notice how those kids’ parents sued Michael Jackson so they could get money off a celebrity, and the media hounded him untill his death, yet as soon as he dies they make him look like a saint??? The governor of Illinois or some other Midwestern state is passing legislature to make his death a national holiday. Does this seem strange to anyone? The media is full of nothing but liars and hypocrites, and anyone who disagrees is brainwashed.
