How TF is someone supposed to actually *COLLECT* unemployment?

My last job went under as a result of the economy. I got severance pay, I got assurance that unemployment wouldnt be turned down by the owner.. I paid the bills up for the next few months.

... and then I actually called the unemp. office and found that it's all online now. I cant get anyone to explain/walk-me-thru what this question pertains to, or when it's okay to file, what do these dates mean, and most importantly.. why am I being turned down while I'm legitimately looking for work? Meanwhile my friends/neighbors all over town submit what-the-hell-ever and the money always comes thru FOR THEM! Hmm, maybe I should go all Jerry-Springer-Guest and just start up franchises of **** all over to get government assistance, hmm?

I swear, it's moments like these where I wanna start up a couple credit cards and max them out because it seems I'm the only one not trying to fuck over Uncle Sam or skipping out on bills and I'm being left behind doing the right thing. wth?

Ehh, sorry to bother you but has anyone else actually dealt with unemployment? It's my first time and I'm getting nowhere. (I paid my friggin' taxes!)
