The Cynic Says……

So I just recently remembered that I have Fedora Core 3 Linux installed on my computer at home but I never bother to boot into it. Reason? No NTFS support natively. All my drives are NTFS and all my mp3’s are on NTFS drives, so not being able to access them is somewhat of a problem. Also, Windows is doing just fine and haven’t had any real reason to boot into Linux. I haven’t even had the urge to dick around and/or “tinker” with Linux. As it is, I reboot maybe once a month when I do major updates to my machine since now I really only use it for email, chat, web surfing, etc. I have this powerful computer and hardly ever play games on it. I guess it’s just that when I get really bored on the computer I go bike riding instead of playing games.

Honestly, I’ve not even been taking the time to update my website like I had been before. I’ve been out riding way too much. Not that that’s a bad thing, I don’t guess. I just wish it would hurry and warm back up so I can ride later into the night and not have to worry about freezing my fucking nuts off. I’m lucky to get 40 miles a week in because of this shit weather we’ve been having. I want to move to Florida or something where it’s 70 in February.

The last couple of days (Christmas Eve & Christmas Day) have been slow at work, but I don’t mind. Basically I end up getting paid 2.5x normal pay just to sit around and deal with 25 calls in an 8 hour period. I don’t celebrate Christmas anyway, so I might as well work and make some extra cash. I’ve never seen a point in Christmas, to be honest. I don’t have any family around here to exchange gifts with, nor do I have the desire to exchange gifts with my friends. I spend $50 on you, you spend $50 on me… net = $0, what’s the point? Might as well spend $50 on ourselves and get exactly what we want! Oh well… I don’t do holidays and I’m not big on gifts or whatever. I guess I’m a scrooge, but who cares?
