| RANDOM QUOTE | Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

This is here for no reason at all.

Well boys and grills, this is my first post ever from the exciting, dorky, yet none the less spectacular world of running Linux on your desktop. Not only posting from Linux, but also did all the (minor) image editing in The Gimp. Foo's run Linux on his desktop for some time now, then Jason jumped on the boat, but it took me finally getting another machine (beside my main one) that I could do with as I please, and still be capable of such a feat as running a GUI OS on it. I've had a plethora of Linux machines before, but never one that I actually used as I use Windows. They're usually sitting around somewhere, concealed from view, serving as routers, webservers or database servers. I have to say, the difference is jarring.
Not that it's a bad thing, just a thing. I suppose it was easier for me than it would be for your common joe, seeming as I've had experience (limited as it may be) with how the file system is set up and other such intricacies of the OS, but all in all it OK.
Well, I'm sure you didn't log on to my website to sit here and read me ramble on about inanities that you could give two shit fucks about, so I'll get to more interesting things.
I went to that "Club 360" last night, for the second time, and I have to say, and it must have been Soul Night or someshit cause I think we were the only crackers in the joint. I noticed a peculiarity about the black social scene though. You go to some trendy assed white club and nobodies there but late teen to early twenty hipsters, but last night that place was easily 50% middle aged people (dressing in current "Afro-Fasion" and dancing to modern rap and such).
But, it was the second time I'd been there, and the first time was pretty cool, but it was late by the time we got there and the party seemed to be winding down. All in all I'd go again if I could schedule it as to not coincide with some bounce fest. For those not "in the know", its a bar/club ontop of the World Trade Center here in New Orleans. Its circular in layout and, yes, it spins. Hence the Name, Club 360. What a bunch of fiery balls of fucking wit they are.
After that we went to the casino so I could get free drinks while watching in astonishment the dregs of society plunk entire paychecks and babyfood budgets into machines with blinkity lights and spinny eyes. Good Stuff. They don't like it too much when you say at the top of your voice "Look at all these winners!"
Well, I've rambled long enough, and I think I'm going out tonight so I must go powder my ass and put my ruffled tuxedo on. Peace be with you brother. And also with you.
