Why Would I Write

  • Cold Cash and Colder Hearts

    I first discovered this band alongside Coheed and Cambria on the MTV Road Rules compilation. The Thrice song was “See You In The Shallows” and my god, was that song amazing. As usual, like with every band I have come to love, I went looking for more of their music. I discovered a handful of songs from the band through SoulSeek (or was it Kazaa? I don’t remember) and was hooked. I think it was around the time when they had just released their single “All That’s Left” which made me drop money without hesitation for their The Artist In The Ambulance album at a CD store.

  • Of Wasted Food And Hungry People

    When I was younger, I was constantly reminded by my mom to finish all the food on my plate. I was told to never leave a single grain of rice. I remember being told that if I didn’t finish my rice, my future wife would have tons of pimples on her face (corresponding to the number of rice grains I didn’t finish). Now, I don’t remember if I believed her when I was a kid, but I did it anyway. It didn’t matter how much food was on my plate – I always made sure it was clean by the end of my meal.

    Living with Linux: one month report

    It’s been over a month since I first installed Linux on my sister’s old laptop and I haven’t regretted it yet. In fact, I think it’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I always had an interest in the operating system. Back in highschool, I even bought ‘The complete idiot’s guide to Linux’ (which I’m sure is completely outdated today) which came with a free Linux installation CD.

    However, back then I wasn’t brave enough to completely wipe out my family’s computer operating system just to give it a shot (I didn’t have a spare computer lying around back then and I wasn’t extremely well versed in formatting computers). Fortunately this also meant I saved myself the trouble of teaching my family how to relearn using the computer.
