Ubuntu/Linux

So, I finally stopped sitting on the fence and got rid of Ubuntu from my brother's computer. This was helped by the fact that I unwittingly installed two versions of Ubuntu on the same computer - lol. The boot screen was a mess, offering me two versions of Vista, two of Ubuntu 8.04, and two of Ubuntu 9.04, as well as the security backup drive - 7 to choose from!!

So in the end, after doing some web research, I downloaded SuperGrub, and used it to fix the bootloader, and then went and deleted all the Ubuntu partitions. Then I installed Ubuntu again, just to see how wubi works. Wubi, is by far and away the best way for newbies to see Ubuntu first hand, without compromising their system...It installs Ubuntu as a program within Windows, and thus allows for an incredibly easy uninstall as well, should the person decide that they don't want Ubuntu anymore - no messing with the bootloader... nothing. Remarkably ingenious idea, and one which people should have seen earlier.

Anyways, after installing Ubuntu (again), I decided to get rid of it (again). The reason for doing so in my case is stunningly simple...Ubuntu is an incredible solution, but to a problem I do not have, therefore I do not need it.

I don't need a computer with a brilliant, easy to use, non-Windows interface, which allows me to do exactly what I want, and never crashes...because I already have one...my mac . If however, my mac were to die tomorrow, I would definitely install Ubuntu and be quite happy to use it in preference over Windows, at least until Windows 7 comes out

Bliss.

OK...I've been on a happiness high for a few days now...and it just feels amazing. I'm smiling all the time, and wish I could flash a huge smile at everyone I talk to. It's like I've broken out of a shell...or I was blind, and now I'm seeing things anew, in vivid, deep colours.

After all the spiritual loss of the past months, it's the perfect time to be going the other way, and I'm quite glad that all this has been happening now, just in time for me to take advantage of the Holy Months.

I'm grateful for the chance to be good again, and especially grateful for the catalytic experience.

Metamorphosis

From hate to love...
the easiest step to make
yet the hardest as well.
the toughest challenge
to go deep within
and think of those
who have hurt you
and decide
to love them
to thank them
for lessons learned
and genuinely wish
the other well
in all that they do

It all starts with
making the choice
the choice to grow
above circumstance
above pain
and do the right thing

its not easy
but it's worth it :)

---------------

It is totally worth it...totally.

New beginnings.

Finally, I'm feeling better about myself, and ready for the next challenges that life will bring. I'm grateful for the little progress I have made/am making. Previously, all I wanted to do was to lose myself in my fave TV shows, and do the bare minimum with regard to work and spirituality. Now I'm changing slowly, and feeling awesome about doing so. I'm almost done with all my TV shows as well, just 4 more episodes of Hustle and 18 more of House to watch before I am done, which I make to be about 18 hours of TV to watch, which I will be done with soon, iA. I don't know why I'm so set on finishing these shows, but I am, so I'll just finish them.

I've done more recently, and been more productive. I've also somehow found myself running the house by myself, which is an unusual situation, and one I definitely didn't plan on, but am happy to accept and learn and grow from. I get to live and try and implement the simple life i've been yearning for. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm on the way there.

To new beginnings,
and renewal,
and spritual building,
and not wasting the three holy months.

As I write this...I'm smiling broadly...what a difference a few months make.
