Lifelong friend, etc.
Dear diary today I’vent done much but I’ll prepare some dinner for a lifelong friend it’s gonna be Bolognese or something. We used to hang out a lot when we were young and we’d do a bunch of fun stuff like building computers and playing RPGs also he got me into Linux and it felt so cool listening to Eternal Tears Of Sorrow on xmms on Linux but I never got the Ethernet adapter to work so I had to circle back and give Linux another try again when I had more experience. The feeling I remember strongly still. Also a fun anecdote is his computer case and insides were a bit wobbly cause the parts in there were fastened with max 1 screw and the side of it was missing.
But anyway anyhow he’s a philosopher too and we used to talk about something I don’t remember, something about the Matrix; it was a pretty mind blowing movie and it had some deep lessons in there like when agent Smith said to Neo that humanity was a cancer and stuff like that and something with the red pill and the blue pill.
One thing which does not make sense to me in the Matrix is that when they unplug they have to eat gruel but why they make life so miserable for themselves?, they could simulate a steak dinner and a bubble Bath using their computer but presumably they ain’t got battery enough or something so they do not wanna waste electricity or something, don’t know I am not convinced.
