Mostly, I stayed in all day...
PROGRAMMING/LINUX MINT OS/OPERATING SYSTEM
I studied some programming stuff...in particular, I tried running Linux Mint OS.
- https://www.linuxmint.com
...the problem was I had burned it to run from a DVD disc; and, that meant each time I had to restart the computer...and, 'wait' sometimes up to: 10/20/30 minutes...for the damn operating system to load...??? Sometimes, I just gave up 'waiting'...; plugged out the computer from the back...and, rebooted into Windows 10 Pro.
Another time, it all worked perfectly fine...until I tried shutting down the computer...; and, the damn thing kept spouting out endless error messages...?! So, once again, I had to pull out the back power chord...just to be able to reboot into Windows 10 Pro.
Each time the program went and successfully loaded, however...; I started to become more and more familiar with using Linux Mint OS; and, even got to like it...when everything was up and working right.
My own guess is, I'm going to have to figure out some way to install the thing...in full/as opposed to just doing a partial 'try out'...; then, hopefully, things will run a lot more smooth. For now, though, waiting for it to load...is no fun at all. In the days of 'instant' computing...and, SSD drives...; we are no longer willing to sit and 'wait'...?! Instead, we just wish to get on with working, immediately, right away.
10:50 PM WENT TO BUY THE CAT SOME PELLET FOOD...COSTING: £3.00 A BOX
I constantly debated about whether to go out down the road to go and buy the cat some pellet food; which had run out completely.
As usual, I tend to leave everything right up until the very last moment. So, with just 10 minutes left before the CoOp superstore closes...I started running off down the road.
As soon as I reached the bottom of the road...luckily, a 68 bus came; which took me 2 stops down...where I got off...crossing over the road; and, entering into the CoOp.
I brought one box of Whiskas cat pellet food chicken flavour...for £3.00; and, then, returned back home.
On the bus some big white guy...tried to climb onto the bus...without paying for any ticket. The coloured bus driver objected...stating that unless he pays his fare; then, the bus ain't going to move. The white guy cursed at the black driver saying that he was being racist...because he only wanted to go just one stop...and, didn't see the point in paying £1.50 to do that. However, he coloured bus driver stood his ground really quite firmly. Then, the white guy, after realising he is going to get nowhere...hit on the coloured driver's door...and, then, got off.
LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE
Man, it's a strange thing life...you never quite know exactly what is going to happen, next...? You might think you are going down the road for the very simplest of things...go pick up a newspaper/go for a quick walk/run around the block...to get some 'fresh air'; and, then,...???
This is why I try to be extremely careful whenever I leave the house...even, if it's just to do something 'casual'...such as dump some rubbish half way down the road at the public tip. I try to make sure that both front/back doors are locked quite firmly shut...; and, that all lights are turned off...; and, no water tap has been left running/nor any electric fire left on.
Because, you just never ever know...if you go out...will you come back in still in one piece/alive or dead...?! A stranger's dog could bite you -(it has happened to my mum, before...; just as she was getting off the bus)-; and, I've certainly run into dogs behaving really aggressive towards me...for no other reason than they felt like it.
Other times, I've run into people drunk/on drugs/or, just plain 'racist'...who come towards you with a totally 'fuck you' attitude. You just got to pretend to stay cool; and, just 'ignore' them as much as you possibly can; otherwise, who knows...how that situation might tend to escalate. When somebody is in the mood to go looking for a fight...it doesn't take too much to trigger them off more and more.
