I think too much

Following is an excerpt of a recent IM session I had with a buddy of mine. I thought it was pretty funny, and at the same time pretty deep and profound. Have a read.

t_a_q_i: better get ready to rm -rf your laptops
taymenc: uhh....
taymenc: you won't believe this
taymenc: i installed xp on my laptop for the time bein
taymenc: since a lot of the tools are for windows
t_a_q_i: well good for you!
taymenc: it felt a bit icky going through that part where the xp installer asked to remove "unknown" partitions on my drive
t_a_q_i: ahh..
t_a_q_i: good ol' windows
taymenc: felt like i was raping my laptop
t_a_q_i: no dude, you're just wathing bill gates rape your pc
t_a_q_i: you're as innocent as an innocent bystander
taymenc: i'll be glad once this training thing is done and i get my certificate
t_a_q_i: why?
t_a_q_i: i thought its the journey that matters
taymenc: i'll be able to purge my laptop of this devil spawn of an os
taymenc: or at the very least make it a dual boot machine
taymenc: 'sides
taymenc: i didn't pay for this copy of windows
taymenc: so i feel that i don't have the right to use it
taymenc: i'll use it if i paid for it
t_a_q_i: evil begets evil my friend
taymenc: and paid for the support
taymenc: windows is good...but piracy is baaaad
taymenc: four legs goooood
taymenc: two legs...baaaaaad
t_a_q_i: hmm... and in the end, the pigs becomes humans?
taymenc: yep
taymenc: and play poker
taymenc: i loved that cartoon
t_a_q_i: ok now.. think about this..
t_a_q_i: the new windows will be called longhorn, and the mascot is a four-legged bull... and linux is always with the two legged tux
t_a_q_i: hmm...
taymenc: you don't say?
taymenc: i didn't know they had a bull as a mascot
t_a_q_i: i thot longhorn is a bull
t_a_q_i: you know?
t_a_q_i: the thong logo that you saw in yan's blog
taymenc: hmm...i do recall you pointing me to a site
taymenc: yeah that's the one
t_a_q_i: thats a bull right?
taymenc: egad!
taymenc: i think you're right
t_a_q_i: its linux all along!
taymenc: but
t_a_q_i: windows is the victim
taymenc: linux is only the kernel
taymenc: a small part of it
taymenc: the rest of it is GNU
taymenc: GNUs have four legs
taymenc: how's that work into the equation?
t_a_q_i: ouh yeah
taymenc: we've got a problem here.....two legs working with four legs, trying to beat other four legs...
taymenc: i think we think too much
t_a_q_i: you think?
taymenc: i do
t_a_q_i: you think, therefore youare
taymenc: i think I think too much, at least
taymenc: you know what
taymenc: just the other day jumy asked me "why don't we like java again?"
taymenc: and i said that C is more straightforward
taymenc: and that C is faster since it doesn't have to run on "virtual machines"
taymenc: and that C is closer to the machine than java is
taymenc: then i thought about it
taymenc: and i came to the conclusion that I don't know if I do or don't like java,
taymenc: simply because i've never coded in it extensively
t_a_q_i: hmm true
taymenc: so i guess the same goes for OSes
taymenc: or movies
t_a_q_i: i don't like any languages that i dont know
taymenc: i keep saying i don't like titanic
taymenc: but i haven't watched it
taymenc: i say I'm open to new ideas
taymenc: but i close my mind to the experience of titanic
taymenc: and java
t_a_q_i: are you going to somehow twist this whole thing to accuse me of not experiancing linux?
taymenc: no no
taymenc: i'm just saying that
taymenc: maybe we should be more open to stuff
taymenc: why diss windows?
taymenc: why diss linux?
taymenc: why diss anything even?
t_a_q_i: hmm like gay sex and being submissive?
taymenc: ok i take that back
taymenc: gay sex is just
taymenc: so gay
taymenc: which makes it suck
taymenc: we should be open to anything except gay shit
taymenc: like gay sex
taymenc: and titanic and java
taymenc: hey!
taymenc: i think i solved the problem
t_a_q_i: hmm yups, titanic is a gay flick
t_a_q_i: and java is a gay language
taymenc: agreed!
taymenc: long live C and C++!
t_a_q_i: long live c++
t_a_q_i: !
taymenc: the titanic sank, screw java
taymenc: aah...it's always nice to be able to talk to a friend.
t_a_q_i: yeah dude
t_a_q_i: i need you to teach me again how to read music notes
taymenc: sure thing

So i guess sometimes no matter how "open" you say you are, how willing you are to try new experiences, there are some things you won't do, some places you just won't go. Which must be a good thing, otherwise we'd have too many gay java programmers watching sappy movies with sinking ships, no?
