Born to Be Wild

"Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Mira sub vino

Mira sub vino ... "miracle under wine".

Raisins in coffee

Raisins in your coffee? Why not!

Because it's good for me, not because I like it

Celery. Because it's good for me, not because I like it.

A gift for bugs

I have a talent, a gift, for finding software bugs.

But now is not the time. Now, I am trying to open a fucking folder in fucking Windows Explorer in fucking Windows 10.

Rebooted once already. Everything else is fine, but this one fucking folder won't open ... "Working on it ..." for a minute now ... waiting ... waiting ... fucking Windows.
