Geometric Prognostication

Confused.

Thinking about life.  Trying to see a pattern.

Breaking it down to geometric terms, say, two points define a line, and three define a plane.

And lives are surely planes.  Must be, have depth will travel.

Because if you're trying to see a pattern in your life, and you're defining it by two points, you're gonna' waste a lot of time.  Anything can happen between two points.

A cross-dressing hate monger can become head of the FBI for a generation.   And a hard-drinking coke-head can become President.  

It really doesn't define a pattern.  And speaking in terms of prognostication, brother you're fucked.

But three points.  Ahh, there's the key.  Hearkening back to the example of our erst-while american leaders, one could pick the three points, and come up with a clearer picture of the life-plane.

Owned a baseball team, spent decades in a drug and alcohol haze, Presidency.  This would define a life of coddled indulgence and serious blue-blood backroom connections that panned out when Junior got off the hop and nod.  As such, one could prognosticate, that whatever happens to Junior's fortunes, he will still enjoy a life of comfort and indulgence. 

So which three to pick?  Ahh, the musing continues.  Perhaps I should divide my life into threes.  One of these points likely being my current position.

Hmmm.  Looks grim.

Maybe I should opt for four points, and go for a three dimensional axis. 

Its snowing big fat flakes, and I think I will go take pictures of old crypts.
