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.
