Nietzsche has sung his last song in my head… (his music sucks btw) and i am complete with the Nietzschian paper. It turned out well i believe… Trey is looking over it tonight.. and then i’m turning it in tomorrow.
now to goof off for a few hours then catch some sleep…
I was in Anthropology of Religion and I overheard that our society is indoctrinated with the understanding of threes. When we issue out ideas, if they fall in a series it is our Gaelic heritage which propels us to forumlate them in three. I had recognized this pattern, but had assumed it was an internal reaction to destroy false dichotomies. Instead of recognizing the duality of the world, we posit the triality (sp? hell is it even a word?) of the world. The third part is always a point in the center of the two opposing viewpoints.
Three main points in a paper?
Three musketeers? (hehe)
i’m getting silly now, but honestly evaluate your own listing abilities and decide whether or not your gaelic. The Celts believe three was a magic number, perhaps we do also.
I spoke with Trey last night. He is one of the people who i gave Michael’s work so that I could get other people’s interpretations of it. I’m interested in spreading it around because I think it is a damn good story and i’m wishing someone would finish it. Also i believe he should get recognition for being talented.
Trey is enjoying the story, and agrees that the man had some serious talent. In fact, interestingly enough, he agrees that M. Buornauro had time down pat. If you are going to have a superhero who can manipulate time, you had better create a conception of time. M.B. did a pretty good job at actually creating a conception of time.
Trey told me though that if he had not known that M.B. had commited suicide, that he would have guessed it in the near future after reading his work. He believes there is enough evidence to suggest the individual was preocuppied with suicide.
I didn’t notice it, but then i watched a film M.B. made. I guess it even alludes to the future, since the character in there threatens to commit suicide. Alluding to being, “crazy….. crazzzzzyyy.” He was a loon.
So where can you segregate the artist from the work? Is it possible? Can we honestly say that the work isn’t testament to how the artist is feeling?
Mary and I get in this debate all the time, but it is personal there. She wrote a novel and argues that the novel has nothing to do with her, or at least that you have to watch what you link her up with in her novel. Oh well… i’m sure there are skads of literary analysis that debate this topic.
Interesting story.. i watched closer and i’m thinking, “This movie reminds me of another movie… NO IT IS A BOOK I READ! wow. Kundera’s book ‘the unbearable lightness of being'” then suddenly at the end of the film i think, the movie wasn’t half bad right? I look and see what the director has done before. The Graduate turns out to be his work. Interesting link.
Spastic post i know… i’m briefly posting this because i need to return to fleshing out part three of my paper.
This is interesting. There is an article, and a lawsuit that will determine if in fact the wachowski brothers stole the idea for the matrix from an already written manuscript. This intrigues me because the wachowski brothers have also written a philosophical work on the philosophy behind the matrix.
Hmmm…. interesting.
Everyone should remember i hate the matrix. I’ve seen the prophet/messiah done better in Dune and i’ve also seen the humans-as-power done better in anime’s… this just makes it even more poignant that they haven’t gotten an original bone in their body.

1) Finish nietzsche report.
—Update— I have all my sources laid out and i’m begining to piece together the parts… I’ve figure out which quotes work best to illustrate each section of my paper… the biggest hurdle, (that of coming up with a conception of the will to power) has been answered to my sufficient ability.
2) Movie watching experience
—Update— I’ve seen a lot of movies also. I watched National Treasure and Spirited Away. A lot of questions about the second movie. The first is a complete rip off of the davinci code. (book) when it comes out later, i’ll ask you if you agree. Spirited away was good.
3) Games
not much, i played a little half life 2 and prince of persia but i bet you could care less about either of those games.. i’m enjoying them but not as intently as i’d like. I play for about 30 minutes get tired and quit…
—Addition to christmas list—
-World of Warcraft (game)
—-Not sure why i neglected to put it on the last one..
Just look at the evidence… Mary should be dating a Sagetarious (sp?)… boy am i glad the stars lined up with that one… i’d have hated to have been something different then me… *WHEW*… so the heavens agree with our arrangement…
I can breath a little easier now…
uh oh… i’m supposed to date an aquarious.. Mary better worry… It is a good thing that i’m an intellegent boyfriend, i can learn the system and doctor the results..
(more…)
I was about to step outside for a while.. go for a walk.. when i sat at the computer and looked through my bookmarks… i saw it there… it has been a while.. i’m not sure why i bookmarked the page.
I’m facinated with suicide. (Do not worry mom and dad if you are reading this it isn’t that i’m concerned for myself.) I’m fascinated with people who go that next step. What pushes them overboard? What exactly happens to make an individual take that step from contemplation to action?
I remember reading an essay, and i’m positive i’ve told you about this in passing. The essay is called Sysiphous. It was written by Albert Camus. He is one of my favorite philisophical writers. He argues that with the ‘death’ of God, which is without question the only explanation about life in this world, the most important question to answer is “Why not comit suicide?” I think it is drastic but it has relevance.
Anyway, so as i was mindlessly clicking on my links i run across the link to Michael Buonauro’s blog. It is an eery creation. It is the last words he has shared with the world about his life. I leave this link sprawled across the textbase with hope you will take a moment and see his writing.
I warn you, this might disturb you…

He was very talented, but that doesn’t matter now.
ok i’m off for my walk…
