Friday Morning, and All Is Well!
So, I had an interesting conversation with Bower yesterday. As you may or may not know, I have been formulating an concept of history as a 4-dimensional equation relating the interactions of space-time vectors. Throughout the matter, the chief difficulty for me has been the problem of human consciousness. How does it fit in, and does it really have an effect on things? As I thought more about it, Leibniz's notion of pre-ordained harmony seemed to fit quite nicely, though it is disturbingly deterministic. Needless to say, I am somewhat uneasy. At any rate, I was talking with Bower, and I mentioned that I think I have been turning into Leibniz (intellectually). He just looked at me and said, "Quite frankly, I'm not surprised. I saw it coming a looong time ago." Confused, I asked how long. "Logan and I actually predicted it about two years ago, mentioning that you were probably Leibniz reincarnated." Which is somewhat interesting, considering that Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz died on November 14, which just so happens to be my birthday. This just weirded me out a bit. Does this mean that I will be fated to "reverse engineer" some new mathematical system by looking at the works of the reincarnation of Sir Isaac Newton, and then commence to get into a huge feud with said reincarnation? If so, is that reincarnation by any chance John Lesh? Does that mean that I am forever tied to John Lesh, my chief nemesis, and the antithesis of all that is pure and good and holy? Oh crap, my life would suck! Good thing I don't believe in reincarnation, then.
In other news, we start Philosopher's Bible Study, with Wyma, Cochise, Lil' Jao, some guy I don't really know, and me. It should be interesting. I'm looking forward to it, at any rate.
In other other news, my sister's boyfriend is in town this weekend, which means she wants the car. In short, I will be confined to my feet once more. Damn the luck. Oh well. I went three years without a car, so what difference will two days make? Probably not much. I'll just have to bum rides off of people. At any rate, folks, live long and prosper.

John Lesh is your enemy? Why? Surely you can come up with a worthier enemy than John Lesh. He's just...well...not worthy nemesis material. Need someone a little stronger and less just obliviously annoying.
Oh, you don't know the Lesh like I do. He has plagued me since before I even came to Whitworth, and it's just one of those things where, given my luck, no matter where I end up, John Lesh will be there waiting to just annoy the piss out of me. It has been said that the true purpose of evil is to annoy rather than destroy, and if that's the case, then John Lesh is evil incarnate. I suppose he may not be a true nemesis, in that he does not quite realize that I intensely dislike him, but I fear that I will have to contend with him throughout the course of my life.
Excellent. I'm still not a cultist. I have my own dark and arcane form of cheese snacks available to me. I call them Ctheethos. And believe me when I say that the less you know about John Lesh, the better.
