I'm Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon to Your Star

So, today, as I was writing my own obituary my philosophy examination, I started day dreaming. Because that is what productive people do during exams with questions (worth 10% of 60% of 40% or 60% of the year...apparently philo-kids are supposed to do math now?!) on philosophers that we didn't study.

" To really understand Nietzsche, you need to understand Schopenhauer. And you really need to know Kant. Unfortunately, we don't have time to look at Kant, so I'll breifly go over Schopenhauer..."

Oi! Is it bad that I abhor this kind of disorganized flake-ness? I mean the man shows up a mere 2 minutes before the exam starts. Pulls the exams out of his backpack, apologizes (poor baby was up until 3!), and proceeds to not notice the tomato all over the booklets and exams. Might I add, for the record, how not cool tomatos are? It amazes me that some people manage to get phds....or graduate kindergartan.

Anyways, I had a point, I swear. Right. I was babbling on about Thomas Aquinas' third argument for the existence of god (bleh). I shall explain it thusly. 
- if everything can come in and out of being, it is possible for there to be a time when nothing exists
- you can't make something from nothing
- so if everything goes out of existence, nothing can exist again 
- things exsist
- there must be something that always exists 
...Thomas goes on about other stuff, and God and the heavens and things of the such that don't depend on other things and all that jazz. But I was thinking, what if, we just haden't come to that combination of all things not existing yet? What if, we've just been lucky, and something has (by chance) stayed in existence? It's like, all things not existing at the same time is a song on a really big playlist. And this playlist is actually random, like, there is absolutely no rules about repeating songs before others have been played, or the chances of playing the same artist twice in a row.

Maybe, non-exsistence just hasn't happened yet, but if I put my itunes on suffle, there is a 1 in 3342 chance that Avril Lavigne will play. Imagine that, with much larger numbers...and instead of avril, it's the one combination of nothing exsiting.

That could just like...poof. 
I think it's kinda cool. But then again, I have Avril Lavigne in my library.

One week until: home, beast, bed, crepes with dyanna, hair cuts, real life....

indie is the new mainstream, pizzeace out
