numerology

Looking up the rush album 2112 I noticed something... Hmmm. Neil Pert (born September 12, 1952), is an author and a musician. I saw a line in wiki that said "He drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon and John Bonham, players who were at the forefront of the British hard rock scene."

Whoa, Keith Moon (23 August 1946 – 7 September 1978) "left" 9.7.78. He was 32 (according to my math). John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham (31 May 1948 – 25 September 1980) left on 9.25.80, and was also 32. I was reading about the circumstances of Keith Moon's tragic passing, and noticed that his physical proximity was given on wiki as an address, No.12 at 9 Curzon Place, Mayfair in which Cass Elliot had died a little under four years earlier. Cass Elliot (September 19, 1941 – July 29, 1974), born Ellen Naomi Cohen, and at the time of her tragic passing, she too was 32. I read her wiki and it said "fatty myocardial degeneration due to obesity". Wow, even if I had no interest at all in writing about this subject, it, like "the island" would pull me in regardless of my given field of study.

All I can say again is wow. I started out because I just remembered the album 2112 and thought about how funny it was that I had brought up that whole thing. Everything really is connected though, as if I am experiencing the results of intellectual convergent evolution, re-inventing the wheel over and over because I'm stuck in the loop as the observer.

I chose to name this post numerology because of that way that "Numerology is any of many systems, traditions or beliefs in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things." I would say that pointing out the path to an eventual obesity relation drawn together by a (silly) string of coincidental dates and locations probably does, in fact, qualify as being an example of such phenomenon. Did someone say feynman diagram again? Maybe it's just the degrees to obesity except in reverse.

Much more on that and the answer to life, the universe, and everything coming soon.
