Wonderful. I survived the fever chills I had last night, survived the night mares I had on my couch this afternoon (except for an interlude where i dreamed that my hot young professor was lying in my bed waiting to ravage my body), I survived my boyfriend staying over for three nights and I survived my humiliating lesbianism in front of my boyfriends' friends ( I attacked all their girlfriends with my tongue) on new years eve. What else can happen?
Oh actually my mother got robbed in Italy. Somebody broke in, took all her gold and got my address here in canada. So today I receive this weird call of someone claiming to be my mother's friend and needing her account nr so he can wire her some money. I'm not stupid though. So I acted like it was all cool and kept asking for a number to call back but didn't get one. Oh well, I didn't give him an account number and he didn't give me his number so I guess we're even if it weren't for the fact that this was probably the same dude that stole all the gold my mother owned......
Lastly, love makes me puke
I mean love for a guy or a girl. You get all love sick when you really care about them and you can't reason properly anymore.... wonder all the time whether they love you back and crap like that. At the end you won't even listen to them anymore because nothing they say or do can make you feel better. It's like a desease. I want to un-love. I need to find a lover I guess. That always works miracles.

Yeah, love can make you puke. And it is near-impossible to convince someone 100% that you love them if they won't accept any of the evidence. Yeah, it's a disease, but a good disease.
Speaking of 'make you puke', disease-ridden love, check out this song I made for my sweetheart (it's called "Those Eyes' and I made it about a year ago, it's just a snippet of the whole song and I wanna re-record it). You asked to hear some songs, so no making fun of my lousy singing.....(please!)

Wishing you the best new year......

As for love, if the timing is right (if only for a little while), it isn't quite so bad.. But even the pain is worth experiencing -- mind you I don't know that the pain actually ever helped a relaionship, but it's good to test your limits.
Anyway, Nietzsche and Plato/Socrates, right? Let's play.
I don't see them as irrelevant to each other, but certainly opposed to each other. Like you said, N. referred to x-ianity as platonism for the masses. In short, there is this 3rd realm where the standards of truth reside. X-ianity implies the same thing but calls that realm God and Heaven.
And did N, disrespect Plato/Socrates (or anyone in a personal way -- other than Wagner)? In Ecce Homo he quite clearly says otherwise. Rather he plainly states that it's the ideas these people and beings represent/express that he hates. N was too chaste (yes, chaste) and too calculating to confuse the idea and the person. So, I agree there as well.
The relationship is important and fascinating. I didn't even think of Plato's cave and Zarathustra's cave being the same thing -- that gives me a great deal to think about. Got anymore insights like that? But the relationship seems to be one of opposition more than affinities.
I suppose what confuses me is how it is that you LIKE both of them, being as opposed as the are? (I just deleted a much too long commentary on why I prefer N. to Plato)
And, since you brought it up, I wonder where N. says he is in favor of breeding in much the same way that Plato talked of it. Sure he mentions breeding often, but not in the way that Plato talked of it. Indeed, it seems to me that he called for bold experimentation and risk-taking not rigidly controlled and goal-oriented breeding in order to have a grreater society...
