, Tonight I really am subject less so I will talk about streams of consciousness. The first thing I have to say is that the spelling of consciousness is difficult and easily tripped up ,thereby stopping my stream of consciousness to flow smoothly and begin to resemble a bumpy country ride in a leafy lane redolent with earthy smells as is expected in that setting. The next thing I have to mention is the difficulty in punctuating a stream of consciousness. Does one go on happily spilling out words tumbling them out as a babbling brook unstoppable until they reach the ocean? Or does one stop them with commas and periods to say nothing of semi colons -those enigmatic dot comas- cluttering up the stream and clogging the flow thereby making it stagnant? Or heaven forbid even "paragraph" them? What trauma would one inflict on this stream then, twisting the flow unto itself, inverting it, thereby causing it to induce peristalsis-like movements as it backs up? Would it not be better to have a well planned concise well thought out sentence, with consecutive thoughts carefully and neatly punctuated and paragraphed? Ah, but then dear reader, what joy you will miss. What delightful ramblings among words and thoughts as disjointed as a ramble through an untamed wood with who knows what delectable objects to be seen around the corner? No let us have the unbridled stream of consciousness, immersing ourselves in glorious words thoughts and images until we are sated.
