Stream-of-consciousness is a literary technique that approximates the flow (or jumble) of thoughts and sensory impressions that pass through the mind each instant. Psychological association determines the presence or absence, as well as the order, of elements in the “stream.” Works…using this technique frequently appear to be choppy or fragmented-just as our thoughts, emotions, and sensory impressions often are. This lack of cohesion (or coherence) in n way implies sloppiness, randomness, or purposelessness on part of the author. Rather, the sudden countercurrents and the unexpected branchings of discourse are carefully designed to reveal specific characteristics of a [non]fictional human mind.

Don’t ask me what I “do”. I’m not going to allow myself to be pinned down to a job. In the grand scheme of things, I suppose I am nothing more than an ordinary guy trying to make day to day life make sense. And because of that, the views and opinions expressed here are my own and not associated with any group, community, or friend I am in relationship with.
If you want to find out more about me, you’ll have to make yourself available to meet me for a cup of coffee, walk through the city, or both. I’ll even buy the coffee. Should you not be able to do that, I am saddened but can be reached by email.
