The art of rambling

You may feel that my coming entries are mindless rambles all over the place, god this blog is in shambles but I break my teeth just to have something to gamble, has he lost it was it too much to handle just like the handle of that teapot of that lid that blew from the teapot dome scandal. Fret not comrade it is not a result of my long absence, more like the result of the things I did during that long absence. Earlier my experiences were few, their retelling could follow a narrow part. But as our mind grows we outgrow that style of linear storytelling- it is simply not enough. I feel confined in the mode of written prose, but it is all that I have known so there is comfort I do not wish to leave. Still, I must. I am trying to graduate from the old style of expression of writing, however, my problem is that I do not have the patience to learn how to draw or sing or write rhymes. To overcome that problem I have adopted this style of writing, which explores any new thoughts that come up. Due to the city lifestyle and my phone I no longer experience deeper levels of thoughts, but writing down each avenue that my mind takes forces me to consciously delve deeper. See, my theory is that when you write thoughts rather than just think them, the brain triggers the sunk cost bias where, because writing took more energy/investment, you stick to the thought, see it through. Maybe it will help me think more, express better and most importantly tie-up concepts from various topics. So until then bear with me or leave, it is really up to you. 

Oh, so it is like pulling that rope on a motorboat really hard in multiple ways multiple times until it starts. The motor is my brain, I hate feeling brain dead or slow. If you feel the same way, that you are unable to form complete, original thoughts, perhaps you can join me in this exercise: spend ten minutes on a page write/draw whatever you feel like with no boundary for your thoughts.
