Who has the advantage here?
Does the fact that I'd intended to insert these tangential thoughts as links
mean that I have to do so when I'm reporting on my intentions? There really is,
after all, a difference between stating something and reporting on that intent.
What's more, when I look at my notes simply as text with additional bracketed
thoughts, it's far from clear that inserting those thoughts as links actually
contributes to either the flow of the text, or to its meaning. On the other hand,
those parenthetical thoughts are often intended as the jumping off point for additional
asides.
The first of these thoughts stemmed from the words pause of
consideration:this should relate to the idea that
we're always in need of new experiences, of upping the ante, of painting
the walls a different color and making the music
louder
The second thought, although also in brackets, can
probably be dealt with on this page:and of course I
should also ask - why did I write out a note about this and put it in my pocket?
other than the important fact that I was trying to turn off the computer and wanted
to stop writing already
There are times when a scribbled note
stashed away in my pocket, or left on my desk until I either relate to it or lose
it, may be preferable to a digitally created one, but I'm quite sure that the
only times that I'll jot down a note in this manner are either when I'm shutting
down, or if the computer is already closed. I have, for instance, noted (actually,
a few times, though an aside from five years ago
seems to be the classic comment) in the past that some of (what to me seem to
be) my best thoughts seem to light up above my head when I'm in the shower before
going to sleep.
