The Quintessence of Rambling
Because quintessence is a so very fun word which wound its way into my vocabulary list of this week, I shall resume my chain of daily blogging through the absolute nothingness that is occupying time by the typing of an article based about the word “quintessence.” About halfway through the previous sentence, I may have noticed I was trailing into the territory of a run-on, and may have committed the act of comma splicing so as to inevitably advance the destruction of the world. Such is true logic that the grammar Nazis of the world–both internet and real life–are only hindrances to the eventual Armageddon that is being catalyzed every moment by each breach of grammatical convention.
It is then that I upon myself commence to be more clear-sighted of my own grammatical mistakes in this article in which grammatical mistakes are perhaps of minuscule significance. But, without my own prescience–no less than my most enviable watch over the future of my own typing–this article may lose all traces of its claim in being the quintessence of all that is rambling, and it thus that my mind must scavenge for material in a pseudo-logical fashion which may tickle the brains of all readers.
Thus is the nature of the ramble and all that is to be in this section of the blog introduced by this article which may or may not be the quintessence of rambling or which may describe this section in whole as the quintessence of rambling. However, if the most idealistic model of rambling is never to be wholly achieved in any of these entities, it is then that the writer of this article must strive for the alternative which is to create an article informative of its title, an article which may serve to perhaps educate rather than to merely entertain(or bore).
So, as this writer chooses to speak in third person and lets her thought processes flow on in a very naturally disorganized fashion so as to inform all readers that there is no method to this madness, the writer will choose to define the word quintessence, given that it is indeed among her school vocabulary words of the week. Quintessence, with all its many synonyms including paragon and epitome, is a word which is eloquent to all who choose to mark it as eloquent and a word which is truly an impetus to the writing of this article though not wholly at fault for the creation of this section for which the word pioneers. It is a word which refers to the purest form of something such as the purest form of a ramble which may not show true of this article given that it has chosen to trail off from the trailing off that which is rambling by defining a word, and therefore giving it merit towards being a to-some-extent intelligibly useful article.
The density of that extent of usefulness need not be pointed out given that an article truly naming itself as the paragon of all rambling must–by standards which are by no means completely self-defined–be thoroughly seclusive of all that is serviceable. It is thus that to be the quintessence of rambling my be a far-fetched goal, justifying the author’s previous abandonment of the thought. Nonetheless, so long as there is more material by which nothingness can be extended ad infinitum, I must cordially invite the reader to accept by bona fide statement that any ramble eventually becomes wearisome and the writing of oneself in third person is all too naturally simple to break.
It is thus that the author shall from textforth refer to herself as ‘I’ as I so casually did during the infancy of this now many minutes-grown article. I speak onwards to abolish further rambling in that doing so may tarnish this article’s claim to the quintessence of rambling, an assertion which was never firstly to be enforced.
