WHAT YOU'RE THINKING (WHILE READING THIS).
How can this guy profess to know what I'm thinking? That's beyond arrogant. Although I agree with the previous sentence. Maybe there's something to this. I AM finding this quite irritating, after all. I'll keep reading, but only because I've nothing better to do. What does this moron hope to achieve with this piece? What's the point? I'm just not convinced. Is it supposed to be art? I mean, yes, it's clever, but funny? Hardly. It's in danger of collapsing under its own weight. Maybe it IS art. Really bad art. I hope he's not getting paid for this nonsense.
Wait - that doesn't sound like something I'd say. If I were writing this part, it'd have a lot more pizazz. I think the main problem is that the idea isn't strong enough. What's the hook? What's the angle? It's just too smart for its own good. Surely there should be a punchline of some kind at this point. I'll wait for it. Still nothing. Ugh! I wish I didn't have to keep reading after this sentence! This guy's a hack! I feel like I'm doing all the work for him.
Now I've re-read the whole thing and I'm struck by its clunkiness, and indeed the ongoing clunkiness of this sentence.
If you're going to attempt an experiment like this, at least be bold; be assured; be elegant. Now - there, you see, what was the point of using "bold" AND "assured"? So far, this is one of the most idiotic things I've ever read, although that's a bit of an exaggeration, and now that I think of it, this sentence isn't too bad. I'm beginning to identify with the author. I don't know how to feel about that. Angry, probably. Why am I still reading this? Have I got nothing better to do? This paragraph is just dragging and
dragging. That was a stupid place to end a paragraph. Or was it? Perhaps I've got no-one to blame but myself. And the author.
Wait, I'm confused again.
