Is This A Good Post?
There’s a friend of mine who asks himself questions while he is talking. “Why does he do it? Presumably because he thinks it makes him sound more interesting.” Like that.
Sometimes he asks two questions like this:
“Is it a good idea? Possibly. Can we do it? Probably not. ”
This is double self-engagement which fails even more miserably in its intention to make what (s?)he says sound snappy and engaging. What if books started that way?
Was it the best of times? Possibly. Was it also the worst of times? Yes.
Or songs:
Where where my troubles yesterday? They seemed so far away. Are they here to stay? It looks that way now.
Where was I born? In a crossfire hurricane. Who was I raised by? A pitted toothless hag.
Is there a lady? Yes. What does she know? All that glitters is gold.
Am I a firestarter? Yes. What kind of firestarter am I? A twisted one.
