So this should have come first...

Normally when you start a new experiment, or write a paper or whatever, something novel...you write your goals, your methods, explain them in order that the reader may have insight into the mind of the creator(if that is even necessary, see below) and so that they may have a methodology to read the work.

To begin-the Title.

Word Truncheon, what does it mean you ask, sound familiar say you? Well, it comes from the idea of the power of the word. A truncheon is a club, often associated with a royal guard or something of that sort. As a club, it was used to beat people. That should go without saying. So then one can easily see how Word (the letter , the word, the symbol, the symbolic order etc, also see Lacan again, for language structures the subconscious) and Truncheon, royal club, symbol of power. Thus the power of the word, and here we have a reversal of roles etc because words are common to all so think about it, read into it all you like, because it's there. A good deal of play in it.

Yes, I did use V for Vendetta for the title, funny of you to ask. "Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth." says V, so here we have a reversal, using the word as a truncheon. And read into the ties to the movie as much as you would like. I was actually born on Guy Fawkes Day, funny how that happens.

So that is from where the title comes. I do not end sentences with prepositions, so my sentences may appear to sound awkward for this very purpose. As Winston Churchill said, "Ending a sentence with a preposition is something of which I will not put." Point taken Winston. I refer to philosophers and historical events and characters by their first names and make jokes about them. Look for it. I like analogies and extended metaphors, thus make sure to read for that. Nothing is what it seems, the center is never ever the center. I write, virtually, like I talk. Mumbling, grammatically erratic and sometimes incoherent with a trace ( I hope) of brilliance. I like some elements of slang, just to spice things up. Wizard. I have been told I am too logical and boring to read, so I am doing my damnest to remedy(to some avail I hope) this. I don't proofread either, oops.

That's all for now.
