A Christmas Banjo Gift
I’m guessing you’re looking for some kind of a banjo or you wouldn’t have found this post. And chances are good that you have in some way connected your banjo need with Christmas. Put those two together and you have Christmas banjo. Isn’t that clever. Well, consider this. Rearrange Christmas banjo and what do you have? Banjo Christmas. I wanted to write a post about a Banjo Christmas. See how this works?
Are you reading this well ahead of Christmas? Uh oh. Maybe not. If not, that probably means that the phrase, stuck at Christmas without a gift, means something to you. Whether you’re here late or early, either way, read this, and you may get ideas about how to become a hero in the Christmas gift category. To work that out, let me ask a simple question. Do you have any idea about what price you can pay for a banjo? Or have you thought about what kind of banjo? Sorry, that’s two questions. In one question, do you have any ideas about what price or what kind of banjo?
To answer that question take a quick look at James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. Confused? Bear with me a few minutes. Joyce and Woolf used a writing style that most folks viewed as an absence of style. The term stream of consciousness was coined to describe their writing. Stream of consciousness writing requires one to come up with a subject, then write without really thinking, blindly recording everything that came into their minds, with grammatical errors, misspellings and no consideration about what makes sense. Rewriting was acceptable, but not much, and even with rewriting, most of what they transferred to paper was almost incomprehensible. But that was their aim. The one doing the writing will understand what is being written this way, even if to everyone else it is nothing more than gibberish. That may seem like a nonsense approach to you. If so, don’t go away yet, just bear with me for a few moments, please.
The idea is to use your very own stream of consciousness. Even if it’s a tainted stream, as it is with me, let’s try it anyway. The rule is to let your imagination run wild. Try to listen for things you might overhear in your mind then write them down without any additional thought. That’s another way to define “stream of consciousness”. The following paragraph is an example from my own muddy stream using our subject Christmas banjo:
Working late, hero, come unto me, do it, don’t do it, do it all, my way, I did it my way, again for my in law, brother, sister, yourself, do it yourself, late working, Christmas, don’t know, what can I get, well playing, tie a yellow ribbon, red ribbon, rags to riches, yellow and black, good gift, great gift, guitar, banjo, what am I doing, who cares, late working, belated, better, brother in law, never, tide that binds, banjo, banjo Christmas, Christmas banjo, Xmas banjo, never, not me, same thing, no, late wrapping, good gift, who cares, metal, metal drummer, drummer boy, little, wood, wooden, little drummer, fife and guitar, drum, banjo, how to play, who plays, too late, makes no sense, same thing, always, never, he already played, hate the sound of, no, make my own, economy, downturn, family, family project, yes, no, staycation, lost our way, some trip, we’re together, diy, do it yourself, me.
Of course this makes no sense, just as intended-not really intended, but just as expected. Sorry, I must not forget that the above nonsensical paragraph is just an illustration. It’s time to make some sense again. Try this yourself on the subject of banjo Christmas (or any subject for that matter), and you may get some real insight into your inner mind. You may be surprised at the revealing messages that may be just below your surface self. You could be blessed with an ah-ha moment, a way to determine the perfect, unique Christmas gift whether you’re shopping early or are somewhat stuck at Christmas without a gift. Good luck to you.
