MetaCognition: Kite Runner

While pondering the Kite Runner and formulating my thesis for the paper, I noticed that my thoughts were like water. They trickle everywhere and are soon lost if they aren't caught and held onto. They go everywhere and all at the same time, so its hard to follow and pretty confusing... enough to give me a headaches. I usually have one or two clean main ideas, and everything else just flows out in never ending storms. A lot is lost though, trampled and pushed out of the way by everything else that demands attention. Sometimes, when I reach something that I actually want to remember the rain of ideas stops for just a minute, but thats just enough time to remember it, to write it down, to expand on it.
Its probably not the most effective way to use my brain, but I can't remember or imagine it any other way. When I was little, I always asked too many questions, usually before someone had finished explaining the last one, but that was the way my brain worked. How are you supposed to learn a different way to think? Couldn't everyone's brain think and work in completely different ways without scientists, and a great number of people, not knowing? I like my thinking though, because it works for me... I don't think any one else could survive very long with my brain... but I doubt I could survive very long with anyone else's. I wouldn't change a think about the way I think... some of my opinions could probably due with some changing, but the way I think is me, and works for me. If I tried to change my process of thought, wouldn't that just be another thought always present in my mind? Another raindrop? Just one more piece of the puzzle that is a brain, for anyone? Keep your thought process I say, but develop the thoughts being processed.
